The best restaurants serving Other cuisines food in Arboretum Derby East Midlands

It was in 1979 as a 18yr old I and the youth of the day use to call into this wonderful propper café. The days of Anti pasti the punk band of derby who use to hang out on old derby Market place along with all the other people who use to call and eat or just drink the really good coffee and tea that use to be served here . I became homeless at around 20 yrs of age and every Thursday for reasons I'm still not sure of I use to always call into the Acropolis for either breakfast or a really hearty afternoon meal . It is such a shame to hear that the place has closed down. Another sad blow to derby I am sad to say . I can honestly say that the my memories of the place and the staff who worked there is one of gratefulness. The place literally kept me alive at a very dark period of my life . The food was brilliant and plentiful. Not sure if anyone who owned the place back then or who worked there back in the late 70s will read this but the Acropolis cafe saved my life . Sounds a bit odd I know but trust me to be able to have a lovely hot meal at affordable prices and a hot drink saved my life . Thank you all at Acropolis. That café has always always and will always hold a special place in my Heart 💙 . Such a loss . Thank you Barry . Xx

Absolutely awful service... Can't comment on the food as we never got any. Sat and waited to be served got totally ignored until my partner approached the counter ask if we ordered at the counter or if it was table service and was told it was table service.... Still no order taken.... Eventually got served .... Order was taken ... A tea and an orange juice came quite quickly.. but no food.... After sitting watching 3 other tables that came in LONG after we'd been waiting getting served their orders, it was VERY obvious that there was favouritism VERY obvious. So I cancelled the food, that still wasn't being cooked and paid for the drinks and left... Absolutely disgusting treatment, crappy service ... If you're not a local or a regular avoid it like the plague 🤬

I use this cafe most Thursdays for a coffee to await an appointment elsewhere. The coffee is excellent and the staff very friendly. It is clean and tidy. I notice many regular customers returning frequently which tells me they too are happy with the standard of coffee and other offerings.

We visited the Panorama again,and once again we enjoyed the experience.The whole area is undergoing refurbishment,with scaffolding in place.Still the service and good was second to none.We are a light breakfast with a lot of rosy lea,which was delicious.Even sitting amidst the scaffolding,this venue is pleasant.

Costs £1 just to get in the door. I had a buffalo bird burger (£13) which comes with chips from a stand called ‘yardbirds’. Asked to upgrade chips to cheesy chips (which were £1 more than normal chips on the menu) and was charged £19! Pointed out that I only wanted to upgrade the chips and the guy said he’d misheard me and took his headphones off. Then charged me £17.50! He drowned the burger in buffalo sauce and the chicken was precooked. Was just a soggy mess. Couldn’t eat it all as the amount of sauce made me feel ill. My partner had a burger and chips from a stand called ‘brisk n bone’. He paid £13 and was disappointed with the quality for the price. None of the stands sell drinks so we had to queue up at the bar. A Diet Coke in a plastic cup cost £4.80! That does include £1 for the reusable cup. Seating at the tables was just wooden benches. In summary, we paid £42.10 for 2 portions of burger, chips and Diet Coke, that weren’t that nice. No entertainment, just some arcade games, which would have cost more. If you want to make a night of this, you’ll need to take out a bank loan

Surprised there aren't more reviews for this 'proper' cafe. Lots of simple, but filling choices - the usuals on toast, chip cobs, sandwiches, full meals etc - for excellent value prices. Fed 2 hungry kids and myself with drinks with change from £10 - try and do that elsewhere! Service was efficient, food arrived quickly. It tasted great and with good portion sizes. Just what was required!

Came here after watching racing at Donnington Park. It was fish night and the fish and chips was delicious. Friendly staff and service with a smile. Would definitely recommend :)

Didn’t have what I ordered to to a technical online ordering issue was sent nice like note a more than appropriate replacement as well as a little extra, 5star service. Thanks guys :-D

Would rather eat my nan at her own funeral

Been a few times wonderful service and staff

We had the best host Sav in derby. Honestly! She recommended the best drinks and kept us topped up all night. Had the best convo. Brilliant, would recommend Burger and sweet potato fries was absolutely delicious and filling. Couldn’t finish it all. Had a great 2 hours. Would recommend 1000^

Nice little pub great service sky sports could do with getting rid of as it's killing the place

I love Starbucks coffee and l collecting the cups that l love it

One of my all time favourite pubs in the whole country, I very much enjoy travelling up from London to pop in for a few jars and have even contemplated moving to Derby so I can do it more often. A phenomenally well-run pub suited to real ale drinkers, with an ever changing selection of well chosen beer. The atmosphere in this place can be quite something to behold. I hope the younger generations cotton on and realise it's more fun having a natter out here than indoors behind a phone screen! Here's to many more years at the Smithfield and I hope to see you again soon.

Great service, great food, great vibes thanks to Karam 👌👌👌
