The best restaurants in Leicester East Midlands

Lovely peaceful cafe for lunch. Great meat free offerings in a light, bright modern place

I recently celebrated my graduation at The Frame in Leicester, and I couldn’t be happier with how everything turned out. From the moment I started planning with Antonio and the team, they made the process so smooth and stress-free. Their attention to detail and willingness to go the extra mile really stood out. They were incredibly thoughtful about everything, from the drink options to the flavors of the dishes, and made sure everything was exactly how I wanted it. On the night, the atmosphere was elegant yet welcoming, and my guests were so impressed by the customer service and the food. The portions were more than generous, and every dish was packed with flavor. The team created such a wonderful vibe, keeping everyone happy, laughing, and well looked after. After a long journey leading up to the event, their kindness and genuine care meant so much to me. They made my graduation feel so special, and the night ended up being even better than I’d imagined. I can’t thank Antonio and the team enough for everything. The Frame is a fantastic place to celebrate any special occasion, and I’d highly recommend it to anyone.

Took my family here on a visit to Leicester, food was very nice but there was no atmosphere and the toilets were so bad we had to go somewhere else to take our children to use the toilet which is a shame as the food was good and the young lad behind the counter was friendly and helpful

We were in Leicester for the night and the request from the family was for a Turkish meal. Having found this restaurant on Tripadvisor with good reviews I decided to book it. Booking was easy and Hasan confirmed it very quickly. On arrival Hasan was really welcoming. Service was friendly and fast, and we had a lovely meal followed by a complimentary shot. As a family group of 5, we had a couple of the cold sharing platters, various types of shish kebabs ( all excellent ), followed by Baklava. Overall I'd really recommend Anatolia if you are in looking for something different in Leicester.

Decent selection of beers which are changed regularly. No TV or music blaring, just a nice pub to enjoy a good drink with friends. The ale selection is almost entirely pale ales, with an occasional stout or porter. I’d love to see a darker malt beer, but so far I’ve been disappointed.

Love the burgers from there. Have been a few times and never had a bad one.

Tuvimos una cena encantadora en Friends. La comida era deliciosa, el servicio era genial y el ambiente encantador. Había algunas grandes opciones de menú que no se ven en todas partes y realmente disfrutamos de nuestra comida.

After a perfect breakfast, I was very happy to finish it with a perfect coffee…

If you ever visit Alivels, I highly recommend trying their beef burger. The beef flavor is so rich and delicious that it truly enhances the overall taste of the burger. One thing that stood out to me the most was the exceptional hospitality, which made me feel like I was dining in the comfort of my own home. It's definitely a dining experience worth savoring! 🍔😋

Conocí a mis padres en la ciudad por unas copas y comida. La señora recordó a mi padre por su nombre. Nos sentamos rápido. La comida llega caliente y fresca, sin duda volvería de nuevo

Great service great price and great food. I highly recommend the chicken and lamb mixed doner

Always good food and the owners make you very welcome, we travel about 15 miles to revisit.

Eaten at lots and lots of Indian restaurants in the UK, this might be the BEST ONE. can’t wait to come back

We took the kids for a quick lunch and it ticked all the boxes. The food was no frills, but fresh, tasty and cooked well. The lady serving us was friendly and very helpful.

Good table service. Great tasting food. Group of 8 ordered Super Platter. Very tasty and generous portions. Been here several times and will come again. A. Sheikh (Leicester)
