The best restaurants in Leicester East Midlands

No delivery Closes Soooo early MUST update APP on line Sooo outdated unfortunately they try to use that to there advantage!

Experiencia edificante! Una joya escondida en el centro de la ciudad de Leicester, no lejos del centro comercial Highcross y el mercado de Leicester. Comida real preparada en el pedido. Tuve un desayuno tardío de aguacate y queso de cabra sazonado perfectamente. El café está recién molido y llega al punto. Me encantó la sensación retro peculiar acogedora. Gran comienzo de semana.

Chilled out place value for money as well

What can I say apart from WOW this chicken is amazing and the chips are on point .....Will be back again !!

This place has a lively atmosphere and the staff are friendly, my second visit and both times had to wait a long time for service, drinks and food, which took the shine off the evening. Waited 20 mins for some water, was given a bottle and no glasses. Had to catch a waiter to order drinks and food. Drinks took 30 mins and food over an hour and when it came out they’d missed a main dish so I ended up just eating some salad and rice. They were apologetic then asked for our table because we had run over the time but it was their fault. They’re nice people but I think it’s overrated.

I have been wanting to go here. And finally did! Small cosy restaurant. Wonderful staff, brilliant service and food was amazing. Would like to go again but seems to be closed when we pass by.

Food is not available, soft drink and pan.

Wanted to try out this place for a while, they had opened then closed for a few years and they opened up recently again. I remember going as a kid to the takeaway on Hartington road some 30 years back. Hopes were high as food was finger licking good then. Place is nicely decorated, comfortable chairs and they also took orders via/tablet which was nice to see. Menu is quite simple, not too many dishes. I believe that is the best way to do it, so that you just offer the customer what you are best at. We ordered the lake Malawi mix, beef and chicken mishkaki and some mocktails. The lake Malawi mix was a sharing platter for 2, which included, rice, spicy chips, chicken and beef steak, lamp chops and prawns. Everything in the platter tasted amazing, authentic Malawi cuisine. I was looking forward to the mishkaki the most, the meat was tender and tasted good but it didn't have that tangy taste that the mishkaki has back in Malawi/Tanzania. The mocktails were nicely decorated and tasted good. Food was presented really well and they catered for our needs. Service was impeccable. Could not fault it. They really look after the customer, making you want to come back. I would say the service was the best I've received in recent times. Definitely would go back and this time want to try their whole chicken as that looked tasty.

As far as indie coffee goes it's pretty poor. I'm sure the coffee used to be better but it's pretty stock Costa Coffee quality now. If you love your coffee the best places are Leicester Coffee House, The Coffee Obsessive and Saints of Mocha.

Wow! This food at this place was great. We walked in and weren't sure what to make of the place, but we were given a warm welcome, chatted to out host and went with his suggestions (having never had Nigerian food before). We were told roughly how long it would take, spiciness levels etc. The food came and it was unbelievable! So tasty and decent portions too. I can't recommend here enough. Oh, bring cash though!

I have been a loyal Plukd customer since day 1 for 2 reasons. 1: Big Jus, The Wing King - and worthy of the title. This is an owner operated business and the enthusiasm and passion for not only the food but also the customer service makes you feel like you part of something. . Some chicken wing loving family or something. The second reason I love Plukd is the food. The wings are excellent, always fresh and a good size too (no little niblets), the flavour options are great - plenty of variety to suit every pallet. I especially like gangnam. Mac and Cheese is top draw and Plukd scratching should be sold in Tesco next to pork scratching its that good. Finally Plukd do all you can eat events. If ever you get a chance. . You should.

I went to the West End Brewery today and can confirm it is closed! in spite of all the news, rumours and articles I had read, I decided to give this place a last chance and guess what I found? a closed pub! Well done to Josh, Russ and Tina (and John) on running the best pub for miles and wishing you all the best for whatever the future brings!

Visited with a group of friends and children. Atmosphere was friendly & welcoming. Drinks were good but the latte just tastes like semi skimmed hot milk! It was a take away so couldn’t approach anyone to give feedback. Definately as others have stated, they need barista training. I asked for a “wet” latte and she asked, what’s one of those? Surely if your a trained barista and know your coffee you’d know a “wet latte”. Cold drinks are ok and food is nice but very pricey for what it is. We would go back but not for a coffee!!

We made the café / bar late in the afternoon and the young lady there was the first class. She was pleasant and helpful willing and knew what she needed to do to keep people moving.
