The best restaurants in Leicester East Midlands

Amazing Chinese food at reasonable prices. Presentation is decent in the traditional-looking Chinese takeaway containers. Decent variety, but the food tastes great.

Really nice burritos, lovely staff. Very much like subway but for burritos and tacos etc. Good value for money

Kelly was awesome! Had a great time.

Dinner and drinks were exceptional as always! The same manager that’s always on and a new starter who was only 18 provided us with the best service we’ve had on our many visits! 5* food, 5* drinks and 5* service, couldn’t really ask for a better place to go!

Not going to lie if you are looking for a glamorous place go elsewhere. If you’re looking for amazing vegetation/meat honest FANTASTIC food look no further. Their paneer is amazing crispy coated,gorgeous crispy bhajer is lovely. My mate loved his meat dishes. Wine list is pretty good too.

Not bad at all for an african cuisine food very good but the only problem is finding where to park yo be able to do this also the place is not so big inside it

An amazing restaurant! Super friendly staff and excellent food. I would highly recommend their handmade noodles and steamed dumplings. My cousin Hassaan eats HMC only and its safe to say he was bouncing with joy!

Recently (10/12), I hosted a Christmas dinner for 20 students at The Clarendon Inn and from the moment I arrived to when I left the service and communication was exceptional. It was an extremely personal experience, nothing was too much to ask. The pub’s warm, welcoming atmosphere set the perfect tone for the evening, and made it a comfortable setting for both quiet and group conversations. The food was to a very high standard and has a very wide variety of choices suitable for everyone. Given the size of the party the food still arrived at the same time and there was no errors (which is remarkable given the size of the party). Everyone commented on how nice it was. Overall, I cannot fault the experience and I will be returning. Thank you to everyone that made the evening so special — especially the bar staff, really appreciate the support and hospitality. Hope you all have a good Christmas and hope to see you in the new year.

Our first time at Oakey Smokey and it couldn't have been a better experience. Places like this stand or fall on the quality of the meat and this is the best we have tasted. Can't recommend it enough. We heard there may be changes ahead, hopefully not too many as there's nowhere like this for miles around. Large brisket, dino rib (crazily large) and loaded fries with brisket.

Great experience and lovely food, definitely recommended, thank you

First time using this take away after remembering it being great. I’m afraid it was most disappointing this time, ribs were tough, crispy duck wasn’t crispy, everything was cold and greasy. The restaurant also felt dirty and unwelcoming. Sorry, but we will not visit again

I don't know why this restaurant has such good reviews. The noodles were basically like spaghetti and the black bean sauce was made with bisto. Some of the food was okay, but if you want proper Chinese food you're better off going to a genuine Chinese restaurant

Leicester had a good few shisha spots around the city but then it took a bit of a dive as some closed down and some new ones just were not up to the usual standards. The opening of Bukhoor Lounge was needed, a great little spot just outside of Highfields. Each time I’ve been the shisha has been great quality, and the place has a nice vibe to it. Also has a lot of parking which is rare for shisha places.

Lovely shishas. Nice warm heated space.

Ordered Cillie Chicken Rice box and Shezwan Chicken Rice box. Waste of money, too dark colour, very hard to find chicken pieces , taste was terrible!!
