Top food in Loughborough! Food was faultless. The Rucola pizza was lovely and canāt wait to try more from here! Small bites were great too, came with dips and full of flavour. Reasonably priced, and lovely staff. Quite a small restaurant so can get crowded however a lovely atmosphere when quiet.

Just had my daughters birthday party here and it was amazing!! They couldnāt do enough for us and the pizzas were incredible. They had lots of gluten free options for a member of the party, including deserts, which were delicious. Would highly recommend for food and/or an event.

Merv's Kitchen @ The Swan In The Rushes

I had to run for my train so they donāt look the best but they tasted amazing and the blue cheese dip was so delicious. I got them with Frankās sauce which tasted like buffalo sauce. The staff was really friendly as well. I will definitely go again one day

Excellent food in the menu, huge fan of ribs and spicy wings and Pizza, highly recommended this place! šš
Rating: 5 / 5
Been going to the Swan for decades now, since I was a kid. The food has always been good there. With the arrival of Merv, it has gone from 'Good Pub Food', to straight up 'Good Food'! We had Burgers, ribs and a side of fries. Faultless. The only downside is that we just wanted more. Next time we will definitely go for the 'All you can eat ribs'. Would recommend this to anyone.
Rating: 5 / 5
Ordered from this place a few times now and each time I wish I ordered a bit more. The burger was better than any of the "burger places " in town and the ribs, wings and hotdogs all match. Don't be put off looking for cheaper options because the quality is there at Mervs. Great food if you're looking for some Americana. Perfect for summer time in the garden. š

The food is delicious, especially the onion bhaji & dip sauces. The staff is very nice & friendly. The service is the best.

We enjoyed it. Unlike other Indian restaurants, they serve curry in a bowl you eat from rather than a small dish plus main plate. Portions were good. Nepalese cuisine but they also do the usual Indian curries.

Friday night dinner at the Everest Lounge while visiting Loughborough. Really enjoyed the service and food. Very extensive menu and good portion sizes. Pictured is Chicken Lababdar and Lamb Pardesi, coconut and mango rice with Mumbai aloo. Would recommend for an evening meal.

Recently are here with friends. While we had a little difficulty ordering our food when it arrived it was delicious. Thereās plenty of options so should be enough for everyone. The mains donāt come with rice which has to be ordered separately which bumped up the final bill a bit. Each of us had a starter, main and drink and it was over Ā£40 each so on the dearer side for Loughborough. We would consider eating here again though.

Nice ambience and delicious food. Very tasty. Service could be better, it took forever for our orders to be taken and the food to come out. We sat over an hour. It does feel quite authentic Italian once you walk in. All in all, good value for money and I'll be back again.
Rating: 5 / 5
Classic Italian with a good range of pasta and seafood dishes. Although busy service was excellent; friendly but unobtrusive. Food is all cooked fresh but the wait was relatively short given the quality of what they are producing. Iād book ahead as it was pretty full when we there.

Fresh, authentic and traditional Italian family run restaurant. Tasty and fresh ingredients used. Good option menu offering vegetarian and non vegetarian dishes. Great drinks menu too. Perfect dining out with family and friends.

Fantastic food! Great service from Mahi and the rest of the staff. Walked in on a Wednesday evening and was immediately seated. Highly recommend the Lamb Dosas and the Chef's signature Cheera Erachi Curry. I loved the lime pickle as well. Might be my new favorite condiment.
Rating: 5 / 5
I had been to Kayalās sister restaurant in Leicester, Herb, several times and decided to try here. Itās amazing. The food is outstandingly good, freshly prepared, well presented and packed with flavour. Service is fabulous, exactly the right level of attentiveness, politeness and helpfulness. A great addition was a table magician who was excellent (I understand heās there every Thursday). This is a great restaurant. Ps Plenty of gluten free and veggie options too.
Rating: 5 / 5
Beautiful atmosphere inside the restaurant. The interior design is authentic and well planned. The restrooms were clean and kid friendly. We ordered Kayal soup (5/5 stars), pineapple Poli (5/5), chicken dosa (5/5), Kayal sadhya non-veg Thali (5/5), thenga soru (coconut rice - 4/5), appam (5/5) and Kallushap meen (fish) curry (3.5/5), gulab jamun with ice cream (5/5), fried plantain with ice cream (5/5). The waitress, Ms. Mahi was so good at interacting with the kids, spot on with the food advice /choices. Ms. Mahi has a wonderful smile, patience and humility throughout the time we stayed there. One other waiter, Mr. Aditya was very good interacting with us and the kids. He did great with his part of the work with a beautiful smile. Overall, great authentic Kerala food. We highly recommend it!
Rating: 5 / 5
Family night out and not disappointed with the service or food. If ever want to try South Indian food than this is a place to try out at least once. I thoroughly enjoyed their dry Fish and chicken for starters and also their Chicken and Fish curries for mains! We ordered Paneer / Daal Fry for too but that was too bland for me. But overall food was good and would recommend to try once.
Rating: 5 / 5
I saw a lot of amazing reviews for Kayal and have never had food from Kerala. The service and food here was amazing and I canāt wait to go back. Everything tasted fresh and the atmosphere was pleasant. The Prawn Curry was really good and different from what I typically get at an Indian restaurant.

Delicious. This is a beautifully decorated and welcoming restaurant. Service was first rate and the food was delicious. One of our party had an aversion to a specific ingredient and the staff were very accommodating. Sadly I was so busy eating I forgot to take photos of the food! I look forward to being back in the UK so I can return!
Rating: 4 / 5
Excellent service and delicious food. The owner of this restaurant used to own the fantastic Salims next door. The food is still fresh and tasty. The food was delivered hot and we had to wait just the correct length of time for it. The personnel showed a great deal of compassion, if not a bit too much at times. The interior design was invigorating. I suggest coming to this place for a flavorful Indian dinner.
Rating: 5 / 5
Loved the food, perfect amount of spice and super delicious. I would definitely recommend khazana for Indian cuisine in Loughborough/leicester. The service was 10/10!
Rating: 5 / 5
Really very impressed with Khazana. The food was absolutely superb; excellent flavours and just the right amount of spice. The Ghost was delicious and the lamb was so tender while the chilli paneer was very tasty. Service was impeccable and very friendly indeed. The restaurant was full on a Wednesday night which suggests how good this place is, which other restaurants around were almost empty. Certainly will be returning.

I booked here for my 21st birthday meal and the whole team were absolutely amazing throughout the entire night. With our booking of 18-22 people as well as the staff handling the reminder of the restaurant we were never left without or asking twice. The food was incredible and everyone was happy, it truly made my birthday stress free and i would highly recommend booking a table with this restaurant if you havenāt already . Thank you everyone again who worked tonight.

Loving setting, stunning interior for a restaurant. Our server Abdul is a wonderful waiter / staff member - he was super attentive to all the guests, knowledgeable with all the extra details about the restaurant and the menu and overall a really lovely person. He is definitely an addition to this restaurant. Food was great, it is expensive but we can see why as it was some of the best Indian food we've eaten and of course the service was outstanding so we understand the price range. Definitely recommend to family & freinds.

Food was delicious however it was abit pricy. We ordered 2 cocktails and both were made perfectly with a generous amount of alcohol. Our waiter Nikhil ensured we had a great time. Restaurant was immaculate and definitely gave it the premium vibe for every special occasion.

A beautiful setting for a peaceful, classy family dinner here at Varanasi. We arrived at 6pm as soon as they open, pre-booked the day before with deposit taken (Ā£10 per person). One improvement would be to have an online booking system- as you have to wait to be contacted back to confirm the booking which can be inconvenient. Moving onto the restaurant, the decor and setting was spectacular! The customer service and attentiveness from our waiter was spot on and the food came out quickly which we were pleased with. The starters were nice, the seekh kebab being the highlight. Nothing really stood out to be spectacular. the papri chaat flavours were lovely but the actual papri didnāt taste fresh unfortunately, some of it was crunchy, other parts of it tasted dated, soft and less fresh. For mains we had the lamb karai, it was nothing less than 5 stars- flavoursome, tasty and cooked to perfection. The naan breads were delicious too. To finish with we had the chocolate fondant cake and panna cotta dessert. The chocolate fondant flavours were pleasant but no fondant in the middle, literally the same texture throughout, tasted more like cake unfortunately. No sauce or melty middle! The panna cotta tasted okay too, it needed some texture to give it a bit more substance- even a crumble on the side would have been nice to go with it or berry compote. Overall, a lovely evening dinner. Unfortunately, very expensive for what you received, For the price tag + service charge you would expect each item to be of higher standard in terms of flavour and quality. Improvements would be, have an online booking system, papri chaat needs to be more fresh, chocolate fondant needs a melt in the middle. Looking forward to visiting again in the future hoping for a better experience!
