The Best Restaurants in Leicestershire, United Kingdom (2025)

Top food in Loughborough! Food was faultless. The Rucola pizza was lovely and can’t 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 couldn’t 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.

The food is delicious here, had the pizza and it was very yummy. Service is so nice and friendly. I came on my own as I was in loughborough for work and they made me feel very welcome Really cosy atmosphere. Will definitely be back!

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!

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.

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 haven’t already . Thank you everyone again who worked tonight.

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.

Really lovely little place. The food was absolutely delicious 😋 and very reasonably priced. Will definitely be back.

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.

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

Recently are here with friends. While we had a little difficulty ordering our food when it arrived it was delicious. There’s plenty of options so should be enough for everyone. The mains don’t 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 £40 each so on the dearer side for Loughborough. We would consider eating here again though.

Presentation of the dishes 10/10, they look so delicious. Unfortunately, Jajangmyeon, not to my taste, I felt like something was missing. It was too bland for me. The other dish was tasty. I will come back to try something else and give this place 2nd chance.

Went on a Friday lunch time, have been wanting to go for a while, but so glad I did go! It was an incredible experience, being my first time having Korean BBQ I’’m glad this place was my first experience. The staff were extremely polite and helpful, I told them it was my first time trying this and they were very helpful telling me what each part was for and what to do. The food tasted incredible. We had the beef bulgogi and some salt and pepper chicken which was fried chicken and there was more than enough for both my girlfriend and I. The style of the restaurant was a mix of modern and authentic, was very clean too. A big thank you to May and Choi for the service we will definitely be coming back soon!

The most incredible meal here tonight. Service was outstanding, everyone was so friendly and welcoming, they couldn't do enough to help. The food was 10/10 out of this world good, I especially recommend the beef short rib which was marinated in the most delicious sauce. We also had bibimbap rice which would make a stunning meal on its own but paired with the meat was perfect. The deserts were the perfect end to an incredible experience!! Thank you and will hopefully see you again soon.

Great dinner in Koja Restaurant with friends here :D If you wish to have an authentic Korean food, Koja is defo your choice. Kimchi pancake is a must-order one!

A nice place for a good meal in what I often call the artistic (prettier) part of the town. Marple & 5 spice duck breast was simply delicious with a bouquet of aromatic spices. Lots of space inside, pleasing interior decorations and, most importantly, good service.

We recently went for a family meal and the food was sooooo delicious and the portions were a good size for the price. The atmosphere was lovely and the owner was very chatty and friendly. He helped us out with recommendations and made the whole experience an even better one. We would all definitely recommend and will be returning very soon. This will definitely become our go to restaurant in Loughborough

Lovely restaurant will definitely be going again. The staff and owner were lovely making sure we got the best service. The food was fresh and amazing and made me feel like I was in Italy having dinner. I have already recommended this restaurant to my friends and family. The food portions were definitely worth the price. I absolutely loved it!

I've been living in the town centre since 2017 but I haven't been to dine here at Caravelli Restaurant which is just round the corner. My mate from London decided to visit Loughborough and he's staying overnight with me so I thought this would be my opportunity to finally have dinner at Caravelli. The atmosphere was peaceful and quiet. I enjoyed their pasta PAPPARDELLE CON SALSICCIA. It was very tasty. I also like the old fashioned interior design of their restaurant. The waiters were very friendly and attentive to their customers. Overall the food was tasty and delicious. I definitely go back here again with other mates.

We always have our dinner here for special occasions. Love their menu specifically their lobsters menu and Taglionni. Friendly waiters. I couldn't recommend this restaurant enough. I recently came back here to have dinner with my mate still have the best dishes in town. I also recommended this to work colleagues and they have had great birthday celebrations here.

I had the linguine marinara, pasta with sun dried tomatoes, king prawns and mussels, in a rich tomato sauce and my husband got the penne arrabbiata. The seafood in the linguine was nice and a good amount of it, though i did have to add some salt to my own personal taste as it was slightly bland for me but the optional cheese on top really brought out the flavours, i was also offered black pepper but said no so maybe that would have made it even better for me. Next time ill do that. The portion size was good and the bread was delicious. 👌🏾 The penne arrabbiata was very nice and had a lovely amount of spice and flavour to it. The resturant was quiet at around 5:30 when we came, but the waiter was very welcoming and attentive The price was reasonable and we both enjoyed the meal. Would return!

Possibly the most delicious Italian meal I have had this year. I had the linguine with prawns and asparagus, they were both well cooked and generous, two of my favourite things in one dish 🧡

I think I've just had the best home made steak pie in my life! packed with meat, amazing pastry and piping hot. My friends Fish and chips also amazing. I'm not one for taking photos of my dinner plate. I'd rather just get on and eat it. But I had to shout out about this one. Amazing Desserts too. Proper food 😋

Lovely friendly staff always a bonus…. Food well didn’t have to wait forever very tasty delicious definitely coming back to try something else of the menu

Saturday love music is always brilliant however it gets very busy and rightfully so. Staff are very friendly. Beer is reasonably priced for today's market yet because its so easy to strike a conversation with such a social enviroment it's easy to have a few more than you expected to.

Never left a review before but went here for a darts game, very friendly staff, everyone in the pub was friendly, busy, good atmosphere, food was amazing and was loads of it

Felt like I was back in Thailand. Everything was so good, freshly cooked, amazing quality. So so yummy. I started to lose faith in Loughborough having had a few disappointing meals out, but wows did this not disappoint. Everything was so tasty! It was such a struggle to choose from the menu as they had so many lovely options. I can’t wait to go back. The portions were great, the food was great. If you want Thai food, go here, don’t even consider somewhere else unless you’re planning a trip to Thailand. We had satay chicken, prawn cakes, ho fun noodle with seafood and chilli fish with rice. I’m getting hungry writing this, is it too soon to go back? Never too soon with this place.

Absolute hidden gem! It’s so humble on the outside, but the food and the flavours are so good! It was so hard to decide what to get, because there’s so many delicious options. We started with the Tom Yum (a personal fav that was the most flavourful I’ve ever had, not too spicy and with juicy chicken) and fried prawns. Noodles soups for main, both with generous portions, wonderful broth once again and packed full of toppings. The pink milk drink was delightful too, sweet and moreish - just wish we’d noticed the mango sticky rice on the specials board for dessert, what a treat that would’ve been and no doubt as delicious as the rest. The service was smiley and very kind, quick and charming. Very lovely indeed! Will very much be back!

The food here was fantastic. The portion sizes were so generous and everything was full of flavour. The vegetable spring rolls and prawn tempuras were perfectly crisp and light. The ingredients were clearly fresh and well prepared, we thoroughly enjoyed both starters. For the main course we selected pad Thai and red curry, both were delicious and despite the mammoth portions we couldn’t help but to clear our plates! The Pad Thai came with a small pot of spices which really elevated the dish, it brought a warming heat and welcomed further layers of flavour. Our only complaint would be the service, we were poorly attended to. After some minutes of sitting at our empty table I had to collect our own menus and request that our order be taken. Furthermore, our starter dishes were not cleared until the main courses were being served. The servers never once checked on us during the meal which was rather disappointing. Overall, we would certainly come here again. There was no denying the food was gorgeous, hopefully next time the service will live up to the quality of the dishes.

Nice atmosphere; staff seemed a little slow to take initial drinks order - so we placed our food order at the same time, just in case we didn't see them again! - but it was very busy, considering it was a mid-week lunch. Lovely food, my only complaint being that there were too many yummy-looking dishes!

A few great vegan options - Corn Riblets - Lentil & Squash wellington pie - House Salad - Onion rings & Chips - Sorbet

I had a wonderful time here. I started off with fish and chips which was absolutely amazing. Could clearly tell it was fresh and the batter was crispy but not oily. The chips were also fluffy on the inside and crispy on the outside. Best fish and chips I have had in a long time! I then had the apple and cinnamon crumble which was so nice. The custard that came with it as well was lovely and warm and was amazing with the crumble. Was such a warm and cosy meal. The service is top notch too! Staff are lovely and food comes out fairly quick. Would definitely come back here again!

We were told about this Pub and heard good things and it did not disappoint the food was great. The atmosphere was nice. Service was good really enjoyed the variety of starters and the selection of drinks on offer. Highly recommend this place will definitely visit again. Really enjoyed the food And the staff were great with the kids providing colouring books and pencils.
