Visited early on a weekday evening. Restaurant was very quiet. Ordered a T-bone and a fillet steak. Found the steaks to be small in size. Around 8oz for the fillet and 13oz for the T-bone. Steaks were cold. Served with what looked like cheap frozen chips and a side salad that consisted of half a cherry tomato, half a slice of cucumber, a couple of slices of peppers and a small amount of coleslaw. At nearly £30 for each meal I thought it wasn’t great value. Wouldn’t go again.

Deceived by the pictures & 5-star review comments. (If their online presentation matched the actual quality of the restaurant, I could hqve given 2 stars.) Quite different from what we had imagined it (“Steak house”) to be (the gap between the images they present as a “Steak house” and the reality was so big, which resulted in this feeling of disappointment) I should have listened to my instinct before entering the restaurant. (You will see what I mean..) The host was super hospitable though (asking for us to give them a high review after the dinner lol). I feel guilty to write this honest review (added: not anymore)… but I don’t want anyone else to go through this same disappointing experience. Table surface was very oily. They charged 9,00 GBP service charge. The lessons learned: Being truthful and discerning truth are the abilities/quality we have to cultivate.

The worst experience ever. The images they are trying to sell on internet do not match how this restaurant is in reality, left us feeling deceived. We were turned off even more when the host asked us after the dinner to give them a good review on platforms like this. (He's been trying his best to appear very friendly throughout, which was painful to watch..)The food was below average, especially when you expected to get what you had been shown on internet. I hope they are going to correct their business attitude overall.

Service was very good! The waiter was helpful and took note of dietary requirements, I ordered the filet mignon which was very nice and cooked to perfection, plating could’ve been better but all in all was an enjoyable dinner and the mocktail was superb.

Food took ages to make even though the restaurant only had about one other customer in.Parking was only partially paid for (reduced by £2) and randomly added service fee of £12 at the end of the bill which never use to be here the last time we came.Asked for a jug of water but was declined and asked to buy overpriced still water.Steak was good but did have quite a lot of fat on it that was just not edible.Prayer room was good, food was average.

Got there around 9pm and place was empty so seating wasn't a problem and service was on point. First set of cutlery was unclean which they changed straight away. Meal came and Steak was cooked perfectly however, tge sizzler platter it was served on wasn't hot enough so onions lining it were still raw when i got to them, mash was definitely instant, and I really wish that restaurants like this would stop using bought in frozen chips ?. All in all meal was ok and we finished our plates (as we had paid for it after all) paid our bill and left, only to find a 10% service charge on the bill when we got home! If you are going to add that to the bill you need to make it clear before adding it. There was no warning anywhere and nothing was said to me before the card machine was put under my nose.

My sister recommended the place and she was going on and on about how good the food here was. And god bless her she was right. The food was great. I had dynamite chicken as a starter and it was soo good. The sirloin steak just made my night. The management and the staff were all very friendly and cheerful. I just had an amazing time with my family. Thank you for the service.

I was looking for a place to have my Christmas dinner with my friends when i stumbled upon this restaurant. It has a great friendly environment with a homely vibe. The manager and the staffs were very welcomeing and the food was exquisite. I tried crispy prawns as a starter and it was mouth watering. I highly recommend the Bao Buns with ribs. It was just great. I'm really looking forward to go back for the new year.

I was on the last leg of my 16-hour journey from Austria to Nottingham and had to wait 90 minutes in Leicester Coach station. Even though this restaurant, which was across the road, was closed for a private party and the owner was clearly very busy he offered me a table in the corner where I could recharge my laptop and enjoy a delicious chicken burger and salad. I was very grateful and appreciative of the service. The guy has got a big heart. I will come again.
Absolutely amazing. Came here for my birthday dinner, I was anxious however they didn’t disappoint. The ribeye was spectacular and the mash was stupendous. Servers were excellent and they gave a little cake to me for a treat.

Don’t be fooled by appearances. This restaurant iso. The first floor and so doesn’t have curb appeal however, the staff are gracious and welcoming. It is an alcohol free restaurant.

Have no idea how this establishment got such good reviews.Sides were good but mains were just godawfull when you take into account the high price. No depth of flavour or any natural meat tastes brought out by spices. Steak was bland and it more or less tasted like it was warmed up and then had salt and spices loaded on after cooking. Grilled chicken was dry and had a gone off taste to it. When I challenged the waiter about the food he said it was because we didn't order it on a sizzler plate which made absolutely no sense.Sides and sauces were delicious. Starters were ok but was very disappointed with my BBQ rib starter which tasted like it was boiled for 24 hours with a ton of BBQ sauce added in after. Wings were good but nothing you can get for a far lower price at Pepe's.This place is a joke. Avoid it. £90 gone down the drain. Avoid avoid avoid.
