Above all, the cuisine was of the highest quality, and the standards of hygiene were perfect. It was evident from every taste that the kitchen staff takes tremendous pride in their work. The presentation was stunning, and the flavours were well balanced. You'll be happy with the meal options here whether you're a food fanatic or have a picky pallet. The atmosphere in "What a Shot" is also worth mentioning. The restaurant has a warm vibe that makes it ideal for both big parties and private dining. An inviting and soothing atmosphere is produced by the furnishings, lighting, and music selection.

I very rarely write reviews but I felt compelled as the service given by Alex was and is exceptional, he is an absolute asset to the establishment. I had a private party at the venue and Alex went absolutely above and beyond to making my family and I have the most memorable time. Alex wasn’t phased by having to speak to multiple people that were organising the event, any requests made he would make sure they were dealt with, he made everything feel so effortless and enjoyable. On the day he made sure everything went smoothly, made sure he gave us the best options and made suggestions that would be best for ourselves and our guests. Even a month on I felt I could contact Alex in regards to my event and still he goes above and beyond to help in anyway. It was such a joy having Alex part of my celebrations, he is so kind, considerate and respectful. Just an absolute pleasure to work with, fun easy to get along with guy. I honestly don’t think the experience would have been this exceptional if Alex hadn’t been part of the planning and execution. In regards to the venue, it is stunning and i’m so glad I celebrated such a milestone here. My guests had nothing but amazing things to say from the food to the venue and atmosphere. The food was out of this world as you can tell my experience was amazing and hope to celebrate any special milestones here again. (With the help of Alex of course) Thank you

had the pleasure of dining at this marvellous restaurant during my recent visit to Leicester for shopping, and it was an experience to remember! As someone living in Wales, I was introduced to this gem by a friend, and it truly exceeded my expectations. The staff were incredibly welcoming, making me feel right at home from the moment I walked in. The food was absolutely amazing—flavourful, fresh, and satisfying. The atmosphere was vibrant and lively, with so much to enjoy beyond just dining. The big screen added a cinema-like experience, while the pool table, artificial cricket pitches, and football pitches brought a unique and fun touch to the place. It’s not just a restaurant but a destination where you can relax and enjoy yourself in a dynamic environment. The only small suggestion I have is to add buttermilk or lassi to the menu—it would be a great addition to the already fantastic offerings. Overall, it was a lovely experience, and I would highly recommend this spot to anyone visiting Leicester. I can’t wait to return!"
