I'm looking for a good quiet restaurant in Nottingham, not necessarily expensive.

I'm considering the Curry Lounge.

Does anyone have any recommendations?

Thanks

Higoi is really good if you're not in a big group.

Thewy sent Dubai and myself to Chino Latino which was pretty nice.

http://www.thesoulvillesteakhouse.com/                   excellent steaks

This is my favourite place, not too expensive either, good place to take a bird or go with a group of friends.

Curry Lounge is terrible as is Chico Latino.

If you want posh Curry go to Memsaab, also avoid 4550 Miles to Delhi
If you want proper curry go to Noor Jahan ;)

Other notable restaurants.

Iberico Tapas
World Service
Hart's
The Larder On Goosegate
Merchants
Amarone
Sat Bains
Opium

tytyty these are golden, will look them all up

'Tis excellent.

gala casino do nice steaks

Is world service reasonably priced?

I heard they only did micro steaks?

Depends what you class as reasonable.

I would say so.

Just over £100 including a bottle of wine?

Have a look

when i went its was a nice size. maybe not american size but it was enough to fill u up

Lol that one fully went over your head

what do you mean then?

I disagree young sir.

This.

It really is good.

menu  doesnt look too good

not much nigiri selection.
what sashimi do they do?
dont even have katsu curry

The sashimi and sushi was excellent.  Decent selection. 

Good Japanese restaurants don't do katsu curry - that's pretty much fast food.

IIRC the sashimi is based on what they can get fresh that's good so the menu doesn't list much.

theres a belting chinese buffet up here in newcastle, dunno if youve ever been??

lol!

Been here a few times Woodsey and it's really good. I think before 7 they do a theatre deal too which is like £10 for 3 courses.

Wagamama

THOUGHT  katsu curry is a pretty standard dish.

like sweet and sour for the chinese

This if Steaks are your thing

A lot of good sushi places still do it mate.

Yeh this is class

Only my opinion good sir.
Been twice and was equally disappointed both times.
Food could easily be M&S ready meals.

+1 on Higoi and Memsaab. Both excellent.

Last time I was in Memsaab was for a 40th birthday party. Some relative of the owner was also celebrating his 40th in there and ended up buying our table 2 bottles of brandy, and insisted on pouring it into any available empty glass. Was entertaining :). Superb curries.

Ok here are the places to eat IMHO not from tripadvisor but places I go

Tom Browns @ Gunthorpe
Iberico world Tapa's From the World Service
Chino Latino for 4 Plus people
Memsaab or 4450 from Dheli
Out of town wagon and horses @ Halam nr Southwell
World Service
Perkins @ Plumtree ( Nr that dodgy Nursery)

i knew you were going to say that.

but it is brill.

hopefuly we'll go back there soon bud...

For Curry it's Mogul-E-Azam (behind the theatre) all day long, owned by former Notts Gala regular Mozam and his brother.

The Akbari Tikka is possibly the nicest curry dish I've ever tasted outside of my family's cooking.

Like going to a good Chinese restaurant and ordering sweet and sour chicken balls.

Will have to try those out, starting with MemSaab I think... :)up

My parents are that side of Nottingham and Tom Browns is usually good - A favourite of Sven's.
Waggon and Horses is good and near some golf courses i believe. It always seems to appear in the middle of nowhere though, or i get lost on the way there every time.
I love MemSaab and i thought 4550 miles to Delhi was good but i haven't been there for a while.
Curry Lounge is nothing to shout about and service isn't great.

BUMP.

Heading to Notts next month on a Saturday night and need a restaurant for a birthday event.

Rather than make a new thread thought I'd regenerate one of these - and ask where would be best? Just the two of us.

Iberico

Need to book now though for prime time Saturday

Dont take a bar seat and be on the lower floor

Black Miso Cod
Onglet Beef
Chicken Wings X2
Prawns X2
Stuffed Peppers
Iberico Ham

Sancerre  

My normal choices above all very good imho!

Zaap Thai is pretty good. Good food and the place is done out like a Thai street food market and prices are fair, the only downside is you can't book and just need to turn up and wait, if your happy waiting 30 mins with a beer then it's fine.

Quite like red dog saloon for a burger.

Petit Paris always a good option for French/European food.

If you like curry I can't possibly recommend 'The Calcutta Club' highly enough.

If you don't like curry then I can't possibly recommend anything at all.

Annie's is a burger place that is very very good, plus there's a bar below that serves all sorts of great drinks and has mario kart and other games.

Only heard good things about Iberico but not been

Zaap - really Woodsey, i respect you as an authority on all things Thai, I know it is nicely done out inside but I thought the food and service was shite

Red Dog Saloon - http://www.nottinghampost.com/red-dog-saloon-given-one-star-food-hygiene-rating/story-29973001-detail/story.html

Petit Paris is always good 

Calcutta is by far the best curry, cant believe i have never bumped into you there Evil'Tikka'Pie

Annies - so overhyped, always serving cold average burgers



I would add

Oaks for Steak, Cocktails, Live Music
Reds over all the smoke house style places
Mandarin for an out the way Chinese where Chinese people eat
Baresca if you cant get in at Iberico
Picollino if you want overpriced but nice Italian

Lol Mogul-E-Azam

I know quite a few Thais in Nottingham and it's the only place they will eat mate, albeit they are probably choosing different things from the menu than probably you or I would eat....

Will have a look at all these. Already had Calcutta Club and Petit Paris on the list.

Cheers for recommendations all :)

Since when do you need to bump into Matt to have a curry together?

Disappointed Stu! How whipped are you!?

Booked the Calcutta Club. Will report back.

We're down the road in Derby. Not much here, although we don't go out much.

Definitely want to go to Reds in Notts. Interested to still how this thread goes

A guy in my team where i used to work writes his own Nottingham food blog. Its 100% independent. He gets offered free dinners all the time in turn for favourable reviews but always pays his way to keep it unbiased.

Absolutely amazing. Portion sizes were spot on and the food was some of the best my unrefined palate has ever eaten.

If you get the chance, go.
