Anyway once seated we were just in time for happy hour cocktails (2 for £12). I shared a classic margarita which was very well executed. The food had a nice variety, I really wanted a starter but wanted room for churros later. For mains we had chicken moules (chocolate sauce) tilapia in Chipotle , steak with prawns and fajitas. Everything came with rice (suspected microwave rice?) And a good amount of guacamole, beans and veg with the fajitas. Prior to the food arriving the manager let us all Try the moules sauce in case we didn't like it and pretended to blow his brains out when my wine was forgotten.. the steak was cooked perfectly and my tilapia Everyone seemed to enjoy. As for desserts I ended up having a cherry chocolate concoction it was absolutely gorgeous and my partner had the churros. Overall I really enjoyed the food and the service was fun. Just wasn't sure about the rice !

    This is a new place in Market Harborough - opened about 3 months ago and is run by the same guy who…read moreowns the very successful Mexican restaurant on the square in Market Harborough. I went to Toro Latino for the first time last night for a friend's birthday meal, we were a group of 7 and it proved an excellent choice of venue. It was my first experience of tapas - and for those not in the know - the basic premise is that you choose a variety of small dishes which everyone then shares. It worked well for our group. The restaurant is cosy - ie quite small but with a vibrant and friendly atmosphere and the food is excellent. On a saturday night night they have 2 sittings. The first from about 7 until 8.45 and the second from 8.45 until closing (we left at around 10.45). On arrival we have to grab another chair as there was still a couple of diners from the previous sitting still chatting at one of the tables reserved for us. It was a bit selfish of them, and I don't blame the restaurant. Anyway they left about 10 minutes later. We received the menus promptly but then had to wait a while before we were asked about drinks. A restaurant should attend to this as soon as you sit down in my opinion. The menu is excellent - plenty of seafood, plenty of meat dishes and plenty of vegetarian dishes. Could maybe add a couple more desserts on there though. The wine list is good - we had 4 bottles of rioja between us at an affordable £12.50 per bottle. We stared with 3 salads, a paella and a meat and cheese board between 7 - and straight away I was impressed with the stanard of fayre on offer. Quality chorizo and serrano ham, and a delicious cheese containing orange peel were some highlights, although I felt there could have been more prawns and chicken in the paella. I love food, and it was a really fun experience when the main dishes arrived. We were passing the dishes between us and trying a little of everything. The mussels were good, the anchovies and the tiger prawns were delicous (and complemented so well by the rioja). The steak enchilladas and the new potatoes were really spicy and the stuffed jalapenos mouthwatering. Between the 7 of us we ordered about 16 dishes, probably 2 or 3 too many in all honesty. So I'd recommend 2 dishes per person. We still had plenty salad and such left from the starters to go with the mains. we were all stuffed after the meal, although I did manage to squeeze in a slice of cheesecake. ;) delicious. We paid £25 each - including a tip. And that got us a table crammed with delicious and exciting foods and plenty to drink (4 bottles decent red between the 5 of us who were drinking). I'd definitely recommend Toro Latino as an excellent restaurant with quality food, and as a really fun eating experience - especially for a medium to large sized group. I'll definitely go there again. =)

    Great tapas variety, good service, nice atmosphere generally a nice place to visit for dinner…read more Staff were happy to customise a couple of dishes for us (e.g. no mayo on the mozerella sticks!). Would benefit from ice in the buckets for the Corona, but the frozen Margaritas were quite yummy! You need to book a table, as its a popular place.

    Came in with the wife, for a relatively late night dinner at 9:30, since they are open till 10:30…read more Big mistake. Ordered lamb tikka masala and saag paneer. No joke : the lamb was almost inedible - it had sat so long in a heated pot and was so overcooked that it was almost impossible to cut, even with a knife. My wife spit out gristle then immediately went for her water. The "masala" tasted and looked like it was just sweetened tomato puree from a can. Disgusting. Saag paneer had uncooked onions though out and almost no taste. This place was complete opposite of a place in enderby called Aspects, which had awesome food. Beware! The one star is for the naan bread.

    The last time I ate at The Shagorika was possibly the worst restaurant experience I've had. I…read morecouldn't believe it, because this place used to be the premiere curry house in and around Market Harborough! It was a Sunday afternoon and I was hungry and slightly hungover. A mate and me decided we'd have a curry to make us feel better, as we were starving. We decided on the Shagorika as we hadn't been there in a while and we walked in. We were shown to a table by a guy in jeans and a jumper. I noticed a child asleep at one of the tables further into the restaurant. We were fetched menus and drinks and then the waiter went outside to clean the windows After a while he came back and took our order and ran off to the kitchen. I put my jacket on because the restaurant was so cold. When my food arrived they had forgotten the onion bhajees that I specifically advised I wanted with the main meal not as a starter. They said I could re-order them and they would take a few minutes to cook. I declined. The curry was disgusting. Bland as hell although they said it was medium strength it was a greasy, greasy, greasy concoction of mushrooms, various meats, and boiled egg. It was also lukewarm. I should have sent it back, but I was starved. I ate about half of it before giving up. I'd never seen a plate of food with so much oil and grease. Thinking about it now makes me nauseas. Once we'd finished I got the waiter's attention (not sure what he was doing as the place was empty apart from us) got the bill, paid and left. No hot towels, no how was your meal?, nothing. Also it was quite expensive. I'll never be going back there and instead have found the Moment of India restaurant to serve delicious Indian food and now frequent that establishment as well as Babe Blooz.

Inside on Sunday lunchtime, the place was buzzing but a table was soon found for us. There's no draft beer, so we ordered Peroni and a bottle of Argentinean Malbec. The food order was taken promptly by a friendly young waitress. The starters of pâté and toast and calamari were both good and the roast topside of beef was splendid. This a lively place, well-patronised by families and deservedly so.

    I thought I'd better share this review after my recent visit to the Waterfront Restaurant in Market…read moreHarborough after my marathon 3 hour sitting! The Waterfront is almost totally free of taste or character and, as described by my brother in law, the main restaurant area is one up from a school canteen. The tables were arranged in a specially designed liner pattern; the waiters appeared to be also specially trained in deliberately bumping into all of the guests! This started off being a comedy moment but after the seventh occasion I realised this wasn't so funny, and was starting to get some sort of repetitive injury. I changed tables to one closer to the waiter behind the bar who was posing as an undertaker. The dining experience started after over an hour (and two complaints) when my food finally arrived. Other people were clearly waiting longer than our party and I could hear the grumblings of a lynch mob forming. My authentic Eastern European waiter professionally tried to diffuse the situation by saying, you want more bread then? My starter arrived which can only be described as a watery crayfish cocktail; it had been clearly defrosted during the monumental delay. There was a good pool of what I can only describe as fridge water left in the bowl at the bottom. To be fair and give a balanced review the main course was as described; rib eye steak which was tender and well cooked, although I may have been choking on the price. The accompanying bowl of boiled unseasoned vegetables was ok but rather insipid and the McDonalds-style fries were equally as described (although obviously they didn't have the packaging). The crowning glory of the service was the surprising edition of a gravy thumb print in side one of our bowls of food from presumably the waiter; I'm really hoping it was gravy. To finish my sweet was fine and as described, however one of my group ordered the cheese board, which I hate to say was misleading, there were four thumb sized style pieces of cheese and four biscuits to be accurate. Overall I was disappointed with the whole dining experience mainly over the expectation of the price versus food quality and service. The restaurant isn't cheap, in fact it's one of the most expensive in the area so for the price (and joking aside) I expected more than this. It seems that the owner, the chef and I have lost interest.

    The McDonald's of Italian eateries…read more Zizzi has a nice location at the top end of Market Harborough; just away from the town centre. The restaurant is well presented to the potential patron - with 2 small potted trees flanking the entrance. Inside we are greeted by a waiting area, and some steps to the larger eating space. There are also more tables around the corner, leading to a conservatory (open only at weekends). The kitchen is open - and you can view your meals being cooked if you want to. I didn't see a microwave though which was odd considering the low quality of some of the food. I've eaten at Zizzi quite a few times - always at lunch - with work colleagues, and very often the place reminds me of a high quality creche - with upper class mums and screeching children making for a rather annoying atmosphere. Furthermore the poor quality of the tasteless, stodgy pasta always makes me grimace. Recently I had calamari - at £10.00 for a main course. The fried squid was nice, although there was very little of it, and I was still hungry when I left. Generally the food is not of a high standard, although I can recommend the Calzone Carne Piccante - a calzone with green chilli, mushrooms, tomator sauce, chicken and beef. It's tasty and huge. If you want a decent Italian meal in Market Harborough I would recommend Prego on St Mary's Road, and I would advise to avoid Zizzi. Service and surroundings at Zizzi are both fine, but the food really isn't a high quality.
