Gelato-tastic! This place makes some great gelato.

I love gelato. Specifically, I love lemon gelato, which I had for the first time in Rome and have…read moresince also experienced in Malaga. I love the strong taste of lemon and the sharpness to the flavour that leaves nothing but joy in your mouth. As such I was excited to have the gelato here for the first time, since London Road's a lot closer to me than Rome or Malaga! Unfortunately, the gelato is really very meh. I had the fleur de lait on top and the lemon on the bottom of my £3, two scoop cone. The fleur de lait was good, and I enjoyed it, but the lemon was really very disappointing. It was far too sweet; the flavour should be far sharper than it was. It had a fairly weak taste with no real punch and it left a curious taste in my mouth. To give an example of how disappointing it was, it actually took me a couple of mouthfuls to realise that the flavour I was eating was lemon and not the fleur de lait! Ultimately, this place got me very excited, but in all honesty I don't think I'd recommend a visit.

This shop requires you to pay before ordering, so I paid £1.30 for each scoop of ice cream, ordered…read moretwo scoops. What I was served was about the size of a small egg. When the server was scooping the ice cream she hesitated to serve a decent amount and left half in the tub, like she felt that giving the equivalent of what I paid for was going to bankrupt them. I felt ripped off, as I also had to pay an extra £0.25 to use my debit card. Why couldn't she just be a decent human being and serve me a decent amount? £2.85 for less than 100ml of ice cream is ridiculous, they can call it gelato but it isn't, and even if it was I'm from Italy so I know exactly what gelato is and it doesn't cost that much. A 500ml tub of Carte D'or on the Sainsbury's up the road was just £2, and the taste was about the same, the difference is that 500ml equals 10 generous scoops, so you get the gist. Joke of a place, will never step into it again, and now it makes sense why they want you to pay before ordering, that's because they know you'd walk away after seeing the tiniest amount that they serve you.

I'm sure everything in this place is good, but my tastes in chocolate are very particular - I don't…read morelike white or milk, I like my dark very dark indeed, and smooth and unctious and rich as well, and I am allergic to a lot of nuts. So I can say this - they have the very best cocoa hot drink I have ever tasted! It's the dark chocolate style hot chocolate, and it is liquid heaven. If you like really full-on chocolate flavour, even if you don't think of yourself as a dark chocolate lover, give it a try, it may convert you.

We started off with a…read morespeciality caramel hot chocolate each and when asked if we wanted to add cream, marshmallows and chocolate sauce...well how could we resist!!!!! With the temptation of the deserts from the display cabinet we decided to indulge further by having a Belgian waffle each (or pudding waffle as my daughter calls them) covered in vanilla ice cream and chocolate sauce which went solid when it touched the cold of the ice cream. The food and drink were both really good...we couldn't manage to eat or drink it all as it was very very sickly!! But maybe that was our own fault getting carried away with our indulgence!! A big must for chocolate lovers...enjoy!!!

I went here with a mate to test the waters, so to speak, in preparation for organising a Christmas…read moremeal for the society I help run. All in all I was pleasantly surprised - not only was the food very good, but the prices are lower than the other all-you-can-eat Chinese restaurant nearby and the food, in my opinion, is nicer. The starters are roughly the same as the starters you get at other such restaurants: present and correct was the sesame prawn toast, the fried chicken wings, the crispy aromatic duck (with pancakes), the spring rolls and the dumplings. The mains, too, are fairly run-of-the-mill for such an establishment, with a range of options covering chicken, prawn, pork and the like and a range of tastes from sweet and sour to curry via black bean sauce. However, the devil is in the detail and they were all brilliantly executed (except for the lemon chicken, by which we were slightly disappointed). I was also impressed that the rice ran out much less often than you'd usually expect and I was also pleasantly startled by the availability of sushi and similar things in the buffet, which went down very well. In addition to all that, there was a teriyaki bar where you could get things cooked to order with your choice of sauce (although I was so full after sampling the extensive buffet I didn't get a chance to try it!). For pudding there were fritters available and a freezer full of tubs of proper ice cream to go with it, unlike some restaurants' desserts which are just sundaes kept ready in a huge freezer or a Mr. Whippy-style ice cream dispenser on the side with some marshmallows. I always appreciate a restaurant doing desserts that aren't just different arrangements of chocolate and icecream! All in all, I had a wonderful evening and I can't wait for round two later in the semester.

It's based downstairs so look carefully so you don't miss the entrance, which sports a (recently beheaded) terracotta warrior. It's clean and light, although the tables are as characteristically crowded as all these places are in Leicester. Wide choice of food, although finding the rice can be a bit challenging for some reason, however, as I say, especially at lunch go to the place on High Street - it's half the price for the same quality and service.

We visited this…read moreplace religiously for years and I still crave the signature dish (chilli paneer, £5-7) now and then. Many people aren't aware of Indo-Chinese cuisine but it is an Indian adaptation of Chinese food (immensely popular with vegetarians and non-vegetarians alike) so you'll often see dishes prefixed with chilli, schezwan or stir fried. Despite trying much of the menu here the chilli paneer, aubergine stir fry and salt and pepper mushrooms remain firm favourites (sorry Indigos I know the crispy bhajia and veg manchurian are popular but I still think my mum makes these better). If you're in Leicester and fancy some heat, pop over to Indigos to get your fix.

We had a wonderful meal last December, we had £52.85 left on the gift card. My father tried to call again last week to book another table for 13th December, hoping to use to remainder of the gift card to use towards the next table and was told the gift card expires after one year. He offered to use the gift card towards pre-paying for the entire meal, and was told this wasn't possible. For the sake of 12 days, my family will not be revisiting. My family travel hours from the South East to visit this restaurant, we have left generous gratuities over the years and to be told on the phone that our gift card will not be honoured less than 2 weeks after its expiry tells me that this company is.... I would avoid this restaurant if you value loyalty and expect the customer service which this company prides itself on. 1 out of 5 stars, we will never be returning over this. You have lost a valuable customer who, despite having a major physical disability, was extremely excited to travel 160 miles to enjoy a meal here again.

This experience was a mixed bag. Restaurant is really pretty. It comes off fairly fancy and a…read morelittle pretentious. There is a whole lemon on every table. I asked a server about it and she didn't know why they do that; she said maybe it is an Italian thing. We had three servers and it wasn't clear if there was a main one. We ordered drinks from a girl. I ordered a glass of Cabernet and my husband ordered double expresso. She could not understand my order (even after I said it a few times and even said Cabernet red wine), maybe I have an American accent. The male server came over and asked if I wanted Chardonnay, so I had to clarify. The wine and expresso were fine though. The pitcher of tap water comes with lemon in it and my husband prefers water with no lemon. We ordered the focaccia to start. It is on their pizza bread with olive oil and herbs. The crust is good, but it was way too salty for me. For dinner, I had Rigatoni alla Norma, which was very good with fresh tomatoes, eggplant, cheese, etc. The portion is small, but enough for me. I really enjoyed this dish. My husband ordered the chicken special, which was a flattened, breaded chicken with three roasted tomatoes, lemon and thyme on the side. You had to use the tomato, lemon and thyme on the chicken to provide flavor and moisture for the chicken. It was good all together. It was clear that it was expected to order a side item with the chicken, so he opted for mixed vegetables. I didn't realize this is a chain and wouldn't have chosen a chain. However, we enjoyed our meal.
