He was right on with his suggestions. Some like heat some not. Some are vegetarians some not. Everyone was pleased with their choices and even tried each others and this led to them appreciating what they ordered as well as the flavors of other items. If you're not well versed in Indian food, this is the place to try. You will not be disappointed !!! It was excellent for a large group, but I'm confident it would serve well any size dining party. Very much recommend this establishment!

Very nice addition to the Highcross and the best burger I've had in Leicester. At £7-£10 for the…read moreburgers and £4.25 for the milkshakes it's also cheaper than a lot of the alternatives. We went on the opening night with the Burger Club free burger offer, so that may have biased me a little bit, but I loved it. The decor is minimalist but kinda fun, and despite the high ceilings the place is not as loud as you would expect. The burger meat was good and more importantly, it was cooked just how I ordered it (medium rare). I had the Byron, which comes with streaky American bacon, among the most authentic I've had since coming to the UK. I also recommend the Chilli burger if you like hot food, it's served with sliced green chillies and a chipotle sauce, and was very tasty. The onion rings were a bit greasy to my taste but the skin on chips were very good, as were the appetizer tortilla chips (a nice change from the Doritos everywhere else seems to serve) and the guacamole and salsa were both nice and fresh. The only other appetizer available beside the tortilla chips is olives, which are nice enough but oddly out of place. They serve A&W root beer, which while not my top choice in the US is still nicer than many. My boyfriend got the Oreo shake, which was nice and thick and very good as well. The brownie was very good and served warm with vanilla ice cream on top and the white chocolate cheesecake was also tasty, creamy and not nearly as sweet as cheesecakes have a tendency to be.

Zomgomgomg! Proper burgers have escaped London and are heading north!…read more Having been to Byron in both Bloomsbury and Covent garden on several occasions, I knew what to expect and was pleased to see that Byron has made the journey north without losing any of its quality and variety. This is a very welcome addition to Leicester Highcross, and is right next door to John Lewis for maximum accessibility. I love the rough-hewn, rustic, warehouse industrial-style decor with it's exposed AC ducting and wooden beams. The staff appear to be quick and efficient on first impressions, but do double-check your order as it can be quite noisy and you wouldn't want to be delivered a Peroni when you asked for a Dead Pony! There's a good variety of drinks including a really sour fresh lemonade and decent milkshakes. Beers and bourbons are well represented and there are several very nice craft beers of varying styles. And the food? Yes. Have it! Come! It's very, very good. But still quite a large portion. You do not need fries each as one just stretches between two. But you should skip the normal fries and try the courgette fries - they're very nice! Burgers are lovely sweet, juicy patties of quality meat. But please, don't spoil them by having them well done? A good burger should be cooked medium or ideally med-rare. Just ask for how you like it, they will do it. A look out for that juicy dill pickle too! Super tangy and crunchy, just how they should be. I can't fault this place after my first visit.

We came across this online and said 'why not try it' The setting was very Italian and cosy. I like the fire we were sat beside even though it wasn't lit. The table decoration was very Italian and the seats and tables a nice and chunky wooden rustic style. The waitress was in good form and helpful explaining the menu to us. Tapas style Italian dishes. We got bottled water and bread, oils and balsamic while deciding what else to get. The bread and oils are one of my favorite ways to start a meal. They were yum. Really fresh and full of flavor. We got 6 tapas between us. Plenty for 2. I was stuffed by the end. We got stuffed roasted peppers with cheese, Pepperoni pizza, fried potatoes with red pesto dip and aoili, meatballs, Salmon pasta and creamy mushroom bruscetta. All were very tasty with very good portion sizes. Some i'd get again some I'd change. The price was decent ranging between 3.50-5 pounds each. Our bill totalled £32 the water was over £3 of this alone and we both felt 5 dishes would have been enough. Worth a trip. I love tapas, they're a great way to try a little of everything. Will definitely be a local favorite.

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.
