“City Restaurant on Redford Road is my absolute haven, a culinary oasis that I find myself drawn to three times a week – and for good reason! The star of the show is undeniably their whole chicken, a masterpiece of juiciness that keeps me coming back for more. Paired with the delightful combination of white and yellow rice and the unique touch of kozi, it's a symphony of flavors that leaves my taste buds in pure bliss. As I step through the doors, I'm always struck by the beauty and cleanliness that defines the interior. It's not just a restaurant; it's an experience. The attention to detail in creating an inviting atmosphere adds to the overall charm. Now, let's talk about their customer service – truly a shining gem. The staff is not only friendly but also incredibly helpful. They make each visit feel like a warm reunion, and their welcoming lentil soup is the perfect embodiment of their hospitality. And then there are the chickpeas and beans – a savory delight that never fails to impress. I haven't dared to try the fish yet, but if it's anything like the rest of the menu, I'm sure it's exceptional. City Restaurant has become a staple in my weekly routine, and I can't help but give it a well-deserved five-star review. The combination of outstanding food, a clean and beautiful setting, and customer service that goes above and beyond makes it an absolute standout. If you haven't tried it yet, you're missing out on a true culinary adventure!”

“The food was very tasty and fresh. The portion was quite large that I had to take some home, which I loved. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone who likes delicious and well-seasoned meals. The staff were friendly, the environment was lovely, the food was delicious with a good variety on the menu and it was quite affordable.”

“Second time here. Food is tasty, staff are really attentive and friendly. Would recommend to others. Slightly pricier than other Turkish restaurants in the area Ordered the platter, awarded 4* as I think they were a little stingy on the meats.”

“Went down in a big group I'd say about 20 of us. Nice decor. Nice food. Just about right.”

“Food is really good, very good portion sizes and free complimentary bread and starters. Staff are professional and accomodating.”

“The food is always incredible. Cooked fresh, seasoned well, good portion sizes and amazing taste and flavour. Not only that, the service is always excellent. 100% recommend.”

“Lovely food and great service as always. We’ve been in here lots of times and have never been disappointed. Erhan is very attentive and friendly. Definitely recommend!”

“What a find…. Such a lovely place. Staff very welcoming and friendly. Popped in for a coffee with a friend, very relaxed vibe. We just had coffee today but my friend assures me food is always good. I am definitely returning to check this out”

“The first time that I have been here. Excellent food that tasted wonderful! There were subtle flavours which were delicious. Being Persian cuisine such flavours are not common to our tastebuds, so an excellent experience! Being based on tapas your dishes arrive over a time period allowing you to graze as they are presented. I will return!!”

“It was a fantastic meal I would definitely go again and I was served by an amazing waitress called mar she was fabulous very attentive she did a great job”

“Great staff. That offered free soup witch was good, kebabs where astonishing. With tea I highly recommend you to come here if you wan t quality food or a taste of the middle east.”

“The tawa is good value and everything was tasty, I only mark them down on the atmosphere because the store was freezing cold at the time.”

“Really decent falafel at a decent price. I one here whenever in Nottingham.”

“One of the best restaurants I have been in the UK. Both the food and the service were excellent. Very friendly staff and tasty meals in a reasonable price. Highly recommended.”

“If you're looking for a delightful dining experience, Victoria Shawarma Dine Inn is the place to be! The atmosphere is warm and inviting, making it perfect for a casual meal or a special gathering. The mix grill and roasted chicken is absolutely delicious, bursting with flavor and perfectly cooked. Each bite is a testament to the quality of the ingredients and the skill in preparation. I must also take a moment to praise Miss Sana for her exceptional service. She is attentive, friendly, and goes above and beyond to ensure that every guest feels welcomed and satisfied. Her recommendations are spot on, and she truly enhances the overall dining experience. If you haven't been yet, make sure to visit Victoria Shawarma Dine Inn and enjoy the fantastic food and wonderful service!”

“Great tasting food, big portions and excellent value for money. I got the Rotana special thinking its for 2 ppl but can easily be enough for three. My favourite was the grilled lamb. Chicken wss really food. Salads, soup as starters are complimentary. Will definitely visit again”

“Excellent food. We ordered three different types of kabob between us (koobideh, jujeh, and barg) and they were all the exceptional. More people should know about Persian food, and Kabob, and this is a great place to try it! Thank you.”

“Among the best falafel I've ever eaten (ordered the Palestinian platter). Crispy on the outside and great herbs/seasoning. The exact opposite of the dry and sandy falafel many places sell. Bread, pickles, tahini sauce and lentil soup also very good quality. 10/10”

“First time here, I felt compelled to write a review still seated at the table because it was so good. The food, decor, ambience, friendliness, music, everything is amazing. My partner and I will be back with our friends in tow!!”

“We ordered Platter for 4 people, and it was absolutely fantastic! The portions were generous, the presentation was beautiful, and every single item tasted fresh and full of authentic flavour. The mix of kebabs, curries, rice, roti, naan, and sides made it a perfect meal to share. The spices were perfectly balanced — rich, aromatic, and comforting without being overwhelming. The meats were tender and well-marinated, and the biryani had that classic, irresistible Pakistani aroma. The naan was soft and fresh, and the chutneys added the perfect finishing touch. This platter is great value for money and ideal for families or groups. We all loved it and will definitely be ordering again. Highly recommended!”

“Nice curry and Tandoori Roti, can't beat it”

“We chose Nonsuch Kitchen to cater for our wedding in August 2022. They are seriously the loveliest people ever - they made the whole process so easy, and it was genuinely delightful to work with them. All we knew was that we wanted pie and mash for our wedding, and they REALLY delivered. The entire meal was mouthwateringly amazing, from the pie (best pie I've ever had), to the creamiest mash - even the veg was incredible. The portions were incredibly generous too - which is something you don't often get at a wedding. We've had so many compliments from our guests who have said it was the best wedding food they've ever had. They invited us for a tasting beforehand, and we got to choose from so many incredible types of pie (one of the best tasks I've ever had). If you're looking for a sign to choose Nonsuch Kitchen as your wedding caterer - THIS IS YOUR SIGN.”

“Good job with the refurb. Food as good as it was previously. Service was fast although slightly rushed but all in all excellent experience.”

“Fantastic place, the food is fresh, home made and flavourful. The lovely lady who served us made us feel very welcome. Some things might be out of stock but they’ll always make you something like it, which to me is the sign of a good kitchen. The prices for the amount of food you get are VERY agreeable Can’t wait to go back! A gem”

“Very friendly delivery staff and food is always nice and hot when it arrives and food is freshly made it order”
