Impressive dining room situated at the side of the casino, with a dark wood and red/brown leather scheme going on, and some interesting statues.

Really friendly staff who happily explained the items on the menu we didn't understand.
Asked us questions about what we liked and made some recommendations that we took.

Its in a Casino, but don't let that put you off, there are 2 bars inside, as well as a showbar and a media lounge that has a 94 inch tv in it!

If your not a into gaming, there's plenty to do on the site after your meal, or you could do what we did, and people watch from the restaurant though the glass screens!

Favorite Dish: Starters:

Between 4 of us we had 2 sharing platters - the samosas and spring rolls were tasty if not a bit standard, but the Malai chicken and the lamb kebabs were very very nice.

Mahir's Fish Curry - absolutely amazing sauce, and the cod is so soft, it just melts in your mouth!

Keema Kofta - lamb meatballs in a spicy tomato gravy - not really into lamb but would most definitely have this again!

Taj Makan Murgh - the waiter told us this is basically authentic butter chicken. it is really creamy and rich, and mild to begin with but has a bit of a bite afterwards, very enjoyable.

Mahir's Mild curry - One of our party does not eat spicy food. the waiter recommended this for her. it is basically roast chicken (but you can have mixed vegetables if you want) cooked in a curry sauce base that has had no spices put in it. it was a pleasant surprise, as even though there was no spices it was very flavoursome.

Wetherspoons in Coventry is housed in a lovely looking Tudor building. It is a huge place inside offering seating on two levels. We really enjoyed our meals here and just as it happened the night we went there was an offer where there was a free drink with a meal off the 'Grill' menu - three meals and drinks came to somewhere in the region of £20.00 - great value for money.

Favorite Dish: The mixed grill was delicious.

Starbucks is a worldwide chain of coffee shops with branches selling over ten types of coffee, including cappuccino, latte and mocha. They also sell a selection of sandwiches, croissants, cakes and muffins.

This branch is everything you’d expect from a Starbucks. Good coffee, some nice looking cakes and a busy chatty atmosphere. Being the only Starbucks in the city centre this has become a victim of its own success and is always too full and busy.

Esquires has its origins in Canada and was introduced to England in 2000, all its English stores use its own proprietary fresh roasted blend of fair-trade certified coffee.

Esquires combines good coffee, good cakes and good people watching in a relaxed atmosphere.

At weekends Millsy’s is full by 8:00pm, a very popular bar in the heart of Earlsdon. During the day Millsy’s is great for breakfast, lunch or just coffee with friends. In the evening the pizza, pasta and grill selections have something to suit all tastes.

People who have visited the one or other chain pub won't be surprised about what's going on here. Some may even know the menu by heart and some others are against visiting these kind of location as they have lost the authenticity of the good old english pub. But in times of globalization , there are times when you just want to be sure of what you get. And with the Flying Standard, I get the standard of a J.D. Wetherspoon pub at a very central location. No f…n' dresscode, no uncomfortable atmosphere – just some bar food and a pint of Stella. The bar staff was very friendly and the food really fine. So, whatelse do you want to relax while you wait for your coach?

Favorite Dish: I had a veggie burger and two pints of lager. It was right what I needed after having walked all the way from the airport into the city - and the right thing before falling asleep in the coach...

This restaurant has won awards but I am at a loss to understand why. The waiting staff were cold and superior and the food was average. Although we were drinking wine the waiting staff refused to bring us a jug of water - insisting only that we purchased mineral water which we found unnecessary and not the practice in other restaurants. Not recommended.
