Latest Coventry hotel reviews
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.

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.

If your idea of a starter is one prawn surrounded by sauce costing £6.15 then this is the place for you. It's over priced and the only reason it wins recognition awards is due to the restaurant giving you a questionnaire asking which is the best restaurant in Coventry with their restaurants name already filled in in the answer section, all they require is for you to sign it.

I have never been to Nawaz before, its an Indian Restaurant based in Far Gosford Street in Coventry, and I had heard that it had previously had a fairly good reputation so I was really looking forward to eating there. It's above an off licence, and being a 'dry' restaurant it was easy enough to grab a bottle of wine before going upstairs. The decor wasn't all that great but it appeared ok. There was a group of 4 guys in the restaurant so I would say that it really catered for singles/couples and those on a tight budget rather than families.
My fiance and I ordered our food, and although not everyone's cup of tea I am a vegetarian and my fiance is a meat eater. I don't people mind people around me eating meat, nor do I object to cooking meat however I do not want to eat it myself. I ordered a vegetarian balti (which yes is on their menu), and my food turned up, I started to eat and found I had a lump of chicken in my mouth. Oh great it didnt kill me, however what if I had a nut allergy and ordered a nut free meal, and then tasted something with nuts in eat, believe me Nawaz would have a major lawsuit on their hands. Did I complain damn right, and I refused to pay for my food and left the restaurant, but not before I was informed by the waitress'es boyfriend that the chef was new and to night was his last night, and that previously the chef had given him a meat curry when he had ordered a veggie one....Yeah right, likely I believe that...If I owned the restaurant and the chef gave out the worng orders then he would get his marching orders. Avoid theis restaurant at all costs...its not worth it!
Favorite Dish: Nothing whatsoever
