Data: © OpenStreetMap contributors, as of 18 October 2026

Hungry and undecided? Start with the cuisine, then pick the area. The directory covers 170 restaurants, and the list below the map lets you see which ones sit near you.

Where the restaurants are

The centre carries most of the weight. Black Friars has 54 listings and St Matthew’s has 38, which makes 92 of the 170 in just two neighbourhoods. Quality, in St Matthew’s, is one of the names people look for.

Further out, Highfields has 19 and the West End has 11. Istanbul is a familiar name in the West End. Red Sea is a known address in Black Friars.

Indian food and halal options

Indian is the leading cuisine by a distance: 34 restaurants, or one in five. Italian follows with 12, then Asian with 9 and Chinese with 8. Pizza has 7, while Portuguese and Turkish have 6 each.

Many readers ask for halal places. Our data does not record halal status, so check with the restaurant before you go, especially for a group booking.

Eating near London Road and the station

The area around London Road falls mostly inside St Matthew’s and Highfields. Looking at those two neighbourhood pages is the quickest way to see what is within a short walk.

Neighbourhood restaurants

Not every good meal is in the middle. Clarendon Park has 9 listings and Belgrave has 7. Bede Island has 6, and Knighton Fields, Westcotes and Stoneygate have 4 each.

Before you set out

  • 33 restaurants have opening hours on file.
  • 34 list a website and 26 list a phone number.
  • 13 are marked as wheelchair accessible.

Most entries have no hours recorded, so a quick call saves a wasted trip. All data comes from OpenStreetMap and some details will be out of date. Tell us about any mistake and we will fix it.
