not usually a review writer unless i want to warn people about bad food but i just have to write a review of this place because i was that blown away! the venue itself is like walking into a dubai 5* restaurant, the decor is fit for royalty, beautiful chandeliers big mirrors and a classy black and gold theme going on. we was greeted by the staff who are not in your face like some restaurants just wanting to get you in and out for the next customers, the staff are relaxed and very welcoming respecting your space but maintaining attentiveness throughout. so to the food....where do i start. for starters we ordered the bbq rib, dynamite prawns and pulled baobuns. i thought i miss read when it said "rib" as in one but i kid you not, this one rib was the size of my leg infact i believe it was possibly a dinosaur rib. the flavour and that bbq sauce was absolutely exquisite! the beef just fell off the bone and was juicy succulent and the sheer size of it got some mouths drooling on the instagram believe you me! onto the dynamite prawns....as i write this my mouth is watering. they are up at the very best prawns ive had. how they maintained the crispyness of the batter whilst covered in some sort of chilli sticky sauce is just complete wizardry! the baobuns again more than one could expect! the soft bun was not dry or brittle as ive had in some places but was just perfect, accompanied by succulent pulled beef with afew added chilli slices onto it to give it some heat!. onto the mains....i ordered the fillet steak and asked for spiced chips and peppercorn sauce. i asked for my steak to just have a little show of pink in it and to say they cooked it to perfection is an understatement. a lovely knob of garlic butter just melting away ontop. you also have the option of your steak coming out on a plate or on a hot iron grill. i went with the sizzling iron grill so everything was sizzling when it arrived. infact im going to go as far as saying this was the best steak ive had in leicester and certainly up at the top compared to anywhere else. the chips as requested came with some chilli seasoning sauce on top. it was not the same they had used on the starters which just shows they have variety and dont just use the same sauces on everything but clearly understand what sauces and seasonings accompany what dishes! absolutely blown away by this place. we was that full we had no room for desert but i most definitely will save some space for that next time, we saw afew being dished out and they look very stylish. during the course of our meal the owner also took the time to great us. i have to say again how welcoming and engaging he was, You can clearly tell he is passionate about his restaurant and the food that is served and for him to engage with his customers certainly is a testament to the level of service he wishes to delivery and my god did he deliver!. an absolute 5 star rating this place needs to be definitely...

Went to Steak and Lounge for date night with my wife who is a vegetarian. We somewhat struggle to find somewhere that caters for both our diets, but refreshingly this place does. We walked into the entrance and instantly we were greeted warmly by one of the staff. Entered the restaurant and we were amazed by the beautiful decor and attention to detail in regards to the incredible set up along with the view from the restaurant whilst dining, looking across the city skyline. We were escorted to our seats and were not rushed by the staff to place our order. The owner Faz who was just brilliant came over to make sure our experience was a memorable one, and made some excellent recommendations. My wife went for the mushroom starter along with the vegetarian burger as her main. I chose the BBQ wings starter and the house special S&L burger as my main. The mushroom starter was rich and creamy, full of flavour and the vegetarian burger was of a premium quality and not something from Mcdonalds. My wife also had a smoky passion and lychee mojitos which she said was divine. My starter was cooked to perfection with the sticky sauce on the wings tantalising and the meat just coming off the bone with ease. My S&L burger had a fusion of flavours coupled with the crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside triple cooked chips. For dessert we opted for one of their in house chocolate domes which again did not disappoint. Flavoursome with the warm chocolate being poured over the dome makes it all theatrical, but the chocolate mixed with the fruits inside complements the tastes and adds to the burst of different aromas. After our meal we decided to go downstairs to the Shisha Lounge and once again the decor and effort put into the place was mesmerising. Jamal came over to give us a recommendation on the Shisha and I can honestly say that it was the best smoke I have had in a long time. The smoke was not harsh and it lasted for a very long time. All in all it was an amazing evening with quality food, deserts and Shisha all under one roof at a very reasonably price. What was an added bonus was that Faz handed me a pre-paid NCP parking ticket which made my parking literally opposite the restaurant completely free. Definitely recommend a visit to this place to anyone who wants a quality meal at a very reasonable price. Well done to the Steak & Lounge...

Popped over the two of us to check it out after seeing it posted on social media
Location - in city centre in Leicester, you can park at the NCP car park next to the restaurant and they can validate your parking, so parking is free which is best of all!
Decor - Downstairs is a sheesha lounge and main restaurant is upstairs. Decor is really nicely done and looks stunning and quite posh 10/10 for decor
Food - Food is average above average nothing to complain about nor nothing to wow or praise about it is just okay. We ordered starter platter for two which consists of 3 prawns 2 wings and a huge beef rack with some salad. The portions was huge and was worried i would struggle with the mains, surprisingly it was just enough and not overfilling Prawns was delicious Wings was okay Rib rack was average not much flavour so bit dissapointed but nonetheless it was ok
Mains we ordered sirloin steak and gazebo chicken both small portions but just enough to leave you not too full or not too hungry, they got it spot on with the portion sizes Chips was okay too
Drinks ordered were the mocktail with dryice that gives the smokey effect lovely drink which was more than enough (considering other places gives you little)
Service was great the gentlemen at the front desk i assume looked like the manager was lovely and friendly and accomodating excellent service
Being from out of town 100miles away i would not come here just for the meal if you want to make a day out of it and eat there that work well. But average place no complaints and no big praises.
They accept amex which is great...
