There’s a new place opened up in the old Maurizio’s unit, Pizza Sofia, that I noticed for the first time yesterday which looks pretty good and reasonably priced. 

I am not so sure. I walk past every day and the place seems a little odd. Doesn’t look very authentic. They also have various reference to the restaurant being in Tower Hamlets on their website.

Fair enough - I didn’t give it too much of a look as I was just passing by.

I will still give it a go! Belvoir Streeet is such a tough area to be successful on.

Let us know if you do go, always on the look out for an authentic pizza spot. Wish MartinBros could keep in business.

I went for an evening meal in the summer. Both OH and I loved the food.

I could knock back double figures of Quilmes in there. It's pretty reasonable too.

Think I got it on a bad night last week. 

Service was really slow and some of the red wine ran out after 1 bottle (there was 12 of us). 

 

We went for the tapas option and thought it was OK, a lot if the dishes tasted the same. 

 

I went in December and it was far better.

Which is the best Turkish restaurant in town now?

[westernpark]

Went to Casa Casa. Should be called Slop Slop. St Martins looking very empty but London Road heaving. Definitely a demand for halal food in Leicester.
