"Two of us arrived at 10pm on Friday evening without a reservation and the staff were happy to serve us. We’d already walked past three curry houses in the town centre with no customers, but this place still had people in which I think must be testament to their reputation. Service was good and friendly, and we never felt rushed. Poppadoms fresh and addictive, king prawn puri and lamb chop tikka starters both really tasty. Fish curry (madras? and chicken dansak for mains, boiled rice and a really soft fresh peshwari naan. If we’d only been having mains we might have found the portions a little small, but as part of a larger meal they were great. Would love to see some more dessert options, but the mango kulfi we shared was nice. A bottle of house wine at around £23, so not cheap but not extortionate either. Everything felt clean and cared for. Overall we’d really recommend, and we’ll be returning!"

"Wow. The the quirky situation is a fabulous first impression. The friendly greeting made us feel so welcome. The attention to hygiene and protection made us feel safe. The self explanatory simple online ordering system was fun with the opportunity to personalise your order where...possible. The service was kind, thorough and knowledgeable. The food was flavoursome, fresh and inventive. I’m a vegetarian- in a burger place and enjoyed my choices. This is by far not my first visit here. They do change things up and keep it interesting. I was with my 12 year old child and partner on a spontaneous trip after the cinema. It was the perfect fit for a grown up and fun occasion. I requested a surprise cocktail as my second drink. Mr Tim Garratt completely blew my mind. He is an expert professional craftsman mixologist extraordinaire. I don’t know this but think he reviewed my previous cocktail to give him and indication of my taste. In a shake a mysterious mesmerising delicate pink coloured cocktail in the perfect glass encased in a mystical bubble was presented to me. I was hypnotised. When the bubble burst it was the beginning not the end of this exotic experience. The fragrance was intriguing, a mist swirled out of the glass towards me. The temperature was perfectly cool and inviting. The taste was idyllic. Subtle, refreshing, delicate, alive and the best drink I have ever ever tasted. I didn’t savour it, I lived it and loved it and it was gone so quickly. I instantly ordered another. This cocktail was a grapefruit and cucumber daiquiri. To me there’s nothing finer. All 3 of us had a memorable experience and exciting different brave flavours. Everything about Slider Town Loughborough @slidertownloughbouough is individual and excellent. By the way it is bizarre coincidence that we share the same last name. I have no connection to anyone @slidertownloughborough but would be happy to!"

"This was my first visit, and I met friends for a Sunday lunch. We arrived 45 minutes early for our table, but it wasn't a problem as we wanted to enjoy a couple of pints first. They had Cruz Campo and Camden Pale on draft. We all ordered three courses, and the food was excellent. The service was prompt, thanks to the lovely and friendly waitresses. The owner was very welcoming and appreciated our business. With great beer, delicious food, and attentive service, there was really nothing to complain about. I look forward to coming back soon. Note: There’s a free car park right across from the restaurant."

"Booked a table early for yesterday evening. Not been here before but it looked nice from outside.We were warmly greeted and offered any seat in the house. Excellent menu,our waiter came for drinks order and took our meal requirements.Lately, we, as a family, have eaten at various places around the town. and so often it`s disappointing cool or worse food being the biggest gripe. Here this evening, nothing could be improved upon.The food was served piping hot, the service intervals between courses was right. The food was excellent, the cleanliness, the comfort, the attentive but not overbearing waiter all first rate.Finally the prices were very reasonable. I shall come again. If you`re looking for an evening out then given Ryan`s a try!"

"Called in on a whim and were greeted in a friendly and warm manner. Despite not having a reseveration we were promptly seated. Nice feeling inside, and decorated as you might expect. The food we ordered was nice, and reasonably priced. The staff who greeted us and waited on us were all very friendly. The menu felt like a menu you'd expect to see in Gordan Ramsey's Kitchen Nightmares (not meant in a bad way), where its just perhaps a bit too long, where he then simplies it, reduces it down, and focuses on several really good dishes rather than lots of variety. I think that would work here, as most of the dishes are typically either chicken or pork, its not entirely obvious (to my uneducated self) what the real differences were. The only other criticism I would have were the table clothes. There were there, and they look really nice, but they had all been covered with a clear piece of plastic to protect the material/keep it clean, and make it easy to clean down. I fully understand the mentality of this, and the convenience for the restaurant, but it doesn't look that great. In short, nice food, reasonably priced, and I would visit again."
