About Saracens Cafe

Saracens Cafe is a restaurant on Lower Parliament St in Nottingham, serving halal food with a rooftop terrace where shisha and mocktails such as the Princess Peach are served. The kitchen runs an international menu, with recurring dishes including the hot shot parmesan, dynamite prawns, and lamb karahi, and gluten free options are available with the curries. Mocktails extend beyond the terrace favourite to a pina colada and mojito, and shisha flavours are suggested by staff to suit individual preference. The room takes walk-ins rather than reservations. Baby changing facilities are on site, and paid on-street parking serves those driving in.

Customer Review Summary

Sweet chilli waffle fries are the most repeated draw, called the highlight of one meal and the best chips one reviewer has had. Close behind is the Hot Shot Parmesan, praised by two diners, along with desi nachos, lamb chops, lamb karahi and a chicken and pasta dish described as full of flavour. Mocktails and a mojito also earn praise, notably the Princess Peach and the pina colada, while the Strawberry Heaven was not liked. Reviewers consistently call the staff friendly and welcoming, with one describing a family-run feel and another a shisha suggestion tailored to their requests. The main caveat is mixed execution: the chicken baguette was dry, the dynamite prawns small, and some décor feels dated. One reviewer with a milk allergy reports that a mango juice was first made with milk and remade with orange juice by staff, but that the bread still came with butter, followed by a day of diarrhoea. Another reviewer says the food was halal.

    “The sweet and chilli fries are to die for. The beef burger is respectable by all means but nothing incredible. Customer service was amazing the guy uzayr made things super welcoming. I'm definitely coming again. Best chips I've had in my life to date.”

    “Ok it’s nice but actually for food allergy they don’t do well… I told them I couldn’t have milk and they made mango juice first with milk. The staff remade it with orange juice. but still the bread is with butter…so I had a whole day diarrhoea…”

    “Service here was excellent, the staff member was incredibly friendly and helped us get seated and comfortable from the moment we arrived. The food and drinks also arrived quickly which was appreciated. The restaurant was generally clean, although some of the décor does feel a little dated. The atmosphere was still pleasant enough and suitable for a casual meal. The food was enjoyable overall. The hot shot parmesan was really tasty and everything on the plate worked well together. The waffle fries with sweet chilli were particularly delicious and were probably the highlight of the meal. The dynamite prawns were also very enjoyable, although the prawns themselves were a little on the smaller side. The chicken baguette was unfortunately a bit of a let down as it was on the dry side and wasn't particularly enjoyable. The mocktails were a mixed experience as well. The Princess Peach mocktail was really nice and well balanced, but the Strawberry Heaven mocktail wasn't too nice. Improvements in these areas would definitely elevate the overall experience. Overall, the food was decent and there were dishes that I enjoyed. I would happily visit again if I was in the area.”
