As an eat in place, you can get anything you want in any kind of bread for a pretty fair price. They have three boards of sandwich suggestions, but if that isn't enough, you can devise your own. Always take my Mum and Dad there - they have a great time deciding what to have - breakfast baps are incredible and very good value. Coffee is big and strong. They have a loyalty card which allows a free one after about nine cups - a nice touch, and obviously competing with Nero down the road. The deli counter has a nice selection of food, some unusual stuff - but I do think you pay for it. The olives in particular seem to be very expensive, and I don't really feel they are any more special than from the right supermarket.

Delilah is located in beautiful former banking halls right in the city centre in Nottingham. The…read moreplace has proper artisan feel, with the front selling craft foods and drinks, and restaurant in the back and top area.

My cousin suggested my mum and I head down to Delilah for a birthday lunch out in Nottingham - and…read moreI'm so glad we did. It reminded me a little of Bills (or how Bills used to be when it sold more fresh produce...) as it's juggling lots of different angles - deli/ farm shop/ grocer/ bakery/ café etc... and with all these different things going on, it could be accused of being a little confused, however I really enjoyed the vibe here - it was buzzing. There is a larger eating area upstairs away from the bustle and hustle of the deli and produce sections, but for me, we were in the best place right in the centre of the action - right next to the fresh baked bread section (freebies and the aromas cooked bread; perfect!). The menu is well thought out and all gives the impression of a fresh creative chef behind it. I went for the chicory, blue cheese, smoked venison salad - because I just cannot deny 3 things I love to eat all in one dish! It was delicious - admittedly not massive; it would probably classify as a large starter but for lunch it was actually a good size (my eyes are too big for my tummy!). Mum was delighted with her omelette meal which was a bit more hearty (and I had a mouthful and if I hadn't been so taken with my meal I would have had full blown food envy!). It's not really cheap (about £10 for a lunch main) however it's worth the money and I was more than happy to pay it for such a well thought out and delicious meal. Thoroughly recommend this place!!!

So nice we ate there twice. Friday night two weekends ago, we popped into one location (across from…read moreBroadway Cinema Cafe). I got the honeyed aubergine- lovely but I wish I would have known they were fried as I avoid fried food. My husband's chorizo and salmon risotto was plenty but the flavour was not amazing. The Australian waitress could have been much friendlier but the best part of the evening was the atmosphere- great 60s rock playing at just the perfect volume in a dimly lit interior. Perfect for relaxing. I ordered a glass of the house white and it was AWFUL so another waitress we had kindly too it of the bill. The next night we popped into the other location around the corner where the bottom floor is even smaller (although there is a spacious second floor). Again, super cozy and this time we had a much nicer waitress. I just got the soup as I was not really hungry but it was delicious. Again, great soundtrack!

There are also things like preserves and biscuits etc. It also has its own little cosy cafe which is well worth a visit if you can get a seat as its so popular. This shop is a real treat for anyone who likes good quality fresh foods. It could be bigger size wise and would still be full but that doesnt take away from the quality hence the 5 stars.

It was 90% rocket which is hard to eat in that quantity and I didn't! It may be my fault, but I forgot to ask for a fork, assuming that one would be included along with a napkin, which wasn't either! Eating hummous, beans and beetroot outside with my fingers was an experience! But I don't want to do it again, so please give your takeaways a fork and napkin, or at the least ask if they are required. xx

But never fear, in Atlas they just nodded and took our order, and I have to say it's the best coffee I've had in Nottm in some time. With a lovely selection of cakes (I recommend the carrot cake) and an interesting sarnies and salad selection, I can recommend it, especially to anyone trying to escape the clinical Cafe Nero / Starbucks chains. My only reservation is that they need to pay more attention to cleaning up around the coffee machine (it was a bit offputtingly messy).
