We used to be obsessed with their roasted broad beans and their chilli bites that we couln't find anywhere else. They do a large range of sarnies, ciabattas and rolls. It's a lovely place tahat is not over priced and makes a change from the likes of Greggs. Next time your on the way to Bradgate Park (don't think it's open on sunday), stop off and stock up with goodies. You won't be disappointed

If you like to spend money on quality food, then you'll be happy here. Food from the Far East…read moreMiddle East, and Europe are all on offer. I'm usually in here for breadcrumbs, falafel mix, vegetarian burger mix, tahini, and my new favourite-Gits' ready meals. No giggling at the back! These are Indian-made authentic boil-in-the-bag vegetarian meals that are ready in 4 minutes and are as ideal for a lunchtime treat at home as they are for festivals and/or camping. The longer I stay in here the more things I'll see and buy, which I'm happy with, as I save loads by buying my basics at small supermarkets, so I can spend more on proper luxury! Like Belgian chocolate cups that you can use as the basis for bite-size desserts, or for liquors. And pavlova bases to pile Summer fruits on for a pudding to share. In the chilled cabinet are cooked meats and cheeses. At the counter you can buy Iranian sweets and a box of cigarettes. Nima is traditional, exotic and friendly. As it's one of Moseley's most long-standing independents, it also feels righteous to shop here. You'll appreciate the foods and they'll appreciate your custom.

They have a wonderful choice of cheeses and cold meats and some really great pasta that I have trouble getting elsewhere. The place has a wonderful atmosphere too which makes you unaware whether its 2014 or 1954. I really love this place but I am scared that unless people use it they will suffer at the hands of the 'big boys'. Support deli's like this, they are a rare and wonderful thing.

This is the ultimate in indulgence food on the High Street, especially for a town like Belper. All…read morethe fresh foods, meats, cheeses etc are great but the real treat for me are the fine cakes that they do. 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.

Popped in to get some lunch to take to the Riverside Gardens. So much choice! I decided to go for a…read moresalad. While it was tasty, I think for £2.90 it wasn't value for money. 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

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!!!

We walk past The Deli around once a week when grocery shopping and finally decided to pop in for a…read moreglass of wine over the weekend. Based on the atmosphere and quality of wine, I love this little spot. It is so cosy. We were the only customers in the store and received superb service. The owner runs this location and a few other shops, plus hosts food tents at festivals during Christmas. She came over to our table and made some wine recommendations and gave us a bowl of crisps on the house. My partner, Seth S., and I both ordered the Pinot Noir from Romania. It was delightfully full-bodied and smooth. The lighting is dimmed just enough to encourage good conversation and a comfortable atmosphere. There are two main rooms for seating, each with groupings of chairs or booths around bistro style tables. The art and decor feel like a brasserie. I would highly recommend The Deli for a delicious glass of wine (or 3) and great conversation with friends.

Breakfast Review:…read more One of the best Full English breakfasts in the Midlands! Its a wonderful deli, on the High Street in Boldmere, with outdoor seating - which is superb when the sun comes out! The breakfasts are awesome. Superb sausages, great bacon, exceptional bread, (the deli sells some of the best bread in Birmingham). 2 succulent sausage, 2 bacon, fried egg, 2 half tomatoes, mushrooms. toast, quality butter. Its one of the best in Birmingham, (I rate it joint 2nd). The staff are great, headed by Pip the owner and her team of assistants, (including sons). The only real problem with this place is that I always spend a fortune on their amazing cheeses, breads, cakes and pate's. Try it. You will thank me!

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).

First off I needed a dine and go lunch before my trip to the Thornbridge brewery (something had to soak up the beer...) and I got a really tasty smoked salmon white roll for £3.50. The next occasion was a few hours later when I popped in to see if they had any bakewell tarts left that I could buy and take home for dessert that night. They were just literally shutting the doors but the friendly owner let me in and sold me a few slices - at a discount even due to her saying they would have been better eaten that night (I love independent business') I literally didn't have time to hang around and smell the roses but it's a really cool sandwich shop and deli - plus the sandwich and tarts were pretty damn good!
