Laguna Restaurant in Nottingham City Centre

Situated on Mount Street, just off Maid Marian Way in Nottingham city centre, is The Laguna Tandoori restaurant. Recognised as the oldest Indian restaurant in Nottingham, the traditional cooking techniques and authentic recipes make it a delightful venue for connoisseurs and first-time triers of Indian cuisine.

Despite its traditional Indian origins, the restaurant itself is contemporary in its design and decor. Flashes of terracotta on the walls, warm wooden room dividers and tables and comfortable booth seating and upholstered chairs makes the dining room and cosy and relaxing place to enjoy a delicious curry or tandoori dish. The Laguna are able to cater for all sizes of parties, making it ideal if you are looking for a night out with the lads or an intimate meal for two. The careful way that the dining room has been divided up ensures that every table can enjoy intimacy and peace and quiet.

Laguna pride themselves on delivering authentic Indian classics and use the traditional tandoor clay oven fuelled by charcoal to cook a wide range of meats and breads. Tony prefers to use the clay oven opposed to more modern gas and electric fired versions as the flavours intensify when cooked slowly over the charcoal. No curry paste is used at The Laguna, instead, combinations of spices are ground to order to ensure that every dish is flavourful and as authentic as possible. You can expect to find everything from the popular curries such as Rogan Josh, Korma and Bhuna, to more speciality dishes for the adventurous diner such as Shahjehani chicken prepared with fruits and herbs, and the Laguna Special with tandoor chicken cooked in oriental spices with chopped tomatoes.

If it’s an authentic Indian meal that you are looking for then Laguna Tandoori in Nottingham is the place for you. The value placed on traditional cooking methods and customer service is incredibly high and you will leave having experienced real Indian hospitality and cuisine.

On arrival we were greeted warmly and seated promptly. The restaurant was full, but service was friendly and attentive. The menu offers a reasonable choice for vegetarians and my mushroom pilau was particularly good. I did not view the wine list, but my colleague was happy with the availability of Gewürztraminer, which he assured me goes best with curry, was a reasonable price, and tasted good to me.

This was our first successful visit to Laguna - have never managed to get 'in' on a walk up before, it's that popular! The welcome was charming and we were shown straight to our table. Drinks (bottled Indian lager - good choice of Cobra, Lal, and Kingfisher if I recall,Carling on tap if you prefer, and J20 for junior) and poppadums with chutneys came quickly. Menu was fairly wide ranging with pretty typical dishes that you would expect. My OH had his 'calibration' dish of Lamb rogan josh - the dish he tries at each Indian restaurant to assess it, and I had a chilli chicken dish. Junior had keema peas. All of the food was cooked well - lamb was tender, chicken was moist yet cooked properly and keema peas were lamby and flavoursome. I would say that (judging by our dishes) Laguna goes lightly handed on the chilli heat. That's not to say that the food lacks flavour, far from it, but chilli heat wise they tread lightly, so don't be afraid of medium heat dishes.

didn't use the 'facilities' so I can't comment on those... :-)

Laguanas could improve the exterior to make it a little more inviting but once inside, you are greeted with a warm welcome and nothing is too much trouble. The food was typical Indian cuisine, tasty but in this case not particularly adventurous. I think there are subtle changes the restaurant could make to enhance the experience wihtout it costing too much especially as they have Memsaab and Delhi just around the corner as a couple of competitive heavy weights. However, the nature of Laguanas is of a smaller, more intimate dining experience so they could market it that way. I wouldn't mind returning but it wouldn't be my first choice.

Table ready on time. Good food, value for money. Service first class but a little too fast. Nice not to have purchase of drinks pushed at you. No problem in recommending.

Excellent curry! Quailty service! All in all a great place to eat out, especially in a large group like we were.
