    We had a lovely meal in Mono Vita this evening. It was great that the restaurant was open early evening as we have a 6 year old so tend to need 'dinner' at about 5.30pm. The service was great. Nothing was too much trouble and the gentleman serving made a real fuss of our little one. The food was delicious. All was prepared freshly and was nicely presented. The chicken and mushroom pasta was a real highlight! We would certainly recommend!

    Took my bf for his birthday. Loved the food. Couldn't finish mine. They also sang him a birthday song and refused to let me pay for the cake which was super! Food is affordable

    Wow! A total hidden gem serving tasty amazingly priced food. My starter/main + sweet all hit the spot - house merlot was good + extra glass + limoncello on the house an added bonus! Espresso top marks! Will definitely return 5*

    Visited this place with friends. The owner was super accomodating and we were all treated very well. As for the food, delicious. I will come back here for meals with friends. We were too busy having a laugh and enjoying the meal so I didn't have time to take photos of their food but the quality was great, portions a good size and not too pricey.

    Great place, the owner is fantastic and will do everything to make your visit fun and relaxing. The food is delicious, fresh ingredients cooked to order, great selection of drinks, they do a mean baileys coffee 😉 You can book for large groups and they have a function room upstairs which has a really nice atmosphere. I much prefer eating at small family run places like this than those big soulless franchise chains. There is a good car park nearby on Dover Street which is only £2 for the evening after 6pm and the streets around Dover street have some free parking after 6pm too if you can find a space.

    Small yet Friendly restaurant, live music (lady on organ) really lovely gentle back ground music, food was Fab, I had roasted haloumi starter, and beef stifado as main, large lumps of tender beef cooked in a red wine gravy, generous portions, friendly staff, the other half had garlic mushrooms starter, and a chicken main which he thoroughly enjoyed judging by the two empty plates. Good value for money too. We had 2 drinks each as well, and got change from £60 ..well worth a visit 👍

    Great atmosphere, staff and delicious food. The menu is extensive and reasonably priced. They have a set menu, 3 courses for £13 - great value for money. The waiter was very friendly and gave great service!

    On the edge of the city centre. This is a little gem of a restaurant. The food was great and the service from Artan the owner and his staff was excellent. Also nice simple live music. I did not count but I would say there was about 22 covers. Much better than the plastic restaurants in the centre.

    So we had high hopes. The rating was great The starters, Greek salad and humus were great, we ordered chicken penne and spaghetti bolagnaise which was terrible. Really tasted like dog food. I know the economy is bad, but there is defiantly something wrong I this kitchen. I would strongly avoid. The management didn't have us pay for the meal we didn't eat. Jan 2019

    Absolutely loved the food here. A small group of us from Birmingham were in Leicester to see a show and randomly ended up in Mono Vita. We ordered the grand mezze and were very pleased. The host was friendly, conscientious and brought out the food and drinks very quickly. I only wish there was a restaurant in Birmingham!

    What a fabulous little restaurant, combining the food from all my favourite places. Friday night out with my three friends from school and we found this almost by accident, as one of the girls was going home by train and it is just minutes from the station. Felt welcome as soon as we walked in, loved the food, the atmosphere, friendly staff and to top it all live music too! Really felt as if we were suddenly, magically on holiday! Prices very reasonable as well. We will definitely be going again!

    We visited on Valentines weekend so a set three course meal was in place, multiple choices on starter, main & sweet, excellent value at £25 a head but we prefer the Greek menu, especially Friday nights with traditional Greek live music, highly recommended, the staff & musicians make you very welcome.
