Countryside La Vie Magazine

Cheikho’s Restaurant situated in Oadby is run by Sammy who started his now very successful business in 1989, after an extensive career working in the finer reataurants and hotels in the county like The Three Swans The Grand and The fernie Lodge where he was their ‘front house manager’. This varied training gave him the impetus to open his own Restaurant, which has now expanded to a chain based around the quality areas of Leicestershire, such as Market Harborough, Oakham and Lutterworth.

His dishes are based on southern Italy’s way of cooking. His main ingredients are imported from that part of the world. The rest of his produce is procured locally from the surrounding Leicestershire Farms, with his delicious Italian breads made fresh every day on the premises.

Sammy produces wholesome delectable meals with fish being a large part of his menu. Seabass is a very popular fish and if a call is made in advance a delicacy such as Lobster will be especially prepared for you to enjoy. With Leicestershire having one of the largest fish markets in the country it’s ideal for acquiring the freshest fish on a daily basis.

Cheikho’s also caters for Private functions and business seminars, the first floor is equipped with Projectors and Computers as well as all the necessary IT equipment for a successful meeting and all at no extra charge.

One of the many delectable meals presented at Cheikho’s is their signature dish ( Yasmine Arabella) created by Cheikho for his beloved daughter. Lean fillet of beef sliced open and filled with mozzarella and king prawns wrapped in parma ham laced with French mustard flamed with courvoisier then sauteed with mushrooms, onions and cherry tomatoes and finished with an exclusive Chateau Talbot wine and creme fraiche sauce. priced at £15.95

A family of four can quite easily eat for as little as £24.00 and if you still have room for something more, then the patisserie Chef has an exquisite selection of desserts to follow your meal. All this can be accompanied with a glass or two of fine wine which can be chosen from the extensive list of French and Italian Wines.

So next time you want to dine out come and try a little taste of Italy and enjoy! Oh and don’t worry if you need more time to savour the meal, sammy says rushing is no good and even though we finish at ten we’re very casual about time. It takes time to enjoy your meal and this is very important. So take as long as you need and don’t look at the clock Sammy won’t!
