Akhi's (Chesterfield)

You'll find yourself on Cavendish Street watching the meat rotate in the window, and that's when you know you're in the right place. Akhi's does the basics brilliantly: charred, well-seasoned lamb that's been properly cooked, not that rubbery stuff you get elsewhere. The bread is warm, the salad's actually fresh, and they don't skimp on the sauces. It's the kind of late-night refuge that makes sense after a night out, but equally the sort of spot you'd genuinely pop into on a random Tuesday evening because the food's just that solid.
