i recently went in the alameer curry houseon attercliffeandhave 2 say it was brilliant. ive been 2 a lot of curry houses in sheff but i think that place takes some beating, anybody think of anywhere better.

Jannaths in town is my favourite... but it's only a takeaway or delivery service. Their mushroom vindaloos are really delicious. I normally get one on the way back from a night out.

have you tried the mangla on spital hill.....marvlous only draw back is that its not licenced,they don't mind you bringing in a pint from the pub across the th road though:thumbsup:

I got salmonella poisoning from the Alameer a couple of years back. Favourite restaurant for me is the Bombay, just round the corner from the Frog and Parrot. Closed for a refurb at the moment though.

Hi,

I can give the thumbs up for the Mangla as well. Very good.

Also check out the 7Spices on Mayfair Court by Gibraltar Street. Best curries I have eaten in long while.

Just get a taxi there and a taxi back home,nothing to worry about then.
Also you might have wanted to try doing a search (http://www.sheffieldforum.co.uk/showthread.php?s=&threadid=486&perpage=15&highlight=curry&pagenumber=1).

I know Khans is the same owners, but the food, IMO, isnt a patch on the Bombay. Everytime Ive been there, theyve drowned everything in coriander. Ive nothing against using a bit of it as a garnish, but when you cant see the curry for the herbs, its a bit much.

i like mangla but khans is good to on a monday when its buy one get one free!

I'd reccomend the Kashmir on Spital hill. Again like the mangla bring yr pints from over the road. And the dude running it is a scream...has us in stitches.

The food is top notch and V reasonable as well. Brilliant.

Sorry but ITS NOT A DANGEROUS PLACE! I live just past the Mangla, Yea it was pretty dodgy 10 years ago but it's much better now! The sooner people stop saying such rubbish the better!

Why not try it, the food is great at both the Mangla and the Kashmir and I honestly don't think you will get shot / murdered / beaten / robbed / or any of the other bad things people seem to expect to happen!

Jeeeeeez!

Gotta be the kasmir....great food - and lovely school-style tables & chairs with ridiculously expensive art for sale on the wall!!

well said neeeeeeeeeek

Kashmir it would be for me

Everest is Ok on chesterfield road.
Saying that though any curry house that doesn't put so much colouring in the food is fine by me.

I'll second Everest. Each time I've been I have been extremely satisfied.

Butlers Balti near Brook Hill roundabout isn't bad.

Indian Chef in Crookes is my personal favourite. Really good value, the Mutton Mheti is the best I’ve had. Not only do they let you bring across pints from the pub across the road (The Ball, a nice little boozer) but they take back your empties at the end o the night.

Also the staff couldn’t be friendlier, they made us up a doggy bag of left overs and gave us free popadoms and pickles to “make it a proper meal”

Try the Star of Sall just of the end of the bypass into Chesterfield, always fresh cooked with plenty of taste, and has a no smoking area, so you don't go home stinking like an old ashtray.

In the Walkley area try Royal Spice on South Road. Good food and actually has clean toilets !!!

Ranmoor Tandoori on Fulwood Road is also a good one.. Pubs either side for the after meal pint :D

The Kashmir is by far the best curry experience I've ever had. They'll put almost anything together for you if it's not on the menu. The food is excellent, it's super cheap and kid friendly (but not full of screaming ones all the time). And the tables and chairs give it a real Community Centre feel - there really is no other place like it!

I agree with neeek (how many e's?) - it's not that dodgy round there, like some people have said. We always walk back down into town afterwards and have never had any grief. Anyway, the best way to boost an area is to go and use their local amenities and spend some cash there, isn't it?

can't beat SB's after a night at the leadmill. However i've never been there sober so it may be a different experience if i did.

everytime Ive left SB's I've always thought "man, im still starving"

ambar and aisha's on eccelsall road r good. Also indian Garden on heeley bottom. Dilshad on the dale at woodseats.

I'd recommend butlers balti house best curry ive had in ages, if you think khans and those on eccy road are nice, you definatly aint been to butlers!!

if anyone ever flys from eastmidlands and has a stop over at any of the hotels near the airport get a taxi to a little village called shardlow (£5 in a taxi) there's a reaturant there called tandoori nights....after 20 years of curry eating this place is the muts nuts..best curry ive ever tasted...:thumbsup:

New India gardens! Very near Everest, which is also very good.

I think the food in SB's is ok, but the service is absolutely bloody terrible!
We went a couple of times after going to the Showroom (that's 2 seperate times, not twice in one night! ;0) )
Each time we wern't drunk or rude, but staff took ages to come to your table, or they would see you asking them to come over and ignore you.
When the waiter was clearing our table away when he finally did arrive, he took the dirty cutlery and put it in his trouser pockets!
We then said we'd like the bill, waited around 15 mins for someone to come, but they didn't, so we made our way to the front to pay and left. This wasn't particularly busy as well. Do they not want our money or what?!

I think the food there is ok, but as for the service, I wouldn't go back there - I'd rather go to the Balti King. Hey I know the stories but I've been on and off for 7 years and never had "delhi belly"!

always found the service spot on but ive never been when its been busy as i'm usually busy in the bar at peak times

I would be interested to people opinions on the best (or indeed the most authentic) curry houses in Sheffield.

As someone who has a passion for the food, I am wondering if there any any hidden gems out there worth going to?

My favourite so far is probably Elinas on Sharrowvale Road, though Everest on Chesterfield Road scores highly for its unigue menu and presentation.

I've never eaten curry out anywhere..ever
my mum makes the best curry ever, I like yellow dahl with spinach and coriander, and "aloo gobi" a potato and cauliflower curry with more taste than imaginable mm shes great :)

but seriously, no curry houses compare to real authentic home made currys..

we all coming round your house then ?!?

hehehehe that would be cool

Curry. Me. Now. Ug.

i think going to your house is a great idea! we can bring our own chairs!

yay! curry party!

Currrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrryy.

In Iraq, they hire Sri Lankan chefs in to do most of the cooking, and they did aloo gobi every night, very nice :D

do you really mean everyone can come ?!?

theres almost 11,000 of us - how bigs your mam's house ?

haha..it would have to be a street curry party, and forget bringing your own chairs, bring your own bloody ingredients more like

Zeenats in Attercliffe is curry-tastic

The best has got to be Curry Mahall at Dodith in Barnsley - its a bit further to travel but its in a nice little village surrounded by loads of pubs so you can make a night of it and it schange of scenery from sheffield it really i sworth going that extra mile - literally!

If you want a take away curry Kashmir Curry House on Spital Hill is a fave - it looks shady from the outside but is well nice!

It might be the mangla instead of kashmir that i ment? im rubbish with names.

Tried and loved al-ameer - we know a good curry me n you dont we!!? x

The best is Butlers on brook hill,you will love the currys.:thumbsup:

Threads merged.

No one mentioned the new Amraj at Crystal Peaks !!

Lamb Roganjosh to die for................

The food at the Amraj is ok if you don't mind waiting an hour between courses! the last time we decided to go there it took almost three sodding hours from start to finish, and when I complained all I got from the man in charge was "we are short staffed" WTF ! get more staff in :rant:

Butlers across from the old Jessops hospital is fantastic. As far as takeaways are concerned I'll go with Woodseats Tandoori.

Have got to say that the best curry Ive had in sheffield is ranmoor tandoori in er ranmoor. Really good value for money

Shapla at moorfoot is very nice indeed!

Check out Momtaz on Chesterfield road. It's not long been open, but real quality, not just the bog standard menu, very reasonable prices, and run by the nicest chaps in the world.

I had a take away from there last night, lovely :)

With out a doubt Mangla is the best in Sheffield, Butlers balti is also very good, after being used to Mangla I was extremely disappointed when I finally tried the Amraj. The food was very poor in comparision.

Also meant to add Gulshan in the Wicker.

Ranmoor Tandoori is good

I've not been to many others, but why bother once you've discovered the Mangla? It is fantastic value and I cant imagine anyone being dissapointed.It's the only thing I miss about living in pittsmoor, I dont get there very often now, yum making my mouth water, I lived on them when I was pregnant.
My partner reckons it is physicaly impossible to be unhappy when eating a good curry, something to do with the chemicals your body releases to deal with the "trauma" of the spicey food.A good curry should be a whole experience, not just a meal!(I must go now to stir my mr.pataks, and put on some rice).
If youve never tried the Mangla your missing out.My Dad (who wouldnt usually venture to that end of town-he's far too posh!!)took some convincing to give it a go, now thats where he takes all his footballing mates on their nights out.

I have to say Khans on West St. I went on sat night and noticed its had a bit of a refurb. The service was good and the food was to die for!! mmmmm Chicken Tikka Curry mmmm (thats not on the menu either!!) :D

Nirmals on West St is excellent for a big blowout. It's expensive, but pretty good. Mangla good for a cheap one, and Indian Chef best eat in near me.

O

Don't know if anyone's already said this, if I'm totally honest, I can't be ar*ed to read through 5 pages of posts on Indian Restaurants. But I went to Cha Cha's on Fitzwilliam Street (just down from Devonshire Green) last night, and it was EXCELLENT! £8 for eat as much as you like Indian buffet, and the quality was lovely. Also very nice and clean, and friendly.

I highly reccommend it!

EDIT: Decided I SHOULD really read it, and no one has mentioned it! Give it a try. It's apparately cheaper at different times of the day, too.

You should try the curried mushrooms - they are the best thing I have ever had - would recommend them to anyone (and yes, I have just had some)

Glad to see that this has been posted in this thread - it gets my vote.....

Butlers has been mentioned a lot in this thread. This is their web site (which I did):

http://www.butlersbalti.co.uk

got to be the Balti King in broomhill, david blunkets been there too :o)

I've just spent sometime reading the reviews and it seems to me that we have some good places to eat curry in our area
my favourite is the one way out at Stocksbridge it is small gets crowded you might end up with a wobbley chair but the food is the best and
they let you bring your own lager or wine in
Threshers nearby have a cold fridge and a wide choice so a cheap night out can be had

Seriously the Mangla is fantastic! I friend introduced it to me 7 years ago and a group of us go every month. Food is excellent, service is fast and friendly and it is very reasonably priced. Never had anything other than great meal in 7 years.

Nirmals on West St if your feeling flush and Mangla on Spitall Hill if your not!

The very best Indian restaraunt in Sheffield:

Nirmals
193 Glossop Road
Sheffield
South Yorkshire
S10 2GW
0114 2724054

Not cheap, though.

erm - i just wanna say- my g/f is in bed with food poisoning from chacha's last night!!!! not happy!!!

I have eaten there more times than I can remember and never had a problem...is it definately food poisioning (confirmed by a doctor ?)

Even so, I would be VERY surprised to find it had been from there.
The kitchen & restaurant are always spotless and the ingredients used are always fresh every day.

The hygiene standards are far better than most of the restaurants I have been to (worked in a lot of them as well)......

Iv got two favourite curry houses in sheffield - The Bombay just off Devonshire Street and Zeenat on Attercliffe Road - Simply divine!

mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!

The bombay was my fave until it closed down last year! It has now re-opend as Cafe Guru which is under a different owner. :bigsmile:

I was put off Nirmals By the staff there.
Theres attentive and downright creepy .
They just hovered around the table throughout the meal., also they seemed really upset when none of us wanted a sweet.
We felt like telling them to sod off and leave us to eat our meal in peace.
The Indiam at the top of Handsworth Hill I think its called the Lawajab is excelent slightly unusual menu too.

I HAVE BEEN TO EVERY CURRYHOUSE IN SHEFFIELD DURING ONE BOOZE FUELLED MISSION OR ANOTHER.

MANGLA IS WICKED AND REALLY CHEAP TOO.
TASTE OF INDIA IN HILLSBOROUGH WAS WICKED TOO TIL IT BURNT DOWN.

BUT THE BEST CURRY HOUSE IN SHEFFIELD IS JAAFLONG ON CROOKES. OH MY GOD!!!! GET THERE TONIGHT

We thought that the staff in Nirmals were over attentive to say the least.
The food was OK tho'
