View Full Version : Local takeaways - Let's find the best
drainpipe 25-01-2005, 22:29 My nominations are:
1) XL Fisheries at Wickersley - never found any fish and chips better than these and I've tried a lot.
2) Lily's Bakery - Penistone rd. - Meat & potato pie chips, peas and gravy to die for.
There's a huge great long thread on 'best chippy' so can it be just the others? Chinese, Indian etc?
For Indian takeaway its ELLINAS-Sharrowvale Road, the best by far!
pauly1664 25-01-2005, 23:58 mangla pitsmoor...mr sha is the man
Lickable 26-01-2005, 08:03 Benitos - Hackenthorpeish area - Great fresh teasting Pizza
Greenback 26-01-2005, 08:25 Got to give a shout out to Wild Rice on London Road. Really good Thai food.
Its got to Elifs on eccy road. The best chicken kebabs in the known universe!!
It depends where you live really,
You will always find a decent one wherever you live, and everyone likes different things.
I live in Dinnington and have 6 or 7 to choose from, some do pizzas better, some do burgers better, its nice to have a choice.

I live there for 21 years and they are the best i have ever had too- there sooo amazing :D
Is there anywhere in sheffield that does cripsy chips rather than soggy ones. Sorry all those from yorkshire, but I prefer my crispy chips from the west midlands!
the 'best kebabs' special burger is heaven :D :D
Swan_Vesta 26-01-2005, 13:20 Hario's at Hillsborough is grand. They do proper tasty pizzas and a corking collection deal: 2 x 10" pizzas for £5.99.
Gets my vote when we feel lazy!
meersbrook 26-01-2005, 13:26 Big up to the Broomhill Balti King from me! (and no, I'm not a student)
Consistently the best on personal experience.
Special mention for Everest too on Chessie road of course. Top spot.
err, balti king, the best, you need to get out more. Balti king is the fun drunken place to go, but their curries are awful, esp, when busy.
There really can't be an Indian takeaway anywhere in the UK to beat Bilash on Sharrowvale Road.
MuteWitness 26-01-2005, 14:16 bilash and mangla are both as good as each other, i think!
Lajawab indian on handsworth road.
the food is excellent and the sevice is the best ive ever had, whether ive had a take away or eaten inside.

I did say on _personal_ experience. They did try and put me off by having Vinnie Jones feature on some promotional material, but the food still hit the spot so that was ok.
Can't say I have ever eaten there stone-cold-sober, but at the same not always sozzled when I go there either - always seems good to me. Only slight criticism tends to be food comes out a little _too_fast_ sometimes [i.e. suspiciously so] - but the taste usually sound. There you go.
Its good when you're drunk, but when you want some quality it's not the right place to go. Mangla is good, so is the one on sharrowvale rd already mentioned. Elif's top kebabs too. Not sure of best pizza or chinese takeaway (close to city centre anyway).

On reflection I have to agree. Mangla is amazingly cheap yet still hits the spot quality-wise too. Glad someone else has mentioned Elif ! Kebabs have such a stigma attached to them, but as anyone else who's sampled the delights of Elif will tell you, the food from there truly is superb. "Proper" kebabs for sure .. just go easy on the garlic and chilli sauce LOL.
All this talk of food is making me hungry :|
minx1977 26-01-2005, 20:23 Takdir on Ecclesall Rd (Park Head)

where in the west mids are you from miggy? i'm from stafford and i don't remember having crispy chips from anywhere! apart from macdonald's maybe, but they're the same everywhere..
i know what you mean though, the chips up here defo aren't as good.. i miss al karim's from back home! great after a night out at the local cheese-fest, Zanzibar (http://www.zanzibar.co.uk)! :)
My nominations are:
Best Indian: Mangla
Best Chinese: New Zing Vaa on top of Ecclesall Rd
Best kebab: Elif on Ecclesall Road
Here's a list of the BBC Greedy cow's grub guide. Very helpfull:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/southyorkshire/greedycow/food/listings.shtml
Suprised this has not been mentioned but New India Garden on Chesterfield Road has the best quality Chicken I have ever tasted.
I am always sober when I eat there to.
I get drunk afterwards :)
Everest is good as well.
MuteWitness 15-03-2005, 08:29 canton wok - on woodseats is owned by the same people as the zing vaa, its very nice and you get 10% off if you collect your food at the moment
LoopyLou 15-03-2005, 08:33 Indian = Mangla - just has to be, Good food, cheap and a pub across the road to grap a drink between courses.
Pizza in town = Murdochs - it been there for years and no friday night out would be the same without it.
Chinese = Rainbow on white lane - the best for years and then some.
buggslife 15-03-2005, 10:06 Memories of Kashmir on Bradfield Road, Hillsborough has absolutely fantastic quality curries if you go for one off the Chef's Specials list. It's not dirt cheap but still good value; for about £6 you'll get a great curry with choice of rice and a chapati.
Personal favourite is:
Kari Gosht (lamb) with mushroom fried rice.
Great people in there too. Take away only though....for eating in agree Mangla is the best.
underground1 15-03-2005, 10:10 Some good takeaways in rotherham town center, best ones ive been to have got to be Ellies & Jazziss, they both do really nice chips and cheese sauce, and also do really nice pizza, kebabs and burgers, And you really enjoy it after a few drinks in town. :)
furry_chick 16-03-2005, 11:09 Elinas on Sharrow Vale Road is fab but the best Indian take away is Tak Dir, Delish!!
technophobe 16-03-2005, 12:37 Mangla is great but a little scarey considering where is located!!
I think New India Garden is fab and also Tak Dir...
Worst curry believe it or not was in Islamabad, Pakistan, it was like meat soup!!! yuk the very thought of it makes me want to gip!! :gag:
For chinese I really like Canton Orchard at Fulwood, although its not a takeaway and is quite expensive.
Top Wok at Dronfield does great chinese food and is reasonable priced. Comes in those little boxes too which adds to my liking..
:clap:
can anyone reccomend for around glossop rd/broomhill/broomhall area?? ta

Heh, they've been using that same promotion since I first came to uni in Sheffield (now in my 3rd year). Balti King's bearable for pre/post-drink munch, but the portions are tight and the meat is a bit iffy. Plus loads of my mates complain that everything's too hot, bloody southerners eh?! ;)
Taste of Kashmir on Barber Road, Crookesmoor used to be good, gone a bit downhill lately though :suspect:
Sun Yee (chinese) on Crookes Road is good, and pretty cheap.
underground1 16-03-2005, 17:37 Danomms on Abbeydale Road is nice aswell & cheap, they do some good offers like buy 1 pizza get another for £1.
Indian = Rajputs on Commonside
Chinese = Golden Lee on London Road
Chippy = Admiral on Crookes
Better off getting pizza from supermarket and sticking in the oven for 10 mins.
SilentStatic 20-03-2005, 18:14 Broomhill Friery in Broomhill is the best :thumbsup:
And Kebabworld is my fave place for pizzas.
Another vote for Bilash. In fact, I'm off there now.
Not only is the food excellent, the service is brilliant - they're really polite and also it's VERY inexpensive - perfect proof you don't have to pay a premium for good food.
I also echo comments about Balti King. Put simply, the place is garbage.
can anyone reccomend for around glossop rd/broomhill/broomhall area??
best round there IMO is Manzil, by the SouthSea pub.
Manzil is great. They even have Compay Segundo doing their deliveries. :)
mmmmmmm Manzil chicken kebabs..................drool
popestar 23-03-2005, 13:50 underground1 are you mad - danums on abbeydale road are terrible - every pizza tastes the same although must admit burgers are so so
i recommend Zaika's behing Karachi nstores in attercliffe - chicken and lamb tikka to die for

agreed with the admiral, although the chips aren't quite what they were a year ago, a change of oil required perhaps.
Also has anyone noticed Rajputs has a sign outside proundly boasting its the number 1 takeaway in commonside... not much competition is there???
JonJParr 23-03-2005, 14:05 Has to be the Broomhill Friery! :thumbsup:
Does anyone know if BILASH actually deliver or is it collection only?
edhardie 08-04-2005, 16:45 Where will I find the best chinese take-away within a couple of miles of hunters bar?
Ed.
redrobbo 08-04-2005, 16:46 Fantastic chinese takeway on Myrtle Road, Arbourthorne.
Did you 'seaerch' on here?
There's already a thread about best take-aways and another about chinese (I think)
edhardie 08-04-2005, 16:51 Sorry I'm lazy.
Great chinese takeaway called MANGE on Heeley Green
simplyles 08-04-2005, 18:53 Anyone remember the "ISLAMABAD" curry house down the cliffe it was the first in sheffield.
Probably not so ask your Ma or Pa !!!!!
A bloke named Sofi had it and they used to sell this kind of leaf with grated nut wrapped in it which you chewed on after your meal to clean your teeth & breath, you didn't swallow it , just chewed & then spit it out.
Them were the days, proper cooks, cooking proper curries.
The BALTI PALACE Firth Park do a nice Bhuna and the mixed kebab .......... luverly jubberly
