Dosas don't travel well - they can get a bit soggy. Definitely worth getting if eating in though.

Cauliflower 65 is the veggie version of this (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EZEaYngbp4w)!

I have been in East and West a few times - twice with asian friends and twice in purely caucasian company. The food was definitely spicier when I went with asians. I guess they must tone it down a little sometimes!

Being asian myself, I always get asked if i want it "asian style" .
The restaurants quite wrongly assume that white folks cant handle too much spice :hihi:
I know white guys that can out eat me in the spice department!!!

That policy pish poor. A lot of English people like super spicy food so it's wrong to make assumptions and tone it down for them. In India I found the food generally* less spicy than in an English Curry House, although this was 20 years ago before English curry houses became more bland.

*I used the word 'generally'. Thee were some dishes in India that were spicy like you wouldn't believe :shocked:

Last week we had the Keralan (King?) Fish curry, aubergine curry, channa masala, one rice and raita - vadai and poppadom for starters. Yum.
I'd avoid the fish fry - bloody gorgeous but poor value.
I'm not sure how they would do a take out dosa considering the size of the pancake?
If eating in get a dosa down ya washed down with a mango lassi.

thanks for that , any other recommendations ? Am going to try them tonight...

was thinking of Idli and Vadai to start ,
mixed veg curry and kerala fish curry
portion of rice and portion of raita

I took my son to Curry Canteen today, we were really impressed, very tasty curries. £8.50 for
1 onion bhaji
1x Lamb curry
1x Chicken curry
2x veg curry
2x spinach and potato curry
2x rice
2 drinks
The bloke who served us was very friendly and helpful, the only negative was that we were the only people in (at 1pm)

for me its either the butlers (cant remember where that is, went with my dad)
or the mangla
:)

last week we tried the one at crooks, just lower down from pa jewellry, for a indian,ithink its called............majahuna,it was very good the best poppodoms we have ever had, and the food was first class. and it is very clean ,and good comfortable chairs. its a family run restaurant, and we had a nice chat after our meal with the owner and his son cass the waiter. you can take your own wine or beer. we are going tonight just to try other dishes... 10 out of ten.ps the prices are very good

sorry its called.............maharajand it was spot on again

What's the best Indian on or very near to London Road. A few friends are coming down to watch United play Newcastle and we want a decent place.

i love mangla but also rajput on commonside is ace! they now do eat in and take away and royal spiceon south rd is lovely and really good prices

I had a lamb tikka from Rajput a few weeks ago and the lamb was absolutely atrocious -chewy, poor quality meat with little taste to it. And don't even get me started on the chicken korma. NOT good.

My favourites are Jeera at the top of Crookes, Moghul Room on Sharrowvale Road and for takeaway Manzels in Broomhill. Aagrah OK if you want to pay a lot for flashy surroundings and average food. Only been to Cafe Guru once, think food was OK but service terrible. My other half rates Ayesha's on Eccy Rd, but I'm afraid I don't. I've been to East&West once and it was good, keen to go again, just wish the surroundings were a bit nicer (as I don't think dosas lend themselves to being taken away to eat in the comfort of my own living room).

Visited Seven Spices at West Bar on Saturday night my wifes face was class as we went down the stairs (dont think she was very impressed) however how that changed once we were tucking into one of the best curry's ive ever had service was at times slow however this was fine as the placed was packed and we needed the rest between courses. They even gave us free coffee's after nice touch !

Fab place and ill deffo be going back

just two more on my Sheffield list

Mangla
Butlers Balti


I will update once they have been visited

has anyone been to the indian (amraj) at crystal peaks,have heard they have a buffet night on a monday...is this a set time and whats it like x

KHANS on west street all the way best staff you will ever meet and best indian you will ever have and very decant prices.

i think i might try that nirmals

is it expensive?

i think i might try that nirmals

That's brave!

KHANS on west street all the way best staff you will ever meet and best indian you will ever have and very decant prices.

khans is terrible. even worse than balti king IMO. its always empty and their offers reek of desperation.

royal spiceon south rd is lovely and really good prices

Never been too impressed with it - though it now seems to have been taken over and is now called Gandhi... anyone been in recently?

well weve been to maharaga over the hill at crookes opp the spring vale pub and everything was spot on , take your own beer wine if you want/ we had a little bit of a wait because of the phone going none stop for take aways but it was worth it this is our 3rd visit . ps very good value:)

If you like your curry super special and are not bothered about the surroundings, Mangla on Spital Hill is the best in Sheffield by far. Excellent cooking, top ingredients and an open kitchen.

The tables etc are old fashioned formica topped and its very much like a shop takeaway in the front part but ignore that side and give it a go. You wont be disappointed.

p.s. the prices are good too.

So agree - used to unfortunatley live up that way and that was def best thing about the area - Mangala is excellent.
Since moved (thank god!) and found another fab one, Jinnah's at Ecclesfield - highly recommended.

have a look at this..

The best in Sheffield is Nirmals on Glossop Road.

6 years on is it?

aroma on london road is a good place.. nice calm place and good interiors too

Kebabish on Wicker, been there several times and never been disappointed.

Takeaway: Bilash Tandoori House in Hunter's Bar on Sharrow Vale Road. My parents have been going there for the past 20 years! Lovely food and great service!

Restaurant with a diverse range: Estikutum in Attercliffe on Staniforth Road. Been there just today and it's the new management are doing a great job! Lovely food and great service!

the Indus restaurant in attercliffe has got to be best! been goin their for over 15 years never had a bad meal.. lovely food, service and staff.

Akbars, all the way! There Naan bread is to die for x

got to agree but i believe its well over 20 and still the same family and head chef

I would always choose Cafe Guru (just off west street), the food is authentic and comes highly recommended.
