Which is your favourite?

For a good Cheap one - I like Indiana on London Rd
Bit more up market - Mohul at Totley is good

The trouble is with Indian Resturants is that I find them a bit inconsistant. Sometimes they are great other times they are not so good from the same place....can't understand it.

We go to Hakims on London Road, eat in or takeaway. The prices are okay, but they are inconsistent sometimes... but then, so are most places (they must have different staff on weekends to week days?) - our local chippy has good days and bad, but it always seems like we choose the bad days!

Everest, Chesterfield Road, Heeley, is very good - heard good reports about Dil Shad on the Dale at Woodseats but never been !

Everest is good yes. Twice I have been there and I haven't been disappointed so far.

The best in Sheffield is Nirmals on Glossop Road.

Shapla at the bottom of the Moor is by far the best in Sheffield.

I not sure I can agree with you there. I had a bad experience there once.

is by far the best. It consistently gets mentioned in the sunday broadsheets as well, as the way Indian restaraunts should be run.

Make sure you take Nirmal's advice.

butlers balti house (broad lane) and jaflong (crookes) are the best i've been to.

Yeah....bloody good place Nirmals. Is the Kashmir on Spital Hill still going?

I find the Bilash in sharrowvale is very good, i even get a xmas card

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.

..............................

yeah i agree mate... they are a little inconsistent... sometimes it maybe amazing... and another day... maybe not as good... or may have not lived up to expectations

:shock:

Mangla any day. They deliver too. This is your real Indian food, not something made out of tomato soup from the Indiana.

Yes, the Kashmir is still very much open (although no longer on Sunday nights) and unbeatable for quality and value IMHO, on the value front not least cos you bring your own booze (e.g. Timmy T's Landlord in a 4 pint jug from the marvellous pub over the road)

Been to Nirmals and Vijays (Nirmals bleeding loads of times). They are both very good, but Nirmals is a tad pricey.

The Kashmir, for my money. I find the Boston Strangler (Mangla) a tad too hot, not that I don't like hot food, but not every dish.

I was very suprised by Vijays, I went there on a work do and was dreading a plate of slop as it's a town i.e after a skin full type place..full marks

andyb

I agree with the majority that Nirmals is the best Indian food in Sheffield. You get what you pay for!!:banana:

I know it's not a conventional restaurant but any curry lovers visiting Meadowhall should try the Shere Khan Express.
The cuisine is tasty and authentic. It's an offshoot of the successful Shere Khan restaurant in Manchester.
I wish they would open one up in Sheffield too.:)

How else do you afford to run a restaurant on Glossop Road AND drive an S-Class :lol:

1Man&HisBMW

I would also give Gulshan Balti House on The Wicker a go, decent food and priced well.

Thing about sheffield is, unlike Wilmslow Road in Manchester you just have to pick the best of a bad bunch. Anybody who had been to any of the number of established restaurants in Manchester will know what I mean. They have it down to a fine art in getting their cuisine 110% every time, and if not you will always get it replaced for free without questions.

1Man&HisBMW

Has to be Vijays for me..

I'm a Walkers Crisps winner!!!!

In order to claim my free main dish I must go to a partcipating curry house of chinese. The Almas Indian Brasserie (in Dore) is clostest to me. Anyone know what it's like?

Its very good, but a little pricey.

Never had Indian food !!!

Deli Junction
Wicked

I've not had a curry for ages and ages and was just reading the "curry help" thread....

So what do you think is the best curry restaurant, and which is the best takeaway?

best restaurant: Id say the Bombay (just off west street). Never had a bad meal there. And takeaway, I like Rasheeds (manor top).

See this post (http://www.sheffieldforum.co.uk/showthread.php?threadid=486&highlight=best+indian) Mike maybe a mod could merge them

:thumbsup:

Ah cheers for that, didn't see it - I searched on curry rather than Indian - prolly best to delete this thread mods!

I always avoid calling them Indian restaurants because I believe (correct me if I'm wrong here) that a large proportion of them are actually Bangladeshi ?

I think you are right, the majority are Bangladeshi's or Pakistani's.

Threads merged. Thanks.

When I went to Nirmals with some friends Nirmal was really pushy trying to sell us more and more food. We hadn't gone to eat loads, we just wanted a normal sized meal. We were asked if we wanted coffee 4 times! The answer was no btw. She did manage to palm off some mangoes though. I wont be going again, all this made the atmosphere quite oppressive.

A1 Balti-its a takeway or sit in an eat, wicked food nice an warm,wont let u down,try A1 taxis also very reliable.

now aslo couple of doors away check the itlaian restaurant 'la dolce vita' its lovely.

all on abbeydale rd have fun*

Kharns on West Street is always good on a Friday night :)
You know that when you stumble out of the door after 28 pints you don't have to go far for a taxi:D

You knew it had to come up at some point didn’t you! Well . . in your honest opinion, where is THE best curry sold? Loads of people I know in Sheffield always rate Mangla on Spital Hill. I’ve been there a few times myself and must admit the taste of lamb bhuna & chicken tikka with pilau rice is impressive. It’s an open kitchen so you can actually see them cooking it fresh. Making me mouth water already!

This is probably odd to everyone else but I hate curry lol!

The Bombay, just off West Street (near the Frog and Parrot) is the best one Ive ever had. the place doesnt look like much, but dont let that put you off, the foods fantastic.

I've got to go with the bombay as well,the foods always been spot on there.Plus its on my doorstep!! :)

I'd have to say the Balti King up Broomhill. One because the food was lovely and two because it's the only one i've been to! :lol:

Caprice! LOL!! . . Are you one of these people who phones in when theres a phone vote 'YES', 'NO', 'I DON'T KNOW' and choose 'I dont know'?

definitely Jannath's takeaway just off west street!!

Well, I still think you can't beat the Kashmir on Spital Hill for value and you can get your beer over the road(East House)
Had a great balti in Butlers Balti on Broad Lane the other night-loads of veggie options too.
Anyone know if it is true that it used to be a famous tea rooms called Butlers that once hosted a famous artist such as Picasso or Dali? One of the older members of our curry party wasn't sure who?

2 threads merged.

Your all wrong! (apart from the person that said the Mangla). Thats by far the best Indian Restaurant in Sheffield.

Nirmals is a rip off where they charge you extra and always rush you. The broadsheet thing was back in the 80's when it was by far the best.

If you want expensive but very tasty try the Ashoka on Eccy road. the owner has a very impressive gut.

You have to go somewhere else, anywhere, no matter how bad because this IS the worse curry house in Sheffield. Been once only (and not through choice , someone elses) and i will never go again. It is a place for students who have never tasted curry before and want to try something not too different. It is not even worth it when they put the adverts out that they are doing 2 - 4 - 1 offer. Absolutely gross.

And they own Millenium across the road, which is just a bad. Some of that food in the window looks like it has been there forever. And did it not get closed down not long after it opened????? (i think they did balti king too???)

If you want expensive but very tasty try the Ashoka on Eccy road. the owner has a very impressive gut.

I agree, very impressive food. The Ambar further up the road toward the Banner Cross is also quite good.

Mangla is also a winner for me!

Caprice! LOL!! . . Are you one of these people who phones in when theres a phone vote 'YES', 'NO', 'I DON'T KNOW' and choose 'I dont know'?

Don't laugh at the blondness... :D At least I don't have curry breath!!! lol!

Try the New India Garden on Chesterfield Road Heeley. Always had a good meal in there. Very nice staff and they have at least one high chair. (Try panneer dishes)

For a meal after a night out The Bombay just off West Street is very very reasonable and more than edible Mr Khan (owner) also has Khans on West Street if you want to pay more. Staff often interchange between two resturants. (Try spinich dishes)

Oh yeah,

I tried Balti King twice. Not too good first time, second made me ill! Some time ago now but you won't catch me in there nor the millenium! Avoid at all reasonable costs!

Restaurants:

JAFLONG - Northfield Rd - dare I say by far the best in Sheff
BUTLERS BALTI HOUSE - Brook Hill / Jessops - a close 2nd

Takeways:

JAFLONG
BILASH - Sharrowvale Rd
MANZIL - Broomhill, nr old KFC

Avoid:

Balti King - Broomhill

Overrated:

Shapla, Nirmals, Kashmir

I think the Indian Chef on Crookes is actully better than the Jaflong recently.

Manzil is good for a take away though.

The only problem I have with the Indian Chef is that some of the tables are too close.

Got to say Butlers Balti House is one of the best,but the Induz at Attercliffe runs it a close second for me.

The 7 Spices at West Bar is very good. Has quite a different style of decor.

Totally agree 7 spices is great, staff are friendly too, been quite a few times and never been disappointed

Went to the Bombay last night,great meal as always and good value for money. Got stella on tap to.:D :partyhat:

Where is the Butlers Balti house located? I've been to Induz on 2 occasions and wasn't disappointed.

Butlers is on Broad Lane, near the uni roundabout, opposite the old Jessops. It was good but i haven't been for a while. Beer in the Red Deer before hand a good idea too.

I do like Mangla. It's good, honest and affordable, tast Indian food.

But I'd only go there with friends, the surroundings aren't condusive to a more "intimate" night out :lol:

I know we have just had the best chippy debate but which Indian restaurant tickles peoples taste buds? I am/was a big Khans (west street) fan but have been disappointed last couple of times so I am looking for a couple of alternatives!

ive heard that everest is good
but i havnt been there yet

Is that the one next to the 80s bar?

I have a lovely lamb saag in there a few years back, which has never been bettered.

Although, I did fall asleep in the toilets so I'm not sure if it was all a dream...

Everest was dire the last time I went.
I went to Deli Junction last week and that has gone downhill a bit too, though the prices have stayed very high.

I think Induz in Attercliffe and Nirmals on Glossop Road are the best.

Always enjoy an Everest.
Got to say i have genuinly found their staff to be amongst the most helpfull and freindly of any restuarant i've been in.

Though like anywhere i suspect they lose patience with people who've had 20 pints fall asleep whilst their mates balance popadoms on their heads. But then i think we all would.:)

Also think that Everest is one of the finest places in Sheffield, staff seem fine every time I go in and the food is always of a consistantly high standard. 7 Spice in West Bar also very nice.

I live in within a poppodom's throw away from The Everest, but prefer The New India Garden just further down the road from it.

me and my partner go to the alhameer near don valley stadium on retford road i think well woth a visit gr8 meals at a reasonable price too happy noshing steve ....

Threads merged, thanks.

I did do a search for this, but couldn't find much, so are asking the nation, erm, of Sheffield :)

What is your favourite / the best place to go for a curry, in Sheffield on a Saturday evening? And are there such things as 'all you can eat' curry places lol!

I have two favourites; The Everest on Chesterfield Road and The Dilshad on Woodseats.

Both reasonably priced and good food.

There are eat as much as you like Indian Restaurants, but I am not sure which days they operate the deals.

My favourite is Jaflong on Crookes

Cha Cha's on Fitzwilliam St is "all you can eat" - the food is good too.

cha chas is good for an all you can eat

I did go to everest quite a bit on chesterfield road but since Momtaz has opened a little further along Ive not been anywhere else....amazing food and Im always amazed how cheap it is.

elinas on sharrow vale road (and their take away partner tandoori curry house on ecclesall road) is very good :)

Originally posted by HarrietStar

In with you on that one- its number 3 on my phone speed dial list ;)

Now this is what I call a thread!

Everest on Chessy Rd is top banana. Also is the one opposite Bar Matrix in town (i forget it's name) is very good.

Used to absolutely adore "curry tonight"... they do free delivery only... no pickup and can use them from anywhere in Sheffield! Online menu too but...

The food though has gone downhill and haven't used em for a god while now cos of it!

My personal favourite curry house is the Shapla at the bottom of the moor the food is beautiful and its an authentic indian restaurant even down to the flock wallpapaer and the indian murals on the walls pure class.

Have a munch on this (http://www.sheffieldforum.co.uk/showthread.php?s=&threadid=486&highlight=best+curry)

New India Garden on Chesterfield Road is my fave.

I agree about Curry Tonight, it used to be great, but the last three we had were vile - all of the bombay potatoes were black. Bleurgh!

I really like SBs in town too - very good lime pickle.

Mangla on spital hill is still my favourite. The Riverside do a all you can eat curry night on Thursdays I think.

The Seven Spices at West Bar is good.

The new one opposite Netto in Walkley looks a bit poor from the outsde, but the food is good.

But, do not ever go to Balti King in Broomhill. Its disgusting. One of the sauses that came with the popudoms was ketchup with onions in it.

I like Nirmals on West Street and Induz in Attercliffe.
I used to like the one on Division Street, where RSVP is now, it had a big pink plastic fountain in the middle of the dining area, classy :)

The best curry house? Couldn't tell you, I've not been to them all.

My favourite is the 7 Spices at West Bar, always friendly, food always tastes and smells fresh...a bit more expensive than other places but it's always good quality.

Took a friend there who had been out of the country for a while and my father (the guy who introduced me to curries in the first place) and they both proclaimed the meal to be the best curry either of them had eaten in years.

Tried the Kashmir on Spital Hill ?

Cheap, friendly and the best in sheff

MOD: Threads merged. Thanks for the link Andy :)

The one on Division street where RSVP is now, was Anila's. The people who owned that own Vijays I think

There is a FANTASTIC new restaurant in sheffield that offers an indian buffet - the food is very good quality and not a bad rpice. There is a restaurant upstairs and bar downstairs. The decor is modern but not unfriendly and its a nice place to chill - but the main thing is the lovely food!

Its Cha Chas on devonshire green (next to where Mad Greeks used to be)

Haven't read every reply to this but Kebabish on the Wicker is consistently good. Yes it's just a quick serve cafe but the food is good and cheap. Also Zaika/Zilka behind the back of Banners building in Attercliffe is fab. Dahl and breads superb. Again cafe style & only open until 8pm.

It'd have to be the Kashmir on Spital Hill for me too.
Brilliant and affordable food and the owner is so funny. It looks pretty rubbish from outside, but I'd rather have good food and no pretentious table clothes.

Make sure you take Nirmal's advice. and she will always steer you to the most expensive things on the menu.I live in glagow now and when I come home I go to the mangla on spital hill every time.Try the lambchop curry.

that one on Spital Hill is amazing! proper hospitality as well......certainly a no frills kind of place but the food is fantastic.
whatever happened to Indiana and Mr. Khan? disappeared after a very dubious take over and when the owd lad was still running it there seemed to be some very strange things going on towards the end...(was he forced out??) a true gent if ever I've met one

not Indian food related but Curry.
Has anybody tried Baan Thai at the end of London Rd & was it any good.

looking for something different for valentines instead of the usual Italians.

Wouldnt call Thai food "curry" but its "foreign" I suppose... anyway....

Baan Thai is good for a night out - teh food is good and you get a sense of occasion as the restuarant is quite large with lots of trimmings

Food wise - I think the Inter Siam further up London rd is better - but not so plush a resturant

Got to be Ranmoor tandoori for me. U can eat in or take away and the food is fab :clap:

My favorite is Ayeshas in Dronfield (next door but one to Fat Sams!)

Stunning inside, decor and furnitures lovely, great service and friendly staff.

Foods is always fresh and delicious, i try to have something different each time i go, they do really nice crispy onion bhajis!

If your too full to eat any more and theres some spare, ask them to doggy bag it up 4 you, there more than happy too! :clap:

-x-

The Clay Oven on Oakbrook Road. It's a bit tucked away but walking distance for me and never disappointing with delightful service. I'd also have to agree with those who said the Mangla, Kahsmir and Elinas. Ashoka is OK but a bit on the expensive side. I love curry!!!

Mangla is the best tasting in my opinion, but I'm not a fan of Spital Hill; for the middle class set going for a meal I have never had a bad curry in Ayesha's on Ecclesall Road, but the portions are small and expensive, but I have to say b****y tasty ........ but my personal favourite for value and taste, is still the Gulshan on the Wicker (especially for after away matches!!). Cheap, cheerful, no bar so a lot less rowdy, the local Bengali and Pakistani community use it a lot, plentiful food and well done. Surroundings are a little, basic, but who cares? It's the food you want.

Admittedly not been down there for ages .........

Luv 'n' peace G xxx

Got to be either the Induz on Attercliffe common or the Mangala on Spital hill. All the others I've tried (and that's quite a lot)range from reasonable to crap in terms of quality and prices.
Never had a bad one from the two named above.

I'll second Induz and Mangla, esp Mangla, its the closest thing to proper Asian cooking in the city in my opinion!!!

mmmmmmm Mangla!!!!

Liz

Khans on West St does it for me everytime!!

mmmmmm Chicken tikka curry :D :P :thumbsup:

what happened to the Balti Hut that used to be at Hunters Bar - we went on holiday and it disappeared while we were away - it was there about 5 years ago. the guy who ran it was called Zaf and it was a BYO - it was brilliant. Someone out there must know where it went!!!!

The most important thing to take onboard here is NEVER, NEVER EVER eat at The Balti King unless you enjoy being bed ridden for a week with serious food poisoning. They also run the Millennium Take Away in Broomhill, which serves to dispose of left overs from the Balti King- hence the suspiciously cheap prices. I once ordered a chicken Kebab which was actually some random chicken curry in a nan bread- it actually had bits of spinach etc in it!!? They have also had a number of warnings from Enviro Health for mice crap in the kitchens.
Prob no mice crap in the Balti Kng kitchens as they seem to torch the place periodically....

Quite simply the best Indian is the Amraj at Crystal Peaks. Unbelievable

Just wanted to advise people that last night we had food from Rasheeds at Manor Top. This wasn't just the worst Indian food but the worst take away EVER. I am not usually in the habit of leaving food when we go to the expense of buying in, and my husband NEVER leaves food on his plate, but last night we both left the food it was SO awful. I can't even begin to describe what we were eating. The chicken Tikka Masala looked like it had had a fight with a bottle of red food colouring and lost. The mushoom rice had what we can only think of as tinned mushrooms in they had no taste at all and the texture well *?!. The onion bahji's were undescribable, the nan was burnt. I would be interested to see what other peoples views on this place are (if you have dared to try it). In future we will be sticking to the Little India at Gleadless Town End.

Hello there,

Went to The Indian Chef in Crookes last night. Had a rather lovely Ceylon there and not too expensive either (considering we are all students!) Definate recommendation.

Christoff

Had a great curry at Butlers Balti opposite Jessops last night.Top notch.

try cafe guru on westfield terrace, i went last week for a mates birthday and it was great, the food was great and the interior is quite modern and trendy, wasn't to expensive either. much better than the human zoo that is khans anyway.

Mangla's got rats.
Mind you, it kept my foot warm during dinner.
Pity really cos their food is great.
I just can't face a return visit.

Try Eskitinum on Staniforth Rd the new buffet place. Very nice place and very nice food. All you can eat :wow: for £7.90

Cha-cha's is an all you can eat buffet and there's a late licence bar straight downstairs too.. Am biased though..

My two pen'th:

Mangla = good'n'cheap with the added interest of getting your drinks from over the road

Nirmals = good'n'expensive (try the parsnip curry you'll be surprised)

New India Garden = very good'n'surprisingly good value with some more unusual (less common) dishes and curryntly (see what I did there?) my favorite.

Let's play the Resurrect An Old Thread Game :)

I need a good Indian restaurant for a birthday meal for my Dad, so nothing too lairy, and I might struggle to get him into town to somewhere like the Bombay Duck (sorry, Café Guru ;))

The default choice is The Delhi Junction for good reason but it's a year or so since I've been so what's like these days? Is there anywhere else that's reared its head recently that might make a change?

I went to Jeera the new one on Crookes last night, and i have to say it was OK but not as good as Jaflong or Indian Chef.

What's the Jalfong and Indian Chef like, always wanted to try them.

IMO Cafe Guru is faultless.

I've been twice now and the food is on another level to any other indian I've eaten in Sheffield.

The best Indian meal I've ever had was on my birthday at Saffron Club on Glossop Rd, you've got to try their pashrari rice, its to die for

What's the Jalfong and Indian Chef like, always wanted to try them.

They are ok. Nowt posh or owt but the food is good and you can take your own into the Indian Chef from the Ball across the road. (and it does help when its 5 mins from the house)

My friend swears by Jaflong, i intend to try it out with him one of the days. Me ahnd him used to love the mangla. My self think that a number of places have court up on price and its variable quality and some time stupid hot food is not the VFM bargin it once was.

The last meal i had there was poor.

Is the gulshan any good? might try that.


But at the moment my local Momtaz is brill. As cheap as the mangla but very nice food. Beats the spots of the NEW india garden , and everest.

You could try the new Jumeriah on London Rd

Nice prices / nice decor / not licenced so it does a good range of juices and lassi

They are ok. Nowt posh or owt but the food is good and you can take your own into the Indian Chef from the Ball across the road. (and it does help when its 5 mins from the house)

Thanks :thumbsup:

Manglas been refurbished and looks classy now. The food is still as amazing as ever. Still tops my list of curry houses in Sheffield :thumbsup:

Close second comes Mumtaz on Chesterfield road which I've just discovered.. very tasty food, very reasonably priced and fantastic, very friendly service.

Hi,

So does the Indian Chef definately have a 'bring your own' licence? That would be cool for making a meal out a little more 'budget'.

Also, I had heard that Royal Spice in Walkley does this too, can anyone confirm that?

Vijays is devine, so is Ranmoor tandory and theres one on Spital hill that lets you bring in beer from the pub across the road, forgot what it's called now.

I would recommend Ambar on Eccy Road, near Banner Cross. My landlord owns it and the food is excellent. Very friendly staff too:thumbsup:

taste of india bradfield road is the best value indian resturant in town the food is cooked to perfection and is very consistent you will not be dissapointed here give it a try i do 2 to 3 times a week

mohul at totley rise go sunday night nice n quite good portions mid price range just had a refit very nice cant fault been going 20 years

We use a takeaway on Firth Park Road at Fir Vale. The Eastern Eye is unbelievably cheap and great food. Their curries are superb.They sell burgers and southern chicken too. Where else can you get cheeseburger and chips for £1??? :love::thumbsup:

rajput by a mile..and im pretty sure the bombay is now cafe guru..

Been trying to find a great Indian since moving up from down south. Tried Manglas last night. Fresh ingredients and pretty good but not fantastic. Is there a decent indian in Sheffield. I like Akbars in York, not been to the Rotheram branch yet (I live South of Sheffield). I prefer Akorahs (sp?) to Manglas. There must be a great Indian in Sheff? Maybe one that serves authentic Indian ?

went to Mangla last night. was not overly impressed. my chicken jalfrazi was ok but my friends chicken tikka massala was bland-not very nice. It was cheap though as it is bring your own alcohol. Less than a tenner each for atarters, curry rice and shared nann.

I have enjoyed shapla-at bottom of moor. Saffron club on west st, and Bangla cottage in hillsborough.

Im an indian cuisine conniseur (i like to think) and there isn't a truly amazing indian anywhere in sheffield, which is a crying shame considering the size of the place, everest on chesterfield road is the best of a bad bunch, closely followed by Chilli lodge at silkstone common which is really barnsley, for a take away bengal spice at stocksbridge gets our custom, my wifes from the midlands the curries down there are outta this world.

Gulshan on the Wicker is much better than the Mangla and has been for years.

Such a shame that a city like sheffield cant have a truly great indian restaurant. Will have to go back to cooking my own!

My son loves the Indus on Attercliffe. I personally find Ayeshas on Ecclesall Road excellent

zeenats on the cliffe ,excellant chicken jalfrezi

Indus is tops!

are these great standard English curries or great authentic Indian food with maybe some modern twists. Sorry to sound so pompus but all the places I have been to so far are standard fare of varying quality, freshness and flavour. Nothing I would rush back to and some I wouldn't bother with again. Curry faves is all very subjective but I suprised there is nothing along the lines I mentioned.

I agree, curries like most foods are subjective...hence the numerous 'twists on a theme ' type curries seen on menus in 'anglasised indian ' restaurants that we find today.
If you were to visit any authentic place in the sub continent you would find on the menu either ,chicken ,meat,a veg of some description or any other item and thats it...no madras,kurma,vindaloo or any other exotic description etc etc.
The so called strengh of curry in that place would be pretty uniform ...any extra 'strengh' is varied by way of having a hot green chili sauce or going the other way,having some home made yougurt.
We at the curry canteen have set out our stall as an authentic curry experience,where we only cook 4 or 5 dishes each day...no more...we do not use the gravy pot system (again anglasised) but cook each dish with full integrity from the beginning.

I never tried Indian do u think it's nice?

Dilshads gotta be the best. Love that place; and the waiters offer good service.

Had a good one at Cheman on the Wicker the other day - the Mango Lassis were well nice - and top notch service!

I have exactly the same meal at every Indian i go to (im a fussy eater, have found something i like, so ill stick with it!)....
couple of popadoms first, then a seekh kebab starter, chicken tikka main course (chicken tikka pieces - i.e a dry meal, cooked in the clay oven - NOT a curry!), with pilau rice and garlic naan.
have sampled this same meal in quite a few indians in sheff, on several occasions in each restaurant, heres my top 3 -

1. Sahibs (west street) - Excellent service, gorgeous food + decent portions, reasonable price.
2. Akhbars - Poor service both times i went (felt like we were being rushed, and the waiters got order wrong both times), but very very nice food and reasonably priced, great atmosphere in there too.
3. Aagraas (or however you spell it!) - Good service, nice food, just very poor on portions! priced about the same as Akhbars but half as much food. very nice atmosphere in there though.
