Hi, My fiancee and I are visiting Sheffield on the 27th July to the 31st July and we love indian food. What is the best Indian Restaurant to goto in Sheffield? We are staying near the Sheffield arena.

Hi

There are millions of indians in sheff i think everyone has there own favourite but i think 7 spices balti , ( 120 Mayfair Court, West Bar, ) is very nice .

its easy to get to from town , has a great menu and is open late so you can get plenty of drinking in before hand:gag:

hope you have a great weekend in sheff !!!

Oh one other thing stay well clear of Balti King unless your into projectile vomiting its terrible .

I recomend Al Ameer, its near the Hallam FM arena and there are plenty of pubs nearby to pop in to for a quick few. :thumbsup:

I LOVE Everest on Chesterfield Road. Soooooooooo tasty & some pubs close by too.
:thumbsup:

Nirmals on West Street or The Ranmoor Tandoori in er... Ranmoor :suspect:

Ive always wanted to try Nirmals, but never been. Are they pretty good then?? 9 out of 10 times I end up in Khans after a session :bigsmile:

Yeah I love it, just make sure you order what you want, not what she wants you to order... Ol' Nirmal can be a bit forceful :hihi: She's very suggestive as to the dishes you should try :P

Gorgeous grub tho :D

Thats the same one that kept me off work for 4 weeks with salmonella poisoning. My personal favourite used to be the Bombay, but thats now closed and changed to Cafe Guru, which I havent tried yet. Current favourite is Mumtaz, on Chesterfield Road, near the retail park.

My recommendation would be Ashoka on Ecclesall Road, never disappoints, top quality ingredients.
Nice, friendly patron!!

hmm i went to nirmals, soo expensive! food wasnt all that either. sweet centre in rotherham is veryyyyyyyyy nice! food is really tasty

Thanks Deejay, I will have to try them very soon, im dying for a curry!!! :thumbsup:

My fave is the Am-raj at drake house (opp the ribs place). Lovely food though the new restaurant is a bit lacking in atmosphere.

I love Sahib's on West Street.

Stay clear after 11ish on a weekend though if you don't like rowdy curry houses!

7 Spices Balti at West Bar comes highly recommended, has some interesting dishes not just run of the mill stuff.

For cafe atmosphere we like Kebabish on the Wicker fab melting pot of cultures customer wise and lovely food.

I think the only *Indian* restaurant in Sheffield is Nirmals - all the others are Pakistani or Bangladeshi run - I'd love a decent southern or Gujurati Indian veggie place to open up like Bobby's in Leicester.

Isn't Gulshan (on the Wicker) an actual INDIAN restaurant? I've not been myself but I'm told it's great. I thought Sahib was Indian too, and that's nice, but a bit pricey.

Once jumped in a taxi and asked to go to "Gulshan" on the Wicker. The driver got excited by this, proclaiming loudly: "People who know curry, they know Gulshan". High praise indeed. Rightfully so. High quality food.

try mangla on spital hill - I GUARANTEE THERE IS NO BETTER INDIAN FOOD IN SHEFFIELD

Oh but there is....DIL SHAD at Woodseats....they do a buffet night the first Monday of every month too!!!

Excellent food I wouldn't go anywhere else!!



:thumbsup:

been to the mangla many a time after a drunken night out, very nice food...

suprised no one has mentioned Zeenats in Attercliffe, thats bang next to Don Valley (not far from the arena)

Nirmals is great, a bit on the expensive side, but worth it.

Mangla and Cashmeir

When I was a veggie I'd say Kashmir on spital hill every time.

Now Im back to being a carnivore - Everest for the win!!

The Mangla is very nice indeed.

The Indian Chef up in Crookes (opposite the Ball Inn) is my favourite - if a little cramped...Try the Lamb Madras and Bombay Aloo. Not traditional recipes, but still gorgeous.
