spicey   10 #13 Posted July 4, 2008 Tesco are the Evil Empire. They're now concentrating their efforts on ethnic shops and have Indo-Pakistani and Polish sections.  Don't let them take over everything and support your local shops. I always used Shah's on Abbeydale Road for my Indian cookery supplies. They have an amazing range and are cheap too. They've been there forever, well at least back to the 70's  One of my favourite Sheffield shops  I know but they sell everything I want to buy under one roof so what can I do? I'm particular about brands too: only Kohinoor basmati will do (if Tesco hadn't started supplying it I would still be getting it from parents) and chappati flour is freshly milled stuff that comes from a small shop in Kingsbury.  Does Shah's also have a halal meat section? The reason I ask is because I avoid such shops as the smell makes me puke. If they don't, I might actually start going. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Alastair   12 #14 Posted July 5, 2008 No, Shah's is just groceries, no butchers section. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
megh55555 Â Â 10 #15 Posted February 24, 2010 I wouldnt really suggest Shah's considering expired products for sale and a really unhealthy place to buy stuff. I suggest Cash and Carry along Abbey Dale road (almost opposite Spar).. Another place is Yasmin around Eclessal Road.. Which I would say is the best place to buy indian masalas.

neeeeeeeeeek   10 #18 Posted February 24, 2010 Walk down past the markets, along the Wicker, under the Wicker arches and up the hill. LOADS of shops which should sell everything you need. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

frank ryan   10 #24 Posted December 5, 2010 get yourself up here to sharrow/london rd - munir's on southview rd is legendary and if you're lucky, you'll be served by yasmin who is either the friendliest or the most hostile shopkeeper in the world depending on what mood she's in - there are also loads of halal butchers selling good fresh meat and chicken without resort to polystyrene or clingfilm usually on the day of slaughter.
