Southern Indian food in Sheffield

Recommended Posts

Well things have changed in the 10 years since I first posted - there's at least 5 places now in Sheffield that I can get a Masala Dosa

 

 

which do you like best? What do you make of urban choola?

They are all quite different - I think Mavili on Glossop Rd has the nicest food and most restaurant like. Rama's Bridge is bit hit n miss. I've enjoyed East West as a cafe/take away, Arusuvai hs a lot of character but can be a bit random. I tried out the new take away on Ecclesall and really enjoyed their doss's. I haven't yet been to the one at the bottom of the Moor yet.

 

I quite like Urban Choola - but I thought it was north indian style food?

 

Great that Sheffield is starting to have more choice food wise though :)

East & West (got renamed to something totally forgettable for a while but think its gone back to the good old East & West name everyone round here knew before) and Arusuvai (formerly Dhanistas) both on Abbeydale Rd, fantastic food and the staff can't do enough for you. Theres an Arusuvai in Hillsborough as well, can't comment if the foods to the same standard as I've not been

I went past my favourite place yesterday Sai Nivas on Cumberland St. Looks like it was some kind of bankrupt stock outlet. Great food in there but always seemed to struggle to fill tables.

Rama's Bridge in Crookes is Sri Lankan/South Indian. But recently changed owners and chefs and wasn't as good as it used to be.

Do you have that dilemma when you go to a South Indian restaurant where you think to yourself "I should have something other than a masala dosa for a change" and deliberate for a bit before having a masala dosa anyway?

 

I second the shouts for Sai Nivas and Maveli, both very good.

No dilemma there: dosas make an excellent mid-meal snack between starter and main course...

 

Hasn't Sai Nivas recently closed?

Often about that size but Maveli used to do a nice family dosa about 3 feet long...

Hi Guys

 

We have just opened a new South Indian restaurant -two states at Hillsborough- we are mainly focusing on Kerala state and Andra state food which is quite different to Arusuvai and Rama's .We have been open for a month now and we are in the top 5 Indian restaurant in sheffield.

 

It will be really nice if you guys could visit us and give a honest reply about the food ,since I have got my South Indian chef from our restaurant in Dubai

 

Looking forward to some comments and reviews

 

Thank you :)
