Old Sheffield restaurants

Recommended Posts

I think the 'Indus' in Fitzalan Square had to be one of the first Indian restaurants in Sheffield. I recall an Indian (name I never knew)one being on Attercliffe Common across from the old Pavilion Cinema near Leigh Street and that was there in 1958.

 

Are you on about the Islamabad restaurant? It was located bang opposite where the new Attercliffe police station is now.

Thank you mafya, as I say I don't recall the name of the place and I'm sure it was further east towards Leigh Street from Whitworth Lane (Police station). However place long gone now and I'm talking 1958 and I was eleven ! The site that you are referring to was between Newark Street and Frank Place only yards from where I thought, so you might be right.

I used to work at Davey's many moons ago. There were several floors with differing service. The top floor was ultra posh the next was silver service and the ground floor was self service and downstairs was a grill. I worked in the self service and we were allowed lunch and that was my 1st ever taste of tomato sausage ( still love it now! ). they used to serve it with a pool of fresh tomato sauce and the pork sausage with apple sauce! classy place.

 

My Grandma was a cook there,if it's the same one,didn't they get done for selling Horse meat. My uncle owned Fredricks Pork butchers, best tomato sausage ever

I remember having a meal in there in its first week. They were certainly out to make an impression. The number of waiters just walking around the tables was unbelievable and there were dozens of yucca plants all over the place.

Not really a restaurant but seeing as we are in Woodseats - does anyone remember 765 a coffee bar on the opposite of the road to Medios? Maybe in between the Chantry and the Woodseats Hotel.

maybe wrong , but I thought the nameless was on the lane behind The Mulberry Tavern . The only reason I remember this is because an old mate of mine in a drunken stupor thought it was called Nammellis

Does anyone remember Just Cooking on Carver Street between 1978 and 1989? John and Brian were the owners.

The Question was INDIAN RESTAURANT and SPRITE is right by saying the ORIENTAL on Langsett rd. I went there with friends when I was 17 in 1962 and it had been open during the 1950s.......so there!!!!

My grandad talks about an Indian restaurant on London Road, late 40s,im sure he said it was in a shoe box, later moving to a hole in the road nearby. So there.
