Spoon (Woodseats) - Sally Dore - 18th June 2013

Rating:

First visit for lunch. A very friendly, laid back place. Excellent food at good prices. The cheesecake was to die for. I only just managed to fit it in!

I will be back to this excellent, clean and friendly place with great food. Thank you for the brilliant service, compliments to the chef.

Koh-I-Noor (Handsworth) - Anthony Ali - 17th June 2013

Rating:

I have been several times to Koh-I-Noor and have always enjoyed the food and service.

We went in a large party (20) last time for my mother's birthday and everybody enjoyed the food, and the service was excellent. They made a real fuss of the birthday girl. The manager giving free wine with the meal.

I recommend the buruchi lamb!

Angelo Cerrone's (Ecclesfield) - Jane Dolby - 11th June 2013

Rating:

Great atmosphere, friendly staff and always great consistent food. Good price and great offers.

My family travel over an hour from outside Sheffield to visit us and always insist on going to Cerrone's, it's that good.

Highly recommended.

Cafe Nova (Meadowhall Shopping Centre) - Lily - 11th June 2013

Rating:

First, I have to say this restaurant is most worst in Meadowhall! The food is so tiny portion, and with so higher price... and the service is awful! Because we are Chinese!? I could say this restaurant is most worst, bad experience of my life!

Peacock Inn (Owler Bar) - Suzanne Rogers - 1st June 2013

Rating:

Booked a table and the menu looked fab. Got there and were shown to our table straight away.

Unfortunately, after half an hour we were still sat waiting, having been ignored by 3 members of staff - including what looked like manageress. Decided to leave - told the waiters - who were apologetic but it wasn't even THAT busy. Such a shame.

Went down the road to the Cross Scythes where the menu didn't look as exciting but the service was excellent. Know where we will go in future.

Peacock Inn (Owler Bar) - Barnaby Knowles - 28th May 2013

Rating:

The pub has changed hands since the last reviews were written and my experience dining there was positive.

I ate with a party of 7 on a Friday night. There were a few other tables dining that evening but the pub wasn't busy.

Service was friendly and prompt, and the food appeared to be homemade, or at least not just warmed up in the microwave. No complaints about the meal from any of our party.

Al Taj (Walkley) - Heather Hatton - 23rd May 2013

Rating:

Great restaurant! The food here was fantastic, me and my boyfriend both had the set menu meal for 1, which is such good value as it comes with a poppadom and pickle tray, a choice of any starter, a main curry dish and either a rice or a nan, all for £9. It also has a large range of curries to choose from. I had the chicken rezala which was beautiful, as the chicken was so tender.

The service was also good, the waiter was very polite and made sure that our food was OK during every course.

All in all, Al Taj is great restaurant with great prices.

Hestia (Crookes) - Helen Mathers - 19th May 2013

Rating:

Hestia has a special menu night about once a month. We went on 18th May when the menu was Turkish and there was also brilliant entertainment in the form of a belly dancer!

The food kept coming, with seven separate courses all freshly prepared and all delicious. It was a really relaxed evening when we did not mind having to wait sometimes for the next course, as we were having such a good time. Also very good value, especially as you bring your own wine and no corkage is charged.

We plan to go back and take some friends.

El Paso (City Centre) - Robert & Joanne - 18th May 2013

Rating:

I Googled "Mexican food Sheffield" and found El Paso, what a result!

The food is excellent in value, quality, taste, and presentation. The portion size is more than ample and there is a good selection on the menu. The restaurant is clean modern and has a great atmosphere too, staff are very friendly and can't do enough for you. I will be going back, thanks for a fabulous night.

Balti King (Broomhill) - Hasan Shah - 18th May 2013

Rating:

As a student from the sub-continent I had a lot to miss from back home, and food was one of those things until I found Balti King!

Extremely delicious food as good as home, welcoming and friendly staff, traditional South Asian look, providing a lovely environment for diners.

Mamma Mia Pepe (Hillsborough) - Joyce Hargreaves - 12th May 2013

Rating:

Went there weekend of 4/5/2013 for a family meal, x 3 generations and special birthday for Malcolm aged 69 years young.

Its location is just out of Hillsborough centre, up from Morrisons, on the tram route, so not perhaps the most obvious place to dine, but, the food is exceptional!

Decor gives authentic Italian feel and mood, small venue but homely. The service was quick and informative (full description given when we asked about each dish).

It was a great find, and we will be eating there again. They even didn't mind when we joined in signing with the rat pack songs. A great place to eat authentic Italian food.

Aagrah (City Centre) - Mehh - 1st May 2013

Rating:

Went to Aagrah for my birthday. The atmosphere is quite relaxing to be fair, the location was perfect, the waiters were okay.

However, the food isn't as good as people have made it out to be. Oh and they really know how to give you a birthday surprise. They added a little twist onto my chocolate desert... a live caterpillar. And what did we get in return as an apology? Nothing.

Won't ever be visiting again. Ruined my birthday meal.

Parthenonas (Highfield) - Leanne - 27th April 2013

Rating:

We ate here tonight with a voucher from Living Social and it was fantastic!

The portions were huge, the food was amazing, just like being in Greece. The owner/waiter was really friendly and funny. I felt like I was in Greece with the atmosphere and music etc...

There is a wait between courses but this is traditional of certain parts of Greece and because the food is fresh and well worth the wait I will definitely be becoming a regular!

Cannot recommend highly enough!

Mulan (Renishaw) - Gemma Sobah - 26th April 2013

Beautiful food, great service. Well lovely decorated restaurant. Ideal for special meals out.

Angelo Cerrone's (Ecclesfield) - Louise Harpham - 20th April 2013

Rating:

Absolutely perfect from the moment you ring up to book.

Excellent service, beautiful food, good prices, friendly staff. Everything a good restaurant should be.

Highly recommended.

Efes (City Centre) - Sue Taylor - 20th April 2013

Rating:

Attentive service, tasty food. We were served bread while we waited for one of our party. The chef was happy to adapt one dish for a friend who cannot eat dairy.

The food is unshowy but fresh and plentiful. The Greek tea at the end of the meal was a nice touch and a welcome end to a pleasant meal.

The staff are welcoming and friendly without being obsequious.

Caspian (Sharrow) - Selina - 14th April 2013

Rating:

One word to sum up this restaurant: disgusting. There are many reasons for this and are as follows:

1. Our whole party had arrived and were ready for ten-to-7. Being a restaurant we have never been to before we ordered at around quarter past. The waitresses were incredibly rude in taking our order and when asking if I could swap the rice for chips, I was ignored repeatedly and she kept insisting on giving me naan. I had to ask 5 times to finally get what I wanted.

2. The food took two hours to arrive, I kid you not, repeatedly asking after the first forty-five minutes how long the food would take we got unclear replies and no proper answers.

3. The first thing we ordered was drinks (soft e.g Coke) and they even took an hour!

4. When the food finally did arrive I found to my diapointment it was incredibly bland and greasy. Upon asking for sauces the waitresses sounded exasperated and annoyed at a request I think was pretty normal.

5. After eating the food we requested a bill. They refused to give us the actual receipt and decided to verbally tell us. If there are 20+ people I should expect the bill because I think it's easier to get ripped off. Again we persisted and she finally gave it us only to find out she was charging us £4 more, it may not seem like a lot but it is the principle of it.

6. We had a birthday cake to cut in celebration, they refused to clear the table so we could actually get processions going.

7. Upon entering the restaurant the tables set out were so difficult and offering suggestion after suggestion they refused to move the tables and we all had to sit separately in groups of fours and six.

Overall I am extremely disappointed in this "restaurant" and urge you not to go.

We get there around 7PM, we take a while to figure out what to want to eat, since girls take a long time to decide. Finally order around 7:20PM and we all ordered the "Chello Kebab Koubideh".

We asked if we were able to rearrange the tables to fit all of our group, even with many suggestions the waitress wouldn't budge. Also when ordering food, my friend wanted chips with her meal as opposed to rice, yet the waitress ignored what she said and was rude. In the end she got her chips.

We waited and continued to wait, we asked several times but never any clear answers, and people who had come way after us also got served before us.

Finally the food came at 9:10PM, nearly 2 hours late, which was just appalling. There was no apology, either. The lamb kebab thing turned out to be the oiliest thing I think I've ever ate and the rice was dry. Just an unappealing meal, which definitely wasn't worth the wait.

The bill even took ages to come. They were unprepared as we needed change but yet couldn't provide it to us.

Overall an appalling customer service, food and overall experience I had there. The best part of the restaurant was leaving it.

Hong Kong Wok (Heeley) - Linda Westerman - 12th April 2013

Rating:

I tried the Hong Kong Wok for the first time tonight. I found that the food was lovely and the portions were large so we had a doggy bag to go home with mmm. The staff were very welcoming and helpful.

The food was served pretty quick therefore it was hot, just how I like it, and it was reasonably priced. I was very impressed with the excellent service.

I will be returning and I would definitely recommend.

El Paso (City Centre) - Alison - 7th April 2013

Rating:

A lovely place. Relaxed yet prompt service, a wide-ranging menu, delicious food for a very reasonable price.

We had 3 courses, 2 bottles of wine and 2 lagers and it came to £70 which, considering we had the most expensive course, was a very good price.

We shall definitely be going again.
