I was looking for a quality restaurant with good food and after reading a review here that gave this place A+, I called up and booked a table for me and my dad.

We got lost and ended up arriving not a second after 10 minutes late. A man (I assume the manager) walked briskly up to meet us and as we said "Hi we're really sorry but…" he cut us short and very rudely said "No you're late you can't come in'.

Completely taken aback we pointed out we were only 10 minutes late. He butted in before we could finish and said "I told you to come at 7:15PM, you didn't so you can't come in" and started to herd us out.

The young girl / waitress standing next to him (who could have been his daughter) rolled her eyes in apparent embarrassment and turned away in a manner that suggested she'd seen it all before.

Needless to say we left but it put a real dampener on the night. I would strongly recommend against going to this place. No customer service skills at all, and I can't begin to imagine how his poor staff survive working under him.

I don't particularly like submitting negative feedback but sometimes it's the only way a place can improve.

Dosanj has the potential to be something special, it's in a great location and a modern designed building, but really that's where it ends...

We went on a Saturday night at 8:30PM. As you enter the lighting is quite bright and uncosy. We took a seat by the open kitchen, which doesn't really do the restaurant any favours, as you can see lots of plastic containers and unsightly kitchen utensils with bright kitchen lights, more like a takeaway ambience!

The flustered waitress came to our table and said, sorry you've been waiting the kitchen's gone mad tonight! Mmmm reassuring... and it wasn't even that busy!

We ordered drinks and looked at the menu... expensive is all I can say, glad we had come with our 'Charity Unleashed' vouchers. I ordered chicken tikka masala and my husband chicken korma. The dishes cost £15 approx but came with rice and a naan as part of the dish. Bearing in mind I didn't really want a naan so its a strange kind of concept.

We waited and waited and 1 hour later out came the food, which fair enough looked pretty on the plate but not worthy of its price tag and not a patch on many of the other Indian restaurants in Sheffield. Quite off-putting watching one of the 'chefs' taking carrot flower decorations that had been left uneaten off one guests plate to use on another as well!

Anyway before leaving we went to the lavatories upstairs and the whole of the floor is not in use. There was a TV in a corner and 2 chairs. Not much attention to detail in this place and we feel they are trying to be something they quite clearly are not!

Gordon Ramsay would have a field day! We will not return.

Fabulous restaurant! 5-star food, 5-star service. A most enjoyable experience. We will continue to return again and again.

All the staff are happy and make you feel welcome, children are always welcome, too, and activities are supplied. There is a good menu choice and drinks selection.

Something for everyone.

Best Sunday lunch in the area!

Great tasting, properly hand-carved meat, real gravy, great roasts, Yorkshire puds and vegetables and even my wife's veggie option looked really tasty and appealing.

We went earlier this year with about 8 friends and were served in less than 20 minutes, on a busy Sunday lunch time.

Also they have a good range of ales, never a bad thing.

There were four of us dining on 31st October. The atmosphere and food were excellent, I would recommend Cerrone's and will be visiting again in the near future.

We visited El Paso restaurant this evening to celebrate my wife's birthday.

We have been to both Italy and Mexico so can compare the quality of the food with the real thing. It was our first visit to El Paso and we really were pleasantly
surprised!

We found the prices to be very reasonable and the wines were definitely not overpriced.

Although most tables in the restaurant were full by 8:30PM, the service was impeccable, the food (especially the fajitas), was out of this world.

The timing of the service was ideal, leaving a pleasant break between courses.

We were treated to complimentary sambucas by the manager in honour of the birthday visit.

It was our first visit to El Paso but it will certainly not be our last!

Visited this restaurant last Saturday night. Although the place is small the atmosphere is cosy and the waiters are very welcoming and courteous. The menu is extensive and there are extra specials on a chalk board. Don't know how the chef gets all the meals to perfection out on time given the many choices available.

The fillet steak and fish are to die for and excellent value. A plus with this restaurant is that customers can take their own wine with a small charge for corkage so giving an excellent evening out without breaking the bank. Well done guys.

Would recommend that you book and one final thing, only cash and cheques accepted when settling the bill.

This restaurant was excellent in both food & service.

Visited the restaurant this Friday 23rd October with my husband. The food was delicious, fresh & tasty and the service was second to none!

We had been due to see Elton John in concert who cancelled at the last minute... although Elton let us down that evening the Saffron Club did not!

Highly recommend anyone to go this restaurant.

We called Saturday morning to book a table for that evening and left a message. We were politely called back to say that unfortunately they were full, but would keep our number in case of a cancellation (great customer service).

We arrived in Sheffield and, as the restaurant is close to the train station, we called in on the off chance. They accommodated us very well, as we said that we wouldn't stay long as we were going on to a concert.

The food very nice, the ambience spot on, hosts great, food prices reasonable. All in all a very enjoyable experience

I had a great meal here the other day. The staff were really friendly, and the pork Sunday lunch was spot on; tender pork with lots of crackling, stuffing and apple sauce. I'd really recommend making the journey to this place, it's a real gem.

The food is OK, if you get it that is.

The staff are so rude it's unbelievable. My sister, my father and I used to go every week for about a year. But the staff became unbearable so we stopped going.

They will shout at you, throw your bills on the table, over charge you, stand by and wait for tips. They all stand around each other speaking in Chinese, while they all look over point and laugh at you.

However if you are Chinese I would definitely recommend this place, because that's the only way you seem to get a nice service.

Have been to this restaurant a couple of times and have always thoroughly enjoyed it.

The staff are welcoming and the menu is extensive.

The portions are very generous and very tasty. Be warned, I would not order a starter if I were you, as you get so much complimentary food, e.g. marinated chicken wings, which are delicious. They also have seasonal dishes such as pheasant.

A yummy 10/10.

Well, myself and my girlfriend went to Nawaab on a Sunday night around 6PM. We were very impressed with modern decor and the layout of the restaurant.

We were seated and given the menu. The menu was very extensive, and along with having the usual Indian dishes (e.g. Baltis, Rogan Josh etc…) we were pleasantly surprised that the restaurant's chefs are also able to do fusion and new styles and ideas of cooking.

I myself am from just outside of Manchester so am used to some pretty impressive Indian cooking due to being so close to Rusholme's infamous Curry Mile.

I can honestly say hand on heart that the food was amazing. We decided to give the following marks to the restaurant.

Speed of service - 8/10
Food - 9/10
Friendliness of staff - 6/10 (was quite quiet and they looked bored to be fair to them)
Value for money - 8/10 - £31 for two starters, two mains and two J2Os
Atmosphere and decor - 8/10
Overall score 39/50

I would definitely recommend Nawaab to anyone, as the food was brilliant.

We visited El Paso on Saturday 19th September for our anniversary after reading all the good reviews on this website.

When my husband had booked the table he'd mentioned that it was our anniversary but to be honest I think the staff had forgotten this fact and we were too shy to mention it again.

When we arrived, we were shown to our table. It was around ten minutes before we were asked what we would like to drink (I'd discovered the drinks list on a table positioned next to us) and given a menu each.

The slight delay was fine by us, as we overheard that there was a Chilean party going on upstairs so the staff were quite busy directing guests etc... That said the service was still as attentive as it needed to be throughout the meal.

To begin with, my husband had Meatballs 'El Paso' and I had the Funghi Ripieni, which was mushrooms filled with tuna, garlic, parsley and mozzarella cheese. Both dishes were lovely and served piping hot, which was impressive considering a group of about 8 who had not booked beforehand placed their order at the same time!

For our main course we had carbonara (plus a side order of garlic bread with cheese) and Halibut Palta with vegetables and potatoes. My husband said his carbonara was nice but he had tasted better, however, he said the garlic bread was lovely. My halibut was delicious, as the fish meat just slipped off the bone. The vegetables were also cooked to perfection.

To finish, although we were quite full, I decided to have the profiteroles with a hot chocolate sauce - absolute heaven! My husband had a chocolate ice cream-based dessert (neither of us can remember the name of it now), which he said was really enjoyable.

The staff are very attentive and my wine glass was never empty, much to my regret the next morning! We were even invited to attend the Chilean party upstairs by one of the waiters but we politely declined, as we had had a long day. Very nice thought though. The waiters seem to love their jobs and one particular waiter (light skinned and tall) kept singing along to the music coming from upstairs, which made me giggle!

Overall a lovely night out but we couldn't help wondering how much nicer it would have been if they'd remembered it was our special night. Oh well, we'll just have to go back next year... if not before!

A+.

The best Chinese restaurant in Sheffield if you are looking for a high standard surroundings and high quality food.

Plus, they sell the cheapest wines within all the restaurants in Sheffield, including those good and luxury ones. The manager told us he can always get good bargains on it, thanks for his generous sharing. Just ask him for recommendations, really generous person.

My father has been their customer for almost 15 years, sometimes take us to try other restaurants, but always go back to Canton Orchard. Looking forward to my birthday party next month... I miss the yummy food there!

Surely, if you want cheap junk, I wouldn't recommend this Canton Orchard, you can certainly find those 'eat what you can' or noodle bars in town, not Ranmoor area.

We ended up at Silversmith's after finding out that Kumquat Mae had closed (all reviews had sounded spot on for what we'd had in mind). Silversmith's didn't sound too bad, liked the idea of local sourcing, and so we gave it a whirl for a celebration meal.

Initial impressions from approaching the restaurant were encouraging; the simple, white, unassuming building seemed quiet and welcoming. To be honest, the interior decor was a shock with its harsh black, white and red colour scheme, flooring spot lights, plastic flowers and something not quite right about the tables and chairs.

The food more than compensated for the surroundings: tasty combinations of flavours, clearly skilled cooking and presentation, just the right size portions and all tied up in a very reasonable bill. Excellent wine and prompt, polite service.

Overall: 8.5/10 (mainly limited by the decor).

We will definitely return, and recommend to others.

I stumbled passed El Paso by accident one day after work but what a pleasant accident it turned out to be. We decided to book El Paso for my birthday. Everything absolutely faultless, food out of this world and we were all made to feel so special - the waiter even sang to me (very embarrassing) and the staff were some of the friendliest I have come across. Received complimentary sambucas with the bill. If you fancy a real treat I suggest checking this place out. 10/10

Today I went to the Walnut Club Champagne Bar & Grill restaurant with my daughter, her friend and my 2-year-old grandson.

There was only one staff member who was serving the bar and restaurant. The food was so slow in arriving that we had to ask for some bread to appease the hungry child.

When the food came it was terrible. The fish smelled old, the batter was limp and the chips were soggy. The bread that we were served was stale. My grandson's child's portion was in fact larger than ours and we were told we had to specifically ask for peas to get them as part of the supplement.

We asked to see the chef or manager, only to be told that the one staff member was the manager. We refused to pay and left. He did not seem concerned. Serving utter rubbish especially to children is not on.

Fantastic Italian restaurant, portion sizes are great, service is very friendly and efficient, the prices are good. The only issue I found was a lack of choice of soft drinks.

I first came to Everest restaurant with my partner. We were so pleased with both the service and the food that we received. The staff were so friendly to us and we have been coming with our friends and family ever since then. I would strongly recommend people out there to try this restaurant, as it offers a wide variety of food to please everyone. Well done Everest.
