Sheffield Restaurant Reviews (Page 32)

My wife and I frequently eat from the carvery on Sunday evenings and it is my favourite carvery venue. Other family members have chosen from the non-carvery menu on occasion and have been a bit disappointed, but for me the carvery itself is as good as they get.

Particularly nice, too, is the fact that vegetables are all fresh, not frozen as in some carvery restaurants. I personally prefer my veg slightly under-cooked and crisp rather than overcooked and sloppy, so I don't go along with some earlier reviews about under-cooked veg! Yorkies, roasties and gravies are also great! Being able to pre-book tables is a relatively recent improvement, as we have had half-hour+ waits sometimes for a table in the past.

We will definitely continue to be patrons of this place for the foreseeable future!

Food isn't great at all. Everything tastes the same. Wouldn't return.

Staff were lovely, though.

Myself, sister and brother-in-law have just had Christmas Day lunch at the Rutland. To say we were disappointed is an understatement. At £70 per head we expected something amazing. Wrong! It was a disappointment from beginning to end.

The melon was OK, just a lack of it. The vegetables, including potatoes, left a lot to be desired. Yorkshire puddings and turkey were OK! Dessert wasn't too bad but not great! Cheese and biscuits... well 4 biscuits between 3 of us! Minuscule mince pies!

Needless to say we will NOT be repeating the experience.

Had a turkey meal there today (Boxing Day) and was so disappointed! The turkey was cold with loads of lukewarm gravy poured over it! The choice of veg, Brussels sprouts and butternut squash, was poor. Was so disappointed!

The starter soup however was lovely and the Xmas pud was nice but again only warm.

We waited almost an hour from main meal to sweet and only did it come after my grandson politely told the waitress we had been waiting an hour.

Sorry but bitterly disappointed for the money!

Amazing food, lovely staff, very friendly, lovely atmosphere especially for a family. Would highly recommend to everyone. Will be visiting again for sure.

An amazing place.

Hi all,

Not pleased with the service at this branch on Ecclesall Road, the attitude of some of the staff stinks!

The reason for this is when attending the ladies room it was very slippery and dangerous and very unhygienic.

Upon complaining the staff just had ignored me, smirked and walked off.

Very bad service!

Went in just before Christmas, I took my elderly father in with me. The service overall I received was horrendous, from first walking in right 'til the end. The food was somebody else's, and eventually when ours came it was cold. The staff weren't very apologetic, just had the attitude of not having a care in the world.

I was really angry when complaining to the management, they just brushed it off because they were busy with Xmas bookings.

I will never go there again and don't recommend anyone unless you want to spoil a nice day out.

Thanks to all at The Fairways for making our multi-family Christmas festive party so enjoyable. Great food and warm, friendly staff. Special mention to Sam for being so nice and considerate when changes had to be made before the event.

I will be back with friends next week and highly likely we will be back as a large family group soon.

Highly recommended.

A large group of us went to the White Rose for a Christmas meal last week. We had a lovely 3-course meal - all courses were very generous. The staff were very attentive - nothing was too much trouble.

We were even offered complimentary coffee! Well done we'll soon be back.

We visited this restaurant, as usually the food is okay. How wrong were we, as the food took 45 minutes to arrive to the first person and then in 5-10 minute intervals, with my husband's coming out fifteen minutes after the first order.

The food was sub standard and nothing like we have ever eaten in a Chinese restaurant, and my husband's dish came with oven chips, which were tasteless, and chicken balls that were not cooked.

The restaurant was extremely cold and the toilets were not too good, either.

When we highlighted the slow service we were offered a free drink, but due to the meal taking so long we had to leave. Their excuse for the food being not good was that they were so busy!

This is one restaurant we would not consider returning to in the future and were very disappointed.

Be careful when booking here, as we have just been for a friend's birthday with a total of 30 of us so he booked the restaurant. They charged two of us over £90 for two starters and two mains - one calzone and one carbonara - and two drinks each, which is very pricey. When I asked why it was so much I was told that since we had ordered from the a la carte menu it would be £35 per head. We totalled our meal up from the individual a la carte menu, and for what we had the cost came to less than £30 for both. What a rip off. Will not be going here ever again and neither will any of our friend's party, as they all had the same problem with their bills.

You have been warned - ask what menu they are going to charge you from before you go.

We had booked for 6 people the Festive Party Menu, 3-course meal for £15.99. We were promised Rat Pack music/Motown music with the meal, but this never materialised!

First course meal went well. Then came main - two of us ordered the sea bass, which was very poor in the size of it. You simply cant order fish with a carvery selection. No new potatoes or seasonal vegetables to complement. The salad that we chose looked as though it had been sat in their trays for hours.

Then came the desserts. Our order was mixed up on the desserts- which wasn't hard to fathom out.

We had chosen this establishment to take both our mums out for Christmas meal. Would I recommend? No way!

Food was tasteless, stale and not fresh at all. No customer service, and waitress was very rude. Not worth spending a single penny here. It was supposed to be all-you-can-eat buffet, however most of the food trays were empty and never got filled all the time we were there. Appalling place.

Beware. After recent snow the car park, although not massive, is treacherous for both pedestrians and vehicles. Consequently, fewer diners, which meant food standing in heated cabinets had dried out.

A company this size could have an estate manager to ensure gritting/salting, which would aid client safety. Or two staff with barrow and grit could do this within the hour.

Very poor.

Let's face it - many Indian restaurants are much of a muchness, with the same pleasant but unremarkable food, similar décor and music, and generally courteous but stiffly formal waiters. The Balti King, however, is different - uniquely so in my experience.

From the moment you step inside, you are welcomed with such warmth that you immediately feel at home - no sooner do you take your seat than poppadoms, pickles, and complementary salad appear on your table.

When my wife and I were there recently, we chose the tandoori chicken balti special. The chicken was beautifully cooked in a light covering of delicious sauce. As usual,we had onion bhajis as a side dish, which were, as always, superb - crisply cooked, delightfully textured and substantial in size.

There are other things I love about the restaurant apart from the food. There always seems to be a happy, friendly atmosphere, partly created by the staff, who move around the tables talking to the customers. Also, the décor is not typically Indian (no flock wallpaper), nor is the music - it's a fusion of modern Indian techno and traditional folk.

Yes, in my opinion, the Balti King is Sheffield's little gem.

Ate there yesterday as a party of 5. We were put on a table the farthest away from any servers and seemed to be forgotten about.

After about half an hour our drinks arrived, which we had to remind the server to bring! When the food arrived my 2 sons refused to eat it, as it was bland, dry, and over-cooked. We were at that point given 2 glasses of free Coke!

Never again would I eat at this restaurant. It has seriously gone downhill. I did complain and I got a "Sorry". Not bad for a £113 bill! I then took them for a McDonald's!

We go here often. Brilliant staff. Always slow getting meal ticket from the bar. Meat good, vegetables can vary, sometimes rather tasteless, lacking in variety and overcooked, other times very good. Still good value and lovely location.

If you want a 3-course meal in less than an hour then this is the place to go. Talk about get you served and out as quick as possible. Food is OK, but give people time to digest it.

Booked meals nearly two months in advance of arriving last evening (the 7th of December). Even so we waited 45 minutes for the starters to arrive. The main courses arrived at different times. Although tasty they were not very hot. Plates were cool. As there were 17 of us they should have had more staff on. Not good enough.
