Chutney (Gleadless) - K Bernard -

Rating:

Shocking! Ordered a delivery and saw a delivery driver sat outside my home on his mobile phone. Phoned the restaurant to see if it was their driver and they told me that he was on his way. 10 minutes later the driver got out the car and knocked on my door. 15 minutes in total the driver had been sat outside my home with my food going cold and the restaurant justified it by telling me that they told me the food would be "up" to an hour! Jokers!

They offered to knock me £2.80 off my bill... gobsmacked! Either that or they told me to tell the driver to take my food back. Whoever orders garlic chicken curry or chicken tikka korma I hope you enjoy my food!

Never order from here again!

Sword Dancer (Handsworth) - Dennis Gray -

Rating:

Went Saturday at 12 o'clock. Ordered large fish and chips. No fish. Why have a menu? Then ordered steak, which was tough. Left that then ordered fudge cake. No fudge cake, so ordered apple crumble, which was terrible. Used to be good, but was terrible Saturday. It'll be a long time before I go again.

Drakehouse Mill (Crystal Peaks) - Georgia -

Rating:

For the last few times we have been to Drakehouse Mill it has been shocking! The food we had was an English breakfast and was just chewy and the bacon was dripping in grease and it was black. The second time we came we had full monty mixed grill and again it was vile. The gammon was black? The sausage and steak was chewy and tough.

The waitress dropped my partner's tomato and fetched a new one within seconds, however left the one she dropped on the floor. Is that good customer service? You could tell the tomato has been sat ages, as it came too quickly to be fresh and was cold.

In general the food wasn't the warmest to be "fresh". In fact the dessert took longer than the main! It was ridiculous and we will NOT be returning.

Milestone (Crystal Peaks) - Emma -

Rating:

Shoddy service from start to finish. Overcharged on the bill 4 times; fire alarm going off every minute for 25 minutes because of cooking course upstairs; and then find our waitress in the kitchen slagging off my partner and I for complaining about being overcharged continuously on the bill.

£80 for a two-course lunch with wine for two, and it took over 2.5 hours because everything took so long at 1PM in the afternoon! No apology for a ruined occasion, even from the manager.

Such a shame, it used and be great.

Shapla (City Centre) - Lisa Taylor -

Rating:

Went to Shapla on Saturday night with my family to celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary.

My party of five was squeezed onto a table for four, it was very uncomfortable to eat and the food took well over an hour to arrive at the table. When it did arrive it was tepid and greasy. We were all very disappointed.

La Vaca (Broomhill) - Doc -

Rating:

We did book a table for the birthday party in advance, as it is a very busy place. Fourteen of us arrived at 9pm, we had a drink at the bar and then went to our table in the back room.

We all had steaks, apart from one of us who had a seabass from the specials black board, and all-in-all we're very impressed with quality of the food.

The service was excellent and the atmosphere was just right, with the Latino music playing on.

Most of us had home-made desserts such as chocolate brownie and cheesecake, as well as Our Cow Molly ice cream.

Thanks La Vaca for great evening.

Kurdistan (Burngreave) - Robin Wood -

Rating:

A very different restaurant experience and highly recommended. Formica tables, bare surroundings, but superb food at bargain prices.

The lentil soup that you get served as a starter for free or if you are waiting for a takeaway is just the best, like a thin dahl but with different spices; warming and wholesome.

Meze is great for veggies, otherwise it is mostly grilled meat based.

You can eat good for here for £5 a head.

Akbar's (City Centre) - Sandy -

Rating:

The starters were delicious, we ordered poppadoms and the pickle tray had 4 items but no onion mix (my favourite).

My companion ordered the balti with a rice and chips. I asked if I could have a mixed biryani, as the menu just listed biryani. The waiter said chicken and lamb, or chicken and prawns. I asked again for mixed, he repeated previous choices, so I said chicken and prawn. We also ordered a large (very impressive) garlic nan. The nan was plain, not garlic, and I received a balti not a biryani. We didn't complain, it was nice enough, and maybe he repeated balti and I just didn't hear him right.

I like ice cream to finish. I asked for a scoop of vanilla and a scoop of coconut, they didn't have the coconut so I said 2 scoops of vanilla will be fine. It came topped with whipped cream, which I don't like, and chocolate sauce, which I also don't like. My companion ate it and they did bring me 2 scoops of vanilla.

We asked for the bill and were informed that the vanilla ice cream was not charged for. Pretty dark in there but the bill looked like £44.95 but definitely £44 something. I put £50 on the tray and would have left the change, as tip as the staff were very pleasant, but was not given the option, as they didn't bring me any change.

Waggon & Horses (Millhouses) - Claudia Entwhistle -

Rating:

The staff are lovely and I've enjoyed the food every time I've gone. I would recommend the pizza, the fish pie, and the chicken burger as being particularly tasty.

It's very cosy and friendly.

On a weekend people often take their children, so I do prefer the weekdays.

Bowshaw Inn (Dronfield) - Jill Barnard -

Rating:

I have eaten at your carvery many times. The last two visits have not been as enjoyable. The cauliflower is far too hard. Couldn't get my knife through it, and the mashed potato was cold.

The staff are very nice & work hard, but please tell your chefs to cook veg better!

Monk's Bridge Farm (Dinnington) - Steve Wright -

Rating:

We ordered a piece of cake which was visually displayed in front of us. We ordered it at 20:26 with the pub fairly quiet. At 21:00 it had still not arrived, despite reminding the staff. Over 30 minutes for a piece of cake. No good. Poor service. Poor communication.

Le Bistrot Pierre (Hunters Bar) - Jill Giannotta -

Rating:

I dine here often with family, have lunch with friends, and have never been disappointed yet.

This restaurant's menu constantly changes, yet still retains its most popular dishes. Great care is taken with cooking steak to your liking, and fish and chicken breast, so easy to overcook are always perfect.

The early bird menu represents amazing value, and the lunchtime one even more so.

The staff are courteous and friendly, the atmosphere relaxed and informal.

Zara's (Crookes) - Trevor Gillott -

Rating:

Delightful food. They start off with the best pickle tray containing 8-10 choices.

The following courses we have tried are all excellent. Great prawn purée, variety of sauces with all the usual proteins. Hard to fault.

Very attentive owner/manager keeps everything running very smoothly.

Going tonight mmm!

Wortley Arms (Wortley) - Phillip -

Rating:

Went to the Wortley Arms tonight for a meal with family and I have to say we were all disappointed in how the food was poorly presented and also very under-cooked. We had sirloin steaks and lamb steak and asked for them to be medium & medium to well-done, but they were all well underdone, tasteless, and rubbery. We have been a few times now and unfortunately it is a real hit-and-miss occasion.

ChaoBaby (Meadowhall Shopping Centre) - David Carroll -

Rating:

Went here for the mid week buffet, waste of time and money.

Spring rolls were the very cheap frozen generic offerings you get in the freezer section of ethnic supermarkets. When I know the Thai version freshly made is stunning. Same for the samosas. Rice. Boiled basmati or fried, as in Chinese egg fried. Chinese prawn crackers and lack lustre curries, as in potato and broccoli. Watery and sad.

The Thai restaurants I have experience of can cook some beautiful complex curries. Fish in batter? Dry! No pork or chicken spare rib or tasty chicken pieces. The only thing they cook in front of you will be your soup and I think that's about the main draw of the place. An array of sweets and fresh fruit but the bottom line is this place will suit shoppers with no idea of what Thai cooking is all about.

Sorry for the negative review, I can only post as I see it based on my experience and tastes.

Monk's Bridge Farm (Dinnington) - George Gresham -

Been going to Monk's Bridge Farm restaurant for a few years now. Never had a bad meal yet. Always good food and very nice staff. They always make you welcome and talk to you, even when under pressure, which they very often are. I love the place. Top marks Monk's Bridge Farm, Dinnington.
