Sheffield Restaurant Reviews (Page 37)

Living just up the road, the Mossbrook has been the first choice for a number of occasions. Sadly, this time I came away full of disappointment. The starters of squid for the wife and lobster and prawn pot for me were very tasty and a good size for a starter. Here we go I thought. Looking forward to another great meal.

The main course however, well, where do I start?

We both ordered the trio roast expecting a nice combination of chicken, beef and pork. The most impressive thing on the plate was the Yorkshire pudding. The pork was about the size and thickness of my bank card, the beef was marginally thicker but looked as if it had sat under a hot light for some time and was as dry as that light. The chicken? Wow! Poor thing was so anaemic it looked like it should have had a blood transfusion before it was killed. Shown the oven rather than cooked in it! Also, it seems as if you have leg or lump it out of the box of legs that were delivered yesterday. And the wife doesn't like leg.

There are vegetables and "roast" potatoes as part of it but if you don't like a particular veg (like red cabbage in my case) and ask for it without then be prepared for no veg at all, as its all cooked and mixed in one pot to give you a teaspoon full in one go. And the potatoes looked more boiled and blow torched than roasted. Certainly not worth the £15 expected.

We were still hungry so decided on a dessert of sticky toffee pudding. Although small it was very tasty. Really disappointed to be writing this about a favourite but seems as if after the refurb a couple of years ago the Mossbrook has tried to become a high class gastro pub with prices to match but without the knowledge and experience to manage it.

Been coming since it opened but it's getting worse there. The time we came for breakfast you were refurbishing. We were sat in a area that wasn't even finished. There was dust everywhere, loads of stuff not available. Shouldn't really be open with that amount of dust. So food came out 45 minutes later, which is a joke for breakfast. When I asked staff what was taking so long they just gave me a blank look and said "I will check", which then took another 10 minutes. Put this down to the fact that it was just the wrong time.

So we decided to try again on Thursday 3rd August. Again the same miserable staff, all too busy doing nothing. All the tables was disgusting - plates and food everywhere and yet more long waits ahead. Asked after 40 minutes to be told "we are busy". It was 10:20am and there were 8 people in! The food finally arrived and it wasn't what we ordered and then we were told "well breakfast is finished now so we can't do anything"!

This is absolutely disgusting service. Staff are terrible and have a bad attitude. Won't be returning.

I visited for a homemade pie, as we didn't fancy cooking Sunday lunch. All our pies (each one different) were gorgeous. Love the proper chips, too. Visiting again tonight with the family. Bring on the pies!

Lovely food and good service. A traditional, family-run Italian restaurant, a nice change from a large "chain" establishment. Great tiramisu.

Once again excellent food, but if you want it delivered when they say it will be, do not believe them.

They said it would be 30 minutes but we had to phone an hour later when it had not arrived. They said it was just leaving and it arrived approximately 15 minutes later, which is believable because we are not far away. But when it arrived it was not hot, just cool.

Good food but awful service. Don't have a delivery if you cannot heat it up in a microwave. Price is more than other takeaways. Beware!

Third visit to Ashoka, so felt compelled to review the guys a little review. Not run-of-the-mill - just a little different. My boyfriend and I have travelled India and this comes really close (without £££ for travel)! to the flavours we enjoyed out there.

It's small, it's busy, but with a great atmosphere, fantastic food, and very accommodating staff.

Keep it up!

Just left most of a delivered takeaway. Paid £34 for three dishes plus rice.

Chicken Malaya clearly thrown together from prepacked cheap soggy chicken junks, King Prawn Saj was mouth-burningly hot in non-liquid. Only the lamb dish was really edible. Pilau rice clogged and dark brown. Never again!

Waited a long time for food. The scampi was burnt, the rest of the meal was tasteless, what bit I did eat.

Told the waitress and all I got was a "sorry". Will not be going again. If you want to waste your hard-earned money this is the place to go.

We came for our 6th wedding anniversary, very disappointed. The food was over-priced and we didn't get what was on the menu.

Had beef brisket (£7.95) which was 3 meatball things with brown sauce croquettes. Half roast chicken. This was 2 chicken legs. So in all, 1 starter, 2 mains, 2 drinks each, no deserts. All together £55. Still hungry, going to KFC next time. Lovely food over-priced. Toilets disgusting. Service great.

Won't be coming next anniversary, rather have a take away.

Another lovely meal at The Crown and Cushion, as always, with our friends. The waitresses were lovely it was a very enjoyable night.

It looked busy on our approach, as it was a beautiful sunny day and everyone was sat outside. The warning signs were there, if only we had taken more notice - plenty of people drinking but not many eating, and this was at 2pm on a Sunday afternoon.

You would automatically think I'm being mean by giving them one star, but I only awarded them that because you can't post the review without opting for a minimum of one, but honestly our meals were inedible.

I had taken my son and daughter-in-law out, as it was both their birthdays. We had the chicken dinners. The chicken skin had the consistency of having been boiled not roasted, the meat was rubbery and not fully cooked. The veg was boiled to death, it just laid there in a deflated splodge on the plate (the smell that came from it turned your stomach). The gravy was in a little saucepan and consisted of runny grease. The Yorkshire pudding was soft, tasteless and anaemic looking.

Very disappointing. Would not recommend.

They always make my visit special. The quality of warm welcome and the knowledge of customer focus by heart in the best Apna-style food restaurant. Me and my family always enjoy Hassan's and the team's qualities, kindness, communication. Thank you Hassan and team from Akbar's Restaurant for nice enjoyed visits and 100% future ones.

Just had a very good meal at Balti King. The food was generously served and full of flavour. With our meal we had peshwari naan bread, which was the best I've ever had. The service was prompt and Tony, the owner, was very attentive. A really good night out - we'll be back.

Ate there early evening after visiting Beighton Fun Day. Great day out and ended up very disappointed with my Amraj experience.

Waiter could not understand what we had ordered and the wrong food came out, so it was returned and what came next was barely edible and was more like a bowl of Indian stew and nothing resembling what was ordered.

Do not in any way visit this restaurant and spend any of your hard-earned money. Complained to the waiter. Didn't understand me. Then to the manager, who apologised and took 10% off my bill. How generous of him.

Will never put my foot though the door of the Amraj again and advise you all reading this review to do likewise.

Took my family for a meal and we were disappointed.

Expensive for what we had.

The portions were small and the bhajis tough.

To top it all my daughter found a black hair in her meal. It looked like a beard hair.

This should not happen this day and age in a supposedly high-end restaurant.

It's just not good enough.

Hygiene is apparently poor here.

Although we have been here several times and both food and service are great, we found a hair in the food. There were also flies in the restaurant.

I think a review of their hygiene methods should be considered.

Shame we have to write a negative review because the staff are great, along with the food.

They apologised and deducted from the bill the course with the hair in it.

Shame.

Just had the best takeaway in years. Great service, fantastic food.

What a lovely couple. Fantastic little restaurant. Great tapas night worth a try for anyone. Traditional Italian, not false British-Italian.

We have 6 reviews of La Dolce Vita.

What can I say... used this place on and off for years. It's going down the pan fast and furious.

Kids play area inside and out had a face lift. Don't know why. Very disappointing.

Understaffed at peak hours. Queuing time for drinks and food is absolutely ridiculous.

When food eventually arrived 2 of our 5 meals had to be sent back, so kids were sat with nothing while the rest of us ate.

By the time the kids meals came back to the table the rest of us had finished. Female manager was extremely rude and insulting. We will be avoiding this place from now on and take our hard-earned cash elsewhere.
