Sheffield Restaurant Reviews (Page 41)

This used to be our favourite Chinese restaurant, with excellent food, and service to match, so although we had not been for 6 months we had no hesitation in going there for a family birthday. What a disappointment! A lot of trivial problems, which added up to their losing our business for the future.

To summarise...

- no prawn crackers offered, although all other tables had them

- a long delay after finishing the appetisers to get the table cleared. In the end I had to call someone over to do the clearing

- all plates were cold, so as soon as you had the food on your plate from the serving dishes, then it started to go cold. In fact on another table I saw a gentleman ask for his food to be microwaved, it had gone that cold

- despite the fact we had asked for chopsticks there were no bowls, just plates. Not easy to eat rice off flat plates. When I raised this I was told that people don't like bowls!

Not recommended other than as a takeaway.

I am a long standing customer and have frequently eaten in the Waggon and Horses. It has always offered a good selection of food at very competitive prices. How it has changed! We recently had an evening meal there and were quite shocked at the "service" we received. The staff were more concerned in going home than offering table service, as we were routinely "blanked" when trying to attract attention.

The menu is very limited to say the least. Our order included two pizzas and they were hard, dry, not very well topped, and very expensive - I'd go as far as to say drastically over-priced for what was on offer.

Don't bother providing feedback as you will be ignored, but that will be the last time they ignore me as I will not be returning.

Take my advice and give this place a wide berth.

The worst attitude from a waiter I've ever encountered in my life. Will never go again. This place does not deserve any customers with people like that working there.

Very pleasant and polite owners and always make you feel comfortable and relaxed. I'm always in there with my girls or to have quick mocha enjoy their hospitality, as I know them quite well now and they always make myself and children feel welcome. Cakes are divine and delicious. I would recommend this place to anyone who likes to dine with excellent quality and people who own it, they're lovely people.

Excellent food. Landlord and staff always very friendly and chatty. Been in a couple of times at the weekend and always receive a warm welcome - highly recommend.

Visited Friday evening with family and friends. Our first visit and most certainly not the last.

The setting is delightful, food and service superb with a great selection of local brews.

Highly recommend a visit.

Awful food, avoid! Expensive.

I did not like the food here. The taste was bland and I did not think it tasted very authentic. Had better supermarket ready meals.

Also, very expensive for what you get.

Having read the previous reviews I have to agree with the comments made.

We often visit Carluccio's in West Bridgford and in Dorchester, both of which are excellent. Having had good experiences at both these restaurants we decided to lunch at Carluccio's in Meadowhall during a shopping trip.

The food was well below par, the service not existent, and at best surly, and I agree that the whole restaurant had a grubby appearance.

Plenty of alternative eateries at Meadowhall, so will not be visiting this Carluccio's again.

Only put 1 star, as no facility for 0 stars.

Bad experience from start to finish.

Overpriced for portion size.

Just putting 2 chillies on top of a bland curry sauce does not make it a vindaloo, no matter what spin the waiter feeds you.

Sorry but I'm not impressed. It's about flavour and infusion of spices, not just heat.

Rude manager.

On making a complaint of a dish not being as described, the manager was ignorant and rude. Not interested in sorting the problem.

Overpriced food and every dish tastes the same. Obviously made from a bought in base sauce from a cash and carry.

Sadly the spin from the waiter saying "my little old grandma lovingly prepared your meal tonight" was pure lies.

No smell of spices cooking round the back.

These guys are microwave technicians not bona fide chefs.

Eleven of us have had a lovely meal to celebrate friends' golden wedding anniversary. The staff could not have been more helpful. The meal (carvery) was spot on as usual. Never had a bad meal in all the years of going.

Visited the Amraj for the second time this month. The food was fantastic, the staff we extremely helpful. The decor is amazing. Will be visiting again soon.

Might try the takeaway service.

If you like Iraqi/Kurdish/Persian food then this restaurant is what you're looking for. Amazing service, great Middle Eastern menu, and great value for money, I'd go everyday!

Came here for my sister's 18th birthday. Booked a table, only to be told to wait when we arrived. Went to the bar for a drink and got ignored. Was told after 15 minutes that our table was ready. They sat us down I had an 8-month-old they never asked if I needed a highchair. Then to be told halfway through that we weren't able to keep my pram there. It was a nightmare to get out, having to get people out of their seats because the spaces between the chairs was so tight.

As we were eating the staff by passed the adults to the younger children to tell them they had to go and measure themselves against a line on a sign the same size as an A4 sheet of paper because if they were taller they would have to pay adult price. My son is 13 and so was my niece. Then when it was the end they charged adult prices. This is wrong, it does not state this on their website, as I was told it did. I cant see it anywhere. Then they told us it was on the same size A4 that it stated it at reception. I also didn't see that. They are having people left an right with this "a child is under the age of 16".

Also the staff seemed to be watching every move, making you feel uneasy. The food was OK but not arranged right. A lot was really salty and some was really sugary. We asked to speak to a manager three times, to be told that she was a supervisor. In the end my uncle asked. She went to get him. He was lovely and listened to what we had to say and put the two children's meals for adults half price after a long discussion, pointing out that this should be told to people before seated.

Had a takeaway from here last Friday via Just Eat.

Delivery time was a while, however pretty much bang on the ETA. The food was gorgeous and worth the rather higher prices. I was told by a colleague today that they have a loyalty scheme, so better and better. Will definitely order from here again.

Excellent night tonight for my birthday and son's father-in-law's birthday.

I am lactose intolerant and the chef made sure I was happy with a meal he recommended. He came out and again checked I was happy. All the staff took time to make our evening special.

We have been to Cutlers Spice before and had excellent service every time. Great food, atmosphere and service.

Looking forward to next time. Thank you Cutlers Spice.
