Sheffield Restaurant Reviews (Page 67)

Have eaten at this restaurant many times and thoroughly enjoyed it. The chicken and spinach pancake is to die for. My husband had the calzone the last time we went and said it was the best he had ever had.

The two-for-one menu on Sunday, Tuesday and Wednesday is real value for money.

I highly recommend this place as you will not be disappointed.

Fantastic food, in fact the best balti hut I have visited. Staff are so friendly and I've never felt so at home with really authentic cooking.

I recommend the "chicken methi" and "chicken garlic".

5 stars from me.

Good enough as a restaurant but be very aware of being overcharged if you are ordering a takeaway. We have always been overcharged, too regularly it seems for this to be a coincidence, most recently by £3.48.

Although we have learned to check and successfully challenge the bill, this has annoyed us so much that we have decided to stop using the restaurant and to take every opportunity to alert others to what appears to us to be a blatantly dishonest practice.

I am loathe to write a bad review. In fact this is the first I have ever written and it is something I do not take lightly, I can assure you.

In my experience over the last 40 years of eating out, if you have a complaint the management at least try and come to some agreement or at least make some kind of conciliatory offer. However, at this establishment when the food is served cold and you ask to see the manager, who turns up 20 minutes later and tells you he has been too busy (when there are only 2 other tables occupied on a Saturday night I may add) they have a "sod off" kind of attitude.

I will never ever eat at this place again, there are 3 or 4 other Indian restaurants at Gleadless where the surroundings may not be so plush but the management far more accommodating and the food not only cheaper but better.

This was my first and last visit to this eating hole (restaurant does not really describe the place). I have often looked at the review comments with scepticism, as there are always bad reviews and I used to think that some people wanted perfection and were over critical but I am totally disgusted with the level of service and the response of the so-called management. Eat here at your peril.

Very good food, service and atmosphere and reasonably priced. This is our second visit to Chutney and I can't fault it at all. We will go back without any hesitation. The staff are very friendly and very efficient.

Just returned home from the Indus restaurant and have to say what a lovely evening we have had.

We weren't aware when we booked that Tuesday night is buffet night and we all decided to give it a try. We weren't disappointed. The food is really nice and the service was really good. We didn't feel rushed and the staff weren't over attentive, as we often find in Indian restaurants.

We will definitely be returning soon. The price is £9 a head. There were 4 of us and we had 2 drinks each and it came to £50, but we have a Taste card so the entire meal came to just £32. Bargain!

Well done Indus. We will be back!

From the outside it looks like any other cafe, nothing spectacular, but when the food came it was obviously made by someone who cares and takes an interest. The home-made fish fingers were delicious and the presentation was very good.

My girlfriend and I love it here. The staff are friendly, the food's great, comes quick, never too busy, though don't know why.

We had two starters, two mains, two rice, cheese naan, chips and two desserts, and the bill only came to £30. You can't go wrong.

Very friendly and helpful staff, the food was lovely, and fresh ingredients used, very reasonable prices, will definitely visit again.

Had a takeaway from Chutney last weekend, it was supposed to be butter chicken. All it was is tandoori chicken, they did not even make a butter sauce. All they did was pour watered-down cream over the chicken. When the red tandoori seeped up through the cream it looked and tasted disgusting. The naan breads were obviously warmed up from the day before, as they were like cardboard.

I have had curries from numerous places and have never had to complain. When I called them to tell them how bad it was they were not interested. £20 wasted but I'll never consider using them again, as there are several restaurants in the area and they are all better.

This was my 3rd visit to the restaurant and I have to say I was extremely disappointed.

The table was booked for 7:30PM. When we got in there was one larger table in already and one other couple. Within 30 minutes the restaurant was full and it was quickly obvious that the kitchen was over stretched.

We ordered starters, which took 45 minutes to arrive. Then at 9:15PM, when we still hadn't received our mains and asked, the waitress merely pointed to the kitchen as to say they were just coming out. No apology for the wait at all.

When she came to clear our table, we mentioned that we weren't happy, she said she thought that as we were drinking wine and enjoying ourselves we would be OK. I don't class an hour-and-45-minute wait for food as OK. She also said that they struggled because everyone came at once. In my opinion this is poor management. If you know you cannot handle a full restaurant then stagger the table bookings. That is not an acceptable excuse.

The poor service really was such a shame because the food is lovely. All the waitress needed to do for us to leave happy would have been a simple apology.

Delicious Italian food, interesting menu, not just your run-of-the-mill pizzas. The food was fresh, delicious and service was friendly and welcoming. Lovely spicy garlic bread!

Hilariously bad. Table booked for 8 people at 8:30PM (already later than we'd really wanted, but they couldn't fit us in earlier) and £40 deposit paid. The issues we had wouldn't have been much of a problem if just one of them had happened, it was the combination of everything that made the whole experience so ridiculous. It was like Fawlty Towers in the form of a restaurant.

The table wasn't ready when we arrived so we went to the pub across the road. Finally got table at 9:15PM. It was only set for 7 and I can't imagine where they'd have put the 8th person if they'd been there, but fortunately they'd ended up not coming. The table was still set with the grubby tablecloth with food spillages from the last group who'd sat there, which wasn't very nice.

We were left for ages before someone took our orders, and there were no vegetarian main courses on the menu despite us having checked this when we booked and being told there was at least one veggie option. The waitress said they could do some pasta as a veggie main course.

Lots of the things we ordered turned out not to be available - the waitress kept disappearing to the kitchen to check, then not coming back to us for ages, as she'd go to other tables. Drinks took ages to arrive and some had to be asked for several times before we got them. The wine that was ordered wasn't what was brought, and apparently they didn't have either still or sparkling mineral water.

At about 9:45PM, some plates of lobster were randomly brought to us, and we were told they were complimentary. Apparently they were good, but as I'm vegetarian I can't comment myself.

Once that had been eaten and the plates removed, we waited for the starter. And waited. And waited. At about 10:45PM, we told the waitress to cancel our main courses as it was so late - we still hadn't got our starters, and none of us felt like eating great big steaks at this time of night. She initially said that the chef had started cooking them so we couldn't cancel them, but we pointed out that it was now more than 2 hours after the time we'd booked for and that we still hadn't even got our starters, so it wasn't unreasonable for us not to want to pay £17 apiece for a meal we probably wouldn't be getting until 11:30pm.

Shortly after this, my starter arrived (melon in port). 5 minutes later a few other starters were brought, and after a bit more time another one arrived. We were still waiting for some garlic bread, which eventually arrived about 20 minutes after the first starter had come.

The melon in port was what it said, difficult to go far wrong with that. The moules mariniere was nothing like any moules mariniere anyone had ever seen - apparently it was OK but the taste of the mussels was drowned out by the tinned tomatoes, melted cheese and salmon on it. The garlic bread was just some slices of French bread with cheese melted onto it. The "avocado and prawns" was the worst of the lot - it was a pile of guacamole that had blatantly been bought ready-made in a tub and upended onto a plate (and it wasn't particularly nice) with a few prawns scattered on top.

We ate our starters, paid (having had to get the bill corrected, as they'd charged us for too many drinks) and went home for a takeaway, and will be avoiding this restaurant at all costs in future. I'm amazed they get any business at all.

I've been to this restaurant three times, but after my last experience, I suspect I will never return. It was so bad it was laughable.

First, there was a wait for the table, so we had to go to the pub over the road. Then, they seemed to not have anything that we wanted to order. Then, they didn't take a drinks order, so when hassled, they brought half of the drinks, the other half turning up after hassling them again. Then, the food was approximately a further 90 minutes late. Then, they made a mistake on the bill (overcharging).

We were supposed to eat at 8:30PM. We left at 11pm, having eaten just the starters (one of which arrived much later than the others because they'd sent our starter to another table and had to cook another). They did give us a free lobster course, but to be honest this one ray of sunshine was lost in the fog of incompetence that seemed to have engulfed the place.

In isolation any one of these things wouldn't ruin an evening, but I couldn't think of any other restaurant where everything that could have gone wrong has gone wrong.

The food excellent - service unobtrusive and friendly - lovely atmosphere. Will most definitely revisit and so would the others in our party.

Visited Indus in Attercliffe last night for an occasion meal with friends. It is fantastic - food is top class, cooked and prepared beautifully. Staff were wonderful. Thoroughly recommended - please visit and try for yourself.

Thank you Indus.

Went there Saturday night. It was a little quiet but we were looked after first class. The food was excellent and we will visit again soon. I will recommend to anyone. The service and food were second-to-none.

Well done to all the staff.

Very enjoyable evening. Chicken souvlaki [kebab] salad, pitta and dips were very good. My friend had chicken supreme - also great. Both starters and sweets were very tasty. The service was excellent and I have booked again for July.

After trying many restaurants in Sheffield and on the outskirts this is one of the best.
