I have lived not far from Sheffield for over a year.
I have yet to find a great curry. Went to Mangla on Sat. It was fine - fresh food etc but not authentic or interesting or particularly tasty.
Have tried a few others.
Currys are pretty subjective ie plenty of people like the restuarants I dont rate.
I quite like Akbars - I havent been to the Sheffield one (Rotheram).
Surely there must be a top quality authenic place somewhere in Sheffield ?

There is (or was...) a great place in Sheffield that had a great signature* dish of Chicken Silly Hot. It wasbiggrin




*Assuming that a place with formica tables and no licence can have a "signature dish"

Nirmal's is good. Authentic. I'm not sure which road it's on though.

Blimey, is she still going ?

It is on Glossop Road, top of West Street. Expensive when you were a student ! Whilst good, not a patch on Wakefield/Huddersfield/Bradford etc.

Ah the good old days of West Street. There used to be a pub near Nirmal's which was done out on the inside to look like you were on HMS Victory. What ever happened to theme pubs!

'She' being the great big fat Indian woman who sits at your table whilst taking your order. I'm not sure Noger, I've not been in a while.

Yes a.k.a Nirmal smile

Sits at your table and makes you choose stuff of the 'specials' board !

Blimey, she was there 25 years ago, so is doing well if she is still about.
