Dan_Ashcroft Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 If that's Mei's next to Pollard's Coffee Shop in town- the one downstairs- I noticed a sign outside saying they're packing it in at the end of the month. Sorry to question your recommendation, but the first and only time I went there I couldn't taste the food for the smell of drains. Disgusting place. Yes, on Charles Street, that's the one. That's sad. It was a bit dingy going down the stairs there (I never noticed any smell problem on my visits) but the food was always absolutely superb - possibly the best Chinese I've had west of Urumqi. They never seemed to get much of a non-Chinese crowd in though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That website is environmental health inspection ratings btw, nothing to do with the food, environment, staff etc. Fastfood places always tend to come highest on those sort of things as they have very high level policies (hand washing training courses etc) in place.

Gauri1 Posted January 26, 2009 Share Posted January 26, 2009 I won’t bore you with the details, but imagine you go and book a table at Cafe guru for a birthday party. You collect and pay a deposit..............However on the night lots of people can’t make it for one reason or another. Now the last thing I expected was for the management to be extremely unprofessional and rude about it........ but they were! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kipling Posted January 26, 2009 Share Posted January 26, 2009 I went to Akbars the other night, that was pretty amazing. There was free entertainment too, in the form of a fight Sheffield (I'm not from here) seems to have a lot of excellent curry houses and good Italians. Good Italian restaurants, I mean. Akbars is not one of them, I think it isn't that good. When I tried the curyy I ordered it was one of the worst I have had, I even complained and the manager said curries taste different when you've had a few drinks. I had one bottle....... whatever he was intending by that I'm not sure. I have no idea why lots of people like it. Can someone please explain why they think the food is good. ps I spend half of my life in Bradford Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brianthedog Posted January 26, 2009 Share Posted January 26, 2009 I think food is amatter of personal choice someone may love a place onother think it terrible. one of my favorite indian restaurants is Ranmoor Tandori we have yet to take anyone who hasn't enjoyed it aiso what about Rafters The Blue room there's lots of good places if you take the trouble to try then make your own mind up Not a fan in the slightest, I'm afraid. I used to live round the corner and tried it on several occasions. It's not terrible, just rather bland, in my opinion. Much prefer the cheaper - and rather shabby! - Clay Oven. I know a lot of people who share my opinion, and I know an equal number who share yours! I love Rafters - been going there for years and am yet to be disappointed. Their bread and butter pudding is brilliant! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crookesey Posted January 26, 2009 Share Posted January 26, 2009 A question please. Many Pakistani and Bangladeshi restaurants and take aways advertise that they serve 'traditional/genuine Indian cuisine'. Most people (other than Asians) wouldn't have a clue what countries food they are about to partake of when they walk into a so called 'Indian' restaurant, is this fair? I assume that most 'Indian' restaurants and take aways in Sheffield are Pakistani or Bangladeshi owned, but which is which is anybodies guess (well it is to me). Both of these nations are predominantly Muslim, and I'm assuming that there are many differences between Muslim and Hindu food, pork and beef come to mind for a start. I know that Nirmals on Glossop Road is Indian, are there anymore genuine Indian restaurants in Sheffield? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
