ra16 Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 I'm thinking of opening up a .middle eastern informal cafe and deli. The point of this post is to gather some opinions from all you diners out there! I don't really know of any good middle eastern places to eat in sheffield....Am i wrong? Location wise where do people like eating? My idea at the moment is to have an informal dining area with a deli section offering some easily prepared food at home. The food would be simple but of a high standard and reasonably priced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeteM01 Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 I have had good Lebanese food at Rowsha in Walkley and some not bad stuff at Sheiks on West Street. I love the food but at both places it is really too pricey for what is quite simple food. I would definitely eat this style of food more often if the price were better and buy takeaways/ingredients if your place was in Crookes....... I have also had Egyptian food recently, at a friend's house. Melokhia, wara' enab, bamya - I could eat a lot more of this! Good luck! Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheffette Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 Can't think of any in Sheffield but I went to a great little middle eastern cafe in Leeds once - you got served at a counter which did salads, humus, wraps etc and then took it upstairs to eat sat on these lovely benches, relaxed atmosphere etc. I would definitely like something like that in Sheff. More cafe than restaurant, we have sooo many restaurants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spicey Posted June 12, 2007 Share Posted June 12, 2007 I love Lebanese and often go to Shiekhs but find it quite a lot of money. A cafe where you get wraps etc (like above post) would be great. VEGGIE food on the menu please (and I don't mean fish)! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CharleyF Posted June 12, 2007 Share Posted June 12, 2007 I can only think of Sheiks and Rowsha that do middle eastern food, but they're both formal sit-down places and it sounds like your idea is a bit different to that anyway. Personally I go for city centre places or Walkley/Crookes to eat out, just for convenience really. I also vote for some vegetarian/vegan food on the menu, but then there are a lot of middle eastern dishes that are vegetarian anyway so that shouldn't be too much of a difficulty. *hungry* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colmanspig Posted June 12, 2007 Share Posted June 12, 2007 there is also Shiraz on abbdale road. which is sit down. very good by the way. there is also a persian tea room place on abbdale road a bit closer to town Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cis_H Posted June 13, 2007 Share Posted June 13, 2007 Theres also the Turkish place on London Road - Zeughmah. Food is fab, its a bit less formal (and a bit cheaper) but quite small and always rammed! Would definitely welcome something Middle Eastern around the Hillsborough area - but would travel anywhere in the city for Felafel as good as the ones I had in Cairo! Sheffette - was the place in Leeds the 'Sahara' by any chance - on the Headrow by Argos? I used to go there a lot, it was fab, haven't been for ages but now you have reminded me... Heres a thing - the Sahara did Shisha - Water pipes with fruit tobacco - would love it if there was a place in Sheffield that did, but I guess it will not be possible under the new smoking ban? Shame! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kateee Posted June 13, 2007 Share Posted June 13, 2007 I am sure there is something similar at burngreave I could be wrong, I think its all organic too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shame! Shiraz on Abbeydale Road do that, but I guess you'll have to get there quick to try it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would be happy to see one in Crookes.......... Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
