This is a question that often turns into an argument nearly as heated as the dinner/lunch/tea debate. Whether it’s a delivery, take away or a trip to an Indian restaurant, there’s so many great options in Sheffield these days, one particular restaurant has coined the phrase ‘reyt good curreh’, more on those guys later.
It would seem unfair to rank them so here’s a few picks that you can guarantee excellence when looking for Sheffield’s best curry house.
Ok, first up it’s Urban Choola on Ecclesall Road. They’ve been serving up award winning dishes for years but they continue to evolve. At Urban Choola you get a true taste of North India cuisine, there’s Punjabi influences and a focus on dishes cooked in the tandoor.
What sets Urban Choola apart from others is that they recreate Indian street food dishes into restaurant standard plates that are unique.
