The steel city is possibly Yorkshire’s biggest melting pot of cultures and cuisines. With many great restaurants in every suburb. Lovers of spice and all things nice needn’t travel far, from street food to fine dining and everything in between, our guide to the best Indian restaurants in Sheffield will ensure you’ll never be able to order a takeout again.

Ashoka

Ashoka is an obvious contender for the best Indian restaurants in Sheffield. These guys have been serving the masses since 1967, making them Sheffield’s oldest Indian restaurant that is still standing. They’ve built up a loyal following since then and even have a legion of celebrity fans! ‘Inspired by India – Made in Sheffield’ is their slogan, representing their exciting menu full of staple classics, wood-smoked tandoor and some trademarked dishes such as their famous Taxi Driver Curry – Smoky chicken tikka with garlic minced lamb, fresh green chillies cooked in a cast-iron karai. Beautiful.

Lavang

Indian food with a fine-dining twist! Lavang brings a modern dining experience to Sheffield with a more refined approach than your traditional curry house. Expect high-quality seasonal dishes in a contemporary, sleek setting that still gives off that doors-always-open atmosphere. The team love getting to know repeat customers that come through the door and pride themselves on providing an unpretentious venue that guests feel comfortable in. Lavang’s in-house sommelier has curated a superb wine selection to complement the robust flavours in their oh-so-tempting menu. It’s no coincidence we’ve included Lavang as one of the best Indian restaurants in Sheffield.

Urban Choola

Fresh produce. Finely spiced. Full of flavour. Urban Choola is next on our list of best Indian restaurants in Sheffield. They take their inspiration from the hustle and bustle of street vendors in India, celebrating North Indian cuisine with Punjabi influences.

The dishes are authentic with a contemporary twist, and all made with high quality and seasonal ingredients. Expect a range of dishes cooked in the tandoor as well as a cherry-picked selection of mouth-watering delicacies from several other regions of the sub-continent. They have a great vegan menu too.

From Gujarat to the heart of Sheffield, MA-Ba tells a story of the family’s journey using traditional recipes passed down through generations. Choose from a tempting range of home-cooked dishes, many of which are suitable for vegans and all can be enjoyed at any time of the day.

Being based inside Cutlery Works food hall means you can pick from a wide range of vendors, but we’re certain that you’ll be more than satisfied with ordering from this venue alone. Be sure to pop in on a Sunday for their special Thali platters!

Mowgli

Last, but not least on our list of best Indian restaurants in Sheffield is Mowgli. This restaurant is not about the intimate, hushed dining experience. It is about the smash and grab zing of healthy, virtuosic herbs and spices and explosive flavours. Sheffield is home to Mowgli’s first venue in Yorkshire and they’ve been a hit ever since! Showcasing food from the homes and streets of India, a million miles away from the ‘curry’ stereotype.

We recommend their four-tiered tiffin boxes if you want to try a mixture of dishes – It’s like food roulette, but with zero risks because every dish is guaranteed to be delicious. All of this can be enjoyed on their iconic swings under twinkly fairy lights.
