Sheffield is a city and metropolitan borough in the English country of South Yorkshire, located at a distance of 250 miles from Edinburgh, with real character, bursting with energy and ideas. Sheffield is situated at the foot of the Pennine highlands at a point where for streams- the Sheaf, Porter, Rivelin and Loxley, running in deep valleys converge to form the River Don. It’s a city of creative spirit and unconventional beauty nestled within seven hills. Expect awesome venues, legendary delegate experiences, friendly people and culinary delights, against a backdrop of northern cool. With the Indian community settling in parts of the city, various Indian restaurants serving Indian cuisine and familiar flavours have flourished all around the city.
From various Indian places, some of the best places to go to for good Indian flavours while in Sheffield are:
- Lavang.
Serves authentic Indian cuisine with a little twist. The refined modern fine-dining experience replaces the traditional curry house approach yet retains the welcoming ambience with Indian hospitality. Lavant’s in-house sommelier has curated a superb wine selection to complement the robust flavours in their oh-so-tempting menu.
