If you’re a food-lover like me, Sheffield has so much to offer you. As well as all of the chain restaurants that you can get in many cities in the UK, you can also try out delicious authentic food from around the world.
Mowgli
If you’re looking for an atmospheric and exotic meal, you need look no further! Mowgli is an Indian street food restaurant that opened very recently on Ecclesall Road. The extensive menu offers a range of delicious, authentic Indian dishes, so whatever you’re looking for, you’ll be spoilt for choice. The whole restaurant has a unique atmosphere, with aesthetic decorations and sparkling lights everywhere you look. Welcoming, friendly and helpful service is another aspect which makes this restaurant so enjoyable; the staff are happy to explain the more intriguing options on the menu and to make recommendations if you’re struggling to choose. One of my personal favourite things about Mowgli are its swinging chairs; in addition to the more traditional dining table and chairs, several of the tables feature unique swinging benches which are a great experience!
Proove
Proove is a less expensive but equally enjoyable option, offering the best pizza in Sheffield (in my opinion)! Although the menu does not offer a huge choice, the pizzas are delicious and freshly cooked in an open kitchen and traditional pizza oven. The food is good quality for a reasonable price, and the service is quick and friendly. This makes Proove one of my favourite places in Sheffield to go for a more casual dining experience or mid-week treat. It makes a nice change from some of the larger, pizza restaurant chains, and as a bonus, is only around a 5 minute walk from the Management School.
The Botanist
Last but not least is the Botanist. The Botanist is conveniently located in the centre of Sheffield, in a stunning, rustic building in Leopold Square. This menu has something for everyone, with a range of delicious options from burgers to salads to steaks, and not forgetting their impressive hanging kebabs! The Botanist is particularly well-known for its unusual, extraordinary cocktails, making the drinks menu well worth exploring. An added bonus is that there is often live music in the evenings. The combination of beautiful interior décor and delicious food makes this my favourite place to take visiting friends or family, or for going out for a celebratory meal.
