Viraaj - Sheffield

Exceptional Indian restaurant in the heart of Woodseats. Decent sized portions, visually beautiful and with incredible flavours. Add to that, it's not expensive. Topped off with Kingfisher lager and great service.

Very poor tbf been told to go here don't know how it's won awards everything died in red food colouring really disappointing meal won't be returning

The food was definitely 5* the best in Sheffield. Not been in for a few years as they don’t open on a Tuesday anymore but we spotted it open and went in. The let down was the female waitress who was 1*…. On being seated she just stood at the end of the table while we decided on a drink more professional to give a few minutes and come back. Same one as soon as finished starter swiped the plate away while still chewing. She didnt bring the main meals but cleared the plates and brought the hot towel… a few minutes later she came over and said “ are you ready for your bill” never asked if wanted any more drinks , desert , tea/coffee. Made us feel like we needed to leave so got it paid and rushed the last of the drinks and left.

Restaurant has a nice atmosphere and staff are friendly. I ordered the Cod Tandoori and it was very rubbery and not great. However my partner had chicken which she did enjoy. Starters, poppadoms and pickle tray were nice too aswell.

We ate as a group of 4 an a quite busy Saturday evening. We had three different starters between us, all went down well. We had 4 different main courses and left nothing but a bit of naan. The only thing that stopped me giving 5 stars was we thought that the plates and dishes could have done with being warm when the food was placed in them, it's a small point but makes so much of a difference to the meal. This made both the starters and the mains go cool quickly, but otherwise the flavours and spicing were well controlled and appropriate.
