In October this year, a new Indian Restaurant & Takeaway; Curry Hive, opened it’s doors in Chapeltown, Sheffield and we just HAD to be some of the first to try it out… I am happy to say we now have 2 decent curry houses within walking distance of where we live!

As it was opening night, the restaurant was fairly busy and there was a small wait for starters, but the staff kept us updated and gave us their apologies and in all honesty, the wait wasn’t even that long. All the food was delicious, we enjoyed every bit and I found a new favourite curry (see below)! What we couldn’t manage to eat, we brought home for lunch the next day, but it turned out it was only enough for one of us in the end.

We enjoyed;

• 2 Poppadoms & Pickle Tray (£5.85)- a must
• 3 pc Onion Bhaji (£3.50) – obviously homemade and a bargain price
• Lamb Chops (£4.95) – lovely spices & marinade used, small chops
• Chef’s Signature Chicken Katta Masala (£9.95) – Medium to Fairly Spicy, saucy, big chunks of chicken; this was reyt up my street and I will be ordering this again. Poss a new fave curry of mine!
• Chef’s Signature Lamb Hariali (£10.95) – Fairly hot dish with tender chunks of lamb that were nicely pink in the middle.
• Pilau Rice (£3.50) & Cheese Naan (£3.50)- could have been a lot cheesier in my opinion, haha

We really enjoyed the food here. The curries were quite oily but were still delicious.

The atmosphere got better during our visit as it went on. You could initially tell it was open night with very minor hiccups (music kept going off, food taken to wrong tables). We thought that the prices reflected real value for money.

The owners, who previously owned The Curry Spoon in Hillsborough (so you know you’re in good hands), take pride in their chef’s serving good food, especially the lamb which should be tender and melt-in-the-mouth. If ever it’s chewy and tough, they encourage you to let them know!
