7 Spices Balti in Sheffield

Appalling customer service from the manager 25 of us arrived as booked at 6.30 for my grandsons 16th birthday . We were seated in individual booths away from the main side of the restaurant. the booth was not comfortable for my daughter due to her being 8 months pregnant and it also meant the family in our party had their backs to each other and we had a cake that we wanted to put in the centre . The main area was almost empty apart from one couple and there was a long row of tables together we explained to the manager the booths were not suitable and asked if we could sit in the main area on the row of tables , the manager abruptly said no incase other customers walk in and want those tables .We asked if they had been reserved and he said no but you can’t sit there .we reminded him that we had booked in advance for a birthday party and would have appreciated some consideration to make us comfortable he snapped at my daughter and said the booths are fine and I can’t help . He could clearly see the children in the party becoming upset but he had no compromise was dismissive and walked away we asked to see him again and he refused to come out to speak with us Due to his rudeness we felt uncomfortable and said we were leaving my daughter asked for her £60 deposit back the manager then returned and he snapped no a deposit is a deposit do you understand and there is no refund . I said the deposit is not refundable if we had not turned up but we have turned up been treated badly and therefore forced to leave so it should be paid back he rudely said no you are not getting it back .We did not want our grandsons birthday ruined so all decided to leave without our deposit . This manager was a rude angry little man and looked quite scruffy in appearance the other staff were very apologetic and tried to reason with him on our behalf but he was just as rude to them it was clear they were embarrassed and could not apologise enough .Over the years we have had many great evenings at 7 spices with excellent customer service I can only assume it has changed hands such a shame to see it decline in this way A shout out to butlers restaurants up the road we called them and explained our situation and they went above and beyond to accommodate us despite being busy , the food , customer service and effort they went to was fantastic and thankfully my grandson had a great 16th birthday thanks to butlers they even put sparklers on his cake and put 7 slices to Shame

Good and service was excellent, very attentive and nice atmosphere, tables well placed so not on top of one another and good value for money

Very disappointed with our visit. We waited over 20 minutes for drinks after asking multiple staff members. The naan bread was the worst I've ever had—flat, dry, and lacking any garlic flavor; I've had better from the supermarket. The curry was okay, but nothing special. It seemed like the other customers, who were quite drunk, didn't notice the poor quality and service. Maybe this is standard here? The after-dinner chocolates were melted and reset, with foil stuck to them. The lemon cashew rice was just plain rice with a few cashews and some lemon peel—nothing remarkable. I won't be returning.

I had a nice experience at this Indian restaurant in Sheffield, we ordered drinks, starters and main course, food quality was really good and everything was really tasty, I'm sure that there chef is pretty old - Thank you Mr. Chef 🤗 and special thanks to the manager for giving "Saunf"(fennel seeds - mouth freshener) on request, they should keep"Gud" or "Gur"(Jaggery) also since it's a desi restaurant and desi people like to have little bit of fennel seeds and jaggery after food.

Good food, helpful service and usually space available to a modest group of 4.

Called sat night probably the last sitting but rang previously to check if we were OK. What can I say , rude staff followed by poor food , took home a doggy bag as they were rushing to get us out and tasting it the next day confirmed it bland. Will definitely not be returning or recommending this place. Avoid.

Absolutely fantastic curry! Every dish was delicious. Service was quick and the staff were friendly. Would highly recommend

Decidimos comer aquí como solo un corto paseo a nuestro hotel, el personal muy agradable y el servicio era muy rápido y nuestros platos para comer eran agradables y calientes, pedimos Pollo Dhansak & Pollo Karai, el Karai era muy agradable, pero Maridos Dhansak era bastante soso y aunque pidió que fuera más picante en cuanto a especias no lo era en absoluto. En general, fue una agradable experiencia gastronómica en un bonito restaurante espacioso y los baños estaban impecables y nos volveríamos a utilizar si fuéramos a visitar Sheffield

Very nice food staff is very friendly

Visitamos la noche del viernes en pareja sin reserva nos alojamos en un hotel cercano. Luego 2 amigos vinieron a unirse a nosotros después de que habíamos ordenado. Qué experiencia encantadora todo el personal nos hizo bienvenidos y nos encajaron y fue tarde entonces añadimos 2 pedidos adicionales después de haber hecho nuestro pedido. No hay muchos lugares que harían lo que puedo decirte. Todas nuestras comidas eran encantadoras, especialmente las chuletas de cordero. Todo era fresco y sabroso y buen tamaño de porción. También pensé que era muy razonable. Sin duda recomiendo y lo hicimos a los amigos que vinieron y se quedaron sentados por la noche también. Sin duda volveremos de nuevo gracias

Just had a delivery which was stone cold. Warmed it up but then binned it due to the foot long hair in the middle of it.

Visitó por primera vez en la noche de San Valentín con otra pareja y fue recibido por el personal encantador. Todos compartimos popadomas y una bandeja de encurtidos, fueron los popadomas más ligeros que había tenido, incluso me dieron algunos para llevar a casa, gracias. Para mi principal tenía un masala de langostino rey, para acompañar mi curry tenía arroz y un peshwari naan toda mi comida era deliciosa y caliente. Ya estoy deseando volver a visitarlo pronto. Recomendaría totalmente probar esta casa de curry, el personal y la comida eran de primer nivel.

Ate out here a couple of nights ago and everything was perfect as usual. We have been coming here for 30 years, tried plenty of other Indian restaurants but 7 spices is still the best

He estado aquí muchos años, pero la primera vez por mi OH. Este lugar nunca decepciona. La comida es muy buena, el servicio es bueno, y los precios razonables de alimentos y bebidas. Cerca de la zona de la isla de Kelham por lo que un montón de lugares para pre / post bebidas en la zona también es posible. Una vez más, buena experiencia gastronómica.

delicious food and very nice service the whole staff is amazing

One of the staff his name is zaky his behavior was very bad.

The service was very bad and so rude; the waiter ignored us for almost thirty minutes, brought the wrong order twice, never apologized, and had an attitude when we asked for basic things like water, making the entire dining experience frustrating, unprofessional, and completely unacceptable for any restaurant.

Very bad experience tonight as the staff named Zaki was very rude to us . Can't believe how they are employed there and the owners can't do anything about it. Shameful.

Staff named zaki behaved very rude to us.will never go there again.

Absolutely no hospitality at all.Can't believe how they employ such rude (someone called Zaki)and rediculing staff members who insulted us this evening. Will never go there ever.

Zaky’s behavior was very bad. He is consistently rude to colleagues, and when he speaks, saliva often ends up on the food. This is unacceptable in a food environment, and immediate action must be taken to address this behavior.

By far the best curry and delivery service in sheffield

Food was great. Delivered on time.

The food was excellent and sizzling hot . They reduced a bit the meat portion more sauce than meat and it is not cheap . But ok we enjoy it

Excellent food as usual. The lamb handi with apricots was glorious.

arguably one of the best takeaways I've spent on in years, so I'd recommend to anyone peckish!

Excellent food. The best in sheffield. Always delivered hot too.

Always guaranteed great service, attentive staff and amazing food. Eaten here mostly for large bookings and always had a great time, highly recommend the fish!!

Food good just not enough chicken in curry shame 😢

Preordered our food for 19:30, for after the kids had gone to bed. Food arrived 50 minutes early at 18:40, just as bath time was about to start. When we and to eat the food, unsurprisingly, it was stone cold! To make things worse, the bhajis and naan breads were tiny, and the curry was bang average at best. It was definitely not worth the money and we will not order again.

Fantastic food and lovely evening once again at our favourite Indian restaurant

These boys know how to make a curry. We turned up late and they put us on an absolute feast with super service. Much appreciated and will be back on our 2 week stay here. Seriously underated!

accidently sent me wrong curry with my meal but it was late om a busy friday so didnt stress the kitchen about it.... meal was enjoyable. driver friendly thanks alot.

Came here for a work's night out. The food was delicious. Would go again.

Spot on. First time ordering. Had special biryani, peshwari naan, and masala fish starter. Came in good time, and all food was made well and very tasty. Will be ordering again.

Great food, arrived when it should and was hot. Will be ordering again.

Ok place. Basement of building. No atmosphere. Food ok but v spicy and bit expensive.

Order was late, but that is to be expected on New Years Eve. Food was excellent, and the delivery driver was very polite and apologetic.

one of the best curry's I've ever had in Sheffield

Absolutely beautiful! Fresh, tasty, hot, good & good portions. We love coming to 7 Spices but sometimes we can't get so this is the next best thing and it's always great!

Fast delivery, both Balti meals were very good, especially the seafood one. Would definitely recommend

Been coming here for over 15 years and the quality of service has drastically reduced in the last 2 years. Food remains ok but service is shambolic and prices, especially on alcohol is frankly ridiculous for Sheffield.

I was unsure whether to go for a chicken or Paneer Madras as I love them both. When I told this to the server he quickly said that's not a problem, they will make a chicken and paneer mixed madras. I also asked for extra fresh chillies. Chillies arrived in a side bowl for me to add, perfect! The curry was gorgeous and I loved ever forkful. Thanks for the great food and service 😀

Calidad 5 estrellas. Visitó y tuvo la entrega muchas veces. Lo mejor en Sheffield , recomiendo encarecidamente 7 especias. Buena comida. Disfrutamos de nuestra comida esta noche.

The main was average at best in terms of flavour. The side dish tasted like a tomato stew, nothing that should be dished out from an Indian restaurant. There was no spice, no flavour. The naan bread was terrible, again with no flavour. The worst.

Ordered a King Prawn & Mushroom Balti with Special Rice it was delicious, tasty just enough spice….. highly recommend. Also it was pipping hot when it arrived. Thank you and look forward to seeing you again soon

A perfect experience throughout. Ordering / Delivery / the Food itself. Spot on!

Excellent! Best Indian meal I can recall. I recommend the Special Karahi, with Peshwari naan.

Excellent food, prompt delivery and very courteous.

Items missing from order. Tried to ring restaurant but no answer or a engaged tone

La comida fue fantástica. El servicio fue brillante. Sin duda lo recomendaría. Cinco estrellas Servicio. Gran valor también. Xxxxxxx

Grupo pequeño de 3 en un martes por la noche para la cena, no hay mucho ambiente, ya que el lugar estaba vacío, pero el personal era muy acogedor, la comida era genial y a un precio razonable, así que todos en tuvimos una buena comida

I am not happy with my order , the order arrived earlier in which was not cooked long enough both the curries didnt have no taste both like pure water, not even abit of kick to it , I ordered 1 madras and it’s meant to be hot and not one bit of taste , the chips was over cooked really hard like the oil hasn’t been changed for a long time. I am really not happy.

Fantastic restaurant with lovely food and atmosphere!

PERFECT- spot on service, delicious food, nice atmosphere! Well done to all of the staff, fantastic venue!!

Food never disappoints and us always good. polite delivey driver. thanks

Had the pleasure of dining here this weekend when you from London, food and service great, was very busy when we went in, so must be popular Tried the chicken liver Tikka dish, well worth it Will we be back, absolutely We felt welcomed, looked after and after eating very content and full.

Found a piece of metal scouring pad in my curry and when mentioned, didn’t really get much of a response, drink or maybe even money off the meal (didn’t finish it for fear of eating more metal). *UPDATE* Just reading today in the Sheffield Star that this place failed their hygiene assessment. No wonder.

food was bland tried but want for me

The curries were very nice and had a decent amount of spice. The onion bhajis were magnificent! Best takeaway curry in ages

Tasty food, great selection and friendly staff

food quality was great, but there were items missing . also the amount of pickle in the pickle tray is on the measly side and no lime pickle. the quality of the meat used was very good. would have liked some lemon wedges with the seek kebabs.

Ordered to house terrible 4 items missing but charged for them and paid delivery fee staff very rude on phones

Chicken tikka masala terrible, the sauce tasted like it was out of a jar definitely not worth the money

This is our go to for Indian takeaway. Food is always hot and tasty and delivered really quickly. I think they use their own delivery driver which makes a big difference.

Excelente servicio, la comida era excelente, el personal agradable y servicial. Servicio rápido, recomendaría y sin duda volvería.

We love 7 spices balti best curry house. Lovely food friendly staff can't do enough for you x

Excellent well cooked food. Well spiced & very tasty.

someone took my order from driver thinking it was me

The veg platter was pathetic, to begin with. And surprisingly the staff was really rude and misbehaved. It's unbelievable how some of the staff members are allowed to work with their abusive behaviour towards the customers. I would highly recommend exercising caution at this restaurant.

Horrific experience from start to finish, we reserved a table of 14 to then be placed on a table suitable for a party no larger than 8. Eventually, we got spread out between 3 tables. Then, the nonexistent service didn't shine a positive light onto the evening, had to ask repeatedly for drinks and food menus, constantly having to check with the services to see where everything is. It took over an hour to begin receiving our food, and then it took a further 30 mins for them to complete the order. Food arrived cold, tasting nothing like the dish ordered. You couldn't pay me to eat at this place, absolute disservice to Indian food across the globe

I ordered a take away, the pickle was £3 and quiet frankly the portion were very poor but tasty , the main course was a chicken vindaloo, while the sauce was very tasty there was eleven pieces of chicken. I was not impressed and will probably never go back, it has been recommended many times so was looking forward to a delicious meal sadly it was poor

Great place food always fresh and flavours spot on!!

The best thing I ate was the rice. The pakoras were tasteless and try and the chicken tikka was unnaturally red and tasted too sweet. It’s a shame as the food I had from here before was nice.

had trouble finding me but got the order and was 10 out of 10

The food was not has good has before so i won't be ordering anything from you

This was an absolutely fantastic curry. Possibly the best Indian takeaway I’ve ever had, and I’ve had a lot. Delicious. The guy who delivered it was a top bloke too.

meal was lovely came hot was spot on will order again.

One of the best Currys I've ever had

Very delicious food . Came early and it was hot

Bit late but the food was delicious . Second time ordering here and it was amazing

Fantastic food, great atmosphere and the staff couldn’t be more helpful and friendly.

Wow.! What a discovery. Just a short walk from Kelham Island and delicious choices from a great menu. The chefs own touches to classic dishes which really add to the balance of flavours. Certainly a place to return to.

Lovely curry - spicy and flavoursome. Cheers!

Cannot recommend enough. The food was exceptionally fresh and the service is oustanding with a lovely atmoshere. We will definitely be returning. Thank you💙

Decent food, but there was way too much oil on garlic naan. The place was almost empty during our visit, so the service was very good, everything was delivered promptly.

Best curry in Sheffield by far.

Good food. Excellent service and atmosphere. Would 100 percent return.

Delicious authentic punjabi food. Fresh and wonderful service to dine in or take out. Thank you 😊 💓

Beat in Sheffield. Really nice authentic. Friendly staff the best

The place was very busy for early evening Saturday night. Service was very slow and took around 90 minutes for main courses. Admittedly there were 7 in our group. The starters were very nice but the main courses were only just Luke warm and one meal was late being delivered as though it had been forgotten. The breads and parathas were very greasy and not at all pleasant. I was disappointed because I have eaten here before and had a much better meal. Even asking for the bill was three or four attempts., what made it even more disappointing was a group of unruly males at a nearby table who were loud using foul language obviously heavy in drink and damaging table decorations for fun. The staff made no attempts to calm them down and continued serving excessive alcohol to them. This was mentioned to staff who could only respond with I’m sorry. Don’t think I’ll be returning unfortunately. Definitely going downhill.

We had booked but on arrival they never had a record of us booking and seemed a bit offhand with us as we were seated. The starters were okay but they were clearing the table before we finished. When the mains came we were waiting 5 minutes for cutlery and my partner had to go ask. After finishing our food they quickly cleared the table and asked us to leave as they needed the table. Will definitely not be coming back.

Waited along time for food, Luke warm when it came, very rowdy table in the restaurant lighting cigarette and smashing candle holders, poor end to a good day.

Poor customer service very arrogant! Got seated too poppadom and drink order. Had to chase up when taking plates away that no other order was taken. Delivered starters after a while. Came back with mint sauce to table at side of us asking who had ordered mint sauce, had to tell them it’s our table. Had to then chase up main meal order after a long wait again when they cleared our table. Manager or staff came round asking if everything was ok. Told him it wasn’t as we are still waiting. His replies was you’ve had your starters haven’t you can’t you see we are busy, basically being argumentative. Main meal finally arrives the naans were as greasy as anything, didn’t provide a napkin or anything. Complained again when asked if everything was ok. His response was well you should’ve walked out, totally laughable and poor customer service. Again blamed the business, told him it’s not our fault if you’re busy. Then asked if we complained 🙄 told him yes. Knocked us some money off the final bill. Been here a few times over years. Won’t be going again! #crapallround

The curries we had were very very good, we didn't like the naans - very greasy, but everything else was brilliant, including the staff. A very modern feel to the place.

This Tikka Makhani was really nice, i'm impressed.

Sadly it was very average food, also selected the pickle tray starter which didn't come with poppadoms as you have to order them separately but wasn't stated. Onion bhajis weren't the best either. Wouldn't recommend ordering for delivery.

It was my first time here after being recommended by friends. Sadly. Although the food was average the service left little to be desired. However. Regulars seemed to get exceptional service. I’ll never get to that stage sadly as I won’t be returning.

Delicious as ever. And a very friendly courtesy call to check we were ok with a change in ingredients. Still delivered on time despite this extra work.

When we arrived we were only ones in but still felt rushed by the many waiting staff.the food was OK.the best part was the toilets were clean.
