Bambukatuk in Sheffield

Super tasty food from Bambukat!!! Chole bhature and paneer shashlik as good as Delhi food. 9/10. They didn't give mango chutney. They gave rattan which I couldn't eat as I don't find raw veg to be hygienic anywhere outside the house. Amaaaazing their samosa chaat is fab too. Hubby wanted to rogan josh to be tender. 5tara does it nice and tender he said but bambu's sauce was tasty. Ordered so can't say reg the ambience Best Indian food in Sheffield. This is coming from a Delhi girl.

I went in to satisfy my craving for an authentic Indian meal as opposed to the ones you get in the ubiquitous Indian subcontinental restaurants. The person waiting our table (who I later found out was also the owner) told us about the discounted thali offer (10 pounds instead of 16!!) I ordered the paneer thali and a mango lassi. The thali had VERY generous servings- of a main paneer curry, dal, potato sabji, naan, rice, papad, yogurt and salad. The quantity for this price was unbelievable to the point where I almost questioned the quality of food. I was proven wrong when I took in the first bite of my paneer makhani. I do not have enough words to describe this dish. I took a moment to savour it thoroughly. Not only was it a proper paneer Makhani you'd eat in India, but it was exactly like the paneer my mom would make me. I could have cried with joy! I thoroughly enjoyed the meal. I had to take some home as it was too generous a serving for my tiny appetite. I am going to go here as often as I possibly can.

best indian food in sheffield!! authentic and delicious (highlights were vada pav and paneer)

A lovely place serving a range of tasty Indian dishes. Pictured below is the chicken Thali but there were plenty of vegan and vegetarian options. Staff were friendly and the restaurant has a cozy atmosphere. £10.99 Thali deal on Sundays!

We ordered a fairly expensive takeaway from Bambukatuk last night and we were most disappointed with it. My lamb rogan josh did not reflect the menu description at all. Where were the promised tomatoes and onions? And if those chunks of meat were lamb then I am a banana - they were beef! The onion bhajis seemed undercooked and were not accompanied with salad and a minty yoghurt sauce. All four of us were unimpressed. Maybe it's better if you eat in the restaurant itself but I would never order another takeaway from there.

Still sat here, rarely write reviews but that was THE tastiest curry I've had in a long long time! Service a little slow but not annoyingly so. Meal from start to finish was fresh and mouthwateringly scrumptious 😋

Fantastic food. Lovely staff. Very busy and good atmosphere. Found it by accident and very pleased we did. Had bel puri and paneer thali. Perfect and reasonably priced.

Best Indian place out there in Sheffield. Raghav one of the server was such a help. Must try if you want to try North Indian or Indian street food.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Bambukat, and I must say, it was an exquisite culinary experience from start to finish. Nestled in Fulwood Rd , this restaurant offers more than just a meal; it delivers a memorable journey for the taste buds. From the moment I stepped through the door, I was greeted with warmth and hospitality. The ambiance was inviting, with stylish decor and soft lighting that set the perfect mood for an evening of fine dining. The attention to detail was evident in every aspect, from the immaculately set tables to the soothing background music. Now, let's talk about the food. Each dish was a masterpiece, beautifully presented and bursting with flavor. The menu boasted a delightful array of options, catering to various tastes and dietary preferences. Whether you're, a meat lover, or a vegetarian, there's something for everyone here. One standout dish was the Chole Bhature, which was cooked to perfection and left me craving for more. The ingredients were fresh and locally sourced, highlighting the restaurant's commitment to quality and sustainability. The staff was knowledgeable, attentive, and passionate about ensuring that every guest had a memorable dining experience. From recommendations on wine pairings to accommodating special requests, they went above and beyond to exceed expectations. In addition to the outstanding food and service, the value for money at Bambukat is remarkable. Overall, dining at Bambukat was an absolute pleasure. Whether you're celebrating a special occasion or simply looking for a memorable dining experience, I highly recommend paying a visit. With its delectable cuisine, inviting ambiance, and impeccable service, it's no wonder that Bambukat has earned its reputation as one of the finest dining establishments in Sheffield, Fulwood Rd.

The atmosphere was great but the food fell short. My second time here & the food did not taste good nor full of flavour. The momos were empty, the samosas too thick, the lamb curry was not edible & not full of flavour. I’m really sorry & don’t want to downplay the effort the chefs and staff put in, but it simply wasn’t good. Not worth the money.

Genuinely the best curry I’ve ever had

I visited this Indian restaurant with high expectations due to its hype, but unfortunately, the food fell short. The dishes lacked the authentic flavors I was anticipating, and overall, the taste was disappointingly bland. The restaurant's reputation seems overblown compared to the actual dining experience.

Food was just lovely, great services, casual , team night out , defo going back. Relaxed atmosphere,

Fantastic Indian Street food.Very friendly and helpful staff.Would recommend to friends.

It takes courage to dare to be different in a market as crowded as that of Indian resturants. And yet this unpretentious eatery in Sheffield's Broomhill distract has prospered by doing exactly that. Sure, you'll find the obligatory onion bhaji, but even this concession to the mainstream is served in a singular way. We tucked into their glorious deep-fried tofu, tasty small bites coated in breadcrumbs, intruiging lotus fries, a throughly well-executed tarka dall and the Vada Pav. Ah yes, the Vada Pav. This is effectively BK's signature dish made to a traditionl Mumbai recipe. It's a kind of spicy meatless hamburger but is an essential item on the list of all lovers of good indian food. At under£48 to include two glasses of Chardonnay and three lagers, it was a bargain. We left well satisfied and resolved to come again.

Food was amazing and this is one of the restaurants that hasn't tweaked the recipes too much from the originals. In other words, Indian dishes tastes authentic. Service was good and decent seating arrangements. Will definitely visit again and recommend.

Very quiet on a midweek night so lacked atmosphere but the food was great! Sadly they were out of the dumpling pudding option.

We had a lovely meal here, the food was so good and the atmosphere/service was friendly. Highly recommend the paneer butter masalla and the goan fish curry. Very reasonably priced (fed 3 adults, starters, mains and drinks for less the £90)

Cracking time this evening with June and Che.....Snap excellent and different......Lovely Stuff - thanks a bunch - XXX😀

Loved the food. It is as per Indian taste unlike others. Thanks Harshini for the lovely hospitality

Delicious food, well presented and very flavoursome.

So much better than your run-of-the-mill British Indian restaurant. The street food vibe feels so authentic and every dish was delicious. To share between two we had small plates of prawns, paneer, fish, dal, dumplings and roti. Everything was so fresh, flavourful and piping hot. The mango lassi was delightful. Lots of choice for veggies/vegans. Friendly, warm atmosphere, staff were very helpful and we were able to take home what we couldn’t finish. Would love to return.

We had ordered Paneer thali via uber eats, paneer curry was disappointing and thali had aloo vada instead of raita. Only good thing in thali was rice and dal. Very bad experience not at all worth money charged.

We ordered a takeaway lamb rogan josh and the amritsari chole, their recommended vegetarian dish. The sauce for both these dishes looked and tasted exactly the same except for a few bits of dry lamb in one dish and a few chickpeas in the other. Lots of sauce and not much substance. It was very expensive for what it was. Very Disappointing!!

Had the Goan Fish Curry here last night. Excellent food and service. Will be back here again for sure on my next visit to Sheffield.

The only Indian in Broomhill now. Cash only for take aways. The menu marks vegan dishes and there is a reasonable choice. The tofu starter was unique and very enjoyable. I was disappointed with the dal tadka, I found it lacking in substance and flavour.

The best Indian restaurant I have been to. Even my parents enjoyed the food. Will be back soon for sure.

Ordered a takeaway from here. However, there was an item missing. I called to ask about it, and was told that there couldn't possibly be anything missing as they check every order! Well you didn't check this one did you!

We ordered Bambukat as a takeaway on Just eat. Extremely disappointing service as they left out a portion of rice and then implied we were lying when we called them back regarding this, and would not replace or refund. Instead they stated “we check all our orders and make sure everything is correct”. Clearly you don’t check all you orders, and have now lost our future custom.

The food here is different to you "standard" curry house, and what a welcome surprise it is. Delightfully different dishes with hints of traditional flavours, mixed with new styles, spices and novelty. My only criticism is everything has a decent dose of chilli, and so, while delicious, is on the hot side. Will definately return!

Great food, friendly staff, unpretentious place, lovely.

This is our Indian restaurant of choice in Sheffield. The food is well cooked, well spiced and the Thali option is a particular favourite. The service is always cheerful, friendly and informative.

Such a great experience having dinner. The food and service was excellent, with a nice relaxed atmosphere. We ordered the Chicken 65, a Prawn Thali, a Chicken curry (can't remember which one), with a pilau rice & garlic naan to share. We left absolutely stuffed and very happy.

Had been thinking of ordering from here for quite sometime, the menu seemed nice. Got food delivered, packaged well. Authentic Indian food. The chole bhature was really good, good portions as well. The shahi paneer in the thali was the star, just like back home in India. The momos were nice but without the accompanying chutney lost it’s appeal. Would like to try something else from here again.

Amazing food that was very tasty for good value. I had the Thali and it was superb. I asked foe it to be spicy and the spice was amazing, but didn't drown out any of the flavours. I also had chicken tikka it was marinated and the flavour was soaked in.

Nicely cooked indian street food - the thalis are particularly good. The one thing preventing 5 stars is they stopped the lunchtime deals so costs a bit more than previously.

The food and service was great and the quantity is also generous.

Great food, fast, friendly service.

Order through deliveroo and found a stone in my rice which completely ruined my dinner

Great food, good service and reasonably priced.

Amazing food, lovely vibe, highly recommend!

Lovely food and excellent service in good price Highly recommend

Must visit restaurant for desi food, Went with my friends. The food was delicious. Thanks to Chef, service was mind blowing. The waitress was cool and her suggestions to order food 🥘 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻. The restaurant was full & I personally got impressed with the way she handled the whole restaurant. Once again thanks to the whole team & the Lady.

It was nice meal in the afternoon of Sunday to eat there. Quiet but nice. You can park the car at parking above of Morrison near by. Food was tasty and fresh. Next time we gonna try more things.

Being an Indian and loving Indian street food I really ensured that I had low expectations from the place. But even with my low expectations I was appalled at the food when they served it. I ordered pani puri, bhel puri and momos. The pani puri, if you could call it that had LITERALLY one tiny piece of potato in each puri and we got 7 tiny puris. Even at the worst shop in India you could expect a better filling of chickpeas, potato and onions. The pani served with it was just blended mint and water. The bhel puri had a sour flavour which was the only thing that registered. We got 5 tiny momos which were clearly frozen and tasted horrible. I have had better frozen momos and dumplings from the supermarkets than this. The worst part was it was quite obvious that the manager was aware that the food is not what one gets in India. He did not bother to check if the food was okay. I saw many British People in the shop and I feel really terrible knowing that they would be misled to think they were being served Indian food when in reality they are just being cheated out of their money. Overall the food was abysmal and the portions were unacceptable and it was not worth a single cent. The only good thing I would say is that the waitress was a really sweet person who was the only person who cared about customer service. Avoid at all costs the place has sticky floors and yucky food.

The best Indian restaurant in Sheffield so far. Had a lovely experience every time I visited and they never fail to please me with the food. The staff are very kind, polite and welcoming. I strongly recommend everyone to try Bambukat for the best Indian food experience.

Absolutely banging food. Nothing comes close in Sheffield for Indian food. Finest quality Indian street food coked with love!

Sweet Jesus. Hella salty! Deliriously thirsty this morning as a result. Had the Bambukat chicken and Goan fish. Popadoms, smashed to smithereens, like Chef had put his fist through em. You guys really shrimped on the like pickle too. Realistically a stamp size, why ration that spicy goodness? - it’s delicious. Flipping expensive too! £40 for a takeaway. Two curries, popadom dust, teaspoon of pickles, rice and bread. Not worth it folks.

First time here and won't be the last, Tried the Thali and was fantastic really pleasant lovely staff would highly recommend.

So far the best indian authentic street food I had in Sheffield. The price was also reasonable in terms with the quantity. Highly recommended.

Plentiful well prepared and cooked food at reasonable prices. Good service and a relaxed atmosphere.

Great food, highly recommend the bambukat chicken style curry.

Friendly and warm service (and atmosphere). Feels lovely and authentic. Great tasting street food!

We love this little Indian street food restaurant the flavours are so different and always great food and speedy service. Today was no exception The reason for dropping a star today was because our timbale trays were cold so we’re our dinner plates so the food went cold very quickly. The restaurant was cold also so just marred our visit today. Surely when the young lady put our plates down she would have know they were freezing cold? Shame 1st time I’ve ever had a problem here. Definitely still be back but next time I will make sure the plates are hot

Food was good, though we found the paneer butter Masala too sweet. Service was good and so was the environment.

Honestly very disappointed with the food at Bambukat. Its a restaurant I'd been waiting to visit for a long time and had read good reviews so had high expectations. The service was good and both waitresses were very friendly. However, the quality of the food was not worth the money at all. The Jingha which we all had to start must have been straight out a freezer and chucked into a fryer. Very little flavour. The main was quite average.

Went for lunch. Good choice of dishes and lunchtime deals - 3 for 2 on small plates; free rice and naan with main curries. The one thing preventing me giving 5 stars is that I like my poppadoms a bit larger.

Just been to our favourite Indian Restaurant, what a shame they now don't do a curry sauce to go with your Biryani. If you want a sauce you have to order a main curry? The only sauce they serve is Raita for your Biryani. Not good at all

Superb authentic Indian food. Excellent service and an all rounder!

Service and food was excellent and lovely relaxed setting. Menu is different from your standard curry house. The tali was great. Well recommended.

I ordered a thali. The meal was luke warm apart from the potatoes which were cold. I mentioned it twice to the staff but nothing was done to rectify it and a discount wasn't offered as compensation either. I will not be returning.

Just left restaurant, my partner had a paneer thali unfortunately it was cold he did tell the waitress twice. No apology she said she would tell the kitchen. No one said sorry or offered any composition. My meal was lovely. We Will not be back again.

Indian street food & something very different. Staff are very attentive & efficient. Food tastes ABSOLUTELY superb... but portion sizes are quite small. If you're a big eater, you may be left feeling hungry afterwards! Nevertheless, a great experience. 😊👍

Another good meal out. Excellent Indian 'street food' friendly service

Overall good and friendly, helpful staff.

Always lovely! One of my favourite places to est in Sheffield. Lovely atmosphere and great vegan/vegetarian options. Price is good

Absolutely delicious- particularly recommend the Goan fish curry!

Went here to celebrate a family birthday and thought we would try somewhere we have not been to before. We booked ahead and arrived on time though we did have to wait about 15minsfor our table to be vacated. Good choice of street food available including meat dishes. We selected a choice of starters all of which were tasty and a chicken, lamb and fish curry for mains. Though the dishes were not too hot we could have had a little more spice. The chilli and garlic naans were delicately thin and light which is great as they do not serve naans this good in other restaurants. The plus point and nice touch is that they offer 10% discount on certain weekday’s for NHS staff. Service was slower but young lady was doing her best on her own and was polite and attentive. Food overall was pretty good.

Food quality: Excellent Staff: Polite Manager/owner: didn't seem friendly Ambience: Desi and loved it

As Indians we were so pleased to discover Indian Street food in Sheffield! Bhel Puri, Pani Puri was delicious. We can’t wait to return and savour all that they have to offer, I am sure we will not be disappointed! Thank you for a lovely evening

Loved the thali pain puri and vada pan Different delicious and plentiful for two people Service lovely and friendly quirky atmosphere. So good we are back tonight to try more different and delicious street food

Try the Thali trays!! Unbelievable and great value… starter, main and side all in one tray! Great food, the staff are really lovely too. Indian lager on draught too!

Absolutely fantastic, the service was lovely, the food was good and cheap! Would recommend to anyone, cheers :)

(+) Presentation of food (+)Good fast service (+)Good music (-) starters bit salty, smaller portions (-) mains puri bhaji - puri was nice but bhaji not much taste (-) expensive

We order chicken 65 from deliveroo but it was not good and quality of chicken was very low might be cooked before and frozen. No help was provided from the staff was well when ringed to enquire about the same. Worst experience overall.

The classic situation…the place is empty, I ordered an hour ago…was told it would be 5 minutes on arrival…now 22 minutes have passed and still I wait!

I would definitely suggest this place for an authentic Indian street food experience. I have tried their pani puri, chicken biryani, Naan and paneer masala all of which were absolutely delicious. A lovely place with very nice interiors, friendly staff and reasonable pricing. Worth a try!!

Simply the best curry we've had in a long time. Loved it.. Definitely coming back next time we're in Sheffield

Ordered chicken 65, naans and roadside dal taska. We had no expectation on this restaurant as this was our first visit to Sheffield and not heard of this restaurant before. To our surprise it was very good. Our kids enjoyed chicken 65. It was spicy and tasty. We loved the food though it was ordered and delivered online. Definitely recommended.

Lovely cosy and the best Indian food. Really lovely waitress made it for us so friendly and helpful shes a credit to the place.. x

Incredibly tasty food, lovely staff, very reasonable prices considering the quality of the food. We popped in late night on a Sunday not long before the kitchen closed, half expecting to be turned away (we wouldn’t usually do this and were sure to be out before closing time), and wouldn’t have been offended if they did, but I’m glad they didn’t because this was the best curry we’ve had for a while. We shared a lamb rogan josh, kadahi chicken, pilau rice and cheesy naan and would enthusiastically recommend all of it. Generous portions of the curries with plenty of meat and sauce and the naans were fresh and tasty without being stodgy, the perfect curry. Absolutely delicious and if we ever find ourselves in the area again we will definitely be returning. Thanks!

A fantastic meal, really worth a visit

Big fan of the street food scene. Missed out on our last few visits to Sheffield for various reasons but finished off a pub crawl on Good Friday at this lovely relaxed cafe. A couple of gin and tonics with 3 small dishes and a naan was a good end to a long day out. ( also excellent pappadums to start.) Loved the chana and the keema. The chicken dish was also great. Usually end up in Zara in Crookes but happy to finish here. Well worth a visit.

We have ordered takeaways three times from Bambukat and it is honestly the very best we’ve ever had. Not a single dud dish. A huge variety of flavours and interesting, novel small plates. This place beats Dishoom on authenticity and quality and is an absolute gem in Sheffield. Lotus fry and Delhi aloo tikki chaat stand out dishes but all delicious.

Wonderful vibe, great service and the food was outstanding!

Very friendly, great service and gorgeous food. We really enjoyed our meal here and hope Bambukat will be here for years to come.

Environment is not bad. Good vibe but Food review out of 10 Delhi tikki chat - 9/10 Amritsari special Chole (Chickpea) - 2/10 <Disappointing> Chicken 65 - 6/10 Chicken Mom - 6/10

Visited for the first time today. The food was absolutely excellent. Genuine Indian cooking. Can't wait to go back again.

Not a massive menu which I prefer. We ordered 4 small plates and a thali between 2 of us. The lotus root fry was amazing and the fish curry on the thali was possibly the best fish curry I have had. Definitely a place I will be going back to time and time again.

(Ordered from deliveroo) Tofu masaledaar was really good but the rest of the meal was, at best, average for a premium price. Veg biryani was just plain white rice with a few veg for £9.50. Maybe I just caught them at a bad time, but very disappointing take-away.

It's all about the small plates! Beautiful Indian street food. I totally recommend you work your way through the small plates menu, beautiful flavours, fresh, delicious, good quality food, made with love. Out of this world. Will come again.

The best place to have Indian food. They have vegan options as well. Yummy, mouthwatering food, nice ambience and my friends loved it as well. Will surely visit again.

Awesome starters.best in Sheffield

This place is really nice, can't believe I'd never been! Vegan options are great. I tried the bhaji, thali and lotus root all of them were great 👌🏻 definitely recommend

Interesting menu and quick delivery. We were a bit disappointed with stingyness on the meat however. Both our curries had 5-6 pieces of meat in each one. It seemed mostly sauce.

My experience is limited to take aways. Food is delicious. Have tried lamb biriyani and chicken biriyani with raita and curry sauce. The biriyani is very good. The taste/flavour of raita varies each time and the curry sauce is very tasty. Cash only for takeaways. Parking not available on site.

Best meal out I've had in Sheffield so far! Delicious

Excellent food as usual. The lamb biryani was very nice.

Great food. Simple, easy, friendly.

Top quality food, great starters and tasty mains
