Maveli, Sheffield in Sheffield

The best Indian food I've ever had!

great food (ordered takeout). satiated a thai appetite for spice so im happy

i really didn’t enjoy my fish curry it was battered in something. Didn’t rate any of the dishes i had. Chapati was fine.

I've eaten in with a group and had a delivery. Some of the most delicious vegan Indian food I've ever had.

Cosy restaurant serving South Indian food. The biriyani, especially the basmati rice, is tasty. A bit dry and you may want to order some gravy to go with it but for me, with the yogurt, it’s fine. Not salty and spiced flavour. The cauliflower varudal is a good choice. It’s fried nicely and not oily; good with the chutney provided. Same with the medu vada.

Food is so good compliment to chefs and whole team. Dosa was really nice

Came here for the first time and never had a South Indian dish before. It was incredible and the owner was outstanding helping us with our order and also let us try some traditional bread. The restaurant as clean and everyone was full of smiles and could not help enough. The food was so nice and I would recommend to anyone looking for something different in Sheffield.

Authentic South Indian restaurant in Sheffield. Food was delicious. Staff were attentive and very friendly. Food came out hot. Will go again with family.

VERY BAD experience. Unsafe and non-sanitary. There was an iron nail in my food and when asked about it to the guy (maybe assistant manager) .. his explanation was that the iron nail might be part of the fan and it fell down while cleaning. How unhealthy is it to clean your equipment while cooking? What if someone had swallowed it? Please .. anybody reading this.. goto other good South Indian restaurants and avoid Maveli else please beware of such things while eating from there. All that they did was reduce 11 pounds for the chettinad chicken curry. There were 10 of us and no one could eat later after watching the NAIL IN THE CURRY. This restaurant doesn’t even deserve 1 star. Customer service 0/5

Ordered poppadoms and the ‘fresh South Indian chutneys’ were not included so ate them with the cold tomato sauce which I think is served with the chicken masala dosa I ordered, whichever dish they were for..why. And then the biggest disappointment of my meal was the onion bhajji which was undercooked, soggy and tasteless, definitely not what anyone would expect when spending £25 on takeaway.

Amazing food, so beautifully made. Authentic and delicious.

Wonderful food and staff is so polite and humble. Amazing service. Will definitely recommend. Umesh and Ragi were excellent.

Great place, came yesterday for a birthday meal for a friend who is vegan, the menu was extensive and the staff were attentive despite 6 of us walking in, service was excellent. Will be coming again

Great service, great atmosphere. Staff is courteous and serves you really well especially Umesh who knows the job really well! Andra chilli paneer and Masala Idli was delicious. Dosa and sambhar could be improved, dosa wasn’t crispy and became too soggy after a while

Amazing food and service by Umesh

What a menu - they said themselves it was a bit short, I’d say it was absolutely perfect. It tells a story of care and quality. I wasn’t wrong. It was hard to choose, so we chose way too much food. Good sizes, delicious taste. I had the vegetable chettinad. It was warm in its taste, not too spicy, full of flavours! The others had some squid and dosa, and they were very happy as well. I also ordered onion bhaji, but unfortunately I don’t like chaat masala. That’s my luck, I enjoyed the poppadum with chutney instead. The beef peralan was delicious as well. The water was tap and I can’t drink that, but they have a good selection of cold drinks. Service was great, lovely people working there! The place itself is great, no loud music, happy people. It’s easy to talk with those with you, despite the restaurant was full. I appreciate that.

Felt like staying in so ordered a deliveroo from here. Fairly expensive so initially sceptical but my word 10/10 worth it! Food was delicious and SUPER flavoured- can’t wait to visit the restaurant in person:)

This place offers authentic South Indian cuisine in Sheffield, and apparently one of the better ones too. We ordered a variety of biryani and curries. Food was not bad. I just wish their customer service could be better. We were seated right next to a big group in a long table even though there were many empty 4 seater tables. Sure enough everyone walking by would hit me or my chair. Even though there were many servers around, nobody did anything. Fed up. We rearranged our table and chairs ourselves to get out of the flow. Requesting service from the staff for missing cutlery or drinks were also hit and miss.

Really a lovely experience. Went there with friends and tasted some really good Indian food. The Dosa is something you really want to try when going here. Definitely a must go

I have been dining in form couple years now and food is always tasty and authentic Staffs are welcoming and prompt However We once had problem with one chicken starter which was neither replaced nor waved off the bill

Amazing food. The lady who served us was a little too shy and clumsy a bit but that's okay. Very good portion of food with good amount of meat. Will definitely return!

Their Indian food was delicious once. I took lamb biryani, chicken korma, potatoes, and paratha bread from them. To be honest, everything was delicious once, and the price is 170 riyals.

Superb food, ambience and service, we all agreed one of the best currys we've ever had! Would highly recommend the chicken massala dosa, pepper chicken and chicken madras.

Very good service, staff were very helpful and responsive , most of all very friendly. 5* 😊

Our food was superb. Some unusual dishes that were really tasty. Staff were friendly and the service was excellent. I'd recommend eating here.

Food is not bad. Tried andra chilli chicken which had a good spice level. Idli & dosa was good as well however they give less amount of sambhar and refill costs money.

Today, we had a quick evening meal at Maveli Restaurant, and it truly brought the flavors of South India to our tongues. The dishes were authentic, with rich and aromatic spices that perfectly captured the essence of South Indian cuisine. The ambiance added to the experience, making it a delightful escape from the everyday hustle. While the price is on the higher side, it feels justified for the quality and authenticity offered. Maveli Restaurant may not be the most budget-friendly option, but it's certainly worth indulging in once in a while for a special treat. Overall, a satisfying experience that we'd recommend to anyone craving genuine South Indian flavors. Dont forget to have the Indian Tea !

Good food and good service, highly recommend!

Perfect for an early evening sitting which we had yesterday. I have never seen so much food on a table in the UK, we couldn't finish it. It's second only to a place in Lanzarote, Spain that I've also reviewed on that front. Very attentive, polite staff. They could not go out of their way enough. Very accommodating. I wish I had gone for something a little milder as I did have to stop about 3/4 of the way through, but the flavour, the breads and the sauces were perfect. I will definitely recommend to friends in the south in case they ever end up in the direction of Sheffield.

10 stars! They are so authentically South Indian. I find the ubiquitous use of “ Indian Restaurant’ very deceptive. India is large and the cuisine is just as much varied. I find IMaveli refreshing it is quintessentially South Indian in the spices they use and taste, Well done Madeline for offering us this amazing cuisine😍

Yesterday , I visited Maveli Restaurant with my friends.It was a table of four. The food tasted excellent. We ordered Chettinad mutton curry, beef fry, porota, and mango pistachio & vanilla pannacotta. The staff treated us in a friendly and respectful way , and they presented the food beautifully. The Chettinad mutton curry and beef fry were particularly good, with an authentic taste and perfectly cooked. The food was fresh, and the gravy was very delicious. The presentation and portion sizes were impressive and well worth the money. It was a wonderful experience, and I will definitely try it again.

Excellent service. Outstanding food. Great value for money

These pictures will say the taste (worst ever). Both Beef peralan and Motton chettinadu have the same taste (same gravy). Chittinadu chikken biriyani was the worst choice ever made. Mysoor masala dosa 2/5. Frozen idili and porotta not freshly cooked. Kothuporotta 2/5. Dear foodies, Please think twice before making any decisions

Waste food , tasteless , not worth for money , Average Service, Ambiance is good, our overall experience is bad.

Our first visit to Maveli this evening.We had a delicious meal, so authetic and tasty. The service was delightful too. Highly recommend this restaurant, will definitely be back.

Brilliant - so many vegan options, friendly and helpful staff, and the food was absolutely delicious. Will definitely return to try more of the menu!

Lovely food, friendly and helpful staff, prompt service. Have been there several times and had takeaway over the last few years. The curries could have been more spicy especially since we requested for.

Really nice Indian take out in Sheffield!! I was a visitor here but I had a good dining experience. Quick service and staff are lovely.

Small restaurant, busy, all tables were occupied when we were there. Friendly service and very attentive. Food was delivered quite quickly, about 20 minutes after ordering. Food was very good. We were very satisfied and will definitely go back to the restaurant when we are back in Sheffield.

Must recommend for south indian food. Friendly and welcoming staff. Taste is superb. Malabar Paratha recommend.

Possibly the best Indian meal I have tasted in sampling over 50 restaurants in the last 5 years across South Yorkshire. Brilliantly authentic southern Indian flavours. Nothing you'd normally recognise but exquisite, balanced and exciting cuisine from polite, professional and attentive staff. Will be returning very soon.

Excellent South Indian. Its hard to find such an authentic taste in Sheffield, but this is outstanding. The cauliflower starter was lovely and the vegetable nilgiri was so interesting and unusual, with flavours of coconut and mint.

A great Indian restaurant! The Nilgiri chicken is a favourite of mine. Kind and welcoming staff and quick food service, even at peak times. Have come many times and will go many more!

The food was okay and the waitress tried to be pleasant and helpful but I don't feel comfortable. Recent developments mean that I don't want to go to places where the culture seems hostile.

I went this evening with my daughter as recommended to her by a friend. Friendly efficient waiting staff and delicious food. I had two vegetarian dishes and my daughter had chicken madras and rice. Very comfortable enjoyable evening with beautiful food. Thoroughly recommended.

Excellent food, service and atmosphere. The only reason I am giving one star review is because of the poor attitude and behaviour of the one person who manages this place (with the other junior staff being so polite and attentive). We have been to this place four times in the past one year and every single time there has been some sarcastic comments placed or we received your rude and frustrated expressions as if you are providing us a free meal under obligation. We used to think it's a misunderstanding, but it can't happen all four times, isn't it. If your restaurant is busy or kitchen is under pressure or you don't have enough people, that's not our fault. It's your duty to manage and you can't show it on us. We never had this kind of treatment anywhere else and we are not trouble causing customers. You facial expressions remind us as if we are unwanted customers. Never in my life, will we go there again, though everything else being excellent there.

Good service but average food, masala idli with beef is a good option.

Good quantity of well cooked , tasty food at a reasonable price. Attentive, helpful staff and a pleasant, welcoming atmosphere.

A nice Indian restaurant where our group of five tasted a variety of things off the menu. I do not know southern Indian food but all of us were satisfied with our choices. So good food, nice light surroundings, and friendly service.

We went as a group of 12. Very friendly staff. They clearly knew how to introduce South Indian cuisine to those who aren’t familiar with it. I can confidently say that the food I had was some of the most authentic Kerala food I had tasted outside India. I personally tried the Malabar Porotta and Tranvancore Beef Fry and remembered my good old days back home. I also tasted the Idly, Dosa, Allepey Fish Curry and couple of other dishes too and have never been more satisfied. Regards from a malayali from Australia. Keep up the great taste.

Worst and pathetic service....just visited by myself and lots of empty tables , rude waiter asked me to wait to be seated and group of people after me got seated before me they did not have table reserved either.. such as worst experience .. eventualy left the place never visit again...

Went to get a takeaway. Was packed a beautiful dinner for family. Good portion and authentic ingredients cooked perfectly. Dietary restrictions taken into account

Great food. Great service. Family friendly. Thank you!

Very good dosas, impressive medu vada, lovely bhajis. Very pleased that they found us a table even though we hadn't booked. Good value, delicious South Indian food. Decent vegetarian selection.

Delicious food and excellent attentive service. Will be coming again

Super delicious Halal Indian food. Menu is not typical with the regular traditional Indian dishes. Staff are super friendly. If your child doesn’t easy spicy food, mention this and a mild dishes can be served. Enjoy your dinner.

Amazing food. Friendly service.

Unfortunately, the food quality has come down. Food served was not fresh

Dishes I ordered was delicious and customer service really impressed us . Must visit

By far….. I’ll say again. By far….. The best Indian I’ve ever had! Flavour. Taste. Heat. The lot was there. Please try this place. Look past the interior design as the food is out of this world!

I did not like the food very much.

One of the best south indian restaurants in Sheffield. Had a Mysore Masala dosa(with spicy masala fillings), chicken biryani and Tea. The Masala dosa was cold but the taste is good. Biryani is nice and had good quantity. The best thing is the Sambar that I liked the most and the coconut chutney. Would suggest for dine in.

This is no joke guys. I cant just say this is south Indian. Koth porutto was simply a joke and to speak about biriyani they serve is utter flop. The atmospere is so creepy. Not a space worth to spend your money..

Very delicious food and customer service! ❤️

Portion of Paneer curry was very small. We found only 4 paneer pieces and rest curry. small bottle of Cola £3.50 very expenses same whiskey small £ 6.50Staff were good Not happy with rotty

Excellent South Indian cuisine with extensive veg/vegan options as well. We were a large group of friends and we were welcomed by the friendly staff who did a fantastic job of keeping on top of all our orders. Everyone enjoyed their food, would highly recommend!

An amazing South Indian restaurant in Sheffield! Tried their Malabar parotta, beef roast, prawn mango curry and the masala tea. The parotta was fluffy and soft and both the curries were super flavourful and delicious. The masala tea was authentic as well. Inspite of being busy, the staff were super helpful and friendly. Would definitely recommend!!

Dosas are so cold and taste stale Chutneys have also gone stale and smelly Best is go to itr In Leeds crispy hot dosey

Whilst I enjoyed my dosa, my friends had mixed experiences with their dishes. Mostly from a dryness point of view of the biriyani and some thought the spicing of their dishes was a little higher than expected. I didn't try them so can't really give a subjective opinion. I can say that the bhaji , poppadoms and pickles were very good. Cannot fault the service though, our waiter was helpful and attentive.

Worst and low quality food.. you need to pay 2times. Once in this restaurant, and next payment to hospital. U know what I mean. Tooo Pricey

Worst customer service ever, being an Indian I know the exceptional experience we receive, I ordered a salt lassi and it wasn’t what I expected it to be, I asked for it to be sent back, some guy named abin and other waiters started arguing and saying things like if it was food they would have returned which doesn’t make any sense lol I wouldn’t wish for anyone else to get that experience

A perfect place to introduce the authentic south Indian dishes to anyone unfamiliar ✨🥰 must order Malai kulfi everytime I visit 😉😁

Good South Indian restaurant at Sheffield. Recently had beef varutharachath and Chilly chicken. Both were very tasty and recommended.

Great place, delicious dosas. Unpretentious, friendly, great quality and value. Really good range of vegan options.

Every thing about this restaurant is perfect. Thank you for the experience

Excellent food, excellent service, ate here as a group on Saturday night and was a pleasant surprise, has a quick chat with the staff after and they are from Kerela and that is the slant they put on their food. I lived in Asia for a year, and the breads are what I really love, have not had a Malabar Parotta for years and it was wonderful, many thanks

Superb fish curries! Fabulous malabar porata too. Love their food

Very good food. If you are missing Indian, Maveli is the place to go.

Go to place for authentic kerala cuisine.

Dosa is absolutely amazing . Close to the centre of town. Extremely good value for money.

A fantastic Indian restaurant that specialises in South Indian cuisine. It’s ‘different’ to other Indian restaurant, but not in the way some fad street food restaurants are - the food is incredible with very generous portions. The chicken Dosa was very tasty and something unique, and the onion bhajis were among the best I’ve ever eaten. Highly recommended!

The only place in sheffield that serves yummy Dosas

Good, friendly staff, good food, good atmosphere, we got road side parking towards left

Great authentic south Indian food with extensive vegan menu.

Great food & friendly staff,what a pleasure, fab.

Its an overpriced indian restaurent.

I recently dined at Maveli, a Kerala restaurant, and indulged in their "Onam Sadya" meal. The flavors were truly delightful and the variety of dishes made the experience memorable. The attentive staff added to the positive ambiance, providing a 5-star service. If you're seeking a delicious taste of Kerala cuisine, Maveli is a great choice!

Fabulous South Indian food, which I love. Friendly staff. Nice atmosphere when I've been. I hope to go again soon.

Friendly, attentive staff. Nice atmosphere. Great food and substantial portions. Fish curry a must!!

Best South Indian in Sheffield!

Great friendly staff and the most amazing food. Their Special Britain was incredible.

Wow. This place has really improved in the last 3 years since I was here. The decor

Expensive, Good variety food.. Avg taste..

Food was ok.. In my opinion the restaurant is overhyped.

Great restaurant. Gorgeous food...makes a nice change eating South Indian food...I live a good dosa. Staff friendly. Wouldn't hesitate to visit again or recommend to friends.

My favourite south Indian restaurant, friendly and efficient staff, clean restaurant

Great tastes, good variety in options, good service.

Great, authentic South Indian restaurant. Very unique and unlike anything in Sheffield. Flatbreads and Curries were phenomenal.

Great food, even better service from the staff. Polite, friendly, and attentive

It’s very authentic food, I like it so much. But, it’s quite spicy for me, it would be heavenly for those who like spicy food :))
