The closest good one to there is 'Seven Spices'. This is the closest to the cluster of hotels near the UKNOF meeting hotel too. They can cope with larger groups and normally are quiet. A smaller Deli style place which serve Indian food in Thalis is at Kelham Island close to the Fat Cat - 'The Bjaji Shop' - ideal for small groups, booking recommended, pricier end. Hopefully if you are staying a little longer in Sheffield you have a hotel in the city centre, a mile or so South of the meeting hotel. You can get excellent Indian food in Sheffield, some of my favourites: Ashoka (typical decent British Curry house, nice cocktails from memory) Akbars (a total factory, can cope with large groups) Meveli (has some South Indian dishes). Arusuvai is better at South Indian dishes but further out of town. Worth the trek if you love a Dosa IMO. One of Sheffield's many fine breweries makes a beer that's ideal for pairing with spicy food (Gan Bei by North Union). If you see it at an Indian or Oriental food outlet, do try it. I hope everyone enjoys their visit to the Jewel of the North of England, we are all excited to have UKNOF back in town. Do drop me a line if you would like any other culinary advice. Andy D
