Urban Choola — Restaurant in Sheffield

If you are craving some finger licking good Indian food, look no further! Urban Choola is the right stop!

Chef Nitin and Chef Amit are honestly culinary magicians who know exactly what Indians crave in authentic desi food, and deliver to perfection.

The waitstaff is truly top-notch! Our attendant Vanchita took the time to ask about allergies and dietary restrictions, she asked if we wanted our dishes prepared in authentic desi style and inquired about our preferred spice level. We requested extra Cheese in our Cheese Naans and guess what? It was super duper trooper cheesy!

Two other superb attendants Vivek and Harish, checked in on us multiple times to ensure everything was perfect and if we needed anything before the kitchen closed. When we mentioned to Vivek that our second round of Cheese Naan lacked the Cheese we were expecting, he immediately resolved it by bringing us an extra serving that was packed with Cheese and lots of Cheese (made my heart go lalalaaaa)

We ordered the below and each dish is a must-must-must try-

Jackfruit Pepper Fry (my go to dish from this place) is to die for and reminds me sooo much of home. Palak Paneer super duper creamy, yet packed with flavours, quite homely! Lamb Rogan Josh, the meat was juicy and succulent, cooked to perfection Chicken Chetinad, again, the chicken was so soft that it practically melts in your mouth Cheese Naan, It is btw a task to find the right cheesy super cheesy cheese naan and they did a FAB job

This place is ‘No one can visit just once’! Can never fail you I promise..

P.S- I have previously ordered their Bhalla Papdi Chaat and Aloo Tikki Chaat and when I say it is hands down the absolute best I’ve had in the UK, I actually mean it is the best- no exaggerations here! Try it and you...

Beautiful food, really enjoyed it. It made me happy to think that we had found an Indian restaurant in Sheffield that felt like a treat to come to, good atmosphere, comfortable, clean, and nicely lit. More importantly, no ridiculously over coloured food, nothing swimming in slicks of grease, just really tasty, well cooked food. We booked for 18:45 and arrived a few mins early, but the table was ready luckily. It was right in the window, which was nice without feeling overlooked. We had poppadoms and pickles, shared 3 starters between 4 of us, 4 mains, 2 rice, 2 breads, and 2 desserts plus drinks, of course. I think they were hoping we wouldn't order dessert, and not long after 8pm, they started to bring after dinner sweets and the bill (along with a table stand with a QR code to scan to make a review of the restaurant, delivered in front of my friend who still had most of her glass of wine and with a heavy name drop from the least tactful waitress. They generally seemed to be rushing us out, and started pointing out the people who were seated in the bar area waiting for the table and saying how busy they were. When I booked online, the arrival time slots were split into an early sitting and a late sitting, but there was no indication that the booking was time limited. I would have quite liked a coffee and for my friends to finish their wine in their own time. Being rushed out marred the whole experience, which was such a shame. I do think the waitress Kiran had much nicer service skills than the other young lady, but perhaps the booking system needs to let you know how long the booking slot is for so that you are forewarned, and the other waitress needs a bit more...

Very quick and friendly welcome, they offered a nice little table by the window, for starters we had amristart (I think that is its name) fish, which was crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside not a drop of oil, and duck & chicken sheep kebab which was also amazing. For mains for had nalih ghost is a lamb shank (but chopped into 4/5 slices making it easy to manage) which was beautifully soft and the sauce was very brown thick sauce which my wife couldn't get enough of (but lamd shank dish we had ever) we also had chicken kharrai which was bit of a let down, don't get me wrong it wasn't bad but it wasn't a kharrai more like a balti or a runny jalfrezi, kharrai needed to be a lot more thicker and darker in colour and of possible served in the black sizzling kharria dishes but in balti dish. They only offer 2 kinds of rice: plain boiled rice or saffron pilua rice so we both went for the saffron rice which was very nice. We finished of the meal with masala chai for the wife and mango sorbet (they gave twice the amount you would get anywhere else) it was so nice I had to finish it off. Drinks we had 1 Fanta, 1 coke & 1 soda & lime. Wish they would have more option for those boycotting Coca-Cola. We walked in the rain to get there hence why stayed but next time if they only sell Coca-Cola we would just walk out hence the 4 start otherwise it would have been 5 star any day. Total...
