About South Street Kitchen

South Street Kitchen is a cafe on South St in Sheffield, set on the ground floor of the Park Hill estate with seating upstairs looking out over the city. By day the menu runs entirely vegetarian, with vegan options clearly labelled, covering small plates such as a hummus plate, falafel with flat bread and dips, and spiced crispy potatoes. Coffee is served alongside the food menu throughout the day. In the evenings the space turns into a themed bistro, with nights built around Lebanese, Italian, and dumpling menus. Staff bring food to the table rather than working from a counter, and the cafe operates on a walk-in basis. Dogs are welcome inside. The upstairs room has become a spot for marking occasions like birthdays and engagements, and evening sittings are often booked out well ahead of the themed nights.

Good to know

Customer Review Summary

Diners repeatedly return for the vegetarian and vegan small plates, with the hummus plate, falafel, and dishes like the spiced crispy potatoes and pea and mint smash on toast singled out as favorites, alongside themed evenings such as Dumpling night, an Italian evening, and a Lebanese menu where the baba ghanoush and a Lebanese baked cheesecake drew particular praise. The cabbage also gets called out as a standout. Several describe the setting under Park Hill with its views over Sheffield as a favorite spot for birthdays, dates, and catch-ups, most citing friendly, efficient staff and generous portions, though one notes portions could be bigger. One reviewer, however, reports that a server met their Civil Partnership celebration with sighs and turned away mid-order, and that a follow-up complaint email went unanswered, leaving them unwilling to return despite calling the food itself great.

    “Celebrated our engagement here last night over a bottle of wine and many small plates - it was perfect! Everything we tried was delicious, creative, moreish and generous. Lovely presentation, stylish setting and super efficient and friendly service from staff. Try the cabbage, it's incredible. Very cool to be in such an iconic building too. Would highly recommend.”

    “I'm really not the kind of person to post a negative public review for a business, particularly during difficult headwinds for the hospitality industry. Unfortunately, I don't see any other choice because South Street Kitchen has ignored the email my partner sent to them trying to resolve things privately. We got Civil Partnered on 29 May and treated our witnesses to lunch here. I added a note to the booking to explain that it was our special day. The service we received was absolutely awful. The woman dealing with our table greeted every single part of our interactions with audible sighs and made us feel like we were a difficult group (4 adults and our two young children who did lead to a small amount of dithering). At one point she turned her back on us whilst we were still ordering and walked off. The food was great, as per usual, but the whole experience was negative when it should have been a noteworthy part of our special day. We're not primadonnas and don't expect special treatment, just a basic level of politeness and respect. The bad experience has been exacerbated by the restaurants failure to respond to my partner's complaint. It's a real shame because I now can't ever see myself coming back here.”

    “Nestled under Sheffield’s iconic Park Hill flats, you might know @southstreetkitchen as a fantastic vegetarian cafe by day. But by night, they host incredible themed bistro evenings-and their current Lebanese menu is a must-try! 😍 🥂 The Vibe We love catching up with friends here, looking out the massive windows over the green park views with delicious cocktails and wine. The entire menu is vegetarian, but it’s so packed with flavor you won’t miss a thing. The quality truly shines- everything is top-notch and made from scratch! ✨ 🧆The Food Here’s what we tried in the video: 🥯🍆🫜Khobz, Baba Ghanoush & Beetroot Chutney: A total highlight, the baba ghanoush was so smoky and delicious! 🥬Arnabeet Mekli: Crispy fried cauliflower with lemon tahini dip. 🥒🌶️Harissa Roasted Courgettes: With a kick of vibrant zhoug. 🧀Halloumi Fries: With a killer za'atar and agave chilli dip. 🧆Falafel: Golden and fresh with shirazi salad. 🍰 Dessert We tried both desserts, but the Lebanese-inspired baked cheesecake with agave glazed apricots completely blew us away. Absolute perfection! 🏆 📍 South Street Kitchen, Park Hill, Sheffield”
