About Indian Chef
On Laughton Rd in Sheffield, Indian Chef serves as an Indian takeaway with Pakistani and South Asian dishes also on the menu. The kitchen prepares chicken tikka masala and lamb bhuna alongside saag paneer and onion bhaji, with chapati and Peshwari naan served on the side. Payment is cash only, so customers should come prepared without a card. The takeaway operates daily in the evenings, and both collection and delivery are offered for those eating off site. Reservations are recommended for those planning to collect at busier times.

Customer Review Summary
Diners most often return for the phal, sag paneer, and Peshwari naan, praised repeatedly as hot, tasty, and arriving quickly, with a lamb bhuna and chapati order also singled out as delicious. Vegetarian reviewers note the vegetable curries have real flavour rather than the blandness they've found elsewhere, and staff and delivery drivers are called professional and friendly. Against this, a recurring complaint surfaces around the chicken tikka masala, described by more than one reviewer as strangely pink or red with an overly sweet or yogurt-heavy taste, and one reviewer found the korma dry and the onion bhaji flavourless. Another reviewer found all the sauces watery and binned a thirty pound order entirely. Value is also raised: one reviewer felt prices had risen while portions shrank, citing an underfilled rice container and a half portion of chips for a thirty pound order that left them still hungry, and another suggested card payment should be added. Despite this, several reviewers call it their new go to for a curry.

“Absolutely delicious takeaway delivery this evening. Food was all excellent, especially the sag paneer and the Peshwari naan. Food arrived bang on time and was all hot and scrumptious. Really pleasant delivery driver too. Will definitely order again.”
- Ryan Vaughan
“Decent. If you like proper English curry then this is the right place for you. Chicken tikka masala was like red paint, with a strong taste of yogurt. Rice, naan, saag aloo & bahjis were decent. Needs dragging into 21st century and start accepting card payment and I tend to think people want more from a curry these days. Give us a proper Indian curry experience, that would make it better!”
