About QashQai Kitchen
Persian cooking anchors the menu at QashQai Kitchen, a restaurant on Abbeydale Road in Sheffield that also works as a bar and grill and kebab shop. The Makhsoos mixed kebab arrives on silver trays and in a silver deg pot, bringing a spread of grilled meats to the table in one order, with lamb and chicken kebabs listed separately. Saffron rice accompanies the kebabs, and zereshk polo comes topped with barberries, with nan served alongside. Vegetarian plates sit on the menu too. The kitchen cooks halal, which matters for diners who need it. Reservations are recommended, and the doors open through the week apart from Tuesdays. A step-free, wheelchair-accessible entrance serves visitors with mobility needs, and high chairs make room for families with young children. Orders can also be taken away for eating off site.

Customer Review Summary
The kebabs draw the most attention, with the house Mix Kebab ordered around a full table without a single complaint, and one diner calling the lamb succulent and juicy while rating the chicken tender and well seasoned alongside it. Close behind is the rice, praised as golden and saffron scented, whether in the zereshk polo piled with barberries or the mixed kebabs served in the Makhsoos, which one reviewer describes as among the best plates of food they have had in the city. Presentation comes up repeatedly, with the silver deg pot arriving at the table drawing looks from across the room and silver trays of steaming grilled meat noted as looking as good as they tasted. Several also single out generous portions, freshness, and balanced spicing, with one first time visitor to Persian food saying it did not disappoint. The welcome and hospitality earn steady mention, including diners who asked staff for suggestions when everything on the menu appealed.

“The food quality at QashQai Kitchen is exceptional. The grill platter looked amazing when it arrived and tasted even better. The meat was tender, the spices were balanced, and the whole dish was full of authentic flavours. Great atmosphere and great service too.”
- Stephanie Evans
“Three of us came in, all ordered the house Mix Kebab. Not one complaint at the table. QashQai Kitchen is quietly one of the best spots in Sheffield.”
- Frank Ward
“The spread we got looked incredible before we even touched it, silver trays, golden rice, steaming hot grilled meat. Tasted even better than i looked. QashQai Kitchen does persian food the way it should be done.”
- Jack Davies
“That golden saffron rice alongside the mixed kebabs in the Makhsoos, honestly one of the best plates of food i've had in sheffield.”
- Alicia Whiteside
“That silver deg pot arriving at the table made everyone at ours look over, Qashqai Kitchen doesn't hold back on the presentation. The zereshk polo was piled high with barberries and you could smell the saffron before it even landed.”
