The Antler promises to provide diners with a culinary journey traversing the breadth of Iran’s rich and diverse cuisine. Our favourite things here are the mezze-style small plates, with familiar options like hummus (their version also incorporates walnuts, sumac, green sultanas and lemon zest) and stuffed vine leaves sitting alongside kashk o bademjan: pan-fried aubergine mashed with dried mint and whey yoghurt, topped with walnuts.

Foodies of Sheffield have been spoiled with authentic Indian dishes at this beautiful restaurant since 1967, but there’s nothing old-fashioned about the food here. Expect great takes on your favourites, like their 48-hour marinated chicken tikka, and delights like their legendary 1960s pickle tray, all served up in interiors inspired by Irani cafés of Mumbai.
Mowgli

You might have heard of Mowgli for their unusual swing seats, but rest assured they have the flavours to back up the appeal of their interiors. Mowgli’s Indian street food dishes are packed with flavour, and their Sheffield outpost is no exception. Start with their yoghurt chat bombs: crisp bread puffs filled with chickpeas, spiced yoghurt, tamarind and coriander, and then move on to their house lamb, which is simmered with anise, plums and chickpeas. If you like to be surprised, their tiffin boxes form a sort of food roulette – four tiers of meat, veg and carb chosen by the chef for you to sample.
Piña
