Reviews - Indus
Reviews summary
Indus is a long-established Sheffield institution with a loyal following and a warm, familiar front-of-house presence. Many diners praise the restaurant for great value, a lively buffet, standout items like fish fry and fries, and staff who go the extra mile for guests. However, experiences can be mixed: busy service periods sometimes lead to slow or understaffed shifts, uneven cooking on some dishes, and occasional menu items running out. Overall, Indus remains beloved for its friendly atmosphere and hearty plates, but expect variability during peak buffet times.

What a delightful experience! Taz was welcoming and helpful right from walking in the door. The food was flavourful and lots of it. I really can't recommend this place more. 10/10

Not been for about a year, but went tonight off the cuff with a mate after being down town, my God, still amazing! The food is top class, a proper sheffield institution, and top it off Taz is still there which rounded off our night with some good banter which made me think why have I left it year! Best restaurant in sheffield
This restaurant has been my favorite spot for a mixed balti and kingfisher for the past 40 years! They no longer have a drinks license, so you'll need to bring your own cobra or kingfisher. This actually helps keep the bill down, but the food has always been exceptional value for money. In my opinion, it's the best Indian food you can find in Sheffield, and at much more affordable prices.
George Michael (also known as Taz) Ibrahim and his team, including Naz from the Conisborough branch, saved the day when my daughter accidentally placed an order at the wrong location. They graciously fulfilled our order at the Sheffield branch instead. Thank you so much for the delicious food, as always. Highly recommend this restaurant, the staff is amazing. Thank you!
My family and I celebrated a birthday meal at this restaurant on Saturday, April 8th. I must say that every dish was delicious. The service provided by George Michael and the team was exceptional. This was definitely the best meal I have had in a long time. Make sure to book a table, you won't be disappointed!
Been going for over 33yrs on and off. Booked for the Tuesday buffet. Arrived to a nearly full house, no onion salad brought but noticed others were getting it. Only just remembered to bring a measly pickle tray. No lamb curry said 3 times it was coming took 45 minutes to arrive and half a container. Nan bread was cutting into quarters and put in a warmer, they were rubbery. Not all the fish starters were fully cooked. All you could hear was screaming kids. For the first time in all these years to have gone down hill to that degree. Only 2 staff serving and food really not up to standard, i will not be wasting my money and going back. Requested the bill again 3 times over a 30 minute period. Ended up getting up going to the till for it. Very sad about my decision but not worth it.

It’s always great when you eat at a restaurant by chance and it turns out to be a really good place. My work takes me all over the country, and I generally have a curry if I’m staying somewhere overnight. Indus was just along the road from my hotel, and I’m so glad I chanced upon it. Modern, welcoming and well laid out, Indus also had some of the friendliest staff I’ve encountered. I really enjoy chatting to Taz, my waiter, who clearly wanted to make sure I had a good experience. The food was just as good. Extensive menu, dishes I’d not seen before, very reasonably priced and generous portions. Next time I’m in Sheffield, I’ll be heading back.
Taz and his team could not have been more welcoming. Tasty curries especially the Lamb Rogan Josh and chicken Tikka Karahi. Fish masala and sizzling mix platters are a must. Above all the atmosphere was warm. Everyone having fun. If you are near EIS then just pop down the road for an Indus Curry. Not the chains on the estates. We will definitely be back.
We've been here a few times and we absolutely love it. Great service by all the team but especially Mr George Michael . He gave myself and mum in law a big hug and it's made her Christmas! 3 different dishes ordered and all beautiful. We went Saturday 23rd and it was packed but everything was cooked fresh and piping hot. This is a traditional restaurant that doesn't disappoint.
Been going here since it opened in 1984,great service and food and will be there again this Saturday.If you like Indian food then this place is for you.

We wanted to be a popular Indian, but we couldn't get in. One of our groups suggested the Indus in Attercliffe. I am so glad that we did it, the food was amazing, really delicious and fresh, we all ordered different and there was none of this generic curry going here. Every dish was so different, I was delicious and we all said the same thing about our food. The staff was friendly and quite funny, we had a great time. It started to do when we left, no wonder, this little jewel is definitely a place we go back and recommend.
First customer and I had a great experience. Customer service was excellent and the food was also delicious. I was served by George Michael and he was very polite and always asked if we needed something. I will certainly return with more family members. Very recommended
Absolutely nice fresh and hot food, delivered with a smile, My first order of Indus and certainly will not be the last, a very pleasant delivery driver and delicious food... what more could a girl ask!
All about Indus is fantastic! From the warm welcome of Taz and the team to the wonderful authentic food. All we had was excellent and the quality of the meat is also fantastic. The prices are reasonable and they welcome you generously to take your own wine without a cork fee. Can not recommend very enough!
Buffet night on a Tuesday , was very popular and most seats booked already. A good quantity and variety of starters with plenty of fish and chicken and vegetarian options. A simple main menu , the meat curry was fabulous and I am generally not much of a red meat eater. On the whole the experience including the service was 5/5

We set out to go to a favourite Indian, but we couldn't get in. One of our group suggested the Indus in Attercliffe.

Each dish was so different, mine was delicious and we all said the same about our food. The staff were friendly and quite funny, we had a great time. It was starting to get busy when we left, no wonder, this little gem is definitely a place we'll be going back to and recommending.
