London Road is home to probably the most diverse range of eateries in the city. Along it you will find pretty much everything from Chinese to Indian to Thai to Italian to Vietnamese to Japanese and to Turkish and a few more I'm sure. Take a wander up and choose one that takes your fancy. Zeugma (Turkish) and Royal Orchid (Thai) are my two favourites at present. Prices are generally budget friendly. Afterward, drop in to The Cremorne pub for a nightcap.
London Road, from the city centre to Woodhead Road. Bookended by Baan Thai at the bottom and Wasabisabi at the top.

A wonderful restaurant owned and operated by the formidable Nirmal Gupta. She'll sit with you as you order, and won't let you order simply what you want, you'll end up with vast numbers of side dishes and extras as well, but it's all fabulous.
The lamb massallam in particular is phenomenal, and if you have a large party you can order an entire leg of lamb if you give the restaurant 48 hours notice. The lamb will spend that 48 hours marinading to perfection. She also always seems to have the most delicious fresh mangoes for dessert as well.
West Street, Sheffield
Excellent traditional fish and chipshop feeding the thousands of home counties students who choose to live in Sheffield for three years.
Open really late, always cooking and always busy; fantastic service.
Witham Road / Fulwood Road - the main drag up through Broomhill on the way out to the Peak District (above the hospitals and the university - just beyond Threshers).
The best chippy in Sheffield, if not the north. The portions are of artery-clogging immense-ness, and the chips are always fried to perfection and never, ever too greasy. Being in Sheffield, you also have the added bonus of Henderson's Relish as one of your condiment choices, which is worth going for in itself. It's also been there for donkeys years, with a little potted history of the place on the walls for one to peruse whilst queueing for a fish supper. In a word, chiptastic!
Sharrow Vale Road, Hunter's Bar, Sheffield. Just off Eccelesall Road.
