418 Eats: Plans revealed for late-night sandwich shop on Sheffield’s popular Ecclesall Road 

A shop unit is undergoing renovation works on a popular road in Sheffield - and now the team behind Lounge 418 have confirmed that it is the latest addition to the ‘418 group’. 

Managing director Saeed Ibrahimi and his brother Masoud Ibrahimi opened Lounge 418 in the former Yankees restaurant in December 2021. Earlier this year, Masoud Ibrahimi and his new business partner Amanuel Gebru opened an off-license, 418 Store, on Ecclesall Road. It has now been followed by the "perfect opportunity" for Saeed Ibrahimi and Lounge 418 head chef Alireza Parhizi to open 418 Eats.

The premises on 287 Ecclesall Road, formerly Black Burger which shut down just months after opening, will soon be home to a sandwich shop. It will be open late into the night, seven days a week, to offer 'Persian-inspired creations' for those seeking a satisfying lunch or a late-night snack.

Mr Ibrahimi said: "Since opening Lounge418 almost two years ago, we have always been looking to expand and bring Persian cuisines to Sheffield, and Ecclesall Road in particular.

"418 Eats will be where culinary ingenuity meets the welcoming atmosphere of a local sandwich bar. 418 Eats offers an array of sandwiches, including the new 418's signature chicken and lamb shawarma made from scratch.

"Our menu features both cold and hot sandwiches, delectable smash burgers, Persian hotdogs, and including vegetarian and vegan options, made with all the finest ingredients, all expertly handcrafted by our 418 head chef to delight your palate.

"With our friendly staff and inviting ambiance, 418 Eats is the perfect take-out destination, just like our sister companies."

The venue is expected to open towards the end of November, or the beginning of December. Its opening hours will be 12pm to 1am on Sunday through to Thursday, and 12pm to 3am on Friday and Saturday.
