Popular Sheffield eatery voted England’s best Indian restaurant for the third time in five years
Prithiraj is renowned for attracting famous faces including footballers and Game of Thrones stars
It was a double celebration for Prithiraj resturant at this year’s English Curry Awards as the Sheffield restaurant continued to build on its excellent reputation by winning both the best restaurant award while also being recognised for outstanding customer service.
Nominations for the national curry award began in February - and were decided over the last month based on customers voting for their favourite resturant.
Restaurant owner Sobuj Miah, who attended last night’s awards ceremony in Wolverhampton, said: “This achievement belongs to our amazing team, our loyal customers, and everyone who has supported us throughout the years.Thank you for believing in us, dining with us, and being part of the Prithiraj family. Here’s to continuing to serve great food, warm hospitality and memorable experiences for years to come.”
Prithiraj which is based at student hotspot Ecclesall Road, also came out on top in the British Curry Awards in 2022 and 2025 - and is now celebrating its third prestigious title on the national stage.
The 100-seater restaurant, which has been serving authentic Indian food for more than 10 years, is renowned for pulling in big names, welcoming in the likes of Dan Walker, Jessica Ennis-Hill, Chris Wilder, Mark Labbett and Richard Hawley among others.
Last month, it also brought together famous names from both Sheffield United and Sheffield Wednesday, with former Blades manager Paul Heckingbottom accompanying both Mark Crossley and Dean Windass to a bite to eat in the popular eatery.
While earlier this year, a well-renowned actor in James Cosmo, who’s perhaps best known for Game of Thrones and Braveheart, also visited the restaurant to check out what all the hype was about.
Prithiraj has stellar 4.5 star reviews on Google and also 4.4 star reviews on Trip Advisor, making it one of the most highly-rated Indian restaurants in the Steel City based on customer feedback.
