The Reddy family kitchen — now your local.
Abhiruchi means “good taste” in Telugu. For us it also means good company, good time, and a recipe book that's older than most of Ecclesall Road.
The way we cook.
Fresh masalas, every morning
Whole spices roasted at sunrise, ground to a fine powder in our stone wet-grinder. Not a single jarred curry paste enters this kitchen.
Charcoal tandoor, hand-fired
Our naans and tikkas come out of a 480°C clay oven kept lit from noon to midnight. You can taste the smoke.
Aged basmati, layered slow
Hyderabadi dum biryani means six hours of work for thirty minutes of magic. Sealed with dough, opened at the table.
Our story, in five acts.
Doors open on Ecclesall Road
Chef Ravi & Lakshmi Reddy arrive from Hyderabad with three suitcases of masalas and a dream.
Sheffield Star — 'Best Curry House'
First Sheffield Star award. We add the second dining room to fit the regulars.
Tandoor oven installed
A real charcoal tandoor — Sheffield's first South-Indian-style oven — fires up the menu.
Lockdown — and delivery is born
We learn to box biryani like a love letter. 20,000 deliveries later, here we are.
Voted Sheffield's No. 1 South Indian
Twenty-five years on, the same recipes, the same family. New menu launching this autumn.
Come hungry. Leave family.
That's how we do things on Ecclesall Road. Has been since 2000.
