Advantages: Good price, good quality Disadvantages: None
...The Balti International restaurant on Bristol Road has always a favourite haunt of many a Birmingham University, and recently they started a buffet menu at £6.95 My original thought was of horror as I had seen a number of buffet and "all you can eat" Balti houses already and had visions of a little chunk of meat floating around in a vast pot of sauce!

Some of you may have read my (rather shorter) op on this subject a while ago, but I thought it was about time I did Balti King justice! This is the first of my series of ops on great places in Sheffield, having just come back from visiting them all!

My husband and I stayed in the New Winter Palace from 30th August-13th September 2006. When we first arrived we were taken to a room on the 5th floor. It was nice and clean but basic. I was a little disappointed as we were expecting a double bed but got... more
