Crystal Peaks
Sheffield, S20 8LY
In addition to award-winning authentic Aagrah
cuisine, Crystal Peaks serves up 60 dishes
showcasing cuisine from around the world. The
respected restaurant chain’s buffet-only dining
concept has proven to be a runaway success, but
diners wanted more, demanding the Kashmiri dishes
they knew and loved from eating at sister restaurants
in West Yorkshire and Sheffield’s Leopold Square.
As a consequence, a compact a la carte menu
featuring their best-known speciality dishes was
created especially for Crystal Peaks diners. Set in
its own grounds with a large car park, this is a vast
restaurant that cost a six-figure sum to assemble.
The investment has paid off however. The decor
is modern contemporary, there’s a chic bar by the
entrance and to the right a large, glass-walled
seating area. On the opposite side of the capacious
restaurant is the purpose-built world buffet section
with an open-plan theatre kitchen where white-coated
chefs calmly cook. After gazing in awe at row upon
row of gleaming silver serving tureens and lifting
lids to survey the appetising contents, your stomach
should be rumbling and you’ll be ready to pile your
first plate high. The buffet is great value, delivering
three courses and all you can eat for a fixed price
Sundays to Thursdays and just £1 more on Fridays
and Saturdays. There’s also an a la carte menu
available, though the drinks menu is actually larger
than the food menu. There are some magnificent
sounding cocktails: try the Raspberry Collins, made
with Bombay Sapphire gin and raspberry juice, or
keep things traditional with an Indian beer. There are
12 starters to choose from including shami kebabs
which are beautifully scented with cinnamon and
nutmeg followed by gosht achar, meltingly-soft lamb
in a hot sauce bursting with ginger, methi, mustard
and coriander seeds. A family owned business set
up 36 years ago, Aagrah is a Sheffield success story.
