THE NAME MAY SOUND FAMILIAR BUT THAT'S THE ONLY SIMILARITY AT A RESTAURANT WHERE HENDERSON'S RELISH HAS BEEN REPLACED BY MANGO CHUTNEY

A familiar Sheffield landmark took on a brand new look. For decades, Butler's churned out enormous helpings of solid, stodgy food like meat and potato pie, full English breakfasts and spotted dick and custard... with bottles of Hendersons on every table.

Its position on Brookhill opposite Jessop's Hospital and a stone's throw from the University, ensured an eclectic clientele with students, medics and academics rubbing shoulders with the laborours and lorry drivers looking for a good, cheap fill-up.

Those hungry souls can still find outstanding value for money and generous portions, but everything else has changed.
For Butler's Caff read Butler's Balti House - a relatively new name that has quickly captured the hearts of Sheffield's curry connoirseurs.

It's not just the cuisine that has changed. That eye-catching neon sign on the outside heralds a complete makeover inside with warm, welcoming modern decor making it clear that Butlers has been gicen a thorough makeover for the 21st century.

The waiters are amongst the friendliest and most knowledgeable you'll find in any restaurant regardless of genre. On our most recent visit helpful staff took delight in talking us through some less familliar dishes on the menu and explaining how the kitchen staff had been experimenting to create a new sauce for the pickle tray.

After perfect crisp pappadums we shared a mixed starter of seekh kebab, onion bhaji, samosa and chicken tikka (Ł3.50) and a mixed vegetarian starter of onion bhaji, mushroom pakora and aloo pakora (Ł1.75).

Everything was delicious with liberal use of spices - we didn't leave a scrap.

The choice of main courses is vast and after much soul searching I plumped for one of the house tandoori specials, Chicken Shishleeke (Ł5.95). This consisted of the most perfectly cooked chunks of tandoori chicken with peppers, tomatoes and sizzling onions, served with rice.

My companion chose the Balti Lamb Korma (Ł4.60). Again the meat was melt-in-the-mouth tender and the sauce was rich and spicy.

The sundries were outstanding. We shared first-rate naan bread (Ł1.05) and a side order of balti dall (Ł2.75) and both agreed that the high quality was maintained from first to last.

Desserts including fresh fruits and ice-creams are on the menu too - if you can find the room. If you have a really sweet tooth my advice would be to go easy on the starters.

If you fancy adding some spice to your festive season, Butler's has launched a special Christmas and New Year's Eve menu for December.
