Cafe Shimla in Luton

My favourite place to eat and takeaway

Is Café Shimla closed down or something, there's no answer and they appear closed?

The food was absolutely beautiful! Lamb tikka Jalfrezi was perfect and the chicken tikka masala was perfect. Not one single fault with this restaurant. Best Indian that I’ve had in a long while. This will be the place for an Indian always for me now. Thank you for the lovely food Cafe Shimla and amazing customer service!

Unfortunately the beef in both dishes must have been cooked and reheated as it was like rubber

I phoned up to ask where my food was and they told me to wait another 10 minutes. The food was delivered almost 2 hours after placing the order

Highly recommend these guys fresh hot food

Great food, fast and professional service

The chicken bhuna and mushroom rice was delicious. Definitely would purchase again. Great 5*

Another lovely takeaway meal from Shimla

food was very tasty was definitly worth the wait was proberbly the best indian takaway ive had in luton and will definitly order again <3

1st time using these and I got to say not bad at all and about £6 cheaper than my normal restaurant.

Ordered for the 1st time delicious food

Delicious food, good quality meat, complimentary poppadoms, fresh food, early delivery time :) thank you

Another lovely meal from Shimla. Absolutely delicious and superb poppadums. 😄

Nice Tandoori Chicken. Lamb Madras a bit chewy, nice tarka dall. On the whole a very tasty meal.

We did enjoy the food, however we had to heat it up in the microwave as it was not hot on arrival. Also there was so much oil that had spilt outside of the containers within the bag, that even just trying to serve the food was extremely messy!!

Chicken Tikka Bhunas spot on,very tasty.

Have been going to the shimla since i was a child, the food is always good ! Arrived early and always good deals on would recommend eating in if you are able to

Fast delivery, generous portions, and taste great.

Absolutely banging food as per usual, tasty hot and generous portions. Would highly recommend shimla 👌

Lovely meal tonight. Great cauliflower bhaji. Good curries and very flavoursome.

Great as always! Though the veg curry did leak in transit #abitmessy lol 🙈

Excellent food as always, highly recommend, you will not be disappointed 👌

Chicken tikka Byriani awesome 👌🏻

Said the chicken was fresh but it was so hard couldn’t eat it nan bread was like rubber, food is nothing like it used to be when the other people where there never again

regularly order from here. food was hot and delicious as always. would definitely recommend 👌

as always excellent food. I would just like them to give updates so I can avoid being in the bog or upstairs when they arrive

Delious. Will deffo order again, lovely food nice and hot.

Food wasn’t all that. Keema naan was a bit dry and the tarka dall was a bit off.

Best takeaway in Luton bar none. The Murghi Massala is amazing, and even choosing a dish at random I don’t think you’d be disappointed. Great staff, very friendly. Try them once, you’ll order again!

Once again excellent food and really enjoy the food thank you so much

Excellent food and service. Not many people in so the atmosphere wasn't particularly good but don't let that put you off .

Fantastic food. Not many people in the restaurant so not much of an atmosphere.

Everything was very tasty, especially the salmon tikka.

It was great that the food arrived early as I was feeling hungry. The food was delicious. I did ask for the Dansak to be Madras hot but it wasn't. Apart from that everything was 10/10. Thank you

Excellent food quality. Very happy with the food. Thank you

The rice and vegetables where fine but the meat was off. It was definitely not fresh so couldn’t eat it

Was given a delivery time then it changed as they needed more time .Then it was 10 mins later than the second time given . We have ordered from here plenty of times , altho it was very tasty it was very greasy. Disappointed

ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTING. DO NOT EAT FROM HERE IF YOU DON’T WANT FOOD POISONING. Me and my mum ordered butter chicken and as soon as we had the first bite of the chicken we knew it wasn’t right, it tasted like fish and was all watery like it had been frozen and defrosted. It was absolutely disgusting I couldn’t eat it. I have been extremely ill since eating from here as I’m pregnant I went to my doctors and they confirmed food poisoning and the specific bacteria is from raw poultry meat.

Very nice place & staff, food excellent. Only 2 stars for atmosphere as we were the only ones eating it was very early on in the evening. I'm sure with more people there the atmosphere would be great 👏👏

Excellent food and delivery. Would yse again and recommend

Excellent service and food. Highly recommended

Fantastic food and service as always thank you

Arrived early hot and tasty meal

Food arrived before expected time and piping hot. Excellent tasty and reasonably priced food, would highly recommend this restaurant. They catered and delivered a request for a mild curry, been a long time since this has happened. Will now be my go to indian take away restaurant.

Was all juice and no meat never again

Food wasn't great, got a bad belly. Food has gone downhill, this place was my favourite, not anymore.

The food is quite good as a quality, but in my vegetarian dish I had a big piece of bread, two portions of potatoes, a portion of cheekpeas, and a portion of rice. Plus three portions of actual veggies. Now, there are 4 types of carbs in big quantities in the same dish... I couldn't finish everything, even because I don't enjoy potatoes + bread + rice. Of course I paid for the entire dish - too much considering the content - , but consumed less than a half. I strongly suggest to better study the nutritional value of that dish. Perhaps with meat you are more lucky, and mine was an exception on the menu. I'm afraid I can judge only what I eat. Also, they forgot the fork and knife first, and then the spoon.

Bhuna great but bombay potatoes were a sludgy mess.you used to do them so good,whats happened?

This food was so delicious. The portions were great. I wish I lived closer to Luton so I could order all the time. I can't say anything negative about this food! Thank you for such a lovely experience!

Great tasting food and arrived hot. 😊

The salad was old and two prawns for the price they charge wasn’t good value for money. Chicken tikka also tasted a bit old. A shame as they’ve always been my favourite in Luton for more than 20 years.

I have a brilliant time every time.. I have been going here since it opened. The only thing is sometimes we get the chef that makes the food more tomatoes rather than a hot one. Love the place

From the excellent pickle tray to the well cooked traditional British Indian restaurant fare, Shimla meets expectations.

Perfection, excellent food really enjoyed it all.

Thank you great food as always, keep on coming

This place has gone downhill food was sour it like it had gone off....biriani had no chicken in it...poor

This place has gone downhill...I ordered a lamb tikka madras and it tasted like it had gone off...The chicken biriani had no chicken in it...The only thing good was the naan bread...Will not be returnng

Good meal in spite of the problem with inflation at the moment

Great food,delivered hot,and good price

Food tasty as always,but quantity was much less than last order!!

I ordered the tandoori mixed grill and butter chicken nan and mushroom rice. The butter chicken was inedible my daughter picked out the chicken but didn’t enjoy the sauce it was far too sweet and too buttery. Not how butter chicken is supposed to be made. The rice didn’t have much flavour and again just tasted of a lot of butter. The meat was dry on the mixed grill too. Not sure that we will be ordering again. Thank you

Never fails to disappoint as always

The Egg fried Rice was burnt and smelled awful and tasted worse and was basically inedable and the Chicken Tikka Masala chicken chunks were hard

Food utterly disgusting, bland as water. Nan bread the side of the palm of my hand with solid stones inside. No spice or flavour only in the masala which with overpowered by cinnamon. Awful food shouldn’t be served to the public. Worse Indian I’ve ever had. Needs massive improvement.

Normally I order a chicken dish and the sauce almost fills the tub. This time 4 small pieces of chicken and only half the sauce . Bit disappointed.

First time ordering from this restaurant amazing food hot and very tasty thank you

Bhuna very tasty ... bombay potatoes not as good as usual but still ok

Ther food was hoot and the delivery services was great. the food is beautiful, id only order from those where ive eaten before. and totally recommend Cafe Shimla.

Amazing food, everything freshly made. one of the best restaurants in the area. Second visit well worth it.

Absolutely fantastic food, great portions and so much flavour. Each dish is unique, and we always find it hard to choose as there is so much to try! Thank you.

Best curries in Luton. Thank you!

Lovely food ... bombay pototaoes perfect!!

Food hot n tasty,bit disappointed with size of samosas tho.

This place has great Indian food with high value for money, what with current inflation, keep things as they are, including prices/discount.

Good value (with discount) & excellent quality food

One of the curries spilled out all over the bottom of the bag and transferred to other food...making a right mess. Not good trying to scrape some curry from the bottom of the bag to make a meal. It arrived over 1.5hrs after ordering...poor service today.

As ever, fantastic food from Cafe Shimla. It was the first time for my Mum having a curry, and she loved their Kurma.

Food was delicious will deffos order from here again

Good old fashion curry house. Lovely food good portions and good selection. Service was attentive , this might be due to the lack of occupied tables. Fish Bhajee was delightful

Superb food and service as always..never let you down..

Thank you again very good food

Never fails, always excellent food and service..

Brilliant! Hot, fresh and delicious!

Always an excellent service from this restaurant! The food is very tasty, hot and fresh! The delivery guys are friendly and pleasant. And all round great place to order a wonderful curry!!

Thank you so much for the lovely food

Been using Shimla for years and years, still great food and awesome service many thanks 👍

Ive had food at the resturant so very happy that the food and service is good for the home delivery too, great food and great staff

Tasty food, hot and right on time!

Disappointing delivery time and food temperature tonight. Took 50 minutes from message to say food was on its way despite being only a 5 minute drive! Tried to call restaurant several times for an update but no answer and no response to request an update via app either! Some of the food unsurprisingly was cold when we got it!

Very tasty curries especially the Morisa Daal.

As always quality food and service Never fails Cafe Shimla best and now the only Indian cuisine we use

Always quality, hot, fresh and tasty food!

Excellent food and service as always!

First time trying this place out and was not disappointed. Great flavours, good sized portions and decent delivery time.

Always a great restaurant to use. Lovely food. Lovely staff and friendly service! Always prompt or early with deliveries.

Ordered from here for years but not for a long time. The meat was very chewy not soft and didn't enjoy it, gristly and undercooked meat

I’m not from Luton but when in town like coming here. My third visit and always attentive team, really tasty food & super friendly. Thanks Shimla
