Shalimar Indian Takeaway in Portsmouth

Often now, over loud bands for a small venue. I wear ear plugs and it's still too loud. Even the jukebox when we arrived was overloud, to the point the barman got my order wrong because he couldn't hear me.. Generally a nice friendly crowd. They still don't do food, so not sure why it's on the list of questions for a review.

Dj plays the wrong style of music for the crowd 😫

A truly excellent venue without door and indoor seating. The indoor restaurant has a luxurious atmosphere with linen tablecloths, napkins and fresh flowers on the tables. It is however very reasonably priced. The food is excellent, with it seems, a Sicilian twist. The service at lunchtime was very prompt and the dessert menu was innovative as well as delicious.

Been here a few times & always have a nice time. Food & drinks are decent. Service is good. Atmosphere is chilled. Only criticism is I always feel the portion size isn’t enough but definitely a 8.5/10.

I am sorry I had to change my review, it looks like someone else is in charge of Simla now, The food had little flavour and the quality just was not there. I hope I am wrong, but I am not going to order again, I am sorry, and I will miss the Simla that I use to know.
