Shimla Cottage in North Lanarkshire

Always delivers good food and excellent service

Food was amazing! Would highly recommend to try the food!

Really good restaurant and takeaway, the food is excellent quality and at a reasonable cost.

Very bland - chapati was like cardboard and inedible - not up to usual standards - disappointed!

Staff were lovely and welcoming 3 course lunch was lovely n staff cldnt do enough for you will definitely be back

From time from order to deliver it was about 1 and half hours the rice was in a bag and tie tight so when try to open the bag to get the rice out half of it goes everywhere i ordered the south indian garlic chil chicken but it was not never taste the garlic or the chil also everything was freezeing will be my 1st and last time order from hear

food excellent just 1 complaint naan bread too thin more like a poppadom in places.

Best Indian in Coatbridge. Great food and great service. I go to this restaurant quite regularly with the Mrs for both the lunch and dinner menu. The lunch menu is very good value for money and quickly served up by the incredible serving staff. We have always been very happy with the food served and the staff are always amazing. Highly recommended.

Food was great,staff are helpful, friendly

Fantastic food and fantastic delivery

Takeaway: This was supposed to be butter chicken. Tasteless and full of red dye which I’m never seen. Spent £32 mains and a kids nuggets. The 2 mains have been left.

Worst curry I’ve ever tasted chicken was disgusting binned the lot!

the veg pakora was lovely freshly cooked

Another pair of extremely runny curries, and again two different meals. Taste wise it's nice but I don't expect my curries to resemble pools of water. Have had no issues with Shimla in the past but whatever they're doing in recent week with these particular dishes isn't great. Please improve them.

Genuinely haven't had any issues with Shimla before but for this order we had 2 different meals and both were extremely runny curries, where there's ~3mm of fluid sloshing about the plate. We thought it was potentially a one-off (these things sometimes happen) until we ordered 2 weeks later.

Nothing specifically bad to say at all my experience was amazing the staff were nice and had a bit of personality and very cheerful food took about 30mins to come although it was quite busy the day I went so I'd say amazing job and yummy food

Always very impressed with the food here. Nice looking restaurant, good service too.

Great authentic tasting food good portions good atmosphere and lots of parking.

All the sauce had spilt over the food and was all wet.. half the order was wrong too! Wouldn’t recommend at all!!

Terrible food had no taste and was cold will not be ordering from here ever again

Best Indian restaurant in Coatbridge😍 🥰We were here for the first time, but we really liked everything! We will definitely try other dishes. 🍲Ordered Fish & Veg Pakora, Chicken Tikka & Prawn Karahi, Chicken Tikka Shashlik. 🌶️All dishes are pleasantly spicy, warming and with spices. Lots of vegetables and amazingly delicious sauces. 🔥You can always ask for the dish to be made even spicier) 🛍️You can also ask to pack your food with you. The portions were large and we could only eat half. They kindly wrapped the rest for us) 🕌The atmosphere of the restaurant is a special highlight. Warm interior and Indian music. Smells nice of spices✨ 😌The menu is very large and we will definitely return to try other dishes I recommend💖

ordered hours in advance. No contact from restaurant to advise deliveries were running late. Had to contact twice . Definitely wont recommend

food quality terrible and missing part of the order and delivered 20 mins late. Never again

The staff and service was excellent, fast, friendly and efficient. The food was ok. Chicken poori was disappointing. The Chicken was rubbery in a radioactive red sauce and the salad was not the freshest. The Chicken Tikka Chasni tasted nice but the sauce was way too thin and not a lot of chicken tikka. The peshwari nan was a disaster. It was soggy and had fallen apart. I know takeaway is never as good as sit in but I live close and got it straight out of the kitchen. I even took it out of the carrier bag in the car to try to keep it crispy but failed.

The food was amazing, very reasonable prices, staff lovely, would definitely go back 👍.

2nd time of going for a meal will be back for many more. Staff lovely food is amazing throughly wonderful experience.

Great quality food, portion sizes were great!

First time here great food and service and very reasonable

Every time we visit friends in Coatbridge this restaurant is a must. The food is absolutely amazing and the staff are very attentive and friendly. Ate here Friday night and tried a mixed tandoori which was delicious and the lamb chops are amazing. I would highly recommend and we will be back very soon.

food was hot and tasty veg pakora and chicken karahi freshly made with quick delivery

Been getting a chicken bhuna from Alis shettleston few times been tasteless, thought i would try here, 100% better Great Taste.. will be getting my food from, here on..

Great first time in Shimla Cottage had chicken ginger bhoona and veg biryani as mains quality food great taste no pics sorry

Lamb was tough and had fat through it

was realy good.was there on Thursday night for my granddaughters birthday.food was excellent and so was the service

Very poor experience. Delivery not received 40 mins after should have arrived, contacted restaurant twice and given same reply, driver out with order. When order did arrive, very little chicken in portion, sauce tasted good but to much of it. Poor customer service

Best home delivery curry we have had in a long time.Hot food and so yummy..

If you're from around the coatbridge area, you know the shimla, great food, great prices, a nice, well run place, friendly feel

very good meal and cooked from fresh chicken top notch

Ordered at 7 now it’s 9.40 still not arrived 😡😡

The food is good but not worth waiting 3 hours for and being repeatedly lied to about it being en route. This restaurant takes your money under the pretence that they can deliver at a reasonable time then lies and says they can do nothing about it as they’re so busy. Well, you can, you can set realistic delivery times, hire more drivers or reject orders you can’t fulfil in a timely manner. Instead, Shimla take your money, lie and you can like it or lump it…

Best curry in North Lanarkshire if not Scotland, always the best service, will return multiple times!

Went in for a wee change tonight so happy i did. The starters where lovely pakora fried to perfection the mains BEST LAMB BHUNA I HAVE EVER TASTED My wife for the chicken Tika masala which she loved. staff where amazing too very helpful and friendly. I WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND

First time trying, arrived really quickly, food was piping hot and tasted delicious. Not one complaint about any of it. Would definitely recommend and we can’t wait to order again!

The food here was really good and I will be returning

Lot more expensive since last time I was there last year

Food was delivered hot and fresh however was over 2 hours between order being placed and delivery. Will order again in future as food was lovely and good value (meal for 4) but will collect next time. Just eat app said that the food has been delivered but had not and was a further 60 mins

Nearly a 2 hour wait for a delivery is unacceptable.

Great Christmas family meal. Friendly staff. Good service.

Very nice food and service. Clean too. Great price

Fabulous food as usual. Never disappoints

brilliant hot tasty food and good service

No sauce with veg pakora and bhuna is a mild dish.... but it was spicy

Was here for Christmas Dinner 25/12/23. Well where do I start on arrival it was very busy and unable to get seated as the staff were still setting tables it was extremely cold and the door was constantly being left open and a vast number of patrons outside in the rain! We were booked for 6pm and not seated until 6.20pm. Then our order was not taken until 6.35 and our starter not served until 7pm. Bearing in mind we were meant to be out for 8pm. Drinks were extortionate too. Main course not served till 7.45 and at this point patrons at the bottom of the restaurant were already finished and leaving!!! A distinct difference in service from the bottom to the top. Dessert was supposed to be hot fudge cake and was in fact chocolate cake with cheap ice cream. The main was meant to be lamb with port and was no trace of port at all!! The food was Meticore and the service chaotic. Won't be back ever it cost £120 wasn't worth anything near that 😡

not had food from here in a long time and it didn't disappoint

Here for Christmas day lunch and it was absolutely amazing, the food and service is second to none and they always go above and beyond to serve every single customer and work so hard to achieve this. I will continue to eat here every time we are in coatbridge,there is no other restaurant comes close to food and service. Thank you to all the staff x

Order took 3 hours to arrived. Phoned 4 times within this period. Was lied to that the order was on its way and still took another hour when I live 10 minutes away. Shocking service.

Had a lovely meal. South Indian garlic masala (lamb). Very tasty. I would recommend.

This order was placed at 521. As of 723 it has not been delivered even though the restaurant said at 650 it would be with me within minutes. I have complained to Just Eat for a full refund.

I had a delicious meal South Indian Garlic chilli chicken Lovely surroundings Value for money Defos recommend

Delivery was early but the food wasnt that great the sauce was watery and funny taste off the rice,not alot oc chicken either ,was my first time ordering from here and will be the last very disappointed

I order from here regularly we always enjoy it

Got the wrong type of pakora delivered BUT the chicken tikka meal was lovely

Ordered a chicken korma and chicken tikka chasni, both seemed like they had been watered down with very little flavour. The bag of chips had barely enough for 2 people to split in it. Definitely not the quality id expect from shimla

Cold, tasteless won’t be ordering from here again

The food was cold all went the bin due the deliver taking so long a want a full refund really disgusting by the Oder

Ordered Chicken Reza'la and the meal was amazing... only downside was it didn't come with rice but had a naan bread with it, so not all bad.

the delivery was late no apology the food wasl lukewarm edilble is the best we can say

food terrible place empty and still got order wrong fish fingers instead of fish supper

Fantastic food and great prices. New management means no more grumpy staff. Place is always accommodating and staff are pleasant. Food is outstanding for the price.

Food was excellent. Navi & staff very friendly.

The food was delicious, & Excellent Service thank you very much.

3 courses. £6.50 sunday 2 to 4 pm. Tasty and rapid service

Best Indian food I've had in a long time Highly recommend

Mostly takeout, but either way love this food. This is now my new regular.

First I've ordered from Shimla for years. Had a chicken tikka meal. Food quality was brilliant as was the portion size! Didn't have any dough in the house for a tip but the guy was alright about it - will definitely order again (and hopefully have a spare quid for the driver next time!).

They forgot my spiced onions , poppadoms were chewy , bhuna was bland.

Just picked up an order, told it would be 30 minutes.. arrived after 20 and food was already sitting in a delivery style bag on top of a table, woman taking the money was extremely rude! Spent £35 and missing a starter got the sauce but no starter, really disappointed as been customers for a long time, can’t fault the food but customer service really bad!

Another wonderful meal & Great service.

Always on time, always delicious!

Lovely meal and speedy service.

Excellent food and always appear either on time or early, my go to place for a curry!

Tasty authentic Indian food, Lunch menu recommended

From the moment we entered, we were made to feel welcome. We were given enough time to peruse the menu, which is extensive. With so many great options, it took some time to decide what to have. Even when we asked for some slight variations to our chosen dish, this was not a problem. Everyone's starters arrived at the same time. It was the same for the main meals, and everything was exactly as ordered. The quality and taste of our meals were top class, and the portions were generous. After our main courses we ordered ice cream. Again, the choices were extensive, and you could order as many scoops as you wanted. All the time, the staff were attentive whilst being discreet. It was a wonderfully relaxed and enjoyable evening, and I will certainly go again. Excellent.

We usually get a takeaway on a Sunday. Food is great and good value for the money.

Love the Shimla but not this time. Both curries were bland and watery. Even the pakora wasn't that great

Warm welcome, exceptional food and very professional service waw 😳 All for very reasonable prices 😳 I had a long chat with the boss about hockey and cricket as India is very strong in both sports. Thanks boss 👍

Went for first time in about 10 years. Excellent place, staff are lovely and we’re very sweet to my 4 year old who was with us. Would go back in a flash!

Delicious Indian food. Staff is friendly.

These guys make a great curry obvs..... Quality is subjective, but I will say the pakora here is our favourite in the Coatbridge/Airdrie area.

Food was absolutely amazing. Loved it. Staff really friendly.

Pakora was brilliant best I've had for a long time

For a great curry this is the place to go

Food was terrible and the customer service was horrendous. The manger challenged a 75 year old pensioner about the food and proceeded to take the full bill. Horrendous place

Very nice food - arrived early!

Delicious food,, will order again. Thumbs up 👍🏻

The food is always tasty and brilliant value for money. The staff are fab and we would recommend to others.

Been so many times food service and staff are excellent 👌

Food was cold and the curries were watery with little meat. Pakora is thin and very crispy

Food could have been hotter but it was delicious
