Lovely food and fantastic service

Lovely welcome from Staff Seated in an excellent surrounding Pleasant and Caring Staff members Very clean seating areas Extensive menu Food was excellent So was service Popular Indian filled up early Recommend

I recently had the pleasure of spending two nights at this wonderful hotel. From the moment I arrived, I was greeted by the friendly and welcoming staff who made me feel right at home. The hospitality was truly exceptional. I stayed in a room with my family and it was spacious and had a nice large bathroom. The food and drinks were another highlight of my stay. The hotel’s restaurant offered a variety of Nepali and Indian dishes all of which were delicious. It also had a bar for drinking. The hotel’s location is perfect for tourists. It’s close to some of Edinburgh’s most famous attractions, including the iconic Forth Bridge, The Kelpies and the historic Edinburgh Castle. Additionally, it’s conveniently located near a golf course, which is great for visit as it’s owned by the formed President of US. Overall, my stay was incredibly enjoyable, and I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Edinburgh. The combination of great food, friendly staff, and a prime location makes it an excellent choice for travelers.

The food is absolutely amazing! Really delicious and great value. Keshab is a lovely man and an excellent host. Highly recommend 🌟

Very welcoming and very good place I highly recommend!

Best indian restaurant we have ever tried.

Great food. Service was amazing 🤩. Thank you for Nepalese 🇳🇵 hospitality

Sometimes difficult to enter the carpark, but otherwise excellent!

Tunes are gash and wouldnt change music but aye if you have a burka it's your vibes

Excellent meal , staff fully attentive, absolutely first class , definitely will be back.

Cannot fault the place, the staff, the value, the location! We all live with too high expectations but embrace this little spot for the fantastic and ideal place it is and you'll enjoy it!

We had a lovely meal. The staff were very friendly, attentive & professional.

Absolutely wonderful experience here, food is 10/10 fast friendly service luckily only live along the road can’t wait to come back wish we came here sooner xx

Very friendly service, we enjoyed our stay!

A very good restaurant! Quality and taste are top! We recommend!!!!

We are new in near kirkcaldy have tried a few indian restaurants the taste was great but the service was unbelievable. They accidently gave me a different dish to what I had ordered. Not only did they deliver the correct food and gave me extra chicken pakoras and poppadum, you don't see this kind of service anymore. I was so thankful and was so surprised.

Delicious meal. Will definitely be returning!

Stayed for work. Great service from all the staff. Rooms basic, but clean and comfortable. Could do with a suitcase stand and a relaxing chair, but functional nonetheless. The food in the restaurant is beautiful. Great service and at a good price point. Definitely worth a visit if you’re in the area.

Absolutely delicious Indian food here. Hands down the best 😀

The most amazing meal, let alone curry, I've had

HUGE FRAUD. Prices arent what they said in their menu. We didnt order poppadom neither pickle tray and they charge us for them. 4 pounds per a small bowl of rice? Are you kidding me? This was supposed to be included with the tikka masala dont go there, it's a total scam.

Nice meal definitely worth a visit

The staff are friendly both in the hotel and restaurant, the rooms are nice with good internet. The food was lovely, best naan I’ve had in years

Great food excellent service I didn't stay so can't coment on rooms.

Lovely hotel & wonderful Nepalese food. Great service all round! Carolyn & Geoff

Our local Indian, excellent food, good choice of Nepalese, much improved service since opening.

We as a family are well travelled and this really is a jewel in the crown!! Must visit !! Outstanding food and service and ridiculously cheap !! Your go to place ❤️ well done Shimla

If you want delicious food and fantastic service, this is the place to eat! This restaurant has it all, we would recommend and return. The staff is very attentive, friendly, and accommodating. Be sure to enjoy the papadum and mixed pickle veggies! Thank you for the great dinner experience

Very good food at a reasonable price. Service was excellent too

Excellent and tasty food. Well worth a visit. We will be back.

This is a must. Shimla is an exceptional restaurant. The food is divine, service is spot on and all at a reasonable price. We over ordered as usual but it's all packed up to come home. I love the hot lemon hand wipes at the end. Also it was my parents anniversary, and they brought them (us) delicious cake, and a gift voucher. Incredibly thoughtful. Do yourself a favour and try this either in the restaurant or as a take-away!!

Stayed overnight . Neat & Clean Rooms and very polite staffs. Food exceptional tasty nepali extravaganza especially chilli momos

Lovely meal had by all. Everything was fresh and light, service was exceptional

Amazing place !! Very smart and friendly staff. You need to stop here for dinner

Our first visit here and we found it by chance.. we wish we lived closer as this restaurant provides first class service and food. Toilets are very clean .. this place is highly recommended 👌

Clean rooms and good service. The restaurant is good and busy. Great value for money.

Good Indian Food and good friendly service.

Really good service, good prices ,, delicious food

The food was fantastic and the customer service was brilliant. Would highly recommend and will be back!

Lovely dinner and great service

Great food. Really fresh and tasty. Proper naan. Yum

Food and service is Really good. highly recomended for indian and Nepali food in kirkcaldy.

This is a fantastic Nepalese and Indian restaurant in the Coaltown of Wemyss. The food was amazing, with decent portions and great value. We will definitely be back. The staff were attentive and very friendly and when they found out itcwas our friends birthday , they pulled out all the stops to make itcextra special for her.

Our first visit to Shimla and was not disappointed. We had an excellent meal and the service was first class and wheelchair accessible too. We will be back.

Had a lovely meal, staff excellent, food was 🤩

Food and service fantastic as always!! Will definitely be back.

First time and very good service and very good food…

Fabulous food and service in beautiful surroundings I can honestly say one of the best experiences of dining i have experienced. food was out of this world with so much choice its definitely worth a five star + rating.

Exceptional evening, splendid food and just the friendliest service ever. We had a tremendous experience here and I couldn't fault a thing! Takeaway food prepared with no question, every tiny detail taken care of. Massive thank you to everyone.

The best restaurant in Fife by far! Food was sooooo tasty and lamb just perfect! Nan bread obviously made in house which was delicate and delicious. Service spot on. Real linen napkins. Cosy and friendly atmosphere. Hot lemon wipes to complete the dining experience..Will definitely be back!

Shimla had wonderful food and excellent service. If you’re ever passing though Coaltown, this is a must.

First visit after hearing about the restaurant from friends. They weren't wrong, food, service and surroundings very good indeed. We'll be back... soon! Edit: We did, indeed, come back, on a Wednesday early evening and were pleasantly surprised to see the place busy. Service was still excellent, the guys get the balance right between attentiveness and giving you space. I can thoroughly recommend the Everest beer, delicious! Good food, well cooked, lovely. Edit again: We've now been about a dozen times and have never been disappointed. The food maintains a high level of consistency and quality. The place is warm and welcoming as are the staff. I cannot fault it.

Amazing. Best food in the area. Fresh, reasonably priced and great service and respect given to their customers at all times as soon as you enter the premises. Had a few orders now but tonight’s meal was a solid 10/10 so happy to give it five stars. As long as the standard is consistent like this evening won’t go anywhere else in the area for a curry!! Some really good dishes. I’d stick to the special dishes for a more intense flavour. Starters are really good here also. Aloo tikki, momo and pakora are very nice. Couple of dishes to try if you like it hot go for the Kolapuri and milder then the Thakali. Quick update many months later and we just had yet another exceptional meal, 10/10 again. Cannot fault our order and this has been consistent for months and months. Truly incredible maintaining such a high standard. There is nowhere else like this in Fife. We tend to order a pakora, Thakali, Kolapuri with peshwari nan and chapatis every time and it’s that great a combination we just can’t change our order!! Thanks to everyone at the Shimla.

Gorgeous meal and friendly staff who couldn't do more for you. Menu has really nice choice of dishes with lots of things I hadn't heard of before (so more to try next time 😀). Will definitely be back.

A Sunday evening dinner for two. Good portions, great service and nice location. The selection of draught bets is smash but comprehensive with the bottled beers option. Priced much the same as other Indian restaurants nearby

Outstanding food, first visit, will be returning regularly given the high standards.

Our first visit here to try the Nepalese dining experience. A great food choice on the menu. A minimal selection of beers and cider. The food was excellent and the service was as good. Great portions and we took some leftovers home. Reasonably priced, all the nearest restaurants to here have their own quirks and price gimmicks. We will dine here again.

Food is excellent, staff are polite service is excellent

Superb! The food is truly exceptional and the service was amazing. The restaurant is a lovely space and comfortable. We had such a great time celebrating a big birthday. Thank you Shimla team, we will definitely see you again!

Fabulous food great professional friendly staff

Family dinner and a great food experience. All staff were very attentive and the food was all excellent. They also provide takeaway and delivery. Definitely would recommend if you've never been

We've been for lunch with a couple of friends in the Restaurant. It was just lovely, the ambiente, the service and staff and especially the food. We'll definitivly come more often from now on. 🤩🤩🤩

went to heaven and died, fab, food out of this world, beautifully presented, good portions great service, best in the area

Even though it is an old building, its cleanliness attracts attention. The restaurant downstairs offers delicious food.

Great find. Finally got to go while in the area. Beautiful food, I had the Himalayan chicken Stew with mushroom rice. It was spicy and I loved it. Service was excellent. Some nice beers on offer too.

Lovely service last night for my daughters birthday. The staff went above and beyond to make her feel special. Thank you so much !

We checked in , Harry was most helpful carrying our bags up the stairs. Room is compact, clean and cozy. Great bathroom/shower. We popped downstairs to the bar and had a snack/starters and omg what a taste sensation!! Definitely having dinner Herr tomorrow night. So glad we chose this hotel..culturally different and so pleasant for eclectic kiwi travellers.👌😀

New years day meal with friends, had 3 separate tables booked as there was 17 of us. Place was warm when entering and our table was near a radiator. Seated right away and after 5 minutes or so our drinks order was taken. After 10 minutes food order taken and starters came out quick. Poppadoms with dips to munch on before starters came & we got a sharing platter to start between 4 of us, I Got the dopiaza, 2 got tikka masala and the other got a bhuna- all chicken, 3 portions of rice, 2 naan breads between us. Meals were delicious and good size portions. Spiced onions were amazing!! Not much left over and you can ask for it to be bagged up to take home if you want. After the tables were cleared, we got the hot cloths and dessert menu and we asked for the bill which came quickly. We were going to get dessert and coffees but they never came near us to take orders, we were a bit annoyed at that so the tip was reduced slightly. My only real complaint was as the time went by, people were going in and out the door for vaping and toilets so the freezing cold came in everytime the door was opened, some of us had to put coats back on. All n all, food great so go along for a nice meal n drink and enjoy!

We stopped for the last night in Scotland and picked the Earl David hotel because of the price and location. We were pleased to find the room was clean and bright. The sheets and beds are clean and comfortable. We were intrigued by the Napalese food in the restaurant, so even though we were not super hungry, we decided to get a little something. Our servers were gracious and kind. The service was very good. They made suggestions of which Napalese specific dishes to try and the food was wonderful. They also let us know at ordering that the dishes would take a little longer to make. The food was incredible and hot. The spice level was perfect. I would gladly come back to both the hotel and the restaurant.

The meal was excellent, I was going to order lamb madrash and the staff suggested kolhapuri since I like spicy, and it was the best decision. Couldn’t fault anything. Plus we were given a free rice pudding which was delicious too.

Fabulous local Indian restaurant. It certainly didn't disappoint with great staff. We will definitely be back 🔥

The food was really good. Full of flavour. We decided to stop in on our way back to Kirkcaldy and I'm happy that we did :)

Das Essen war wirklich unglaublich gut, die Mischung der einzelnen Zutaten ist wirklich einmalig. Das Zimmer war soweit ok, aber die Dusche war permanent kalt, keine Klo Bürste und das Wasser im Waschbecken zum alternativen waschen war auch kalt und floss nicht mehr ab. Aber jederzeit wieder auf eine Mahlzeit sind wir dabei

We always get our take from here and the food is lovely. We decided to sit in. The service was slow, no one offered to get us another drink even though glasses were empty, the service was slow and not sure why they think bright LED lighting is fitting for a restaurant.

Despite booking via website the staff had no note of booking. Table available though. Food was good and reasonably priced. Car park to rear.

The place is lovely, staff are very friendly too. Had a mix starter for starters then a korma and the korma was the best tasting in fife. Will be back again.

Το ξενοδοχείο είναι πολύ καθαρό κ ζεστό...όλα ήταν πολύ ωραία.. μπράβο.το φαγητό στο εστιατόριο είναι από τα καλύτερα πού έχω φάει.. η ατμόσφαιρα..το σέρβις οι υπάλληλοι πολύ ευγενικοί...αξίζει να το επισκεφτείτε...

Top class Indian food can't fault it Also portion sizes are excellent 👌

I went for lunch with two friends for the first time today. The atmosphere was lovely, staff warm and welcoming and the food was absolutely delicious. I would highly recommend a visit. At first glance parking seems limited but there is actually a large customer car park behind the building. Our waiter Hari was the perfect host and the whole experience was superb.

Ordered a takeaway meal for pick up from shimla. Promp service. The food is cooked to a very high standard. Portions are very generous. 100 percent recommend this indian resturant. Very good value for money. The chicken tika is probably the best we have tasted. Well done to this resturant.

Outstanding food and service. If you haven't been it's well worth a visit. Pictures of momos and chilli chicken attached

Very good food but prices are high for what you’re getting. Two poppadoms with dip each was £9+ other restaurants these are free. Will stick with the prince in Kirkcaldy better value for just as good food. Pitty as it’s just along the road.

The dishes were amazing, had tandoori tikka chicken for starter then South Indian garlic chilli chicken. Excellent flavours, highly recommend. Excellent Indian dishes, look forward to trying the specialties. Surely the best local Indian, better than anything in Kircaldy.

The food in this place is amazing the service is amazing place is clean aswell no faults to be found

Just been to shimla restaurant as a family of 5 granddaughter recommended it and wow food was fantastic . Staff very pleasant and helpful explaining all the dishes nothing was too much trouble for them . Will definitely be back .

Hotel a pie de carretera, habitaciónes recién remodeladas por lo que veo,la atención de los trabajadores de 10 y la comida típica de Nepal que sirven en su restaurante inmejorable,un acierto el venir, repetiría sin lugar a dudas.

Amazing authentic Indian food, great value and friendly professional staff

Great accommodation for the price. The restaurant is well worth a visit if you're staying in the hotel as the food is excellent.

First time visit and was not disappointed. Thanks for a superb meal and excellent service by very welcoming, friendly staff. Will definitely be back soon!

We booked 1 night at Earl David as we were travelling from Loch Ness from a holiday and venturing on to Edinburgh the day after, the staff here are excellent, room was very comfortable and decor was excellent. I had forgotten my corkscrew for my wine (devastated!), no problem as the person behind the bar lent me one!! We booked a table in the restaurant for the evening, the food choice was amazing, I'm vegetarian and I chose paneer ghorka which was brilliant 👏 my wife had chicken himalayan hot pot, she also said it was amazing 👏 what we couldn't eat, the staff put in a doggy bag for us - outstanding staff from chef's to waiter's, we'd like to thank you for everything 😀

I don’t normally do this but feel I need to as I’ve Just been here tonight after recommendation from my brother and it was absolutely delicious! The food really is tremendous and very fresh! The staff are very friendly as well and very fairly priced! If you like Indian food this is a must try!

Unbelievable best Indian and Nepal restaurant I have been to I have eat Indian food for 10 years and no where compared 10/10 please come 👌👌👌👌👌👌

We went for the takeaway two nights ago, and I can honestly say that this was one of the best Indian we have had in a very long time. We will definitely get it from here. We will go one night for the restaurant too

Went for a Friday night evening meal. I have been to a few Nepalese restaurants and this did not disappoint. Service was incredible and food absolutely delicious.
