Shimla Spice Restaurant - Shipley in Bradford

really nice curry cooked to perfection

Always great tasting food, delivered hot and on time.

I ordered a Dhansak and it was sadly very bland. No real flavour to it and it's not the first time I've had this experience.

Great food was hot & delicious no problem

The butter chicken was to die for absolutely amazing couldn’t recommend enough

One of the best curry I had. I have had loads too. Chapati and poppadoms were so perfect. There was 6 of us and all enjoyed our night. Also we took some beers in too. Great chef.

I would recommend to only buy the starters as they were excellent. And to not buy the main dishes e.g curries, rice. As they were very bland and unseasoned.

5 stars all round, from.the moment we stepped into the restaurant we we're given top class service. The food was incredible as was the service. We visited from London for the week. Shimla Spice is now our 'Go To' restaurant. We've told all our friends to get up north to see how hospitality is really done.

Great food great service uzzy served us Excellent service Uzzy from Decker

Lovely food and good size portions.

Un par de visitas recientes, la última el sábado 8 de febrero. El servicio es impecable y la comida sublime. Probamos el curry de carne Desi - extremadamente sabroso y derretido en su boca.

Wonderful meal yet again. The service is second to none. Uzzy introduced us to the Desi meat curry which was exceptional.

Great place to go for a lovely curry, staff brilliant and friendly lovely choice of menu

Took a mouthful of curry and found a sharp piece of white plastic as I started chewing, thankfully felt it before I swallowed as could of been a different outcome, put me off the rest of my food unfortunately!

Piping hot and amazing flavours. The chicken was so juicy!

Really great atmosphere in a busy local restaurant. Deservedly busy because the food was absolutely delicious and the “family naan” was unique and life-changing!

Food was great got just what i ordered

Gran servicio, comida encantadora e incluso podemos tomar nuestro vino favorito. Atendiendo a las intolerancias alimentarias e incluso los comedores más exigentes encontraron un plato que les encantaba. Este es uno de nuestros lugares favoritos para celebrar un cumpleaños u ocasión especial.

Fantastic meal at Shimla! I was undecided on what I wanted but Uzzy picked the perfect dish for me. Best restaurant Bradford for both food and service. 5 star xxxxx

Wonderful restaurant, the Shimla spice fish balti is excellent.

Delicious food overall as usual, however the shami kebabs were extremely wet and we only received 3 chapatis when we had ordered 4; at £1.35 each it would be nice to get as many as we'd ordered.

Food was okay, but well over priced. I think because we wasn't regular. I was shocked to see the bill

Sal is the best, properly looked after us, delivered the most incredible food from the kitchen and made us feel like we were the most important people in the restaurant. Shimla is the best place in Shipley and at a price that suits your pocket. Totally recommend anyone looking for good food and a great experience.

Just had the best curry at Shimla. Sal looked after us so well. The new decor and refurbishment is lovely and I will be back soon.

Me dieron una comida para llevar de este lugar y estaba delicioso! Nos arriesgamos porque no conocíamos la zona y los mejores lugares para comer. Pero la comida de aquí era preciosa. Era un poco caro, pero definitivamente vale la pena.

Had a lovely Christmas Day curry with my family, food was great, very busy if a little chaotic but understandable, would definitely eat there again

Poor quality, missing products, not sure if this was because of NYE rush but not the best standard.

My go to curry house not just in Shipley but in Bradford! Delicious food, exceptional service from friendly knowledgable staff, I won't go anywhere else. :-) Thank you to the whole team, especially Usman, that work very hard to deliver quality food and quality service and never disappoint. The decor is very stylish and upscale. Highly recommend to everyone, even if you live at a distance.

Absolutely love the amazing food and atmosphere here every time we visit! Sal and his team are always very welcoming & provide the best food and service around!

Vay was very nice and welcoming

Just enjoyed an excellent curry at Shimla Spice - top food, really tasty and great service and food advice from Uzzy. We haven’t been for a while but will definitely be back again soon - highly recommended!

Very homely and Uzzy was a real catch ;)

Great service from Uzzy and newly refurbished restaurant looks great…love the giant family naan.

Still a long wait but great food

This is our first visit to shimla spice (Shipley one), we normally go to great horton Shimla. But by the recommendation of Sal we had the desi sizzler mix and your desi chicken karahi. Honestly very tasty and I can’t really handle spice so it wasn’t very hot thankfully. Also , we had a huge naan On a stand it was very well presented. Definitely will come again ! Keep the great work up I loved the service and atmosphere was great 👍🏻.

What another amazing boxing day evening at the Shimla Spice Shipley with my family including small children. Sal and his team really looked after us, giving us a 5star experience. The food was beautiful as always. Highly recommend. This is our 8th year celebrating boxing day here.

Very very nice and hot and I would highly recommend the naga mixed dish if you like your curry’s

Came here for our Xmas day meal.the food and service was outstanding,beautiful restaurant,thank you for tiur service we felt very spoilt 😀

Had a fantastic Curry on Christmas Day, special thanks to Sal. As regular visitors, the food and service at Shimla Spice is always excellent and is our favourite place.

WOW🤩 bajó de Escocia para quedarse con la familia y nos llevaron aquí para cenar. Hermosa decoración, comida fabulosa y personal maravilloso. Nos atendieron magníficamente Saif, un maravilloso caballero con gran sentido del humor y gran conocimiento de su menú y nuestras necesidades, y su magnífico equipo. Recomiendo esta joya de un restaurante. Saludos de Jane y familia.

Me and my husband Stuart love it here best curry place in our opinion. Service brilliant aswell.

Food piping hot , feller rang for directions as our gaff is hard to find . Boss scran

Great food and fantastic service. We always get a warm welcome. Merry Christmas and a happy New Year from Scotland.

High-quality and friendly staff food is 10 out of 10

Jay and Uzzy were wonderful waiters- really lovely food and everyone was so nice to us with such a big group.

Fantastic service from Jay and Uzzy, food was amazing

Really good food and perfect service, staff were very friendly and helpful. 😃👍

Sal particularly really looked after us. Service is excellent.

Sal was a top bloke and very welcoming (very charismatic), food was great as usual. will definitely come again!

beautiful, tasty food as always!

Fabulous food as always. Great starters and mains. Love their food 😀

Consistently good food and tonight no exception. Really buzzing atmosphere, service from Sal excellent. He was especially helpful in getting the spice levels spot on.

I have been going to the Shimla in Shipley and Keighley for more than 20 years and it never disappoints. I live on the South coast but travel to the area regularly for work and always eat at the Shimla every visit. The food never fails (nothing like it where I live) and the service is always brilliant. I’m often on my own but always made to feel very welcome and on this latest visit Sal looked after me and was really attentive and friendly. King prawn paratha to start on this visit followed by the fish karai - both were absolutely delicious.

Had a fantastic meal here last Friday with friends, absolutely delicious and great value. We were served by a lovely young man, Yaseen! He was polite and friendly, taking the time to chat. It was a pleasure to meet you Yaseen - keep up the great work!

Fabulous food , atmosphere and staff especially Sal but everyone so helpful and friendly , our highlight of our visit from Spain twice a year . Best curries ever 😋😋😋

Nos levantamos de Sussex visitando a algunos muy buenos amigos. Habían reservado este restaurante ya que era uno de sus favoritos. Empezaré con el servicio que encontré que era amable y eficiente, aunque parecía bastante apresurado en algunos puntos, pero superamos lo suficientemente rápido, ya que el plato principal era delicioso! El entrante era un poco soso (pollo en una especie de tubo de pastelería) El naan era apropiado! ¡Solo dame eso y un cubo de salsa y estoy feliz! Nos encantó pasar tiempo aquí con buenos amigos y nos pareció que la experiencia era muy agradable oh y el precio era muy reflexivo en la calidad de la comida. Tengo que mencionar a nuestro servidor Yassen que aunque era un chico muy joven era muy agradable y muy informativo en el menú y no podía hacer lo suficiente.

Great food, great service! Waiters couldn’t do more for our group! 100% recommend

Delicious food, and wonderful customer service! Staff couldn’t be more helpful or friendly. Thanks for a great evening.

Sohaib was a very good server. Food was delicious and great service! Thank you so much.

Great chicken sag and the biggest naan O have ever seen. Speedy and excellent. Top service from Yaseen.

Yaseen was a lovely waiter! Food yummy

I always enjoy eating here. The food is always fantastic but it's the service that really sets it apart. All the staff are welcoming, professional, helpful and friendly. This time we were a party of 10 and a young man called Habeeb looked after us so well he deserves a special mention 👍👍👍

Spent £50 on two curries with sides & starters. The only way to describe the chicken in the Chicken Madras was like rubber bullets, for a £12 curry not was expected, lacked the flavour you’d expect from a madras. One of the Chicken tikka pieces in the masala had a sharp piece inside. Cutting inside of partners mouth and causing her to taste blood throughout the meal. For price we’ve paid, seemingly for restaurant quality, wouldn’t recommend at all. Disappointed.

Great night out, food was quick and tasted great. Yaseen was great

Lovely food. Lovely atmosphere. And Yaseen was the perfect waiter. He even told me I looked younger than I am. Charmer.

Amazing quality food and service was 10-10, come here regularly and they never seem to disappoint everytime

Great place, staff were very friendly, service was fast, food was tasty.

Lovely surroundings but food left it down 😵‍💫 trying to kill everything with spice and chilli instead of flavour, charge this and would be 5 star 😁

I recently visited Shimla Spice Shipley, and I have to say the experience was exceptional! The food was bursting with authentic flavors, and the atmosphere was warm and inviting. However, the real highlight of the evening was Uzzy. His service was absolutely amazing – attentive, friendly, and genuinely passionate about ensuring we had a great time.

Uzzy is the best in his service. Always happy and welcoming. Love this place

Fabulous food and amazing service, Awais and Uzzy were great waiters. Cannot recommend this place enough, definitely worth a visit! 😁

Excellent food, service and environment 👌

I would recommend a chicken tikka masala it is very delicious I loved the family garlic naan

I cannot speak highly enough of this restaurant, the food is always fantastic. I have to mention Uzzy though who regularly delivers food to my elderly parents. My father had fallen and Uzzy came out specially late at night to help him to his feet. He could not have been kinder or more patient and respectful, refusing all attempts to pay him for his troubles, a special person. We are all so grateful

Este es nuestro restaurante indio favorito. Servicio siempre excelente. Entrantes excelentes, en particular masala pescado y cebolla bhajis. Balti masala curry favorito.

Not particularly impressed. Felt quite rushed to order and when food arrived was launched at us without any particular care. Other than that staff were polite and attentive but the important points felt lacking. The chicken in my Balti was particularly dry. Wouldn't rush back.

Excellent food great service uzzy our server for the evening went above and beyond to make our experience special. We will be returning. Highly recommend

Good communication before cooking items to confirm. Fresh food. All tasty and great. Quality meat and ingredients. Was referred by a friend and didn’t disappoint.

Was really craving a curry but the chicken curry - chicken was hard and the off parts of the chicken bits were white dots all through the curry. The meat curry was so dry no sauce and the meat was hard. The naan was so dry . We have eaten inside this restaurant lots of times before and the food has been lovely so was surprised but won't be ordering take out again

El iniciador de mezcla para dos estaba bien. La red tomó más de una hora, ya que nos olvidaron, pashwari naan era básicamente una envoltura de tortilla con sultanas y almendras quemadas en curry (desperdicio de dinero) tampoco eran los mejores. Básicamente pagó para comer un entrante y dejó el resto. El restaurante ni siquiera estaba ocupado, al personal tampoco le importaba una mierda

One of the best curry houses in Bradford

£ 13 para una tubería principal sin incluir arroz . . . . viejos popdoms que se doblan y no crujen . . . servicio perezoso y calefacción a toda máquina . . . curry todos iguales solo diferentes colores . . . . shockers

First time trying here and won’t be the last, food was amazing, good sized portions and delivered hot and on time!

Thank you ! Amazing food , excellent service from Uzzy and his team , wish they were in london ! Small naan was not small 😂

Always a superb meal with great service.

I went here with 2 friends for the first time. The waiters were excellent and the food was really nice. We all enjoyed our meals and the portion sizes were good. I would definitely come back

Disappointed. Told the lamb was mutton, wasn’t good either. The fish massala was excellent though.

Fabulous curry as always. Thanks!

Great restaurant with fantastic food and service. It can get noisy at times (and busy) but excellent overall. Staff is very friendly which is greatly appreciated.

Perfect again, brought my family and was not disappointed. Thank you 😊

Really nice came with my partner and experience was lovely, food was 10/10 and service by big wass was great

lond delivery time and missing poppadoms

Very good atmosphere, after a day out drinking with colleagues I went for a sober up curry, Friday night, very busy, had to wait a few minutes to get seated but the order was taken and food received with 15-20 minutes, quite a decent portion size and absolutely lovely taste. Good service for Staff too.

I have a serious problem with the food! It is so delicious it's a criminal offence. The food is vicious delicious! I would take Shimla to court but I would keep eating the evidence. It was my first time at the restaurant and would recommend it again. I will be back. I had a paratha for starters and a mutton dish for mains. Generous servings. I was full. Great job!👍👍👍👍👍

Absolutely stunning food every time . Desi chicken karahi of the highest quality . Lots of other options too . Highly recommended

food is still ok but service is very poor .............slow and things missing from order staff stood around talking will give it a swerve next time in Shipley

Great food...worth it being late

Favourite curry place. First time I went I ordered the wrong thing by mistake. Wondered what they'd spiked it with to make it one of the tastiest things I've ever had. Ordered the same thing at other places since and been severely disappointed. And I love the giant naans

Comida cara de mala calidad. . . personal del servidor sin experiencia y letárgico. . . sin atención a los detalles. . . se sintió precipitado por la puerta

The service here from the professional staff is excellent. Superb starters - onion bhajis, shami kebabs and fish masala. Mains wonderful - keema balti.
