Very polite but very slow. We were the only customers and it took them 50 minutes because they hadn't put the grill on. Food was worth the wait but it was very frustrating.

Amazing Dining Experience at Shimla Leeds I visited Shimla Leeds today and had a fantastic experience. We ordered Chicken Tikka Kabab, Mixed Kabab, Nuggets Kids Meal, and Milk Cake, and everything was absolutely delicious. The flavors were spot on, and the dishes were beautifully prepared. The service was top-notch, and a special thanks to Athira for her exceptional hospitality—she was attentive, friendly, and made sure everything was perfect. The warm and inviting ambiance added to the experience. Highly recommend this restaurant for great food, excellent service, and a memorable dining experience!

First visit, takeaway. Mixed kebab. Meat was ok, little difficult to tell. Same with naan, nice around the edges. Meal spoiled by the famous sauce. Not the taste, the quantity. Opened the box and the food looked great, but once started tucking in found there was that much sauce pooled under the meat that some pieces of chicken were completely submerged. Removed what I could with a spoon but couldn't save it. I see from the menu your proud of your famous sauce, but nevertheless it's only an accompliament and not the main event. I had to dregde through it with my fork to find the meat and the naan was that saturated it was more like paper mashay. You were busy and maybe rushing, but please, a couple seconds more care and a little less slap dash and it mightve been a nice meal. Side note .... if you ask if I want salad .... give salad. I got a sprinkling of lettuce and onion, 1 pickled chilli. I had to bulk it out with some I had in the fridge. Didnt take a pic before I started. Only of what was left when I lost interest. Salad was my own .

Meat Chop Masala, Boiled Rice and Naan Bread - Delicious! I forgot to take a photo as the food smelt so good, hence the empty plate. You can taste the combinations of spices wrapped around the delicious chops. A thick and flavourful sauce. I will most definitely be ordering from Shimlas again.

I went to visit my local shimlas branch Roundhay Road on a Saturday morning with a friend and I had the mixed grill, whilst my friend had donner on naan. Service was great as we were the only customers and we came pretty much as soon as they opened. Usually I wouldn't have a meal this early on a morning but I wouldn't expect stomach pains and diarrhoea to follow. My friend experienced the same and I spoke to a colleague at shimlas about this who would inform me about any update as to how they will resolve this matter. It's been over a week now and I have had no response. This is absolutely appalling and I certainly will not be coming again. I will be reporting to food standard agency for lack of communication.

Restaurant Review: A Series of Disappointments I’ve been to this restaurant several times, hoping it would improve, but each visit has been a letdown. Last night was the tipping point. I brought a guest, only to be greeted with shockingly rude service. Despite the upstairs being completely empty, the waitress insisted we sit at a cramped table practically in the doorway or “go somewhere else.” We chose the latter, and it was the best decision of the evening. This isn’t the first time the restaurant has fallen short. From being overcharged on multiple occasions to enduring mediocre, substandard food, the experience is consistently frustrating. The dishes lack flavor, creativity, and any sense of care—hardly worth the price they charge. The staff’s attitude is another major issue. Unprofessional and indifferent at best, they seem entirely disinterested in making guests feel welcome. Hospitality is clearly not a priority here. I’ve given this place more chances than it deserves, and I won’t be back. There are far better dining options where your time, money, and presence are genuinely valued—this isn’t one of them.

I’ve been a customer for a long time because they have good chicken kebabs at a fair price. I usually eat in and take some food to go before I leave. But when I get takeaways, the portion is always about half of what I get when I eat in, which feels shady since it’s happened three times. They’re definitely doing it on purpose. Also, the music is always so loud that you have to shout to talk to anyone, which kind of ruins the atmosphere.

So as I came in to collect my order I was not served and then two delivery drivers came in after me and were served before I had to ask for my order. I ordered chicken tikka on naan and there was hardly any chicken pieces and it had just been covered over by salad to make it look full. I have had food from Shimlas before and is normally nice but maybe due to business the food was not the same

Located on Roundhay Road, Shimla's is a good edition to Leeds dining scene. The starters are 5 star mains are also very good. Overall it is a good place to visit for proper meal or a quick bite. Service is great and the atmosphere was good. One of the best indian/Pakistani food in Leeds. Will highly Recommended. Located opposite CC Continental on Roundhay Road, Shimla's can be easily spotted from the road. There is parking to the rear of the restaurant. The place has a good atmosphere. The time we went out was quiet, and we got our table quite quickly. Ordered Seekh kebab, Lamb Chops, and chicken wings for starter. It took a while for food to arrive, which was not very good as the place was quiet. With regards to state, the Kebab was the best that I have eaten in Leeds juicy and full of flavour. The sauces were flavoursome infact were quite good. The lamb chops were really soft and full of flavour, and they were really good. The wings, in my opinion, were good but not special. For the main ordered Chicken Donner, fish donner. The chicken donner was quite plain/bland and could have done with a bit seasoning, Would not order it again as the starters were really good. The fried donner was quite nice fried battered fish, not exactly donner. Following visit, tried meat karahi, biryani, chicken karahi and they are all really good. Overall, the food is really good. Will highly recommend the place.

Visited the store, as soon as we approached the counter the member of staff told us to wait as all the seats downstairs were full, we waited, the restaurant has a full upstairs area for seating but we were told we cant sit upstairs, we told him we are leaving, he didnt show no customer service in providing us a table, we then said we want to speak to the manager and as soon we said this he immediately said i can give you a table upstairs, which means he could have given the table upstairs but he didnt want to do the service upstairs. Also asked for mojitos and was told they dont have any, when they did, and he was giving to other tables (probably because he was angry at us for saying we want to speak to manager). Very disappointed with our experience, poor customer service, no apology from him and no respect at all! (THE STAFF MEMBERS PHOTO IS BELOW WHO GAVE POOR SERVICE)

The Leeds Akbars branch consistently fails with their service every single time I have visited. I went with a friend today and a worker called Waseem (don’t know if he’s the manager or what but he’s one of the waiters and always acts incredibly egotistical), this guy I have had multiple interactions with not only today but several other visits and has been incredibly distasteful and doesn’t know how to treat younger customers or even serve them. I observed the manner in which he speaks to other customers of a different descent compared to myself and let’s just say, it’s always been biased (funny considering I’m bangladeshi myself). He is incredibly rude and I witnessed him speaking to one of the workers .who I personally know, in such a disgusting manner. The chefs have JUST as much of a right to be creating a warming atmosphere and tend to be more helpful than their rubbish waiters (i.e Waseem). The male who I knew of, came to speak to me respectfully, briefly ensuring the food was okay and instead Waseem aggressively pulled him back and started being condescending towards him and attempted to belittle him by asking me “is this your friend?” How disgusting and as an older man you should not be speaking to a member of staff in such a way. Every time I have spoken to Waseem it has been unpleasant and he doesn’t know how to phrase his sentences in the correct way towards customers. Waseem then starts hurrying the chef and leaves him alone when I said I know him. Utterly disgusted and therefore ruined my whole experience. My friend witnessed him multiple times staring at us which is not what a waiter is meant to do. I have deep experience in the hospitality industry and have a family who own successful hospitality businesses and believe me, this is not something that I take lightly. I will be informing management at some point. Such a shame I took a friend who’s never been to Akbars before in hopes for a nice evening but in return, left with disgust and I won’t be visiting this place any time soon.

Gran comida en un gran lugar Había pasado por delante de esto un montón de veces, pero decidió reservar para una comida y muy contento de que lo hicimos. El servicio fue excelente Personal muy atento y amable La comida era excelente también Calidad de Dios Todos los platos principales eran muy sabrosos y porciones de gran tamaño. Es BYOB que también es genial, ya que hace que la factura sea mucho más barata Solo la retroalimentación estaría en uno de los arrancadores Gambas reales Muy encantador, pero solo tienes 2 de ellos Eran grandes, pero el plato era solo de aproximadamente £ 5. 50 Si tuvieras 3 o 4 eso habría sido mejor pero habría pagado felizmente ese poco extra por ello, así que tal vez uno para mirar en el futuro. En general, estropea cualquier cosa solo una observación
