We visited with our family expecting to have flavourful authentic curry dishes, we ordered butter chicken, chicken rogan josh (hot) and chicken balti (mild) non of the dishes had any flavour infact the balti and rogan josh tasted exactly the same apart from the balti came covered in chillies and chillie seeds and was hot and the rogan josh had no spice at all, the portions were small and the chicken was like what id left over after the main meat is taken from the carcus and i feel overall it was overpriced for what was less enjoyable than our local takeaway. The bottles cola just tasted cheap and flat, i would of rather spent a third of the price and gone to Mcdonalds Wouldnt come again

First time we try food from Shimlas Leeds had very bad experience we order chicken tikka and whole chicken. It should be grill but unfortunately the chicken we order was not grilled, its looks like boiled or steamed. Full waste of money. Don’t think I am complaining regarding the money. Our concern is regarding the food we received for takeway. Very bad experience.

Absolutely Outstanding Experience at Shimla Leeds I recently visited Shimla Restaurant in Leeds, and I have to say—it was an absolute delight from start to finish! The starters and BBQ are simply out of this world. Each item was bursting with flavor, perfectly spiced, and cooked to perfection. The BBQ platter was the star of the show: juicy seekh kebabs, tender chicken tikka, and melt-in-your-mouth lamb chops, all grilled with that authentic smoky touch that’s hard to find. Every bite felt like a celebration of desi spices and traditional flair. The presentation was spot-on, and everything arrived sizzling hot. The staff were welcoming, attentive, and genuinely made us feel at home. If you're a fan of rich, flavourful Pakistani cuisine—especially BBQ—Shimla is a must-visit. Highly recommended for food lovers in Leeds! -

Worst service we've received from shimlas we come here every other week, but I will definitely not be coming here again. I know it was Eid and you don't open but if you did open atleast have the prep done. When we ordered the girl who toke our order kept saying we don't have this in stock we don't have this and we don't have that so I told her can I speak to the manager she said she is the manager. Tbh I then went onto grilled item then she said oh there's 40 mins wait for this. And then came the part asked for irn bru which u had plenty of case on the left in the store nd was told no irnbru left. So we had to just leave from here. Just to let u know if your booking a table over the phone atleast tell the customers that we don't have majority of the items. A waste of 40 mins of drive and if you can't cope in less busy time I'm shocked how u would be in busy time.

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.

I visited this place with the assumption that it serves authentic Indian/Pakistani cuisine. Much to my disappointment, I experienced the most whitewashed version of the butter chicken special. The lamb biryani was also pilau rice with meat added to it which in actual fact should be renamed meat pilau rice. It reminded of the time I used to work for a local Indian restaurant that catered for the English rather than desi customer. The only saving grace was the masala fish Many years ago I used to be a fan of Akbar's due to their attention to producing desi style dishes with desi flavours. Shimlas has a long way to go to even reach that pedestal.

I don’t understand how this place is highly rated. Came here around 10pm and the waitress had a negative attitude, didn’t really answer any questions and overall put us off initially. We waited for the food and that was just as bad as the service. The butter chicken is very watery and the chicken had none of the fat cut off it. Waitress was no where to be seen but the kitchen. I will only compliment the naan which was nice but I really think this is one of the worst restaurants I’ve been to. I feel like I wasted my money here

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 .

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.
