Simbla Indian Resturant in Newcastle upon Tyne

Great food! The atmosphere was amazing, staff are great! Made space for us when they was busy! Good service, and friendly staff

I visited Simla with my sister on Saturday 17th February and we were more than impressed! We were greeted by Abdullah, who made our experience incredible and did everything to make sure we had a perfect night. We both love Indian cuisine and we are so happy we found and chose this restaurant to dine in. We felt like we were taken to India! The food tasted absolutely devine, we were introduced to the poppadoms by Abdullah and the dips were the best dips we’ve ever had with poppadoms. We had the Kerahi curry and it was that good we had to order more!! The flavours, wow I was in heaven! The food was served very quickly and to a high standard, I asked for coriander on my naan bread but they accidentally forgot and without me even asking Abdullah noticed and rectified this straight away, you will be looked after very well. And to top it all off, the restaurant has the most beautiful ambience.. the artwork and music set the scene, I was in awe. Abdullah even took the time to tell us about the history of the restaurant. A truly beautiful restaurant and warm team! I hope Simla knows how lucky they are to have Abdullah, a truly amazing person. Luckily, we were one of the first customers so we were able to get a table before it got busy. You really are missing out if you don’t try this restaurant and we will definitely be going back to visit. Thank you for an amazing experience Abdullah and Simla!

Visited tonight for a family birthday meal Great and friendly service and beautiful food! Lobster starter and king prawn tandoori starter were gorgeous! Will be back!

Great food and portion sizes. Service was quick and friendly. I had the chicken tikka masala and thoroughly enjoyed. Family had biryani and the portion and flavours were fab. Would highly recommend as been here multiple times and not had a bad experience.

First thing you notice is the amazing staff very knowledgeable and friendly, the place its self has a warm lively atmosphere, fully booked out on a Wednesday night. The food was amazing and couldn’t fault it at all, the value was great for the quality and authenticity of the food. Highly recommend.

The food was amazing , nicest Indian I’ve has , such lovely service and atmosphere , couldn’t fault the restaurant at all

Reallyaccommodating and attentive service and excellent food - authentic, not greasy with fabulous and fluffy naan! Arrived with no pre-booking but still felt welcome.

Excellent restaurant near the lively river Tyne quayside. Very attentive staff, tasty food, pleasant atmosphere. Will definitely be back. Thank you for a nice evening.

We haven’t been in here before, one of our party had back in 2004. The food was very tasty and the service was spot on The inside of the restaurant was very subtle and tasteful. The music was in the background and ambient We had various starters and mains and we were all extremely full and satisfied at the end of the meal The staff were very informative and helpful I would recommend a visit to this restaurant and you won’t be disappointed

came on my birthday, unfortunately we turned up late due to traffic and Abdul, the head waiter was very accommodating, we stayed past 00:00 but Abdul still provided excellent service! let us stay, and didn’t bother us! Food was amazing too, left very full. absolutely amazing service!! Thank you so much Abdul!⭐️ I’m still thinking about the food the next morning!😍

Really amazing restaurant with top quality food and service. Menu is the perfect mix of modern and traditional cuisine. Already can't wait to go back!

This was our second visit to Simla which has become a favourite in our group of friends. The menu is varied with excellent vegetarian and meat options with spice levels to suit everyone. The food was cooked to perfection and the service was attentive and efficient. The staff always go above and beyond to make groups feel comfortable and the addition of pre-dinner popadoms and post-dinner chocolates makes the experience feel extra special. I would recommend Simla to everyone! Thank you, we will be back.

So glad we got a table here. All waiters were very welcoming and food was excellent. I highly recommend the chingri malai curry for anyone who likes prawns. The menu had two chillis beside it but it wasn't too spicy, the coconut sauce was really well balanced. Also recommend the peshwari naan, that was really light and delicious.

Myself and my flatmate had a wonderful experience at Simla, the food was exquisite and staff were very friendly and warm. I recommend the trio of chicken tikka and the Tarka dahl. Will definitely be returning!

Simla is a gorgeous resatraunt with a lovely vibe. The staff are all so friendly and welcoming. The food was a genuine 10/10 and I’ll be back very soon!

Top restaurant. Amazing food. Great atmosphere. Staff were so accommodating, when we arrived restaurant was full, but head waiter Abdul recommended we pop across the road for a quick drink and he would have a table ready. 20minutes later we were seated and had order....

It was lovely both food and service. We had the lovely waiter Abdul who was attentive and friendly. We had the lamb tadka and the goan fish curry: both beautiful.

Perfect night at the SIMLA! Food, atmosphere and service all 10/10 and the balloons were a lovely touch!. The Lamb sheekh kebab and lamb chop kasundi starters were delicious 😍 will definitley be back!

Amazing! Best Indian restaurant in Newcastle, staff are all sooo lovely and food is the best! Can’t wait to go back!!!!!

The food and service of this restaurant is really amazing. Very authentic Indian food. The staff while asking for order gave his recommendations, we went by it and were pleasantly impressed.

Booked via email, seated by name, attentive waiters and delicious food. From start to finish, Simla was a pleasure. I would highly recommend and we will return.

Delicious food with good veggie options and friendly, attentive service. Definitely a repeat visit next time I'm in Newcastle.

My partner and I had a wonderful visit this evening to Simla. It had been recommended to us - and I can see why! Great vegetarian options, all wonderfully presented also. A great atmosphere and the service was spot on!

Been here several times and last night's valentines set menu was possibly the best. The mixed platter starter was perfect with a crispy pakora, chicken kebab and chicken tikka. The meat was soft and flavourful. Mains were incredible as always. This time we had desserts...

This restaurant is the best in the North East. We had the Sev Puri Chat as an appetiser (always sensational) and Abdul brought the Peacock Mango Cider! No need to ask is as it is that good. Simla go above and beyond for us as...

Wonderful service from the staff, very attentive. Gorgeous authentic Indian food, packed full of flavour and spice! At the end of the meal we were even offered a complimentary drink! Will definitely come back x

I’ve been here probably 10 times now, always make sure I visit when I’m in Newcastle which is usually once a month at least. Everything I’ve had on the menu has been fantastic, special mention to the lamb shank which is out of this world!...

The meal was delicious and the staff were very friendly. The only thing we felt rushed and the meal was over within the hour. Probably spoilt the night out.

Nice atmosphere and great food. Very reasonable pricing given the quality of the food, service and building. Would go again

After a great meal for 20 people I left my phone on the table. I didn’t realise until I got home. I rang the restaurant and the manager Abdul said that he had found it and I could collect it the next day. Thanks to...

Abdul was excellent I highly reccomend the jalfrezi. Excellent service even better food. Perfect location for anyone who wants a drink after

Absolutely gorgeous meal on the Newcastle quayside. The lamb was incredible, highly recommend the scallops starter. Service and setting was lovely.

Great food and great setting with wonderful staff. Me and my dads favourite spot in newcastle for an indian. Always a great night.

Amazing food and brilliant service. Definitely worth the 5* and 2 shots from the waiter as a lovely treat for my partners birthday. We will 100% be back.

Lovely meal in a great location next to the river just a few minutes walk from the city centre, definitely going back to try out more of the menu Abdul was a great server and very attentive

Was very excited to visit based on its position on TA. Staff, service and place was good. We had a reservation but had to wait about 10 minutes whilst our table became available. No issues with that. The food was just ok. Chilli chicken starter...

Amazing food in a lovely setting. Service is excellent, all staff were really polite and they were attentive throughout the whole meal, topping up drinks etc. Been before and will definitely keep coming back.

Hard to believe that I first ate at the Simla in the 80’s. It’s great to see the next generation taking the restaurant into the future. Food as always was excellent with a good selection of speciality gins. Menu might not be the largest but...

Great food! Loved the service! Thanks to Abdul for an absolutely delicious meal and good service. Will definitely come!

Really good Indiër in down town Newcastle. The restaurant looks verry nice, a well thought of menu and delicious food when it reaches your table! Also verry nice people who run it!

Fantastic food, attentive staff, location wonderful. We dined at Dishoom in Edinburgh a few weeks ago, and the Food @ Simla was far better by miles. Will certainly be back

Lovely food- excellent service really enjoyed our food however there was a constant cold draft (door open) that made the experience good but not great for that reason only. I can recommend here for the food.

What an outstanding restaurant, nothing is too much trouble with a pleasant genuine smile. Had not been here for a year and the staff remembered us ! Food choice is excellent and exceptional. Premises spotlessly clean and with an warm ambient atmosphere. Highly recommended.

Thank you to Abdul for an amazing night! Great food. Great company. Great service. One of the best curries in Newcastle. A must go place

What a great meal we had here, the lamb shank was lovely, and honestly one of the best peshwari Nan bread that I’ve had for a long time. The crispy pakora and trio of chicken for starters were delicious. I thoroughly enjoyed the whole meal...

Wow, what a spot! Stumbled upon Simla without having read a review or any prior knowledge of the place at all. Was so impressed by everything from the service to the food, definitely the best curry I’ve had in recent memory!!

Food is good! And I love the atmosphere with friendly staff and service. The most impressive for me is the chicken breast I ordered for dinner tonight! Tasty and love it

10/10 great food, great service. Best Indian in Newcastle in terms of quality and service. Chicken tikka masala and naan bread were amazing!

We went as couples and really enjoyed the food and the atmosphere. Lovely place and really close to town. Great food and really good service.

Delicious dinner with a lot of choices. Great service and very friendly staff, so a nice way to end your night in Newcastle.

My wife and I visited Simla for the 3rd time this evening and to say only that it was good would be an understatement. The food, the service, the staff, the decoration of the room, all stunning. Will definitely be back in the near future....

Very good! Enjoyed the food and lovely staff who were accommodating. Had a lovely time will definitely be back! Thank you!

Second visit & second time my wife & I both thought we had the best curry of our lives. This place is a proper restaurant rather than a "curry house" with hundreds of menu items. The decor is pleasant, the staff friendly & thoroughly profesional...

Best restaurant in Newcastle. First time in Newcastle on business staying at the Hilton. Was suggested another Indian restaurant but went to Simla. Had a Chingri Malai chicken... outstanding. Great service and fantastic atmosphere... highly recommended 😎
