Ordered a meal from Simla and was informed via email it was being prepared only then 40mins later I receive a message informing me order had been cancelled without any explanation! I tried to call restaurant but no answer at all, I have also emailed and still received no explanation. I'm also still awaiting refund! Absolutely appalling and would not order ever again its a shame because this place used to be good but sadly gone downhill!

We have been happily returning again and again to the Simla for around a year now, it really is a superb restaurant, and we’ve had takeaways from the Simla too. The menu is large with all classics you’d want plus a range of house specials. The wait staff have been happy to make recommendations when asked. The food is consistently delicious, timely and well priced. Good wine menu and selection of other drinks. We had not had any disappointments here at all.

Visited in December 21 I have to say hands down this is the worst meal I have ever been served in an Indian restaurant or takeaway for that matter. Lamb Tawa is my go to dish and I’ve eaten it from many different places. This was simply awful, the meat, not 100% sure it was lamb was dry and over cooked, the sauce had no depth and was watery, normally with this dish the sauce is reasonably thick and grainy showing plenty of ingredients have been added to create it. This was a plateful of meat and sliced onions with something poured over, no garnish, no effort. Another thing noted the place looked tired, oak doors are a nice touch but the dirty patches around the handles showed a lack of cleanliness, especially the kitchen door.

6 of us ordered meals and it was delivered to our campsite (Eye Kettleby Lakes) and we all had varied dishes. All of the food (generous portions) were cooked to perfection. One of the best ‘delivered’ meals I have had.

We were at Eye Kettleby caravan site Melton Mowbray and Friday night is takeaway evening. When we arrived Abdul from Simla was handing out menus. We have ordered from here before. My husband asked him about a special dish he liked but wasn’t on the menu. He listened and said no problem everything was freshly cooked. He said when you call ask for Abdul. We called later. And Abdul actually answered the phone. He remembered straight away the conversation we had earlier. Food arrived on time. With lots of other peoples orders. Absolutely amazing. Very good value for money. Lots of meat. Hot and tasty. Excellent. Will be ordering next time we are here.

It's been a while since writing a review on T.A but this restaurant really deserves a shout out. This was the 3rd time eating here in 6 weeks and each time has been a model of consistency and excellence. Ate here on the Sunday evening just gone and Abdul had a nice way of looking after us but letting us get on too. This is an art despite us being the only table seating. I will definitely keep driving the distance to come here, which includes bringing my own clients and friends to a place that offers great food and character. Wishing this restaurant all the best in the future. Thanks Simla.

Having order and being told to collect in 40 minutes. Upon arrival a further 45 minutes. In total from point of order 1hr 25 minutes with no warning or communication. The waiter said sorry when handing the food but overall extremely poor customer service. In addition the food unfortunately was not worth the wait. It had absolutely no flavour, no salad or lemon or mint sauce. Would defobatly not be visiting here again.

Sorry to have to leave a negative review as it seems everyone thinks this place is amazing but I find it anything but. I ordered a take away and was told to collect in 40 minutes but found I was left waiting for ages when I got there so took an hour and 45 minutes from point order. I did receive an apology which would have been fine if the food was good but it was absolutely poor. Bland beyond belief considering it’s an Indian restaurant and lack of mint sauce and salad. Just really disappointing as the food was for a special occasion. I’m sorry but I won’t be coming again.

Wouldn't hesitate to recommend this Indian restaurant. We have had two takeaway meals delivered directly to our pitch at Eye Kettleby Lake Caravan Park. Delivery man prompt and polite. Portions perfect. Great authentically spiced Jalfrezi and we know a good curry! Lots of chicken, peppers and onions at just the right heat. Poppadoms and pickles and tasty chapatti. We live in abroad otherwise this would definitely be our regular takeaway. Don't miss out. This is a fab experience. Keep up th good work. Top team with Mr Shah.

Llegamos a Simla sobre 730 pm, y el restaurante era muy tranquila, pero nos lo habían recomendado para probar. El camarero era muy amable y servicial y sugirió mi amigo pruebe un curry diferente que era lo suficientemente suave para su disfrute. Yo y mi marido y otro amigo todos tenían platos de mariscos y estas fueron excelentes, así como el pan Naan. Todo estaba muy bien presentada y el servicio de atención al cliente era excelente también. Era un precio muy razonable. Volveremos en el futuro. Recomiendo encarecidamente este restaurante indio. Muchas gracias a los camareros y el chef para una comida increíble.

last night i had a takeaway from Simla, and to say it was awful is an understatement,it was so bland and tasteless i thought i had ordered chicken supreme, from a school canteen. When i ordered it i asked about this dish and was told it was well spiced and medium heat, which was what i wanted, but having a watery chicken dish with raw onions and some cream in, with no taste... wasn't what i expected or orderedI would seriously think about ordering from here again.

Ordered a takeaway and was told 30 minutes. Arrived after 30 minutes and paid. I stood at the bar as he didn't say anything about a wait. 20 minutes went by and I asked how long and they said a couple of minutes. The food arrived after an hour of making the order not 30 as promised. Now I don't mind if on the phone they stayed 60 minutes but why wouldn't he tell me in the restaurant that there was going to be a long wait when I paid. Save me from standing for half an hour. When they handed over the food no apology or even an extra dish for the wait. The food was at best average. Some of it not even hot and we only ordered two mains with a couple of sides. The chapatis were the driest I've ever tasted. If you order a takeaway make sure you double the time before collecting. I'll be going to another Indian where the staff are more polite and professional.

On a recent visit to Melton, we were trying the local pubs and decided to have a curry to end the evening. Despite it being later on in the evening, they were still happy to serve.

Having booked a table for four, we were pleased that on arrival we were shown straight to the table (not always the case at some restaurants). We ordered drinks and poppadoms which arrived within 10 minutes. The waiter helped us with the menu, making recommendations, and the meals were ordered. The dishes all arrived in reasonable time. The food was really good. nice and tasty and the meat nice and tender.With 4 pints of draft Larger, 2 bottles of wine, poppadoms,starters, mains, rice and Nan breads, the price worked out at £27 per head - which we thought good value. The staff were helpful and friendly and the service good.This and the fact they serve DRAFT Larger plus the quality of the food means we will use again.

Me and a friend visited Simla and we had a great experience, bar the slow service and a 'a joke' made by a staff member.Upon receiving our main course, the waiter told us it was a type of curry we hadn't ordered. We explained that we didn't order it and that we would need the one we ordered, and he said 'We've made it now so we can't change it'.The waiter was very serious in his demeanour, therefore when he told us that he was joking and what was in his hand was in fact the correct dish, it was quite apparent that we didn't see the funny side of it. Despite being young girls and like having a joke ourselves, we honestly didn't feel like we experienced a professional service.The food itself was an all round winner, and having a wide selection on the menu was great.Wouldn't go back.

Came here for a Wednesday dinner to take advantage of their special offer. We have passed the restaurant many times since it opened but have never been in as we love our other Indian restaurant.It has a nice arrival lounge where you can have a drink, but the fridges were all switched off and empty and kind looked like they were closing down. Not a good first impression.We ordered a drink and then were shown to our table.About 20 minutes later we were offered another drink and by 30 minutes after sitting down, no one had taken our order for food.The starters tool about 30 minutes to arrive and the main meal followed. I don't like to be rushed, but the service here was too slow and impersonal. No attempt at all to strike up any conversation.The food was really tasty, in fact, probably more than our usual but could have been hotter as I found it warm.Overall, OK but not great.

I went here a few weeks ago with a group of 7 friends. We had picked a night were it was £11 for a starter, main, rice and nan. We arrived and were told it is now £12, ok an extra £1 no big deal. Sat down and ordered, the food arrived about 10 minutes later. Food was nice but it wasn't hot, in fact it was only barely warm. They also kept forgetting items of the meal, someone's drink, someone's rice, someone's nan. We were done within an hour and 15 mins. I think Simla is ok but I don't think we'll be returning

Having eaten at other Indian restaurants in Melton Mowbray, I can't understand why we haven't been here before. Whilst I was slightly concerned to begin with, by the lack of customers on a Friday night, i really shouldn't have worried!! The staff were all more than helpful, offering suggestions on dishes through to great speedy service. The food was the best I've had at an Indian restaurant, fantastic presentation on the starters and realistic sized portions for the mains, all of which were hot (heat) and flavoursome.The downside to this place; there's little parking directly outside, so you would have a short walk to get to. Depending on where you park, you could end up walking by the other Indian restaurant, which is brightly lit & more noticeable. The restaurant frontage could do with being brightened up, and made clearer where to enter, as we both walked straight by the door to the take-away part, thinking that there was another entrance, but this serves both take-away and restaurant.That said, we'll definitely eat here again!!

Having read the reviews I was looking forward to dinner at this place. On arrival the staff were friendly and despite it being early evening there were several diners who were clearly regulars which I took as a positive. The mixed grill starter was fine but a very small portion. As for the main dish: the jalfrezi was tasteless and the potatoes in the side dish were raw. The staff were attentive but I was so disappointed I couldn't even bring myself to complain (I hope this was a one off ).

Always a warm welcome and good quality has always been consistently good. It's not the very best but is nonetheless good.

The food was stunning, the meat was tender and succulent, the spices fresh and stated just right. The presentation was excellent, the staff friendly and helpful. I couldn't finish my meal (but that's just the way I am - no comment on the meal.....though the portions were generous.

A party of 13 including 5 children aged between 2 and 8 went here on a Saturday evening for a meal. The staff were very helpful. Children were no problem to them. They provided extra plates so the children could share meals as there was no children's menu. The restaurant was very clean and tidy. Staff were very attentive and well dressed. The food was excellent. No complaints from any of us and we all had different Indian meals. The restaurant is away from the waiting area for the take away collection which was nice. Lovely clean table linen and cotton serviettes. There is parking at the back up a narrow entrance by the restaurant. Also a large town car park is only 2 mins walk across the main road. I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone.

We arrived at 5.30pm and right through to the end of the meal the staff were superb. The catered fantastically for the 5 children, all under 8, in our party and nothing was too much trouble. It was my Dad's 70th Birthday meal and they found us a great 13-seat table in an area where the kids could get down and play as and when they wanted. All in all a great meal, great food and great staff. Recommended!

Having been to this restaurant since it opened and through the different owners I would say it's back to its best. Very distinctive dishes with great flavour which is so refreshing as all the others in Melton are getting more and more bland.Here they produce dishes that you can't make at home or buy at a supermarket. Recommend.

We have just had another excellent meal at Simla. Scallops lovely as always, jhinga prawns superb and chicken tikka jalfrazi succulent. Only to be topped by the attentive waiters and Abdul being the perfect host, making for a lovely evening. Highly recommended.

I've been twice to simla first time it was in jan 2013 me and my wife went there for our anniversary we were welcomed by really friendly staff so i thought it was a good start. We ordered our food I had the tandoori mix grill my wife had the seafood platter my wifes food was ok but mine came out cold first of all secondly it smelled and tasted off i gave it back to change it but they bought out the same one by just heating it in the microwave I over heard them saying to heat it in the microwave. After I went home I had really bad stomach problems for 2 days after that inccident we went to try it again in june to see if it had improved. We ordered the same thing it came out hot this time but it still made me ill again I've eaten in apurba never has anything like that has happened to me. I eat a lot of indian food simla has to be one of the worse indian in melton. When it first opened the food and service was excellent i would have said it was the best in melton not anymore. I would say apurba is i wouldn't recommend going to simla.

Wow what can I say! This is by far the best take away / restaurant in Leicestershire maybe the uk. The staff are great and nothing is to much. The place is clean and outstanding. But the most important thing is the food and I know you havent teasted better. All at a very low price.

We have been to many Indian restaurants all over but must mention this has to be one of the best.Besides the service, and very friendly staff being fantastic, the food is excellent,and I must say the onion bhaji are the best I have ever tasted.We visit here with our friends from Melton and must say every time we go we always have a lovely meal and great night. I would recommend The Simla to all curry fans. Mrs A Hames (A most satisfied customer)

We went here last night as a party of six. Been twice before as a couple and whilst there was not much wrong with the food the wait for it was very long and very cold in there due to the air con. Last night was extremely busy. Very loud!! People waiting all round the bar for takeaways right next to tables of people eating in. They seemed to concentrate on the takeaways rather than the very busy restaurant itself. Only 4 waiting staff. We ordered drinks and one was missing. Poppadoms came with one tray of pickles which we had to pass around the table. Then we waited around an hour before someone came and took those away. Then another half an hour for our curries. Yet again a curry was missing which we had to ask for. We asked staff twice where the food was. One table behind us was waiting for two hours for their food. And I had to ask them to turn the air conditioning off too as it was freezing in there again. Don't even know what it's doing on in november! Although the food was lovely this will put us off going again. They need to get rid of some of the eat in tables and get an actual waiting area for takeaways and some more waiting staff.
