Simla Cuisine Indian Restaurant in Tunbridge Wells

Great food, very chilled atmosphere, and the staff were very attentive without being intrusive. I would highly recommend this restaurant for a curry

Been using this restaurant now for about 40 years now. And I’ve seen it go up and down. But what I have learnt is if Abdal is away so is the food. Had a Balti Madras. The only difference between that and a standard madras was a naan bread and a dhansak which had a good texture but both had no spicy flavour at all. Such a same as I do look forward to my Friday curry

My favourite Indian restaurant. Absolutely love the place.

Food fantastic reasonably priced service very good lovley cosy atmosphere best to book has it gets very busy also do takeaway service I think you have to pick up

First time ordered prawn dish from this place and it was that over cooked that I thought it was chicken. Second time wanted to give a go with chicken dish meant to be buttery chicken, they gave me korma with the driest chicken I could ever taste! So I thought third time lucky and chicken dish again tikka masala this time, it was korma like again but darker colour, chicken was dry like sand. That was the last time I ordered from them, must say frozen Indian food from warehouse in tonbridge is so much taster and have proper flavours than in this place sadly. NO from me

This was my first visit to this restaurant for a takaway, I spoke to the owner a very nice chap. The food was excellent and reasonably priced. The next visit will be with my wife for a meal at the restaurant. Recommended.

Amazing food great experience king prawn pathi

This restaurant is excellent, extremely good food a brilliant service the owner is a gentleman. Please try the patia dish it is wonderful. Many thanks Simla!!

Beautiful meal, staff just amazingly friendly and helpful. Restaurant meticulously clean and excellent value for money. A complimentary Baileys at the end of the meal for my birthday was a lovely touch, thank you.

Good takeaway bit of a wait on collection

Abdul was soo welcoming as soon as you walk in, would defo recommend and come back for sure!

Having been away for a few years Abdul made us feel very welcome to come back. The meal we had was excellent, cooked to how we had asked and how we remembered . Can definitely recommend this restaurant for quality and value.

Good food protion Extremely comfortable Great meal

As always fantastic food and service

Had a really lovely meal, lots of flavour.

Good takeaway, good service and tasty food

We had a takeaway, but looked good to eat in

Very tasty food, friendly staff and an excellent service

We ordered our first take away and we were pleasantly surprised as the food was very ample in portions and freshly well prepared and tasted delicious so we will definitely order from here again. Thank you from the Stewards

We have lived in Paddock Wood for close on 20 years and when we first moved here Simla was average at best. However over the last few years it has improved considerably and we probably dine here about ten times a year. Now it is consistently good and we always enjoy our meal. It is also very good value for money. It can struggle a bit to keep up with demand on busy nights but I have no complaints about the food at all.

Its ok is about all I can say for it. Looks dated and old, and food was nothing special. Better places you can have a curry around paddock wood.

An impromptu midweek curry. I have been going to this restaurant for more that 25 years. The quality of the food has improved, especially over the last couple of years. Another great evening. Excellent food and very friendly staff. Well done!

Ordered a takeaway..Prawn dansak, pila rice, sag panir.. The worst curry we ever had..food bland, flavourless and stodgy. Prawns over cooked, like rubber. No lentils in the dansak.. Wasn't even pila rice, more like boiled rice.. Avoid at all cost..waste of money.. Would give no stars if we could.!!!

Never again - place supposed to close around 11pm, by 9.55 it was empty and staff stood staring waiting for us to finish it was so awkward and it’s not the first time jt has happened. Very rude and will never go again.

Chaotic slow service but good food. Left slightly miffed

Really nice food and pleasant staff.

Meal took a little too long to appear but the staff and atmosphere were excellent

Went in after work to have a quick curry but was refused a table in the empty restaurant as I was in work clothes. I am a builder and after working a long day wanted to get a nice meal with a colleague. The joke is, even after a long day on site we were both cleaner and smarter looking than the trampy peado looking manager who was a scruffy old pervy looking thing who rudely refused us entry to his empty restaurant, I’m actually glad I didn’t eat there as he probably spunks in the sauces!

Having been here a few times, this will be my last. Having said this before, I put it down to a bad night and tried again but it has not changed. Saturday night, well before 10pm and we were the last in the restaurant. The closing time states 11 pm. The music was turned off, and the staff congregated around the bar area and stood close. It was so uncomfortable and completely ruined the evening. I felt intimidated and a couple of the waiters was watching us. I will not be returning and will not even get a takeaway now. It's a shame because it is a nice environment. PWood needs some decent evening restaurants/bars it is a ghost town after 8pm. Sorry Simla, another two people that will not enter your premises ever again.

Amazing food and excellent service. Friendly and welcoming. Love this place

We have been here many times since it opened and had some very nice meals. Abdul the manager is always very welcoming. The last couple of times the food was tasteless. This week the Korma was so thick it stuck to the spoon like glue, the Rogan tasted as if it had been cooked and re cooked several times. We were not offered the desert menu and we were not asked if we enjoyed the meal at any time during the meal. Needless to say Abdul was not there at all. Come on Simla buck your ideas up.

Never had a bad meal at this restaurant

Great place to eat Indian food. The staff here are very nice ,the food is outstanding as well as the service and reasonably priced too we were out for nans 97 th birthday and they made us all feel welcome thanks guys

Booked for a special occasion and left very disappointed. Sat down at 6:30pm and it took 30 minutes for our drinks order to be served (table of 7) after having to ask the staff several times. Our starters arrived an hour after our arrival and our main courses served at 8pm. The staff appeared too busy with the ‘take away’ orders to pay us any attention. Food was not the best and considering lots was left on our plates, no one asked how our meal was. When booking had identified we were celebrating 2 family birthdays and no mention was made. One friendly waitress but apart from that we would not go back.

Love this place. Been coming for 27 years! Abdul and his team are awesome. Great food and a welcoming atmosphere.

Really bad experience at this restaurant- had been recommended but goodness knows why. I would not have known what I was eating - flavourless and bland. Waited 40 minutes having ordered well in advance - will not return.

Excellent food and excellent service as always! I would highly recommend!

great food and great service, would always recommend!

Just moved to Paddock Wood, from Maidstone. We were spolied by the selection of high quality Indian restaurants in Maidstone, so we had high expectations. We were not disappointed. The food was excellent. Hot, tasty food and friendly service. We would highly recommend them. We will definitley be going there again. Thanks Simla!

Food was of a satisfactory level but the way the overseer/manager just stood and stared at us the whole time was one of the most uncomfortable dinning experience

After being a loyal customer with my local restaurant for 20 Years the level of the quality of the food had rapidly changed over the previous months so after a run of bad takeaways i decided to try Simla, I ordered Chicken Tikka Masala, Pilau Rice, Sag Panir, Naan bread Tikka Masala was luke warm the portion size would have passed for a kids meal, Very bland with no flavour The Rice was again was not that hot The Sag Panir was just horrible The bread was the best part but dipping it in luke warm sauce was not ideal I never complain i will just move on and try somewhere else How this place has 4.6 Star blows my mind!

Hands down the best Indian takeaway in Paddock Wood! The food is lovely, fairly priced and the staff are very welcoming!

Took my Dad and Wife out for a meal read a few reviews one quite recently nearly put me off. Glad I took no notice of the review Food was excellent staff attentive well worth even penny very clean food fantastic standard 10/10 keep up the fantastic work. Thank you to all the staff

First experience at Simla tonight … absolutely delicious!! 10/10 for food quality, service and value. Thankyou, we’ll be regulars.

The best curry! Excellent dining and take away. Great service too.

Went with some friends last night and the food was superb. Great value.

First time here in 8 years. Food always top quality, since 1984! Good to see that this type of quality does not always change. Only criticism is the guy who brings the food along and clears the table. His English is indecipherable, and he cuts into any table conversation by shouting through it.

Simla does delicious food. I think maybe the menu has changed a bit recently. There a prawn/spinach dish with melted cheese on top that I don’t remember from before. I’ve never come across it before but it works. My only real complaint is how small the portions are now. You definitely need a starter and/or a side dish for a full meal. One rice doesn’t really feed two people. So be ready to order more food! But, the food is fresh and never feels like it has been sitting around all evening. The spices are cooked through and not raw and brutal. It’s good food. Just a little small.

We love it here. A spectacular venue with fabulous food. Abdul is a wonderful host. Highly recommend.

Fantastic love all of it will come again trevxx Kevin 🙋‍♂️

Sorry to have to write this but Simla in Paddock Wood is possibly the worst Indian restaurant I have ever experienced. We ordered a Pathia which was watered down and loaded with coconut. This is NOT what Pathia should be. Also, the chicken tikka was literally chicken pieces covered in curry powder and deep fried. It wasn’t tikka AT ALL! The rice was quite clearly made in a rice cooker and wasn’t pilau in any shape or form. Then there’s the naan bread. This was ok on the outside., nice and charred. But the centre was actually raw and soggy. Sorry hit this place has no right to call itself an Indian restaurant. Do yourself a favour and skip this one.

I had a very good curry tonight I highly every one to come here

Part of our order was missing. Food was watery and we actually did a covid test afterwards as it had no taste and we thought it was us. Upset stomach for days afterwards

Food is lovely, I will definitely be back! We all really enjoyed it and really good service, can’t wait to come back soon.

amazing food and great people with great service

yummy food and really nice staff

First time placing an order here and we (three of us) found our curries bland and soggy. The poppadoms had more flavour! So disappointing.

Went there last Friday with family and my babies. Received excellent service as always, food was hot and fresh, and prices were very fair. Love supporting our local businesses and have always enjoyed every visit here.

Amazing curry and good customer service

Great curry,nice atmosphere,amazing service as usual definitely be back.

Lovely food and staff are amazing. They go above and beyond. Would highly recommend!

Good service good food and well priced.

Good, but ordered a vindaloo and it wasn't as hot as I expected. If you like spicy food, order a vindaloo here.

went to simla cuisine food WAS so good had maharaja it was butifull.my friend had a shahlick soo goood

I have visited simla cuisine on various occasions the food is very good I've had simla special oh'ooo..... Thnx guys... Simla. Sim. Si...?.!.

We have order from Simla before and found there food completely amazing they are happy to adapte there dishes for people like my partner who isn't overly keen on hot and spicy foods, today we were able to dine in with Simla and again there food did not disappoint they are extremely polite and have amazing customer service. I have eaten a lots of Indian Cuisnes and Simla is by far the best. I would highly recommend them to everybody. Thank you to the Simla staff for an amazing experience.

Walked in ordered takeaway, friendly staff and quick service. I could tell from the moment I smelt the food it was going to be tasty from nann to chicken tikka masala all is as you would expect. Minor thing was the mango sauce for poppadoms wasn't to my taste but otherwise a happy customer.

Wonderful Indian tonight! Thank you Simla! Lovely as always. :)

Great food and choice, polite service

We have lived locally to Simla Cuisine for many years and have always enjoyed a good meal whether it be as a couple or with friends and family. And of course takeaway. The food is good and good value for money. The staff are efficient and polite

Tonight we had very delicious chicken tikki masala garlic naan and rice, always welcoming when you go in Just brilliant

Very quick & efficient service to table & starters. Polite staff & most importantly, the food was delicious. The vegetarian option I was told, was very well cooked & tasty. A nice evening.

Been going here for years... but I'm so disappointed this place has gone to the dogs, awful service and terrible food ... stay well clear

Had a cracking takeaway from here last night.

Very lovely food and great, quick service and company of the staff :) definitely recommend.

It was really scrummy in my tummy. Very yummy . My tummy felt so nice afterwards. Nom nom nom. Bangla, cobra, curry yum.

Amazing food and great service - definitely recommend!! Great social distancing and corona virus precautions

Just had a really great evening,top food really good service,I recommend to anyone,in paddock wood Kent.

Have been here for 25 years and this establishment has never let me down. Tasteful food, exquisite service and always leaving feeling full and happy. The menu is full of variety with every appetite being satisfied and fulfilled!

Rude staff Fairly priced Staff stood watching me eat and then were “busy” when I needed them

Lovely evening with lovely food. King Prawn Bhuna was delicious. Always feel welcome and staff always polite. Definitely worth going to enjoy. Xx

Always consistently good quality food in generous portions. Abdul and his staff are always professional & friendly. A nice vibe - couples, family groups & young adults

Went for a friends Birthday meal. Was very impressed with the measures put in place. The staff were fully aware of the precautions needed & all adhered to them. Social distancing was excellent too. Food was excellent

Recently updated for COVID decent spacing between groups. Service excellent as ever. Help support our local services.

We chose Simla Cuisine to host a lunch after my Mother's funeral. Excellent social distancing, great service (as ever). Great food and hospitality. Special thanks to Abdul and his staff - like being served by friends.

The best indian in the area! 100% would reccomend

Always welcoming and polite. Food very good and well priced. Been a few times now and will keep coming back
