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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.
Terry Clifton . 2022-06-12

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.

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.

Been coming here to eat, sporadically, for the last 20 years, though not for a while. Decided to visit again, for a takeaway. Wanted to order two lamb dishes and asked on arrival if the lamb was tender or if I should order chicken, I was assured it was tender. Well what a disappointment. Both lamb dishes were very fatty, my wife threw hers away. Not much taste either. The onion bhajis were small standard fare that looked and tasted like a Morrisons or ASDA offering. Surely not freshly homemade. The sag aloo was overcooked slop. Staff are nice, very pleasant beer whilst waiting, but to say the food was ordinary would be generous, especially when there are much better Indian restaurants not far away. Last visit here.

I’ve just had a first class meal at Simla with my son. We have often visited as a family and keep doing so because the food is very good and fresh, with an excellent wide choice including Bangladeshi dishes. it’s friendly and clean, with quick, attentive service,and not expensive. I’ve never had a disappointing meal there.You can easily pop in for a quick light meal, or something much more grand. No need to stand on ceremony. The staff, led by Abdul the very genial boss, look after you well on special occasions, like birthdays, too. It also works well for takeaways. A fine place, part of the community in the centre of Paddock Wood, opposite Waitrose and the station.
