Great takeaways too. Very efficient if you order over the phone or just pop in, relax and have a drink while you wait.

Superb, helpful and delicious!
We were cold, wet and hungry after an epic hike and telephoned the Simla to ask if they could still feed us at 2150 on a bleak Wednesday night, they said they'd wait for us and we arrived just before ten. They were friendly and welcoming and the food was superb.
Thank you and well done!

Kerry Whyte, Sept 2021
Our 1st Indian takeaway since we moved to the area, just before last year's 1st lockdown and most definitely worth the wait. The food was gorgeous. Service really friendly. Will definitely return for both takeaways and dine in, when possible. B Stoker, April 2021 Very smart restaurant and we thoroughly enjoyed our food Kristina Prottey, Feb 2021 If there was a 6 I’d give it to them! Fabulous delivery made by George himself. Fabulous meal for two for my birthday. All as good as an eat in meal. His chef and family go the extra mile. Really good food Julie R, Jan 2021 Brilliant as ever Lee Colemere, Jan 2021 Fantastic food George still doing a brilliant job Mel Williams, Jan 2021 Recommend This has become our favourite restaurant. Food is amazing- staff are friendly and always welcoming. Track and trace and sanitation station in place. Wishing the Simla the very best for 2021. Brian, Dec 2020 Great! The night of Christmas Eve and I have ordered an Indian, not lots of food, but enough for one. I also chose delivery! The food arrived within 15 minutes, lovely and hot and all tastes delicious! I also want to praise the delivery drivers tonight. I didn’t hear the door knock so they rang me and were very polite, left the food outside the house and waited in the car until I got the food! All yummy too! Thankyou ! Jade I, Dec 2020 Fantastic Food The food was amazing, cooked perfectly and tasted amazing. Staff were brilliant, friendly and very helpful. I would definitely recommend to everyone that they come here. Nick Gerrard, Dec 2020 Amazing. The food was amazing. The staff were amazing. Friendly, family orientated and excellent service. Not rushed but timely service. Wish we lived closer so we could come more often. K&K Telford, Oct 2020 This time we had a take away but eating in or out the food & service is always excellent. Helen Parish, Oct 2020 Excellent delivery service I was staying at the Premier In and ordered a take away two nights running. Only 20 mins from to delivery, which I think is pretty fantastic. Pay the driver on delivery. The food was hot , tasty especially the peshwari nan and the tarka dahl. David S, Oct 2020 Well worth a visit. Had an exceptional meal here that hit all the spots when we stayed at the Travel Lodge. Great food at very reasonable prices and the service was terrific. As part of my work I travel a lot and also travel a lot for pleasure with the consequence that we eat out a lot. Am a big curry fan and this was one of the best I have sampled anywhere. An extensive menu and food that was well cooked during quality ingredients. Whilst the food was good the service was excellent and the owner, George, runs a great team. Would recommend and will visit again when we return to Oswestry. Steve G, Sept 2020 Amazing food , lovely staff We visited Simla while on holiday in Oswestry , it came recommended by a friend. We had a lovely meal, really good quality food and plenty of choice. The staff knew their stuff & were friendly & funny. A fantastic experience & they went the extra mile for me as they went and bought decaf coffee!!

The best Indian in Oswestry Charlie Humphrys, Aug 2020 Fantastic food, big portions, great value and great service. The staff here are friendly and the restaurant was busy with people that seemed to be local/regulars which is usually a pretty good sign. We stayed in the area 3 nights and dined here on two nights. We parked easily in the parking bays on the road, maybe 100 yards away from the restaurant. Would definitely recommend a visit.

Isobel Stone, August 2020 Very tasty meal, friendly service and great atmosphere Dave Lovelace, August 2020 I went here on Saturday with 8 other gents, we were looked after excellently. The owner, his wife and all the staff are superb and very accommodating. I had the chicken tikka pathia (ask for it madras hot ) with keema rice and keema naan, it was all delicious and the 8 guys with me were all making appreciative noises as they woofed it down. There’s a reason the Simla has been in Oswestry so long, I’d recommend trying it out to see why! Richard Harding-Brooks, August 2020 Great food & service, George & his staff have always been consistent. Brilliant Carl Penrose, July 2020
Excellent food and service. I'd nearly given up on eating out at Indian restaurants after so many bad experiences. This place is a gem. The food was awesome. Packed with flavours, well presented and delicious. The staff were super friendly and attentive. 5 stars all round. Thank you Fabulous. Such a friendly welcome, excellent service and such delicious food. Cant praise it enough. Looking forward to our next visit We have just been to the restaurant for the first time in about 6:7 years due to illness. I was pleased to be able to get out instead of having take away meals. While they were nice it was much nicer to attend the restaurant. A very warm welcome was experienced and it was especially nice to see George. Our meal was lovely couldn’t fault it. The service was great and attentive! On tonight’s experience I would recommend it "Very efficient, friendly service. Excellent dishes.

"Excellent Food, excellent service, great value! Best Indian restaurant around by far" "Nice food for a Indian dinner for your Family and Friends. Friendly staff and warm welcome. The Staff talk to you which is nice to make a conversion with you. They do takeaways as well. Warm in the Winter and Cool in the Summer. If you not a Curry person you can have other English foods as well. When it is a Birthday Party you get a Birthday Cake for free off the Staff and it got Candles. Also good for Kids. It serves Desert at the end and I think it is a three course meal. They have wine and other things and nice dining tables. I would certainly go for the night with Family, Friends or your self"

Thoroughly recommend The Simla for a great night out. Food is delicious, people are warm and friendly. Look forward to visiting again soon." "Fantastic Food. We decided at the last minute to have a takeaway meal. On arrival at the restuarant we were greeted in a very friendly and welcoming way and were given helpful advice about the amount to order whilst enjoying a cold beer. The food arrived promptly and was excellent. We have eaten here many times and had numerous takeaways and have never been disappointed by the food or the service. Highly recommended." "Another amazing meal. Still one of my favourite Indian restaurants, another lovely meal in December. Great welcome from George and the gang. Tasty food, good wine and attentive service. Love it! Highly recommended. Whenever we visit Oswestry, we will definitely be popping in again. Until next time.."
"We always eat here! Lovely food and great atmosphere! Nothing too much trouble for the staff and george and julie great hosts
"I am a resident of Oswestry. We have a bi annual reunion in town of ex soldiers, who started their careers here; in the 60s and early 70s. This year it was requested, at short notice, that a 'curry evening' would be nice on one of the evenings. At relatively short notice, I booked in for 25 people. Due to numbers, the banquet type meal was recommended to us. As the night approached, the numbers increased. Nonetheless with good grace, a smile and perfect professionalism, the proprietor and staff dealt with it. The evening was fantastic and was mentioned as a highlight of our reunion. Terrific food, terrific price, terrific service and staff. Could not fault it in any way. It will become a permanent feature in our future reunions. "We took a group of service users here for a meal and we couldn't have been better looked after, George, the owner, was so friendly and the perfect host. The food was gorgeous, great menu and lovely staff. The service was a bit slow but the restaurant was very busy so it is to be expected I guess. "Having never been to Simla before, I joined a group from work. Chose the 'dry' chicken tikka, marinated in spices and cooked in a tandoori oven. A less dry tikka I have never tasted. The spices were gorgeous and the meat was tender and moist. Gorgeous. I would definitely recommend the quality to anyone and will certainly return. "Me & my Mum visited this restaurant after finding it on TripAdvisor. My sister had just been transferred to the local hospital so we had no idea where anything was and just trusted the reviews for this place. So glad we did! The food was absolutely gorgeous and I am used to my mothers home cooked food so I know a good curry. Definitely a place to visit & will probably return before we leave Oswestry The food itself was delicious, and a great selection to choose from. |
| "Have tried numerous Indians since moving to Shropshire 6 months ago and this is so far the best. Be sure to book a table on Friday or Saturday as very busy. We had poppadoms with the dips but had to ask for the yogurt dip as didn't come as standard, but this was not a problem. Both main courses were very tasty and portion sizes were good. This is the best so far because there was actually some spice in the food unlike other Indians. The service was good, staff very friendly and we never felt rushed at all. They obviously remember their customers as there was lots of rapport with other customers. Would recommend and we will return". gildawes, Shrewsbury July 2014 |
"We are hard of hearing- always go there every two months because the poppodums were hot & fresh for starter. We had lovely curry. I had chicken bhuna with saag paneer or fried orka. My friends had chicken with mango and kori chicken were delicious. The staff were very friendly & deaf aware because they do understand what we want when we point the menu & they recommend which the best curry is and sundries aswell :) The meals are good value and free jug of water because any drinks doesnt agree go with curry". |
"I was brought up in Oswestry and have been eating here since it opened. Now whenever I visit family and friends in Oswestry it is almost a tradition to eat here. The atmosphere is great and you are always made to feel welcome". |
"Having arrived 20 minutes late because of the rubbish taxi service offered in Oswestry (Geoffs Taxis). The staff were accommodating, friendly and welcoming. After a short drink by the bar we were shown to freshly laid table for the four of us. We were given some complimentary popadoms and chutney for my friends birthday and we ordered our meals. Even though restaurant was at full capacity, with an extra table squeezed in for one couple, our service and food was excellent! The staff were engaging and the different tastes of the dishes we ordered were great. Really tasty. Overall a big thumbs up to the staff and food at the Simla". |
"19 of us enjoyed a great meal here on Friday night. The food was lovely, the staff were attentive and the evening was enjoyed by all. Sadly, we were let down by our taxi company and the staff at the restaurant were kind enough to give us a lift back to our hotel - a generous gesture that was really appreciated. Thank you for such a great evening". |
