Royal Shimla

Absolutely fantastic food and service. 6 of us ate here last night and all of us thoroughly enjoyed all of our food. Waiting staff were brilliant. The food was fresh and so flavoursome. I can highly recommend the lamb chettinad and the Goan fish curry was absolutely amazing. We will definitely be back next time we come to Blackpool

Visited Blackpool for a long weekend in October and stumbled across this absolute gem of a restaurant, located a street behind the main promenade. We decided to go in on the Friday evening and we were not disappointed. The owner and staff were so welcoming, helpful and overall it was a great dining experience. I always think its the little things that in this case it certainly was. The food was one of the best my friends and I have had in a long time and the owner explained everything from what was used to how it was cooked, it was so good we all went back on the Saturday and other friends have also went. Its a must visit in you are in the area. 10/10 from me.

We visited this restaurant because there were takeaway menus in our guest house, we like Indian food, and they did kids meals. My daughter had the Malai Tikka with chips kids meal. It was okay, but the chicken was very dry. She's not a complainer, but was still chewing the last piece as we walked out... However, I had the Paneer Shashlick with Mushroom Dopyaza. It was really good - a really nice mix of flavours, juicy and the right level of heat for me. I would like to have similar meals more often, but since most Indian restaurants don't serve kids meals with chips, I have to have naan with my meal to share with my daughter, and can't go for the dryer dishes.

We were wandering around the back streets of Blackpool looking for a place to eat and we decided to give this place a go, we're seasoned travellers who visit India regularly ( Goa & beyond) so we know great Indian food and we certainly weren't disappointed here, the food was authentic as it could be, it was delicious and plentiful and also reasonably priced, we'll be back next time we visit.

My wife and I visited this restaurant for a late lunch at 4pm. The food is absolutely outstanding and prepared by a Chef who is clearly very talented. Amazing flavours, great presentation and fantastic service, all at a good price too. I lived in southern India for a while and this Chef's authentic food is the real deal. One of the best Indian meals we have ever had. Easily the best Indian retaurant in Blackpool and possibly the UK. Don't waste your time considering other restaurants. Just go here!

On the last night of our stay in Blackpool, finally found a restaurant worth visiting. (We happened to speak to a trespasser who suggested us this restaurant) we thought why not. The restaurant is not on the main road but in one of the lanes, personally I wasn't convinced the restaurant could be this good (because of its location) but, so so glad we visited. We were their last customers and they were so accomodating, i believe the restuarant is a family run business (dad being the head chef), very friendly and respectful people. Ambience was verh soothing and The food was finger lickin good😋😋. We ordered so many different varieties, and not one dish disappointed us, all of them were outstanding. (The only thing put me off were their mocktails (specially the mango one, hope they work on this) but, the food Is definetly worth the visit. 9/10* Looking forward to visit Blackpool soon and visit this restaurant again.
