I had a very good experience at this restaurant, the head waiter advised us on our dishes based on our preferences and hit it spot on, both the meat and vegetarian were great. Couldn’t recommend this restaurant anymore. The best curry I’ve had!

Simla does the most amazing Palak Paneer that I've ever had. Honestly, my favourite Indian dish! The service is amazing - one of the waiters remembered my partners name the whole night and all of the staff were so pleasant. The place itself is beautiful, too. I couldn't recommend it more!

The best restaurant we ate at in Newcastle! We showed up without a booking but the staff asked us to come back and found us a table on a busy Friday night. The food is incredible, so many options (meat, fish and vegetarian) and the atmosphere is great. Simla is the perfect spot for a romantic date or fun evening with friends. Abdul took amazing care of us - he was the perfect host and an absolute credit to the team. We will be back! (We visited in February 2024)

While the prices might be a tad high for students, the quality of the food at this restaurant more than makes up for it. Each dish we tried was superb, bursting with flavor and presented beautifully. The service, too, deserves a mention – especially Abdun, whose exceptional care and hospitality significantly enhanced our dining experience. It’s rare to find such dedication and warmth. If you’re looking for delicious cuisine and outstanding service, this place is worth the splurge!

Very good Indian food and therefore packed on a Friday evening. We had three different dishes of chicken, lamb and king prawns, so we could share and try the different flavours. All were very good, but special praise for the Chicken Tikka Masala, as one of the best ever eaten anywhere.

The food is always amazing here, superb quality and you always know it'll be a fantastic dining experience reminiscent of my recent six month cycle tour in India. Thank you especially to Abdul who was really lovely. I came here with my work friends to celebrate a birthday and I am so pleased we chose Simla. we will definitely be back hopefully soon!!

I have had Simla on my list to visit for sometime but eventually made the visit. We had the Lamb Shank Kashmiri Rogan Josh, which was delicious and melt in the mouth and the chicken Chettinad with a side of the crispy Bhindi dopiaza, veg pulou rice and Peshwari naan. The food was of excellent quality and the service was impeccable. We were served by Abdul who made our experience for New Years Day very memorable. They had made a big effort with the decoration which made the evening even more enjoyable. Thank you!

Our NYE 2023 was made more special when we dined in here. The lamb chops, lamb shank, chicken tandoori and lamb kebab are 💯. The staff made sure we are comfortable.

Amazing place me and my girlfriend recently stumbled across on our way home from a disappointing visit to another local restaurant. Tiny place but it looks bigger thanks to all the mirrors. Very smart and clean looking. Service was exemplary and very friendly, not pushy at all. I had the scallops to start and the chicken chettinad. Very hot but tasted amazing. My girlfriend had the gunpowder prawns and the chicken madras. The bill was roughly what we expected considering what we had to eat and drink. Highly recommended.
