Shimla - Highland

During our short stay in Scotland, my partner and I wanted to have a curry for his birthday. We chose this local restaurant and were thoroughly impressed by the excellent service. I ordered the sag aloo and it was the best I have ever tasted. The portions were huge, so I couldn't finish it all and they kindly packed it up for me to enjoy tomorrow night.

The food at this restaurant was fantastic. I ordered the chicken tandoori madras and my partner had the lamb tandoori south Indian. Both dishes were very spicy, but incredibly delicious. The staff were also very friendly and welcoming.

Lovely meal on every visit, great service and worth a visit to Beauly. Very busy with takeaways, so it’s popular locally. Pre-book if you want a table during peak times.

Food was very tasty , hot and all fresh produce. Would definately recommend a visit if you are staying in Beauly. Don’t be put off if the restaurant looks quiet inside.

We were staying in Beauly and fancied a curry. We asked a few locals about Shimla and they all said they had never heard a bad word about it, so we went in. When you go to an Indian restaurant for the first time you always wonder how hot their dishes are compared to what you like, but we were very pleased with our meals. Having lived in Birmingham and experienced a lot of different restaurants we can honestly say that Shimla is right up there with the best. It was a Tuesday night in October, there weren't that many people eating in the restaurant but they seemed to be doing a brisk trade in takeaways. We shared a mixed kebab starter which was excellent. My husband then had a lamb rogan josh. I asked the waiter for some guidance as I don't like too much heat. I settled on the chicken Chom Chom Bahar...it was possibly the best dish I have ever eaten. The naan was fantastic (often they go like cardboard as they cool, this one didn't) and the mushroom rice was excellent too. The price was quite reasonable too, we had 2 large glasses of wine, a shared large starter, 2 mains, one rice, one naan and 2 hot drinks. The total was under £30 a head. We found the staff to be attentive and friendly but not pushy. If we ever find ourselves in the area in the future, we will be back!
