Shimla offers a variety of delicious Indian dishes with rich flavors and impeccable service. While some customers have experienced issues with incorrect orders and taste inconsistencies, the majority rave about the mouth-watering food, friendly staff, and affordable prices. The restaurant's traditional atmosphere and diverse menu make it a must-visit spot in Kilkenny. Whether you opt for creamy chicken tikka masala or spicy lamb bhuna, Shimla guarantees a satisfying culinary experience. Don't miss out on their flavorful naan bread and tantalizing sauces. For a taste of authentic Indian cuisine in a warm setting, Shimla is the go-to choice.
