Shimla Cottage - Renfrewshire

First time in Shimla Cottage and can't speak highly enough about it, the staff were so friendly and the food was second to none I would highly recommend it and Shafiq is such a friendly host

This has some of the best Indian food in the Glasgow area (which saying something) ….love this place , been a few times very friendly and easy going but the food is the tops…worth a visit out into the boonies to taste some great food !

Visited on a Wednesday night and it wasn't busy which we like. It also meant we got great personalised service from the owners (Father Son . I had the parsee chicken (so fresh and just that hint of coriander !! and my partner had the prawn chasni both were very good indeed. Naan and paratha were excellent and the rice was the best I've had in a long time. As many folks say it is rather on the pricey side but the quality is great and the menu is interesting and not just your usual fare. It looks like they do an early evening set menu on certain days for £13 pp so we'll try that and keep the a la carte for a treat.

We visited here 26th Dec 2023 with friends. Everything started off fine, Staff took the order and the food came. Food was actually nice. Then the bill came. Over charged by at least 10 percent. We asked for a menu to double check. Staff member (seemed to be the person in charge) clearly not happy with this, then told us that it was an 'old menu ' but was not forthcoming with the 'new ' menu. He the ln started ranting about 2 of our group sharing a main course (they did have a starter each) and one of our group having ordered 2 starters instead of a main course. The staff member then told us to pay what was listed in the menu, which we did. If this wasn 't bad enough he then proceeded to try and insult us by taking the notes and leaving any of the pound coins on the table saying 'You need these more than me ' I along with this group regularly eat out on restaurants and have done for a number of years. I have never came across this kind of behaviour from staff in any premises. A real.pitty because we did all agree that we would have returned in the future, obviously not now. Extremely ignorant man!

First visit, because it was recommended, and the service was excellent and informative, the food was excellent, tasty and hot, we will most definitely return soon
