No hassle to speed customers through, if you and your partner want to sit and enjoy the evening, you can. Always a friendly greeting upon arrival and a handshake and thank you upon leaving.

My hubby and I went here to celebrate 10 years together. I liked it and he didn't. The service is…read morevery attentive. There is parking. One of the nice touches (I thought) was the large TV screen showing a loop of Bollywood music videos. The decor is bright, clean and modern. The food is top-end but basic Indian, not Michelin starred or anything, but a bit more fresh and elegantly presented than your corner curry shop. I think it would mainly appeal to the sophisticated 30-something who wants an elegant night out and doesn't mind if the price is a little high.

We are regular visitors to Simla Restaurant which is on Coventry Road in Hinckley. We use the…read morerestaurant for both sit in meals and take away. The building itself is a lovely old house and is very warm and welcoming. On arrival you are taken into a small bar area with plush sofas. The staff who are all very well dressed are helpful and will take care of you during your visit. My favourite place to sit in the restaurant is in the main dining room where all the seats are comfortable, high back chairs. They have a relatively new conservatory too which is also very plesant to sit in. The choice of food is very good and not too overpriced. I can recommend the Chicken Tikka Chaat for starter and the North Indian Garlic Chilli Chicken if you like your curry with a kick! As with all good take aways beware of ordering during busy weekend times. The wait can be up to an hour but we have been known to wait for over 2, but once the food arrives you will see that the wait was worth it. Good value for money, good night out in a nice setting.

After a few quiet drinks in the Wharf Inn next door, we ventured into Simla around 8.30. We were…read moreshown into a plush bar area, where people were waiting to be seated or for the arrival of their takeaway order. Thankfully we had booked, so we were shown straight to our table, the restaurant was absolutely packed, which made for a great atmosphere; it became less busy as the night progressed. Tables of a variety of sizes to suit all sizes of party, Simla clearly is a popular restaurant. A good range of drinks, but when you have Kingfisher and Cobra on draught, there was no need to look any further. The menu was one of the most comprehensive I have ever seen, there must have been approaching 40 different starters! After a short delay, we started the meal with an obligatory poppadoms and a pickle tray, a good start, the mango chutney and the riata were particularly good. Starter wise, I went for the Shimla kebab, wonderfully tasty, my friends had the Teful Mix and the Mussels, all equally impressive. After perusing the many pages of mains and sides orders, all but one of us plumped for the Simla Special Balti, a generous dish consisting of lamb, king prawns and chicken in a Balti sauce, the spiciness of which you can set yourself. Going for medium strength, it was just about right; the accompanying sides to share of Keema and Pilau rice, were a good choice. However, the chilli and cheese naan wasn't the right choice for me, the fresh naan with the cheese, a good choice, the green chilli, not so much, as it overwhelmed the flavour of the Balti. Overall though, a good meal, with enough food to feed many more than the four of us. Staff were friendly, if a little rushed off their feet, courtesy of the popularity of the restaurant. Price wise, very competitive; we will definitely return.

Saturday evening you would expect an indian restaurant to be busy, but it was hardly the case with…read moreonly a dozen customers. Our takeaway meal was disappointing, the korma was even more bland than you would want it to be and had very little meat, the dall had no flavour and was watery. The saag aloo was nice, chapatis and onion bhajis were ok. We had a lot of salad with our starters. Price-wise, we paid £24 for three starters, two main dishes, one side dish , boiled rice, four chapatis. You decide by comparison with your local, we thought it was expensive considering the quality of the food.

The restaurant could look a lot nicer but is fine with nice comfy leather seats and everywhere seemed very clean. Food not too expensive about £90 for 6 (not including drinks). The service was very good. The food looked nice and wasn't horrible but had no taste at all, really bland no matter what you ordered. Wouldn't bother going again. Also as mentioned on my quick tip it's on the first floor so no good if you can't easily walk up a full set of stairs.
