Very disappointed, ordered after it was recommend by neighbours but unfortunately won't be ordering again.
Took over 2 hours to be delivered but as it was a Saturday night its somewhat excusable however we were assured it would take no more than 90min which it exceeded. The worst part was by far the food. I ordered lamb bhuna which was terrible. Water seeped out of the sauce as I plated it up and it tasted so bland I had to add salt to make it edible. The meat was average at best tasted very overcooked and dry as were the chips. The naan was clearly sitting in the bag for a while as the steam

Booked a table for 4. Great reception and very friendly. Staff were all polite and welcoming. Very clean inside with immaculate toilets etc. Nice menu to choose from with plenty on offer. All the starters and main meals were excellent and really tasty.
Cobra beer is on draught and was a fantastic drink. Highly recommended to dine in. A great service will definitely be returning for more.
Thankyou Shimla Palace!!

Lovely food, great customer service, I would recommend. Lovely to go to a place and ask for water and they bring ice and a wedge of lime with it. Clean tables and staff are friendly and work to please.
