Simla Restaurant (Boldmere) — Restaurant in Birmingham

25/05/23 As a common restaurant to the Simlas, they did a brilliant job on my mum's birthday, the food is amazing, I understand that we have a lot of orders going on since we reserved a big table for 8, but Dill handled it amazingly, he took good care of us. My great auntie's family enjoyed that.

So let's talk about the food, the food is fabulous, everything is warm and hot, they are 5-star quality, and the curries were steaming, which implies how good the curries were.

Service, everyone was treating my family well, I would love to say a big thank you to all of the staff working so hard behind the scenes. Dill was carrying at least 6 plates at a time, how amazing is that?

The restaurant vibe and mood, wow wow wow, the mood, as always, is spectacular, and the music and lighting are perfect. My great auntie and her fam the way from Hong Kong, which means this will be a very memorable moment for them. They all enjoyed it. They love the decoration, vibes, and everything, when you walk in, you'll see a big piece of "water bubble decoration" that is so therapeutic. Haha

The price range is normal, which is what you would expect if you are going to an Indian restaurant. But with a brilliant service.

They handled the birthday well, we bought the cake by ourselves and they let us store it in their fridge, so if you want to hold a birthday party here, this is it, this is the place!!

Again I would love to say a big thank you to all of the staff who has been working so ha!!

24/06/23 Same restaurant, same lovely atmosphere! (something's never changed) It is an amazing experience, Dill recommended I try a dish with salmon, as a pescatarian, I am oddly happy to try it. The Salmon taste phenomenal, it is incredible. I can't even use my words to describe that salmon, it's soft on the inside, perfectly cooked, flavored in its way. Comes with some delicious side dishes. The pillow rice is perfect, warm temperature, fresh, and nicely cooked. It is my 5th time coming to Simla now and I just can't resist it. They have their cooking style and you can taste the dish from them. Must try it!! (Just to mention you can customize your dish style, side dish, etc) Thank you Simla for being so nice...

4 of us Arrived to the store in the evening, was very quiet as there was 1 other table, was sat down by a gentleman who gave us the option to sit where we wanted, this gave me hope that it was a good visit, as this was our first time coming to this store on recommendation. The gentleman didn’t ask us if we had any allergies which is a major thing working for food and hygiene. After ordering our poppadoms and starters the dips that came out were tiny. The starter portions lacked and my friend ordered a drink which came in a small glass even though we asked for a large. Food wait wasn’t that long however when mains came out the food was disappointing. It was bland and lacked flavour. The chicken was tough and the lamb was chewy, I didn’t say anything because I was starving. We then was watched 24/7 by one of the waiters making us all feel uncomfortable, the gentleman who sat us was stood at the bar eating and watching videos on his phone that was quite loud, during the meal I went to go to the bathroom and saw through the door the ‘chef’ sat on the floor on the phone taking calls, and when the bathroom door opened it was one of the waiting staff who blew smoke out as he was leaving, so there are members of staff Vaping in the toilets. The bathroom floor was very wet as well. The drinks were quite flat but somewhat enjoyable. Overall not as good as other places around the area. I don’t think I will be coming back as the price per person is averaging about 30£ each. Just wish the food was a bit better as I had high expectations for this restaurant. The staff were very attentive I’ll give them that and food wait wasn’t long,...

Have been here a few time and always had a good experience. However my last visit was far from good. The service was poor, rude and rushed. After receiving our poppadoms, we was asked every 2mins if we was ready to order starters, I understand they like to bring out your next meal as you finish so your not kept waiting but this felt very pushy. Our starters came out before we had all finished our poppadoms and they started taking plates my friend said "sorry I haven't finished" as the man lifted the plate, he then continued to take the plate with the poppadoms and walked away. Again asked every 2mins to order our mains feeling rushed again to hurry up and leave (it wasn't busy and was empty tables) My vegetarian friend ordered a main and asked for "NO CHICKEN" the waiter repeated the order making sure she did not want chicken ans was told she was vegetarian, her food then came out with chicken! After being asked if she would like to "pick it out or have another one made" they then apologised and can't out a few mins later with her order chicken free! I am never one to complain but the service...
