This is the best Indian restaurant I've ever been to. The staff are wonderful and know the food inside out. The menu is excellent and the specials are out of this world too. If you've never been you're missing out, big time.

This is an example of how a restaurant should be run. As soon as you arrive you are greeted by friendly staff and shown to your table. You can take your time to browse the menu before ordering. The food arrived very fast and it was the best Indian meal I have experienced. Great food, extremely friendly staff and a nicely laid out, spotless restaurant. Will definitely be back.

Love this place. We (family and friends) have been coming here for many years. Always a warm welcome from Tabi and the Boss. Food is great and special mention for the homemade tablet.

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 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

Best curry around! Bags of flavour, really good meat and really tasty rice. Fantastic, friendly service too.

This was an absolutely outstanding dining experience. The owner waited on us personally. He was very kind and friendly and shared with us a bit of the history of the restaurant, which was started by his grandfather, and passed down to his father and then to him. He asked us about our flavor preferences and then recommended dishes based on the answers we gave. All were absolutely delicious.The atmosphere and ambiance were elegant and the restaurant was very clean.Unfortunately there isn't parking on premesis, but do not give up! There is community parking just a half a block down the street. The short walk is completely worth it.Our only regret is that, as we were visiting from afar, we will not be able to give this place more of our business. But we highly recommend that you do. You will not be sorry!
Excellent curry in Bridge of Weir. Service super friendly. 4 different curries looking and tasting amazing. Efficient timings. Good night out. Thank you

Had a family meal at Shimla Cottage tonight. Both the service and food were first class. Best Indian meal I’ve had in a very long time. So tasty ?

Myself and my wife went to shafiqs restaurant for our 8 year wedding anniversary. we were greeted at the door by shafiq and his son who made us feel very welcome. during our dining at the restaurant we had an absolute lovely starter followed by an excellent main however what made the experience so great was the customer service we expected, both Shafiq and his son we absolute amazing and could not do any more for myself and my wife. this is 1 of the best restaurants I have had the pleasure in dining in for a special occasion and it was truly amazing. would definitely recommend this restaurant to family and friends and we will most certainly be back.Gary & AmandaVegetarian options: Catered for my wife being a vegetarian.
