Shimla Indian Cuisine is a sit in restaurant and takeaway at 361 Woodstock Road in Belfast. It focuses on traditional Indian cooking in a relaxed dining room, with collection and delivery available alongside the option to settle in for a full meal.
Starters include tikka, pakora and onion bhaji, while tandoori dishes are cooked to order in the clay oven. That dry heat brings char and roasted spice to marinated meat before the menu moves into sauced dishes with very different levels of richness and warmth.
The curry selection covers korma, masala, makhani, balti, rogan josh, bhuna, karahi, jalfrezi and hotter styles. Biryani, vegetable sides, rice and breads provide the structure for a balanced shared order, with enough variety to combine mild, creamy dishes and more assertive spice.
Shimla operates a bring your own wine policy for guests eating in, keeping the emphasis on the food while allowing diners to choose their own accompaniment. Meal deals, children's choices and takeaway service make it practical for families as well as groups sharing several dishes at the restaurant.
Address: 361 Woodstock Road, Belfast BT6 8PU, Northern Ireland
