The Shimla Palace - Stafford

First time visiting on a Saturday evening and absolutely loved it. Delicious food, good quality, lots of veggie choices. Tables are in segmented areas of this historic coaching inn which gave it a great ambience. Good service; despite not being in a 'main ' dining area, we were never waiting for or looking for staff, they were very attentive.

This is one of the most friendly restaurants that you could visit. Mo is a very congenial and welcoming host and make everyone feel like a regular. The food is excellent and we can thoroughly recommend The Telapia Shatkora which two if our party had as well as the Chicken Jalfrezi and the Bombay Chicken Tikka. Starters and desserts and good value drinks made for very enjoyable evening. This restaurant is easily accessible from the canal and we have used it three times to date.

Our 2nd time visiting as a couple and was as good as the first. We don't live in the area but we were on our way home up north after being down south and took a 20 mile detour to make a 2nd visit. The staff are the most attentive and welcoming. The food excellent and the draft Cobra perfect. Would definitely recommend and we'll be back again next time we are in the area!!!

We were staying with my parents who live nearby. When making the order, we were told there was a 20-25 minute wait for the take away. Actually it was nearer to a hour. It took 5 minutes to drive home. I served it straight away and sorry to say it was barely warm. Lukewarm at best. Some was actually cold. It’s a shame because the taste was great. Wonder how long our order was left waiting to be brought out?

I return time and time again..This restaurant is simply the best. The flavours of the food are always superb. Faz, Mo and all the team are always friendly and happy to help. Tonight's meal was excellent again. I don't right many reviews but I just wanted to say thank you to Faz and your excellent team. See you again soon. If you're looking for a great curry, then this is the place to come.
