5* Review!

“We had been recommended this restaurant on the evening of our first day exploring Newcastle and thought we would give it a go, on arrival, it was very busy with no free table however the waitress was brilliant and managed to fit us in. The food was great, and a helpful waiter who had been working there for 32 years advised us on what to get and it did not disappoint. All-round amazing food and excellent service!”

Thank you for dining with us Poppy!

“Had dinner here last night and we could not fault any aspect of it. The food and service were both spot on. The atmosphere in the restaurant was warm and vibrant, the starters were all delicious, and the pre-starters were particularly stand out. Everything was presented beautifully, great wine, an absolute gem. We will be back.”

Thank you for choosing to dine with us, Sally!

Amazing Indian cuisine with a beautifully warm ambience and a splash of contemporary art situated right on the quayside.

Our “Chicken on the bone” from our Clay Oven section consists of soft, tandoori oven-roasted chicken with spices, yoghurt and ginger root.

This is served alongside freshly made salad and sauce.

Here at Simla, we are honoured to have been awarded the “Travellers' Choice Best of the Best Award”.

This means we are in the top 1% of restaurants based on reviews and ratings across the whole globe!

A massive thank you to all our customers old and new for making this possible.

We cook fresh sea bass in our tandoori oven after it is marinated with a classic selection of spices, This is our "Grilled Masala Fish". We serve this with freshly prepared salad and sauce.

Gary 5* review - “Beautiful people beautiful food, great ambiance has to be the best restaurant in Newcastle. All the dishes have special spices, unlike any other restaurant. Don't miss out on the scallops especially smoked to perfection”

Thank you for dining with us Gary!

Our lamb shank rogan Josh is one of our most popular dishes! We slow cook this in its marrow juice to exaggerate the flavours along with a range of Kashmiri spices.

Take a look at our grilled masala fish! Fresh sea bass, grilled in a selection of spices.

Here at Simla, we have a wide range of drinks, just like our “Simla Sunset”. This Apothecary rose gin is served with Fentimans rose lemonade with rose drops and rose petals.

Hugh - 5* Review!

“Excellent Indian cuisine and superb service. We were almost immediately seated upon arrival on an extremely busy Friday night, having made reservations, and promptly asked if we'd like drinks while looking through the menu.
I ordered Lamb Shank Rogan Josh while my wife got a shrimp curry dish. Both were exceptional. Highly recommend Simla, celebrating their 40th year anniversary that night. Reservations are also highly recommended.”

Thank you for dining with us Hugh!

Here at Simla, we pride ourselves on using the finest quality ingredients throughout the whole of our menu.

Take a look at our trio of chickens, three succulent chicken breasts marinated in a range of spices!

All of the art in our restaurant is handpicked to match the warm ambience, alongside traditional yet modern cuisine.
