Really Excellent. Shimla Spice is one of my favorite restaurants I absolutely love it and can't wait to go again for my 18th birthday meal! Great atmosphere, great staff and ofc great food! Oh and I would defiantly suggest you order a cheese naan with your meal.
EAT IN STYLE. This restaurant is extra special, When you dine here it totally makes you feel like as if the restauarnat teams treats you as if they serving a celebrity.
Do give a TRY!!!!
I love Shimla Spice, the food is always delicious and good value for money, the restaurant is really nice, Keighley is my favourite, we've been going for years ! The Shimla sizzler starter for two is simply gorgeous! Enjoy !
VERY POPULAR VENUE. All we got to say is, that the below reviewer was very luck to get a table in 20 mins, as ours yesterday friday, we waited 1 hour and 10 mins. At 8:00 we try to get into the restaurant, and it was impossible to evan get near, as there were people queing inside the restaurant, entrance and outside. There was 1 couple that said that they had travelled from burnley and would definatly wait for a table. A young manger came outside and took names of people down and asked if the tables were booked or not. We were told that the table would be ready in an hour about 9 and we could go next door to the pub for drinks and return.
When retrning at 9, the place was still packed with punterz queing up. We waited 10 mins and then were swiftly shown our table. The starters arrived in 20 mins and the mains 30 mins after that. This restaurant seems to be catering for parties and familes very well. The food and atmosphere is just spot on. When we left at 11:00 the restaurant was still full and i think there were a party of 15 people waiting for a table. We will be definalty returning soon.
A very good restaurant serving the best in Asian cuisine, with very good service and a buzzzzing atmosphere.
Whilst on tour for the first time in the area, we were directed here by urbanspoon... The food was top notch, the service was friendly and attentive and there is secure parking next door. I highly recommend the chicken desi karahi and the naan bread served upright!
"Dine Like A Celebrity". As being a food critic for several newspaper over the last 25 years, and coming from Sheffield, we had heard from a friend who works in a curry guide team, that we had to sample this curry house.
We booked a table early today afternoon, as we had read that the venue was very popular and it would be impossible to get a table if we did'nt book.
Arriving about 6:45, there were a total of 57 people already seated(very busy early on taking the weather into considerration: very heavy snow) and there was about 7 people waiting for takeaways, we also reconised that there were about 5 people deliving food and were constantly take 4/5 bags with them.This Restaurant was like a magnet(dragging people through the door)
Well 1st impression: a very simple decorated restaurant,with a lively mix crowd of famlies and couples.
Food: (Starters)We ordered a mix of 4 diffrent startes, which were phenomenally cooked, not overcooked or not unde cooked just brillaint.
(Main Course) a 4 dishes we had, all had individual tastes, well selected ingrediant and herbs and spices
(Sundries) lemon rice: brilliant Galic nan: too big for me(got a bit cold) Tandoori Roti(nice and crispy)
Service: Was splendid, the young Manger Faisal made sure that everything was perfect for us. He made such we got everything and that we was well settled in and our waiter called Arif made sure that we had enough of everything, water, sauces and food. The sevice here is like a michlin starred restaurant.
Atmosphere: not too noisy, seemed to have a nice ambiance and a livly feeling. As being a food critic for over 25 years and have dined a some of the top restaurant around the country, I have experianced that Shimla Spice is a very good restaurant serving brilliant food with definatley a michlin starred service. The only downfall that me and my friend found were that the restaurant needs more windows and the windows to be alot lower, so people can see how busy the place is, because you can not see most of the restaurant from outdside.
It still makes me wonder, that for a small 80 cover resaurant how does it cope with that many deliveries,takeaways and a restaurant that got full nearly about 5 times whilst we were there If (bring your own alchol) restaurant were allowed to get nominated for a michlin star, this restaurant would definatley be in there.
Shimla Spice is based on 14 South Street, Keighley, West Yorkshire telephone: 01535 602040 and menus and more information about the restaurant can be found on www.shimlaspice.co.uk
Best restaurant in keighley. Living near the leeds and braford airport the e restaurant most people talk about is the Mumtaz and Akbars of Bradford(both good restaurants but food too greasy) and Shimla Spice shipley(a very busy place with alot of asians dining there). As a regular customer at the shipley shimla we were told by the manger to try the shimla in keighley so we did by recomendation. Arriving on a mild wheathererd friday as the second table about 6:00. The restaurant was slowly filling up by 6:45 and by 7:15 it was full with punterz queing and having drinks in the bar area(evan though is a byo alchol restaurant) WOW what atmosphere lively and raving. everything spot on from the popdom to the last sip of tea.The shimla in keighley is definaty 1 of the best in yorkshire and neckm to neck with the shimla in shipley.
JUST TRY IT ONCE

A Outstanding Restaurant. After reading the below reviews and hearing about how popular the Shimla Spice Restaurant is, It would be impossible if we didn't give it a try.
So on friday evening without booking a table me and some girlfriends arrived at Shimla Spice about 8:00 and just finding the restaurant to be full. The table wait was about 15 mins, so we decided to have a drink in the reception. Within them 30 mins of waiting it was amazing to see how many customers were leaving and coming in for a meal and the people queing for a takeaway was stunning, there was more buzz than a bollywood opening night. After being seated on a wonderful table, our order was taken. The food and the service was just 1st class and the atmosphere just outstanding.
We will be coming back for another good curry next week, and personally i would recommend people to try this restaurant. IT IS A MUST TRY PLACE!!!!
Great food, great prices, really friendly staff members
A uniqe experiance. This restaurant is far the best restaurant in Keighley, and it holds the title,"Best restaurant in keighley award", which was awarded by the Keighley News. The Shimla Spice seems to be competing in a league of its own, with no tough competition to worry about. We visited last night as a small party of 6, the restaurant was very busy as usual, but regardless how bust they are, the food timing is good, service excerrlant and atmosphere always buzzing evan during the weeks. I can recommend this restaurant to anyone lokking for a good curry with a good service to go with it. Booking should be made as there could be a wait of 20-30 mins during the week and waiting times upto 1-2 hours on the weekend. The mangement advise customers to always book.
We visitet the Shimla spice restaurant as a party the atmosphere was electric, the restaurant has a cool vibe and décor but in a likable way, not irritating with low background Arabic music, we order a some random dishes, and every dish was very well executed and prepared. Flavours were just right and well balanced, they do a excellent pan Asian menu that works very well with attention to detail and presentation that was simple and not fussy. We loved the quirky Asian style Shimla spice sizzler mix, the restaurant wasn't too crowded on a Thursday evening and service was excellent as well as the timing of the dishes. Great job guys keep it up.
Delicious tasty food with great atmosphere and friendly attentive staff. Recent upgrade of décor tasteful and relaxing. A good night out and easy on the wallet!
The service was quick, I opted for a fish curry, it was very tasty and done perfectly. Car park at the rear of the restaurant. An extensive range of Non alcoholic drinks available. The only criticism I could call was that the staff were dressed appropriately but the manager was casually dressed.
Very good food and fabulous staff.
Loads of choices and very good vegetarian options too.
Many different styles and wonderful side dishes too. And can't forget the amazing family sized naan breads too! Always a delight to visit here. Can see why they've won many awards. An asset to Keighley town
Always a good place for wide nice selection of curry dishes. Venue is a bit dated but kinda adds to its charm. Food is always really nice.
Absolutely beautiful authentic food! Top restaurant quality... The atmosphere is very good as its usually very busy so gives off a good vibe to enjoy a meal with friends! The service I can't fault 10/10 very attentive staff 👌
My first time but not my last. I trusted the waiter to recommend a dish for me. A lovely desi meat dish which was fantastic. Chapattis served in a tea towel to keep warm. Very happy!
Ate here with two friends and the food was exceptional… one of the best curry’s I’ve ever had. Our service from Keighley was so good, he was so helpful and attentive. Would love to come back!!
Had the Desi Chicken Kahrai and it was delicious. I'm glad I chose medium heat as it was just the right spice for me. Large portions so I left full. The mushroom rice was very nice. Lovely atmosphere, music, lights and mirrors. Staff were kind, friendly and attentive if a little quiet (I'm a bit deaf).
We called for a curry on the way home from a long walk in the Dales. The service was great, the food arrived quickly & was delicious & authentic. Polite friendly staff & good value for money. We will definitely be back! Remember to BYO beers 🍻
Lovely restaurant, delicious food & fantastic staff who always go the extra mile.
We get Shimlas delivery but when at the restaurant I ask for a recommendation & it’s always amazing.
Best curry in the area 😍
The best Indian food I ever had. So tasty. Quick service in 15 minutes they bring the food.
