They seem to be trying hard but there is something lacking.

The service was ok and the restaurant is nice enough but the food lets the place down. Outside the fact that I eat a lot of Indian food, I would not say I am an expert. But the dishes we had just lacked flavour.

Might be best to head elsewhere.

I had organised dinner for my 25 staff members and received one of the best service and taste at Simla.
Everything was well organised and well planned.
All the Staff members are so nice and friendly.

Personally myself and all my staff like the food and service.

It been worse experienced in my life. I never had such tasteless food. It was too salty & poor customer services I ever seen. Sometimes we can ignore the services but we can’t compromise with taste of food. It was total waste of money. We are not recommending anybody.

Got takeaway Vindaloo, little on the pricey side, but really good. Good depth of flavour.

Would go again if they did a special from mon-wed like my local curry place.

Simla Mirch is definitely my favourite Indian restaurant. My girlfriend and I eat there religiously.

The curries are beautifully spicy when you want them to be and also still full of flavour if you’re going for the mild option. Naan bread is always cooked well, but would recommend asking for it to be served whole rather than cut into individual pieces.

I have eaten at all the Indian restaurants in Mt. Eden and Simla Mirch has by far the tastiest curries.

Worse Restaurant, disrespectful staff they surely don’t want repeat business. Food was stone cold and horrible. We ordered Chicken, Lamb, Prawn curries and all tasted the same over salted. Tandoori chicken was dry and hard nearly lost my tooth……

Keep away from his restaurant for you’ll be putting money down the drain and when you complain they will ask you to leave saying that you are not welcome back…..

If I could I would give it minus stars….

Our experience at Simla Indian Cafe, Mt. Eden

Tables are very cold, the entire dinning area is expected be heated by a small white colour fan heater.

Food served is cold and salty.

Payment time. Barter Card – NO. Reason ownership has changed. ONLY 2 WEEKS AGO. Why havent you put any signage stating this – response we dont have to if you are regular customer you should know.

So here I am doing the job for them. Management has changed so has the food (for worse) and customer service has obtained a large attitude.

Comment – I am so disappointed with over all experience may not come again in-spite being regular. Response – Do not come again, we do not need more customers.

Pretty standard Indian cuisine, large portions. The Chicken wing appetisers are tough and fatty, my partner found a stone in his rice. The wait staff were extremely disinterested, didn’t show us to our table (just pointed to it) and had to come back three times to confirm our order. They seemed more interesting in their loud phone conversation that went on for our entire meal.
The food is ok, but far from amazing. There are other Indian restaurants in the area, Simla need to step up their game.

Simla rocks my Friday night. My boyfriend and I relish the opportunity to have the best Indian in Auckland and eat there religiously. My flatmates also attend regularly (one of which says it is exactly like his Indian mothers home cooking.)

By far the best Indian, fresh, great cuts of meat (which are often fatty at other restaurants).

By Far the best! 5 stars.

The lamb jalfrezi is spectacular and the tandoori chicken is my favorite entree. EAT HERE! There are limited tables which is great for a quiet meal out and if you want to take away the meal is around $3 cheaper.

My husband and I have dined at the Simla Indian Cafe twice this week, the food was good, the service quick and friendly.
The first time we were charged $3 corkage. The second time we were charged $6 corkage. I was assured that there must have been a mistake the first time and that it is $3 per person corkage. This is expensive for a small restaurant which only had a few tables occupied on both occasions. We won’t be going there again.

The previous review has obviously written by the owners. We were there on the weekend, will never be going back. Absolutely the worst Indian meal in a long time. In-fact the cheap pricing should have told me something about the quality of the food.
