Shimla

Shimla sits on the North Street stretch in Forfar, the Angus county town whose modern food trade still circles the cluster of curry houses and chip shops running between the East and West High Street and the rail-side Station Park football ground. The operation runs as both an in-house restaurant and a takeaway, and it is unusual for the area in offering BYOB without a corkage charge on the sit-in side — useful for a town with no real licensed Indian restaurant of comparable size. The kitchen runs the full British-Indian range of authentic and home-style curries through to the tandoori specialities cooked on the clay oven, biryanis, kebabs, and a parallel pizza and burger section to catch the wider takeaway trade. The Just Eat customer base rates it consistently around four out of five across several hundred reviews, with the size of the naan bread and the consistency of the curries being the recurring praise points. The restaurant trades under the Shimla Manzil branding on its own site.
