Simla Tandoori

One of Aberkenfig's best-loved Indian kitchens, Simla (also known as Simla Tandoori) has spent more than two decades building a reputation for proper, carefully spiced cooking. It sits top of its handful of local rivals on Tripadvisor and is rated 4.3/5 from over 300 diner reviews, with fans returning for tender, slow-cooked meat, fresh aromatic spicing and notably generous portions. A classic Chicken Tikka Masala and the tandoori grills are perennial favourites here.

Whether you are eating in or carrying out across the Bridgend valleys, the menu spans the full North Indian range, from mild, creamy kormas to punchy madras and fierce vindaloo, alongside a genuinely useful selection of vegetarian dishes. Service gets the occasional grumble, but the food itself draws consistent praise and keeps the place busy. For anyone in this stretch of the Ogmore and Llynfi valleys after a dependable, long-established curry house, Simla remains an easy and well-earned recommendation.
