The food was very good and inexpensive. The Special Mixed Kebob was a pizza which I wasn't expecting, and I'm used to Curry Pakora being in a white yogurt sauce, but still very good.

Overview
Shimla is a small evening takeaway on King Street in Rutherglen, not a sit-down curry house. The board mixes north Indian classics with chip-shop and pizza-shop territory: pakora, tandoori and curry-and-rice set meals sit alongside donner kebabs, hoggie wraps, burgers, calzones and Indian-style curried pizzas. House pushes include chicken and mixed pakora, sweet chilli chicken pizza, tarka daal, chicken tikka korma, and combo kebab boxes. Set meals on the Scoffable menu run roughly £18–£20 for curry-and-nan combos aimed at one or two people. Uber Eats lists evening hours from 16:00 (until about 22:40 Sun–Thu, later Fri–Sat). Order by phone on 0141 647 3049, via Uber Eats, or through the Scoffable / shimlarutherglen ordering links. Several diners say collection is cash only, so bring notes if you are picking up in person — card payment applies on the delivery apps. Rutherglen Central and Rutherglen stations are a short walk from King Street.
Reviews
Been using this restaurant for many years. The aesthetic of the shop leads a lot to be desired but the food is excellent the staff and delivery drivers are tip top. I really love a vindaloo and I really struggle to find anywhere but the shimla that make sn a brilliant vindaloo. I generally get a meal for one it's really good value....I hope you like it as much as I do.. bon appetite. Lol.🥂🐱
Read on Google MapsJust had the chicken donner hoggie and wow it was more a chicken tikka hoggie it was amazing got a mixed pakora and that was excellent. Had a few orders from here and they have all been good but this one tonight was excellent
Read on Google MapsHighly recommend 👍👍for any casual meal in Rutherglen. It's looking like a small shop (Takeaway only) but having a lot of varieties in it. The specific dishes I liked here are chicken pakora, combo donner & chicken kebab, spicy chicken pizza🍕 ( you can feel the fresh dough base) & special curry with rice🍲. Its taste & quality never disappoint us😋😋. The staff 👨🍳were attentive and welcoming, and their pizza deals & other combo's prices were very reasonable. They will accept 💷 cash only, so be prepared before ordering any dishes. Overall, I am giving 4.8 out of 5 stars for their consistent taste & quality in the Rutherglen area🏴
