About Shimla Cottage: Indian Cuisine in the Heart of Lanarkshire
Our Story
Shimla Cottage has been serving the Coatbridge community a true taste of India for years, building a reputation as one of the most-loved Indian restaurants in Lanarkshire. We’re a short drive from Glasgow city centre and minutes from Airdrie, Bellshill and Motherwell, easy to reach whether you’re stopping in for dinner or collecting a takeaway on the way home.
Every dish on our menu is cooked to order using spices and herbs sourced from across India, from the smoky kick of a Punjabi-style tandoori to the rich, creamy comfort of a classic Chasni or Korma. Our chefs each bring years of experience, and that shows up on the plate: balanced, properly spiced food without shortcuts.
Whether you’re here for a celebration, a family meal, a quiet date night, or a quick midweek curry to take away, you’ll get the same thing every time: honest food, warm service, fair prices.
