Best Outdoor Dining in Walsall: Experience Our Heated Balcony Year-Round

Looking for outdoor dining in Walsall that works even in winter? Shimla Peppers offers something truly special – a stunning heated balcony where you can enjoy authentic Punjabi cuisine under the stars, no matter the season.

Since 1978, we’ve been serving Walsall with exceptional Indian food, but it’s our unique alfresco dining space that really sets us apart. Let us show you why our outdoor dining experience has guests calling us “an oasis in Walsall.”

Why Choose Outdoor Dining at Shimla Peppers Walsall?

When you think of outdoor dining in the West Midlands, you probably picture summer evenings only. But at Shimla Peppers, we’ve created something different – a year-round outdoor dining experience that works beautifully in every season.

Our Heated Balcony: A Mediterranean Feel in the Heart of Walsall

Our first-floor balcony isn’t your typical outdoor space. We’ve invested in professional infrared heating that transforms the area into a warm, comfortable haven – even on the chilliest winter nights. Guests consistently tell us it feels like dining on holiday, not in Walsall town centre!

The heated outdoor area features:

  • Multiple infrared heaters positioned throughout the balcony
  • Romantic lighting creating a magical atmosphere after dark
  • Beautiful views overlooking St. Matthew’s Church
  • Fresh flowers and greenery making you feel like you’re dining in a garden
  • Comfortable seating for groups of all sizes

Perfect for Every Occasion

Our outdoor dining space isn’t just for special occasions (though it’s perfect for those too!). Whether you’re planning:

  • Romantic date nights – Nothing beats the ambiance of our candlelit balcony
  • Birthday celebrations – Create unforgettable memories with family and friends
  • Anniversary dinners – A truly special setting for a special occasion
  • Catch-ups with friends – Enjoy great conversation in a unique setting
  • Family gatherings – Spacious enough for larger groups

…our heated balcony provides the perfect backdrop.

What Makes Outdoor Dining at Shimla Peppers Unique?

1. Year-Round Availability

Unlike most outdoor restaurants in Walsall that close their terraces in autumn, we’re open for alfresco dining 12 months a year. Our powerful heating system ensures you’re comfortable whether it’s July or January.

2. Authentic Punjabi Cuisine

Great atmosphere means nothing without exceptional food. Our chefs prepare traditional Punjabi dishes using time-honored recipes and the finest ingredients. From succulent tandoori specialties to rich, aromatic curries, every dish is made fresh to order.

3. Unmatched Ambiance

We’ve been told our balcony feels more like the French Quarter of New Orleans than the heart of the Black Country. The combination of soft lighting, heating, greenery, and carefully curated décor creates an atmosphere you simply won’t find anywhere else in Walsall.

4. Attentive Service

Our staff ensure your outdoor dining experience is flawless. From helping you choose the perfect dishes to keeping your glasses filled, we’re attentive without being overbearing. Your comfort is our priority.

Our Most Popular Dishes for Outdoor Dining

While you can order anything from our menu on the balcony, these are the dishes our alfresco diners love most:

Starters to Share

  • Peppers Murghi Tikka – Aromatic chicken tikka served with our homemade dip
  • Fish Amritsari – Succulent cod in ajwain and gram flour batter

Signature Main Courses
