Reviews
A small storefront nestled in between pizza joints and supermarkets, the place is less than 2 min from the i87 highway, making it PERFECT for a quick pit stop. Or if you want an easy meal for the family or friends this is also great for folks who are either curious about Indian cuisine or are well versed in Vindaloo
The staff are very attentative and welcoming, they keep all the food hot and topped off, and the buffet is spotless and very well presented.
While they may be a smaller buffet, they rotate out the dishes on their dinner buffet so you can come back and try something new. Everything they make is amazing! From the Aloo Paneer Tikki to the Chicken Tandoori to the Masala and the spicy onion chutney, they have the staples down pat and done RIGHT! Many types of Vegetarian, chicken, and fish dishes were available in curry sauces as well as a spicy chicken chili with peppers and onions.
There was plenty of light fluffy Naan and two types of basmati rice to soak up the flavors.
And the best part? $16 per person for buffet. Can’t be beat.
I highly recommend mixing the sauces with the food you eat! They mix well and enhance the flavors! Especially with the biryani.
The restaurant is also nut friendly, for people with allergies. The biryani does have coconut in it. Other than that all the food I was shown didn’t have nuts.
The deserts were my favorite definitely worth a try! I’d recommend going to this restaurant if you have time.
I ordered a vegetarian rice dish for takeout and found a large piece of chicken in it. I called the restaurant and between the two people they transfered me back and forth, they asked me multiple times what my name and order was despite having all my information as it was an online order. Then they hung up on me as I restated my complaint. Rude and dismissive behavior!! I called back and after I repeated the issue, they had the audacity to ask me to bring the food back! This begs the question, were they planning to serve it to other patrons, which of course would be a serious health code violation?! Of course, that was not something feasible.
There was no apology and they kept saying they weren’t the owners and unable to refund me which makes no sense for a petty transaction of $13. At this point, I mentioned I would have no choice but to leave a 1 star review as it was unacceptable and the guy said they were busy and had to close the place. I support small businesses but you’ve left me no choice. You’ve lost a customer and future business from those who read the review. Spend your money elsewhere.
I’m not the biggest fan of Indian cuisine, which stems from my lack of tolerance for spice. But I felt exploratory this week, and so I picked Shalimar to buy my cheat day dinner from. Going with an order of the Mixed Appetizers, Chicken Tikka Makhani, and Cheese Naan.
Total came to a little over $25 before tip, a very reasonable price for the quantity of food I received. The staff was very pleasant, and ordering over the phone did not prove to be too difficult. But how was the quality? Well when I arrived home I found the takeout was packed very well, everything kept warm in tinfoil, tightly sealed containers, and not a single bit of leakage. Impressive.
The mixed appetizer, which consists of vegetable samosa, pakora and pappadum, was a good way to start. I didn’t end up finishing everything though, because I needed room for that chicken tikka makhani, or Indian Butter Chicken. Poured over rice it was a great curry, delicious in every sense of the word. It was rich and creamy, the chicken was thick and meaty, the flavors were almost addictive. By the end I was stuffed and foisted the remaining naan and appetizers off on my old man who throughly enjoyed them, as he is a big fan of Indian foods.
This was an excellent meal for a great price, highly recommended!
