Reviews
The staff understood our time constraints, were friendly and attentive without rushing us, guiding us through the menu as necessary.
My wife chose a vegetable karahi and I the haleem, with basic side orders of rice and roti.
Our food was exemplary! The karahi was pretty much the best we’ve ever had, a great mix of fresh vegetables and the base sauce was perfectly seasoned.
My haleem… perfection! A broth of lentils and lamb with, again, perfect seasoning. Such a wonderful tasty dish. Normally a starter but they doubled it into a main meal. Beautiful, and unusual to find on a menu.
So although the exterior of the restaurant may not stand out, what you find inside (where it really counts of course!) will.
Started well with draft Cobra and Peacock cider.
I asked if there was a chief’s speciality and the friendly and informative owner Jamil directed me to the katwa, made with shin of beef. It was brilliant, with well balanced spices, reasonable heat and the meat was so tender (no gristle or fat). It came in a light and tasty broth and was finished with fresh coriander. I had a plain naan with it and i was stuffed. The dish stayed really hot to the last mouthful. The beef shin Jamil uses is UTM – under twenty months.
My wife had lamb patha and so that wasn’t too hot Jamil brought some sauce out for her to taste. A nice caring touch and from the way he treats his staff and customers it is clear that food is his passion. This dish too, was awesome.
The peshwari naan she had was the best ever, tastefully laced with garlic, almonds and honey – mmmh. Liked the coffee afterwards too, all this for about 53 quid. Would we come here again, you bet we will, what a find.
The Cobra was great, and the pinot grigio was good, too.
We both had king prawn puri, and that was THE BEST puri bread we’ve ever had. Very light, and not at all “doughy”.
Both curries were superb, if a touch oily, and done to the strength we asked for.
Naan and rice were also good.
Very attentive service, and price was good, even better when the 2 for 1 Tastecard offer on starter and mains was used.
On our next visit to Harrogate, we’ll definitely be returning here.

A True Gem in Harrogate – Treated Like Family!
I had the absolute pleasure of dining at Salimar Restaurant in Harrogate, and I can honestly say — this place is nothing short of exceptional. From the moment I walked in, I was welcomed with such warmth and hospitality that I truly felt like part of the family.
The food? Absolutely incredible. I ordered a traditional desi dish, and every bite was bursting with authentic flavour, perfectly spiced and cooked to perfection. The fresh chapatis were soft and warm, the curry was rich and delicious, and the side salad and chutney complemented everything beautifully. You can tell they cook with heart here.
But what really sets Salimar apart is the people. The service was not just good – it was genuinely caring. The staff made sure everything was perfect from start to finish, and their kindness and attention to detail made the experience feel more like a family gathering than a typical restaurant visit.
Whether you’re local or just visiting Harrogate, this is a must-visit spot. Salimar isn’t just a restaurant – it’s a place where you feel welcomed, valued, and at home.
Highly, highly recommended!
