Editorial Review for Shalimar Fine Indian Cuisine – by Susan Knowles
In Short
Shalimar's two intimate rooms, featuring ornamental wall treatments with richly decorated borders, set the scene for a very special dining experience. The relatively simple menu consists of curries, masalas, biryanis and five kinds of Indian bread, yet the varied degrees of hotness for each dish make them almost as unique as if they were different concoctions. For dessert, there's Indian rice pudding with pistachios.

i ate at shalimar tonight with a friend, we both had chicken masala and shared some garlic naan and saag aloo. everything was steaming when it came to our table, and i could tell everything they used was fresh. the service was a little slow but the staff was gracious and accommodating. i have been shying away from indian food for a while, but now i'm not afraid of it... i loved everything i had! i wanted to try a vegetarian entree and some different flavors of naan. there is a lot to choose from!
Pros: fresh food, wonderful flavors
Cons: parking

I work in Green Hills, was starving at 5pm and didn't want to cook my own dinner. I ordered take out from Shalimar and dropped by on my way home. I had ordered Palak Paneer, Channa Masala and Garlic Naan. I was astonished to pay $22 for the teeny-tiny side-order portions of the 2 dishes and some greasy, pizza-bread like thing that didn't remotely resemble any naan I've ever seen. I was so shocked I almost turned around and took it back, but I was so hungry I couldn't find the energy. The Paneer was decent, the Channa Masala I can make better myself and the bread was confusing, awful and disappointing. Naan is a flatbread, chewy in texture and definitely not dripping in oil. I have dined at hole-in-the-wall Indian restaurants around the world that were far better and have also enjoyed Michelin-starred Indian restaurants in London that were more reasonably priced. What a shame and shame on you Shalimar for such outrageous prices and minimal effort on your part. Never again!
Pros: None.
Cons: Overpriced, bad, bad food.
