What People Are Saying About Shalimar Restaurant

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.

Hands down, no competition in Nashville

Great service: They make you feel like you're part of the family.
The best Indian food in town... I should know, I've been studying for MANY years. You won't find better food anywhere. I crave it almost daily.
Try the mango lassi if your food is too spicy. It's a perfect combination... Yummmmm!
- Pros: Naan and chutneys are superb

How does this restaurant stay in business!
by Marlabenet
As I said above, how does this restaurant stay in business? Does everyone think that because it is in Green Hills, it will be good? Wrong!! I wish I had read the other reviews before dining here! I have eaten Indian food all across the US, in Europe and yes, in India. This restaurant is a sorry excuse not only for Indian cuisine, but for ambiance and service. Basically an all around terrible dining experience! The food is overpriced and exactly as all other negative reviews say, watery, etc... After having a samosa that would have been better from a frozen food section in a grocery store, the dirty plates remained and the main course was brought, with us expecting to continue eating on the same plate. Changing the plate would be the least thing these people could do when you are spending $16.99 for Chicken Vindiloo (that you can get at other Indian restaurnats in Nashville for $10.95). As far as ambiance goes, there is none. The space is tiny, the tables and chairs are out of date and too close to other tables. We could hear the entire conversations of all other four parties in the room. I have never felt this negative about a dining experiece and I feel absolutely ripped off! I am a world traveler and know my stuff, so please do not dine at this restaurant! It does not even rate one star!
- Pros: None!

Overpriced, food not great.
by MagicalArmchair
When you see $15 for a chicken vindaloo on the menu you should expect something good. Not here; I got an average dish with watery sauce. The garlic naan seemed to be fried pizza base with garlic powder too amply sprinkled over the top. Won't be eating here again.
- Pros: Example: best croissants in town
- Cons: What are the drawbacks?
