My friend and I went to Shalimar and were very excited. The food was pretty good, not the best Indian food we’ve ever had, but still good. Other reviews have said it was like moes or chipotle where they have a counter that displays toppings and fillings that you pick out, but it was not set up that way when I went(December 2015). The menu tells you what is and isn’t vegetarian, which is nice. My meal and drink costed about $ 9. I would return again. Parking is a little difficult, but there is metered parking across the street.

Perfect heat and seasoning. I think it was about $ 7 before tax. Omar at the counter super friendly and the chef was a delight coming out to meet me. I’m typing while I eat and it is awesome!!!

Update: I think this restaurant changed ownership, as the man and woman running the restaurant on a recent visit were not familiar. My last visit was truly disappointing. The food was not fresh or flavorful. I know for a fact that the woman helping me took my plate of food to the back and microwaved it. Had she told me that would be happening, I would have said, «No thank you,» and walked away. Having to microwave your food means you probably weren’t keeping it at proper temperatures, and that’s concerning. Unfortunately, I won’t be visiting again. The search for phenomenal Indian food downtown continues.

Great food, and friendly staff. I’m not quite sure what authentic Indian food is like, but either way I think that most people would like this place. None of the food is particularly unusual and I’d have any of it. The set meals get you a decent amount of food and you’ll be looking at paying $ 7-$ 11 dollars per meal drink included and they even had a special today where all I paid was $ 7 with my drink, don’t think you’ll come in here getting that deal though. I’d come again.

This place is an innovative idea, but the food is just ok. I ordered a bowl with both rices(one on each side to try) at the suggestion of the guy behind the counter, who was really friendly and helpful. I paid the extra $ 1 for lamb, and got both korma and makhni(again one on each side) «curries». They’re really just thin sauces — the korma is spicier than I’m used to rather than creamy and rather sweet, but the makhni is perfectly spiced and delicious. I also ordered a samosa and raita, and while the samosa was pretty well-spiced, the raita was not good to me and definitely nothing to write home about. I should note, however, that the channa masala was delicious. Overall, I’ll come to this place when I have a craving for Indian flavors during lunch because it’s cheap and it’s fast, but if you’re coming for authentic Indian food, look elsewhere.
