Same food, new prices This restaurant has always been a mediocre Indian restaurant; however, about two years ago they moved to a new, bigger location and raised their prices accordingly. I have had the tandoori chicken as well as the naan and also the butter chicken. They pretty much have all the typical dishes, nothing more -- nothing less.
My Favorite Indian Restaurant in the NW – Indian cuisine has always been one of my favorite types of food. The unusual spices, fresh naan bread, and rich desserts are what attract me to it. From my experience as an Indian food "connoisseur? I have found that most Indian restaurants are about the same in quality. Thus, they are never terribly bad, nor particularly exceptional in food quality, service, or restaurant environment. There are two restaurants that come to mind that do not fit this pattern. They are ?Shalimar? and ?... read more
Delicious! – I frequent Shalimar based on its proximity to my office. Their lunch menu is great, and reasonably priced. I think the dishes they offer are outstanding. I always find the staff to be kind and hospitable. After moving to a new location just up the block from the old one, I find the environment to be great - beautiful wood, a calming fountain, etc. With the abundance of Indian restaurants in the U-District, these are the reasons I select Shalimar over the others. The only trouble I tend to have is the inconsisten... read more
Beautiful Atmosphere!! Great Taste!! – this restaurant is gorgeous!! it sets the scene for a perfect meal. there is even a waterfall inside the restaurant! The decore and atmosphere take you to another place. the food was Scrumptious, they use just the right amount of spice too, so that the food is full of unique indian and pakistani flavor! i order chicken japuri all the time, i believe its one of the many amazing didhes on the menu. As a matter of fact i've tried most everything on the menu; everything has a unique flavor.... read more
bad food, service is even worse & they tried to scam on the bill!!!! – We found this place because they advertised in the Entertainment book. We read their menu outside and some things looked really good. We were promptly seated and ordered garlic nan. The nan came out before they even took our main course orders! They finally took our food orders and then our food seemed to appear almost instantly, which made me suspect they had those dishes ready under a heat lamp. My 2nd reason for thinking this is that I asked for my dis... read more
service leaves a lot to be desired – And other than that, I have no qualms. The last couple of times that I ate at this well-decorated establishment, I've had to wait for quite a while for everything from a server, to a straw. I must say though, that when my server finally arrived (and I've had the same one for the last couple of visits), she was pleasant and sweet. I enjoy the garlic naan as it's thick and doughy with lots of flavor. Sometimes burnt, but nothing that I can't look over =]. Also the vegetarian eggplant dish i... read more
It's good – We've been to shalimar many times. I think that the service is pretty good. Love their curry. The chai is also good. This might sound weird, but I love their rice...they have the best rice in my opinion. The restaurant has a pretty good atmosphere...their music is cool.
Love it! – I can't believe the bad reviews! Shalimar is wonderful! They just moved to a MUCH bigger location (up 45th half a block) and can now accomodate big parties... someday I'll have my wedding rehearsal dinner there! The waitstaff is very kind and thoughtful. Lunch entries are very affordable, the naan is puffy as a cloud, and their tandori prawns (my favorite dinner to order) are to die for. I moved out of the U-District but still plan on making plenty of trips to Shalimar.
Average Indian is great for Seattle – We've had such trouble finding even decent Indian in Seattle that reliably average Indian is taken as some sort of positive development. Until we find the best Indian food Seattle has to offer, Shalimar will have to do.
