Great Indian Food Shalimar is one of the better indian joints in SF. I will say that if you go for lunch, be ready for an afternoon nap, because the food has a tendency to knock you out. Overall the curries are excellent and from what I hear, pretty authentic. PROS: Great Indian Food, reasonable Prices CONS:

In the 21st Century all places should accept credit cards I like this place (Chana Masala for around $5) but I wish they accepted credit cards. I do not like carrying cash and they have one of those ATM machines that charge $4. If your in the neighborhood and have cash this is a good spot.

Indian Treats I love this restaurant and it's the first Indian place I've been to. They have great service, food, and a lot of people love to come here to eat. It's a family-friendly place. My favorite foods they have are the eggplant dishes, the chicken masala, the rice, and of course, the naan (Indian flat bread)! If you want to try a new, exotic cuisine, Shalimar is the place to go!

Great Indian Shalimar is hands down the best Indian/Pakistani food in the city. They have the best naan ever, as well as tandoori chicken, lamb, etc. I love their chicken tikka masala, as well as the other veggie side dishes. Service is a little abrupt, but who cares since the food is so good. Cheap too.

Awesome Food Reminds of you of highway joints (Dhabas) in India. Chicken dishes are great and really cheap too. Would strongly recommend lovers of Indo-Paki food to try it. Not for people who like mellowed down Indian-American cuisine.

The best Indian food in the Bay There's no doubt that Shalimar serves the best Indo-Pakistani food. They receive rave reviews from time to time, but what has amazed me is that their performance is really consistent. They now have several branches throughout the bayy. It's in a shady part of town - Tenderloin, but the restaurant and the street is crowded with customers making it feel safe enough to hang out late. They are open pretty late on weekends (1 am). there's a garage across the street that offers cheap parking. Don't ... read more

My favorite Indian retaurant in SF I haven't been to a whole lot of Indian restaurants, but this is the best one that I've been to in the bay area! This is a great choice for large groups. You can order many dishes and try everything! My favorite Indian dish, Chicken Masala, is excellent here! The garlic naan is to die for. The good thing is that there are several locations around the bay area - I have been to the 2 locations in SF, and I hope to check out the one in Union City sometime soon. (I had Naan & Curry for the firs... read more

Food quality is sub par. Every chicken piece I ate had bone fragments or cartilage. The oil amount was overwhelming.

While i'm not nearly the superfan that Shady is, I would give this experience a strong 8/10, in the sense that all the dishes were tasty, & several of them I know i will crave afterword (update one week later - it's true ;) Specifically i'd recommend: the Goat Biryani, the Okra, Lamb curry, and the tandoori chicken. I also appreciated the garlic naan though not all in my party were in love with the oven technique (crispy on one side, soft on the other). Overall i'd be pretty happy to come back. Oh and yes the service was act... read more
