The Best – The bes Pakistani food I have ever tasted. The food is wonderful to the point that we come from fremont just to enjoy the best food of this great restaurant. Especially the lamb chops and Chicken Booti with fresh hot bread and onion and chilli salad. Just amazing. Good Job Shalimar.

Best and Cheapest – The tandoori chicken is incredible as is the Chicken Tikka Masala. We go at least once a month and are never disappointed. Even when we are full we can't stop eating this stuff! Go just don't pay attention to the decor or lack there of...

An Orgiastic Feast of the senses – They say this is the type of restaurant you take your friends to, but not your parents. Oddly enough, I walked in there and there were two families with their 6 month old babies waiting for a table. The food is superb, as is the service. The waitstaff clearly know the regulars and appreciate it when they return. I've gone with groups as small as 3 and as large as six and the price of the meal is consistently around $40. A great deal! The food is spicy, but not enough to cover the distinct o... read more

Top cusine for fast-food prices – Shalimar offers outstanding cuisines at very inexpensive prices. The neighborhood isnt the best, but the great food and value certainly makes up for it. I will defiantly eat at Shalimar again and recommend it to my friends.

Decent Food, don't trip over the Bums! – This place gets mixed reviews but my last trip there was just fine. The food was good. Chicken curry and the rice (#17&#15) $10. Plenty of tasty, spicy food. The ambience leaves much to be desired, its the 'loin, what would you expect. Zagat rates the food 23 and the ambience a 3. Service was apathetic, they don't care if you eat there or not. I like the BYOB tolerance, a couple of guys brought in their own beer. I'm going to try their sister restaurant next week.

Dishonest business practice..... – I visited the location on Polk Street last night and have a giant complaint. Our total bill was $17, but I was kind of irked because when I added up our bill myself, it came to $16. This shady adding is totally remniscient of Pakwan (in the Mission), where they just tack on a couple bucks to your bill arbitrarily..... I know, big deal - it's a freakin' dollar .... but every person who goes there is being cheated! A totally dishonest business practice. If they are going to take the time to p... read more

great food, even better prices... – Great Indian food at reasonable prices - just $20 buys you dinner for 2! We went to the Polk St. location (btw. California & Pine). Don't expect too much by way of ambiance though, seems like that's how they keep their prices down.

Naan better than Shalimar... – In the past week ate at both their Jones and Polk street locations. Had the chance to sample their naans, chicken kofta, murchig korma shahi (curried chicken) and beef seekh kabab. Service is a bit slow but given the prices (all dishes under $10), who can complain? The naan was really good, slightly charred with a soft/tender texture. The spices were very subtle with just enough bite at the end to give you the sniffles. A great deal, good food that overcomes the negatives of the ambiance...
