It was clean. The food was fresh and tasty. I had the vegetable plate. Because the rice is not gluten-free, they offered me the choice of more salad or falafel. I chose falafel. The falafel were warm and moist with a nice crust. It was accompanied by hummus and baba ghanoush. The portions were generous and everything tasted fresh. If you're looking for Mediterranean, food is a great option.

You order at the counter, then they bring you the food, no other table service. The Wife ordered a falafel wrap, while I took a chance with the seafood combo plate. We also ordered the vegetarian dolmas. Everything was pleasant. The shrimp were very well cooked, but I wondered how fresh the salmon was, since it had a slight "fishy" smell. We make dinner with similar salmon portions at home superior to this. The falafel wrap was quite good, as were the dolmas. We also got complimentary bread on the side, which was decent, if a bit dry. I ordered a diet coke and got a can, before I noticed I could have just had free water from the condiment area. There's a large dessert display, but we weren't hungry for more. I would hesitate to stop in again, but might just get a shrimp dish instead.

Returned after several years and unfortunately have to downgrade my rating. I'd give it 3.5 stars,…read morebut decided to round down. The food was fine overall, but not as good as I remembered. We started with hummus and a few other appetizers, which were good, and the hot naan-style bread was generously refilled when requested. They dont have an alcohol license after all these years so that was a disappointment that you cant enjoy a drink with your meal. The biggest issue was the service. There was only one server, and as the restaurant began to fill up, he seemed to have difficulty keeping up. One person in our party didn't receive their calzone until nearly 15 minutes after everyone else's food arrived--by then, everyone had finished eating. Getting takeout boxes and the check also took quite a while, and we eventually had to walk up to get his attention. A couple of other things detracted from the experience: the music was unnecessarily loud and not very relaxing, and an automatic 18% gratuity was added for our party of four. Given the overall service, the 18% tip felt high. There are several other Mediterranean restaurants in the area where we consistently have better service, so unfortunately, we're unlikely to return.

I was hungry and hoping to eat something substantial. A quick check showed Mirchi Cafe a few hundred feet away, which made me so happy because anyone who's had the Nashta(breakfast) plate there will tell you that's it's an excellent way to break your fast. I went in and got the plate but they were out of Shami (the meat patties), so I had to make do with potato patties. The plate comes with two eggs cooked your way or as an omelet, a whole wheat flatbread , two meat or potato patties and Chai. It was super hot today and the inside could have been cooler temperature wise, but all was forgotten as soon as the plate of food and tea appeared before me(which was quick btw). Paratha (flatbread) was great texture wise and the omelet was also fluffy and flavorful. The potato patties were incredibly crunchy on the outside and perfectly spiced and soft on the inside. The chai was so good it should have its own review. All in all what a great first meal to a whole day of fasting. Restaurent was clean and the restroom and its floors were just wiped down when I went to use it. Shaukat who took my order was super nice and friendly, and the other guy who brought my food over was also efficient and polite.

The food is consistently incredible we never leave without ordering the Chicken Shahi Paneer and the Lachcha Paratha (the perfect combo!).

But what really makes this place special is the people. "Aunty" is absolutely the sweetest; she is always so incredibly welcoming and warm. She truly makes us feel like family every time we walk through the door. Even my son loves it here! Whether we are dining in or grabbing takeout, the experience is always positive and full of heart.

Shalimar, Dublin: 2026 July 12 (5 of 5)…read more Let's Meet for Lunch When a handful of friends reunite, time seems to disappear. This get-together is at Shalimar Restaurant in Dublin. Shalimar serves authentic Pakistani and Indian food. The atmosphere here is casual and unassuming. It's an open eatery with community tables and chairs on both sides of the tables. There are also booths and benches for those who need some privacy. This canteen-style eatery focuses on food. You order and pay at the counter. They get your name, and your order is served fresh and piping hot. Everyone ordered something different: Tandoori Chicken, Fresh Baked Naan, Goat Biryani, Fish, Okra, Goat Karahi, Biryani Rice, and several other dishes. The dishes were placed in the middle of the long table and we all got to taste everyone's food. Every dish was flavourful and the seasoning on each dish was on-point. Their naan is baked daily - and you can taste the freshness of the bread. The vibe was strong because it's been an absolute age since we last met up. All nine of us picked up where we left off. As we filled our plates with delicious eats, conversation flowed while we joked and ate. The short reunion came to an end when Shalimar breaks for two hours before it opens again for dinner. We bade goodbye as we went our separate ways. Until the next chapter...
