Well, on the positive side, I had a really nice time in good company. The restaurant was clean,…read morerather spacious, and I certainly appreciated the white tablecloths. We sat at a round table that perfectly fit our group of seven. It was a very comfortable setting, so we could talk freely. We came for "Buffet Night Wednesday," served from 4:30 to 9:00 p.m. Around 6:30 p.m., I felt like we were late to the party and should have been grateful there was still some food left. We knew a large group of 25 people would be coming for the buffet that day, but I didn't think it would be a problem. The buffet looked kind of sad to me. I managed to sample almost everything, even Goat Curry. Everyone said it was very good. I passed on the Samosas (not too appetizing looking). Also, I didn't want to commit to the whole piece of Tandoori Chicken, so I checked the Chicken 65 instead. It was nothing like I had tried before, but the bite size pieces were good, plus it wasn't really spicy. Everyone's favorite, Butter Chicken, was very tasty. I had only a small piece of chicken. When I went back for another one, it was gone, only the sauce remained. I think just one dish was refilled during our entire stay. I was hoping for fresh Samosas, but it didn't happen. The Tofu dish was one of my favorites. Luckily, there were just a few pieces hanging around, so there was no risk I could overeat at this particular buffet. For dessert, I had a little white pudding. It was a generic dish you'll find in every Asian buffet, nothing special. We learned that the ownership had changed, but it seemed like it was still a family business. The children were supposed to clean up the dirty dishes, but they didn't. We were surrounded with dirty plates, and none of the employees seemed to care. This was my first visit to Shalimar BBQ & Grill, and I can't compare my experience to previous quality. I can't complain about the taste and flavor, really, but the entire buffet was missing something. Maybe the food? :)

I ordered it to go. Everything was well packaged; sealed with plastic wrap, no items missing. I also want to say, although this is my first time trying their food as I have a favorite spot already, I have picked up other deliveries here and the staff is always very kind! You can dine in as well and the ambience is dark and warm with dark woods. As for the food itself, it wasn't my favorite, but nothing was terribly wrong with it either. I found the korma and especially the karahi more thin than I prefer. I like the "sauce" thicker in consistency. Also, the top note of spices was not my favorite ... but taste is subjective and this is just my personal preference. However, they were generous with the chicken! The vegetable biryani was lacking in veggies too. There were a few peas and mostly chunks of cauliflower. It just sort of missed the mark for me. But I wouldn't advise anyone not to go there or anything; the business has been around for quite a while! It just wasn't my personal favorite given my other choices but I wanted to try a new place for Indian food. Prices were pretty much on par with other Indian restaurants in the area.

Just the antidote to the unremitting low skies of Buffalo. The masala teas were strong black milk teas simmered with cinnamon, cloves and cardamom, served in paper cups. My spicy dosa was about the level of my Texas chili, but my husband reported seeing beads on my face! I immediately felt better! Another thing to love about the place: The prices of the dosas are about 25% less than a comparable one in Buffalo, and they're maybe a little better tasting! This is a great place for families: Some booths could seat eight easily, and Bollywood musicals are on loop.

. Absolutely Terrible Experience -- Completely Unacceptable Service and Disgusting Conditions…read more This was an absolutely terrible experience from beginning to end. I understand that restaurants can get busy, and I genuinely do not mind waiting when necessary. However, there is a significant difference between being patient with a restaurant during a busy period and being subjected to an experience this poorly managed. The lack of communication, complete disorganization, unacceptable service, and disgusting condition of the establishment made this one of the worst restaurant experiences I have had. To begin with, it took an unreasonable amount of time for anyone to acknowledge my presence and ask what I needed. There were only a few people in the restaurant, so the lack of attention was especially frustrating and difficult to understand. There was no host at the front desk, just a bell with a sign instructing customers to ring for assistance. The problem? Nobody was actually there to provide that assistance. Customers were essentially left standing around, wondering whether anyone working there even noticed they had arrived. Eventually, a woman came out from the back, but it quickly became apparent that she was being expected to do everything herself. She was waiting tables, handling DoorDash orders, and delivering food, all while attempting to manage the customers in the restaurant. If staffing is so inadequate that one employee is expected to handle nearly every aspect of the operation, that is a management failure. Customers should not have to suffer because a restaurant is incapable of organizing its staff or providing even a basic level of service. What made the experience even worse was the handling of my order. My order was marked as ready, yet nobody ever brought it out to me. There was no clear communication, no timely follow-up, and no effort to make sure I actually received the food I had ordered. Marking an order as ready when it has not been delivered to the customer is unacceptable. What is the point of providing order status updates if customers cannot trust them? I should not have to chase down employees or stand around trying to figure out what is happening with an order that the restaurant itself has already declared ready. On top of all of this, the restaurant was absolutely disgusting. The condition of the establishment was appalling and did nothing to inspire confidence in the cleanliness or overall management of the operation. Basic cleanliness and sanitation should be nonnegotiable in any restaurant, particularly one preparing and serving food. Instead of feeling comfortable eating there, I was left questioning the standards being maintained behind the scenes. The environment was so unpleasant that it further reinforced just how poorly the entire operation appeared to be run. Ultimately, the combination of the lack of acknowledgment, nonexistent front-of-house assistance, overwhelmed staff, failure to deliver an order that was supposedly ready, and disgusting surroundings made it impossible for me to properly enjoy or even try the food. This was not simply a matter of having to wait a little longer than expected. It was a complete breakdown in customer service and basic operational standards. A restaurant does not need to provide extravagant service to earn a customer's business. It needs to communicate, acknowledge people when they arrive, deliver the orders it claims are ready, and maintain a clean environment. These are basic expectations, not unreasonable demands. Unfortunately, this establishment failed on every one of those fronts. I left thoroughly disappointed and extremely frustrated. Based on this experience, I cannot recommend this restaurant. Management needs to take a serious look at its staffing, customer service, order-handling procedures, and cleanliness standards. Customers should not have to work this hard just to receive an order, get someone's attention, or feel comfortable in the establishment. This experience was unacceptable, and the overall lack of care and organization gives me very little reason to ever return.

I also had the chance to try their vegetable samosa -- a delicious crispy fried pastry filled with a savory potato and veggie mixture. It honestly reminded me of a flavorful Indian-style stuffing.

There were two dipping sauces. One was green and chunky(like a salsa) and the other looked like soy sauce. It had a nice kick to it. I ate both the samosa and the deep fried leaves. I liked the fried leaves very much, with the dark brown spicy sauce. Not easy to eat, but tasty. The hot items on the buffet were labeled, but I did not write down the names. One was, of course, rice! Most of the dishes had nice chunks of chicken in them. The Tikka Marsala was my favorite, lots of chicken with the peppers and seasoned sauce. There was also a dish with paneer cheese in it. Also nice, and the paneer does get nice and soft. Another dish was a chicken curry. There were several dishes that were vegetarian. Everything I ate had a nice flavor and some also had some heat/spiciness. I think the lunch buffet is offered 6 days/week. It's $19.95. It's a lot of food for lunch. It is not clear whether the buffet is also available at dinnertime.
