Our server was super friendly and patient as we all went back and forth on what to order. We all started with samosas. They were packed with nicely seasoned potatoes and peas. Ever get them where there's more air than filling inside? I ordered the chicken jalfraize, a dish I never had before and was glad i did. It was loaded with chicken, peppers, onions, and a perfectly seasoned sauce and a touch of lemon. I'd definitely order this again. Overall, a very good meal. 2026-32

We were here for a surprise birthday party. The buffet was set up with two appetizers. One was a…read morepotato samosa. The other was a green leaf(unknown plant) that was deep fried. 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.

Love me some Indian food. Tried a new spot. Cute ambiance…read more We went for lunch, there was one other person there. I saw a buffet set up, which I assume they do for dinner The service was great. Very friendly and helpful when asking for suggestions. They had some naan that I had never tried before. Went with this chili naan, and it was so good! The food was very good. Fresh and seasoned very well. True to the spice level. I went with a medium spice, which was the perfect spice level for me. The other dish we went with spicy, and it was spicy but not to the point of uneditable. I loved how my dish came on a clay sizzle plate So my paneer and veggies kept cooking while at the table. The prices were very reasonable, 60 bucks with tip and I got a beer. Can't wait to go back and do the buffet and try other options.

This was my first time at a sit-down Indian restaurant. I've only had take out before. It was a…read moresplendid time. Not only was the food so flavorful and delicious, the service was amazing. We enjoyed the restaurant's eclectic music throughout the meal, and it had a cool beer menu as well (with some beers imported directly from India). This is a strong family-owned business, and you can tell they truly care and are proud of what they serve to you. I will say, walking in on a Saturday night, the place was dead. But as we sat, loads of people stopped in to grab take out. I encourage those who read this to dine in! Not only will you avoid a delivery fee, but you'll get a chance to take in one of the more unique and chill vibes of a restaurant I've been in around Buffalo.

That is to say, there's something here for everyone. We came midweek for a late lunch; the restaurant was quiet and beautiful and there were tempting aromas from the kitchen! I immediately felt at home. We ordered chai, papadums, a mushroom baji (vegetarian) and a shrimp with onions and peppers on a sizzling grill. This came with a side curry, which surprised both of us! Everything was delicious! The owner checked on us to make sure all was well, making us feel very well cared for.

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? :)

Went here with a few of our friends to check out their weekly buffet. It's my first time here since…read morethey hosted an event for Yelp. Sorry it took me so long to return. I really enjoyed the Goat Curry & the Aloo Gobi. I thought most of the other dishes could have used more heat. I took a samosa but not sure why. It was very dark & dried out. We found out while there that they're under new management. Going from Southern Indian to now Afghani. That might explain the difference in spices. Everyone was friendly but the service lacked a bit with no one cleaning up the dirty dishes or asking if we needed more naan or water. I'm on the fence with this review 3.5 to 4 so I'll go up to 4. 2025-64
