I've been coming here since they were at there small location by Clara Barton and I was so happy to…read moresee this business upgrade to a larger space. The food is always fresh and consistently reliable with spice and delicious flavors. They have a very large dining area that looks like it can accommodate large groups and events. And the staff and owner are always attentive. I usually get the Combo platters because you get a little of everything: salad, Naan, Chicken Biryani, and a choice of 2 meats. If you're in the area give them a try!

Especially their chole bhature and chicken 65. The food tastes very authentic yet elevated desi cuisine. The mango lassi is also perfect. If you dont want anything else just come for the mango lassi. Its the best. Super thick n Tastes of real mangoes. Theres a lotttt of vegetarian and vegan options for anyone with dietary restrictions. The customer service is also splendid. The owner personally caters to his customers and makes sure everything is top notch.

Shalimar, Woodbridge - Worth the Detour…read more Finding parking in Manhattan can feel nearly impossible--unless you're willing to pay what amounts to a full night's hotel rate just to stop for a short meal. On our way back to DC, we finally decided to stop somewhere more practical where parking wouldn't be a hassle. We ended up in Woodbridge and initially stopped at Shah's. Since my wife and I weren't in the mood for fast food, we asked the staff for a recommendation. Without hesitation, they pointed us to Shalimar, saying it was the best option in the area despite there being several Desi restaurants nearby. After a 10 min drive we arrived with fairly low expectations. The surrounding area felt a bit worn and unremarkable--but the moment we stepped inside, that impression completely changed. The restaurant was clean, modern, and felt recently renovated. Since we still had a long drive ahead, I asked for their specialty dishes. The initial interaction with the staff felt a bit rushed, as if they had somewhere else to be on a Friday night--but we managed to place our order. And then the food arrived. The sizzler was outstanding--perfectly seasoned, incredibly flavorful, and with a texture that really stood out. The chicken was juicy and tender, paired beautifully with buttery naan. The portion was massive--easily enough for four people, and even with our best effort, we still had leftovers. Asked for extra sauce to go but that came in as a no show. We also tried the Chapli kebab, which was equally impressive. Crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and packed with flavor. The combination of red onions and green chili on the side elevated the dish even further. Service was a bit mixed. The younger staff seemed quite busy and not especially attentive, but the manager noticed and stepped in, which improved the experience. Before leaving, we grabbed a mango lassi and a falooda to go--both excellent and perfect for the drive back. Overall, the food, portion sizes, ambiance, and pricing were all outstanding. Even if the service wasn't perfect that evening, the quality of the food alone makes this a place we would absolutely return to when in the area.

While the lamb was tasty, it was also quite chewy and overly salty, which seemed to be what they used to achieve the "medium spice" I asked for. The portion of meat was large, but it was served with a surprisingly small amount of rice, making it a bit unbalanced. The real star of the meal, though, was the mango lassi. It was incredibly good and refreshing. The dining room is quite nice. Large enough for groups. And the waiter was quite friendly.

| Deeply Disappointed -- What Happened to Baithakh?…read more Baithakh used to be one of our favorite go-to spots in North Brunswick. We've always enjoyed the food, but unfortunately, something has definitely changed since our last visit -- and not for the better. We ordered several dishes, including the Baithakh Seekh Kebab Roll, Crispy Fried Chicken Burger, Beef Paya, Beef Nihari, Peshawari Mutton Karahi, and Chicken Malai Boti. To our surprise, nearly everything was a letdown. The Beef Paya and Peshawari Mutton Karahi were both swimming in oil and severely lacked flavor, which was shocking considering how good they used to be. The Fried Chicken Burger had decent seasoning, but the chicken itself was tough and rubbery -- almost inedible. The Chicken Malai Boti was okay, but even that wasn't as tender or flavorful as we've had here before. Maybe they've changed chefs or recipes, but the quality just isn't the same anymore. Baithakh had never failed us before, but this visit was a major disappointment. Sadly, we're giving it a 2 out of 5 stars. We hope they find their way back to the standard that once made them great.

Everything tasted extremely fresh, flavorful, spicy, and like your favorite family member made it. There was a wait of 15-30mins when we got here on Saturday night - it is popular - and the service is busy but friendly. Ambiance is tidy and neat, but not a glamorous spot - if you're eating in it's because you care about the food not about the pictures. We ordered beef Nehari, beef behari, goat achari, goat pulao, veg butt samosa, beef bhi kebabs. Everything was 10/10
