    GARLIC NAN
    Philip Y.

    Great decoration and copper ware for dining and drinking is a nice touch. I ordered Lamb Kadai (spicy) and garlic naan for dinner. They served up very fast and they were delicious and spicy. The garlic naan was fresh out of the tandoori oven with great texture and flavor.

    Chicken curry

    Great service, friendly waitress and nice comfy space. Booths are nice and tall for intimate settings and other side has more communal spaces. Had chicken curry and it was delicious. I didn't want to go spicy but they have levels and that was great for me, I had mild. Garlic naan was so yummy, could be more fluffy but decent. Samosas were delicious and come with 3 siping sauces, def a must. Great to go containers. Prices were a bit high for proteins but considering it's not take out I'll leave it up to you to decide. Great flavors

    Absolutely delicious. The chicken tikka masala was thicker than what we usually have, but it made for a hardier dish. The lamb saag was moist and tender with a slight hint of mint. The naan was perfectly crispy and chewy at the same time. Lots of garlic sprinkled on top. So fragrant. And our apps were super flavorful. Everything was served in quaint copper ware. Even the glasses for water were copper. Add superb service and distinct decor and it made for a wonderful dining experience.

    CHICKEN TIKKA MASALA
    Corie Y.

    I've only driven past here roughly a million times and never stopped in. I will say I'm quite the novice when it comes to Indian, but luckily my date was a pro. It was really nice inside! Great table settings, nice decor. Cute spot for sure. We started with drinks and for me, the Tamarind Margarita was delicious. I love a drink with strong savory notes and this was perfect. We decided to start with an appetizer and we chose the Combo Platter for some variety. The dish was a mix of veg and meat appetizers - beef samosa, chicken samosa, veg samosa, aloo tikki, chicken pakora. The samosas were exploding with flavor and the house sauces on the table just amped it up. The chicken pakora was my favorite. It was basically fried chicken thigh pieces, so flavorful and juicy and crispy. I would totally order that next time, and there will be a next time! We ordered three mains to share - chicken tikki masala, lamb vindaloo and tandoori murg half order. This came with a pot of rice and of course we ordered some naan. The chicken tikka masala was my favorite, it was so flavorful, warm, creamy, tender, really well prepared and delicious. The lamb vindaloo was pretty spicy hot for me, but I can't turn down lamb, so I did enjoy a bit and the meat was so good and tender it just fell apart. The tandoori chicken was shockingly good. It was a half a chicken, and the bone in thigh was so juicy as soon as you broke past the charred exterior. It was such an excellent meal and we each had a to-go box, and Indian left overs are the best. I am so happy I finally decided to try here. I see myself getting takeout frequently in the future. The service was a little slow at times, but that happens and the meal itself was so worth it. Trust me, I'm currently eating those left overs.

    So dry, not hot...fish is so fishy. I regret getting this dry platter mixed TANDOORI MURG l. So disappointed. Won't be ordering this again

    Wait a long to take order, waited a long time for food. When it was time to check out, we had to wait another 30 minutes after I told the waiter we're ready for our check and pack her food so total of two hours . The tikka platter we order was so dry and so cold.I have always ordered for pick up but my son and I Decided to eat there. Won't be doing that anymore.

    Here it is, 2026, and all signage and documents for this restaurant - inside and outside - still…read moresay Spicy Mint. I'll make the diplomatic assumption that changing the name is not top priority here. If that means their effort is going into the food they serve here, that is perfectly fine with me, because I did enjoy their lunch buffet. The buffet is is almost completely self-serve, and by that I mean everything is on the buffet tables, including plates, silverware, and paper napkins. The staff will bring you beverages and clear the table very promptly. The atmosphere is simple and straightforward, with pleasant music and no TVs. Today's buffet had some items I don't always see, such as papadam, and naan is on the buffet. The pakoras option was one I'd not seen elsewhere, cabbage. It was delicious, quite addicting, but also quite filling. There were several vegetarian options, 3 types of rice, 3 types of chicken, and a mutton entree. The spice level was ever so slightly higher than what I've had for some similar options at other restaurants in the area, which I also liked. There were multiple dessert entrees, including a vanilla custard/pudding, and a creamy kheer with a subtle and pleasant flavor of cinnamon. The buffet price, just over $17 for 1 person, is reasonable for the food you are offered and competitive with the other similar restaurants in the area. I'm glad to have so many buffet options within a few miles of my home; the difficult part is "Which one do I visit today?"

I can say it could have went up a little spicier but it was leaving me feeling like okay. That was a good amount of spice. Tender chicken with delicious tikka masala sauce which was nice and creamy. Also ordered paneer with peas. So so good. Also I love that they included plenty of rice . I've ordered from other places which they figured out. It was just one person eating so they only gave one container of rice. I like that there was two containers so I could have a couple good meals out of this. So really good bang for the buck. Fast and friendly staff and service for take out. My picture is my plate at my hotel since I got take out.

I was really hungry and on my way to do some grocery shopping at Hannaford Plaza in Delmar. You know that saying about not shopping for groceries on an empty stomach? I decided not to give into that. So I took myself to lunch at Shalimar at the opposite end of the plaza. The restaurant looks very much as I remember it. Clean and comfortable.I haven't been there in a couple of years. I was greeted by a host. It is a buffet so I grabbed a plate and helped myself. There were a lot of great spicy vegan dishes. It wasn't until I reached the end that I realized there were a number of chicken dishes, including tandoori, which I love. I took one piece of chicken from each. A drumstick or a wing. My plate looked quite full. I ate almost everything except I couldn't finish the tandoori drumstick nor the piece of chicken korma. I also had bit of leftover flatbread known as naan. I didn't know you weren't supposed to take leftovers with you at Shalimar but the host said he would give me a container for my food just this once. I certainly didn't want to waste food. The buffet came out to just over $14 and I left a tip. Then, I went to go grocery shopping after a very satisfying meal.

A highlight to an end of a stressful Christmas meal. Can't wait to eat more!
