Food's decent but not necessarily authentic. Staff is constantly on the phone or seems bored of you. I only go here when I'm absolutely craving Indian/paki food and don't wanna drive too far. Never dined in however. read more

Have been coming here for years, the halwa/chana puri is amazing! Decor and atmosphere is not the best, but that is not what you come here for, it's the food! read more

Shalamar Restaurant - Aloo, chana & halwa puri - Pakistani Near Me - Webster, Texas

This place is where I first discovered my new found love for Pakistan, Indian food! The entrees are superb, they all have the right amount of spice, and love in them. The woman that owns the place is such a sweet heart! We always feel welcomed, and we always leave stuffed, but wanting more! Love love love this place! read more

Great portions and very quick to get my food to me! The food was cooked to perfection and such big portions! The only thing I will see is the chicken tikka masala is much more tomatoey than what I am used to but still really good! Great price for the food! read more

The inside Isn't anything to write home about. But the service is quick and the food is good and very consistent. I really like the goat vindaloo or the chicken Marsala. They also have really good pakora. Best Indian food in clear lake read more

Great authentic indian food. I usually get the chicken tikka masala but I've tried other things on the menu and they were all great. You order at the counter and they bring the food to your table. The portions are usually big enough for two people if you're not too hungry. read more

We were worried when we found it bc it doesn't look all that impressive but the food was very yummy and there was plenty of it. Definitely going to do our take-away from them in the future. read more

Just moved here from Los Angeles and can say that this place is the first outside of India that gets Byriani right! Delicious. The vast majority of patrons are South-Asian, which speaks highly of the food's flavor and authenticity. read more

The place looks ok... But food was good quality and tasted brilliant. If you are here, get the biriyani... Best I have tasted around here

Clean and friendly restaurant with very good cuisine. For my first visit I ordered Tikka Masala, rice and naan. Everything was hot and tasted fresh. The masala sauce was quite zesty, which I enjoyed very much. The prices are very good and portions are also fairly generous. I ate as much as I could and still am taking a meal home. I will be back and I plan on bringing friends. read more

I'm impressed with this little Indian restaurant. We ordered chicken masala, fish masala and chicken biryana. All are very good. However it's a bit too spicy but flavorful. The naan is huge, its same as a small pizza. We didn't expect that so we order too much. Definitely will come back again. read more

Great food. Everything i have tried i enjoyed...the only reason i stopped going is because they do not remove the bones so entire time your eating your scared your about to chomp on a tiny bone and crack a tooth. I couldnt enjoy my chicken curry because of this. So i recromend mogul much better and theirs no bones. read more

The restaurant was very dirty. Sticky tables. Had a samosa chaat and tea. Won't come here again. read more

Like many independent restaurateurs, these guys are getting by on a wing and a prayer. If you like chains a lot, this is not the place for you. If you like adventurous dining, especially in foreign food, give this place a couple of tries. The location is old and dingy but not, as someone said, dirty. The staff is family and they are friendly to talk to. While I agree that it is best to present a smile to the public, it is just not in their culture or, for that matter, most cultures other than our own. One drawback is that they serve only cool water - no ice! On the other hand, the naan (bread) is cooked when you order it and it is absolutely delicious. We have tried most of the dishes and have liked everything. The sweets are yummy, too. Give it a try! read more

Yum - had to try this spot and wasn't disappointed. Had the chicken tikka masala, naan, samosas, and goat biryani. The naan is huge, soft, delicious... the samosas were a great starter.. and the masala was piping hot with just enough sweet and spice. The goat biryani was tasty, but we are bigger on meat than rice, so wouldn't get it again. We will definitely be frequenting here for the masala and naan and to try more items! read more

Very good and authentic north Indian food. I got a wide variety of dishes and v they were all excellent. I highly recommend this place and will be getting more food from them tonight. Make sure to try the dessert and mango lessi too. read more

Food taste is great. I would recommend take outs if u dont like the ambience. Lot of variety in the menu for a reasonable prices.

Got home with my food and no rice...what the heck? Let me know on the phone if your dishes don't come with rice. Really bad service. Won't be back. read more

The place is simple. But the food is good. We love Indian food, (not Indian) The people are nice. We eat the Goat dish at least once a week. Thank you for being there. Originally from Los Angeles and love food choices. read more

I always think of ordering something different whenever I eat here but I always decide on the goat quorma because it's so good. Nice people very quiet. read more

I order take out from here when I don't feel like cooking at home. The food is healthier than other eating-out options, yummy, good portion sizes, good price, and good variety. It meets the various dietary needs in my family. I eat halal/zabiha only. I had family visit from out of town and some are vegetarian or vegan. This place had good regular menu options for all of us and my family also really enjoyed the food. They are open until 11pm, which has helped for some late night eating options when other restaurants are closed. read more

one of the best hidden gems in the clear lake area for seemingly authentic (i say that because i'm not ethnically indian or pakistani but can taste good food when served) indian/pakistani cuisine. nestled in a no-nonsense, no frills retail strip center, this place can be easily missed. the food was very tasty and well done. we started with some pakora and mint chutney. then i ordered her the mango lassie (fantastic mango flavored yogurt drink). she had the vegetarian plate and i had goat vindaloo (one of my faves) over vegetable biryani (she shared with me from her veggie plate since the portions are generous) partnered with garlic nan. excellent all around. GO ALREADY for yummy Indian/Pakistani food! read more

We love this place!!!! It is probably the closest Indianish restaurant to UTMB Galveston. When my husband was in the hospital after surgery, I needed him to eat, and he certainly would not do that with hospital food. Each day I asked him what he was in the mood for, and each day I would go get it. When he said Indian, of course it was not buffet time, and many restaurants close between lunch and dinner service. We had eaten here once before, same kind of problem time wise, and enjoyed the food, so I knew about it, and was more than pleased to go back. I ordered a bit of a bunch of stuff- from samozas to naan, rice to shish kebabs to chicken. Everything was wonderful, spicy, fresh, flavorful. Ignore the fact that they barely speak English. Ignore the fact that they look at you a bit funny because you will probably be the only non "ethnic" person in the place. Enjoy the flavors that sing on your palate, the fact that the dishes are made in a "darn you we will make it like we make it at home, and we don't care whether your American senses like it or not" manner. I hope they never change!!!!! I told them we love raita with the naan, and asked if they could give me a "serving" extra, so I got about a liter of the stuff, with a smile, and a somewhat dubious look. The lady asked if I thought that would be enough, because she did not have any more. I think something was lost in translation, because I never asked for a liter, but I certainly was not going to try to back out of it. No idea of how to gracefully. We did manage to sop up a great deal of it, and we shared the rest at the hospital. This place makes me smile just thinking about it! read more

Nice service and good prices. There catering is good. Like the veggie variety. Grill items are good too. Must try it.

I only ever come here when I'm picking up up pizza from Dan's Pizza and its always desserts or some samosas. I've cant really compare their desserts to other Pakistani restaurants since this is the only one I've ever been to, but they're really tasty here. The samosas are only filled with some flavored potatoes and i prefer them with meat in then, but potato filled ones are pretty good too. The sauce they give you for samosas is very nice too. Maybe next time I'm in the area I'll actually try a real meal from this place. read more

This is a great place to grab some delicious homemade food. The goat vindaloo is fantastic. They have great pakoras and garlic naan. The price is very reasonable. Just note, everything is a la carte. read more

First off the Service sucked. The lady that took our order was rude. We asked for some sauce and took her 30 minuets to get it after asking 3 times (no it wasn't busy there was one other table). Then the food was cold and the rice was very dry. Pretty disappointed. Will not be coming back. Going to stick with eating at Mogules Indian restaurant. read more

Had a 1 hour lunch and they took most of it to make a veggie platter solely consisting of 3 main items at the price of $16. Never coming here again. read more

It's a very nice place to hang out with family and friends. Very friendly, welcoming environment. Love their samosas. Chat. Bar b q platter. Chai is good as well. read more

They have really great halwa puri on weekends (Sat/Sun after 10am). Each to go order is well packed with 3 puris, halwa, channas and spicy aloos. Well worth the trip here for it. I ordered early in the day in person and took around 15 minutes for them to fulfill the order which isn't long but it may be worth ordering on the phone if time is an issue. Their naans also taste great. Also, there is a very beautiful park (Walter Hall Park) with river front benches a few miles south on Galveston Road that would make any breakfast truly memorable! read more

Good place to have snacks .. Samosas are really good .. I liked the briyani but it too oily ..

Great place!!! Great food!!! Great prices!!! I really like that they have plenty of vegan options. Like Dahl and Chana Masala. They're vegetable samosas are to die for and cheap to boot. Very nice people too. Ignore the drab decor and enjoy the food. read more

I have been craving samosas for months now. I had some on a road trip from a little indian gas station. I was kinda leery of it, but was craving something other than McDonalds or Dennys so I tried it. They were so wonderful. Back in Houston, I've been searching for similar samosas ever since. Then I found Shalamar. SO disappointed. Too much pastry and too little filling. I ended up peeling off the breading just for the filling. I ordered one of the combos that includes chicken. Unfortunately, the chicken was so overcooked that I mainly just got bones with no meat on them. Seriously, 7 bones and maybe 3 had something edible on them. As for the rest of the food, it was good, but wasn't what was listed on the menu. I didn't even receive the Aloo Gobi that was advertised. Not being as familiar with Indian food names, I'm not sure what I did receive. The menu offers 6 different items in this combo. I received 4. Sigh.... I really wanted this place to be better. read more
