My family and I visited Shalimar over the weekend after being in the area for the day. We saw a sign that said grand opening and decided to check it out. I think they renovated recently because some of the pictures on yelp for this location look older. When walking past the door you may think it's only a spot for take out and desserts, but if you step further in you see a huge dining area to be seated. The outer area has large display cases with tons of sweets and entree options. There's also a few tables and benches in this area as well. The main dining room is connected to this area. It is very modern. Everything was very clean and the waitresses were very nice. The vibe was lively because of all the groups of families and friends. For drinks, the mocktails on the menu weren't available yet. However, the offered 2 free mint mojitos per table (any after that were to be paid for). So we ordered those and some of us went for the mango lassi. The mango lassi was very smooth and not too sweet. The mint mojito was very refreshing and wasn't overpowered by the mint. Both were delicious. In all we ordered the sweet and sour chicken, shrimp fried rice, fries, mutton charsi karahi, palak paneer, butter chicken, naan (tandoori and garlic), chicken biryani, chicken cheese handi, and aloo paratha. Everything was delicious! The sweet and sour chicken was tender. The shrimp fried rice had a good amount of shrimp and wasn't overly salty. The fries were crispy. The mutton charsi karahi was fall off the bone. The palak paneer was well balanced. The butter chicken was creamy and tender. The naan and aloo paratha were fresh. The chicken biryani was perfectly spiced. The chicken cheese handi was tender as well. You really can't go wrong ordering any of these. I can't choose what my favorite was. I will say some of the item are spicier than others and to just be aware. However, it was nothing too bad. The mango lassi helped to keep the spice level at bay. For desert we got the rasmalai ice cream, tiramisu, and regular rasmalai. The ice cream sounded interesting and it really did taste like rasmalai. I was afraid the flavor would be too weak but it wasn't. The regular rasmalai was good too. The tiramisu was a little icy but it was still good! I would definitely return to try more off the menu. Everything was delicious. We ordered a lot but I'm happy we were able to sample different items. read more
