When previously traveling to San Francisco, I instantly craved Indian food shortly after settling in my hotel. It was a decent walking distance from my hotel to here. The staff was friendly and cooked my orders well. Their chicken and rice with Nan bread were my favorite.
Always great food. Nice people. This is in the gritty tenderloin. The restaurant is not fancy. Can you deal with that? Then go get it!
Best Indian/Pakistani restaurant I’ve been to in the Bay Area.

Shalimar Restaurant serves truly delicious Pakistani food with generous serving sizes and huge naan bread. The menu features unique dishes like Haleem and Nihari, with the Paneer Tikka Masala being flavorful with a hint of sweetness. Diners often praise the food for being hot and tasty, with the right amount of spice. With free tea provided while waiting, Shalimar is a go-to spot for many seeking authentic Pakistani cuisine. While some find the food overly greasy, there is an outstanding selection of Halal options. The restaurant displays true Pakistani hospitality by offering free salad, mint sauce, and tea after the meal. The atmosphere may not be the focus, and some customers have noted issues with cleanliness, including flies and dirty tables. However, the self-serve nature and take-out options cater to those who come for the food. Vegetarian options are available, and diners can enjoy free chai, onions, lemon, mint chutney, and sweet chutney. The Alu Palak is highly recommended, and the naans, including the Potato Naans, are described as out of this world. Seekh Kabab and Chicken Tikka are also highlighted as must-tries. Shalimar is a welcoming place, open until 11:00 PM.
