“Loved the food and the service was excellent. We traveled 45 minutes and IT WAS WORTH THE EFFORT AND EVERY PENNY! In mid 80s I managed an Indian restaurant in long island NY so I know a lil bit about the business. My bill was around $117 and I gave a $40 cash tip. I hope it does get split up amongst the employees who made the excellent food, served and helped clean up after. Thank you kabab hut. Your food/service was excellent.“
“My family and I can't get enough of this place! From December 2023 to January 2024, we went to eat here every week and sometimes 2-3 times a week. That's how much we crave the food here. And the staff are so patient with us. Especially with my teen daughter who has fallen in love with this kind of vegan gluten free Indian food. She keeps going up to the staff asking for the Indian and American version name of each dish or dessert she falls in love with. They're so patiend and kind to her. There was this Indian gentleman that even wrote the name of every dish and dessert for her. We LOVE LOVE LOVE the healthy, but very tasty and exotic Indian fare they offer. And they offer packaged dessert that is hard to fund in other Indian restaurants. It's SO good and delicious. My daughter and I are vegan and gluten free while my husband and son are omnivores. This place is perfect for me and my daughter. However my son and hubby says they don't miss eating meat at all when we eat here, and that their body feels great after. We usually get the Thali (not sure about the spelling), but it's the tray where you can have all the dishes they have in the warming trays, so you get to sample most of their dishes. Someone says this is not a good place to take your wife because of the brown paper roll as napkins and the cafeteria atmosphere. I say this is the best place to take your wife or even a potential boyfriend/girlfriend because you can test how pretentious they are and if they're down to REAL and authentic Indian food experience that is NOT westernized. This place will not give you the westernized romantic posh experience one is looking for. My son and daughter even said that if a girl or boy puts their nose up in the air in this kind of atmosphere then they wouldn't want to date that person. The atmosphere is great--clean, basic and simple, cafeteria style, very warm and friendly staff, and no fuss decoration! You need to remember that when you come here to eat, you're here for the food, culture, and experience. If I can give this place 100 stars I would!Dietary restrictions: This place is vegetarian, however they have lots of vegan options. We are gluten free (gluten sensitive) but not strict meaning we can eat food that's been exposed to gluten as long as we don't eat the food that has the actual gluten. This place gives us that option.“
“Shalimar has consistently delicious indian/pakistani food that is prepared so well! I am Indian so I know my food. It isn’t soaking in grease and doesn’t leave you feeling disgusting and bloated afterward. The food is delicious! The naan is perfect, rice is fluffy, kebabs are cooked so perfectly and tender, and the curry dishes are prepped with a different flavor in each dish that complement beautifully. Most places just throw in different meat in the same sauce and send it out. You can tell they put love and thought into their food.The service is also top notch. The gentleman taking our order was great and made sure we left satisfied. As long as the quality stays this good and service is top notch, we will be back again and again!“
