“This restaurant is so good. Far and away the best Indian food in Clifton park. Authentically spicy!We have been ordering delivery via grubhub every month for a year now and yesterday was our first time dining in. The delivery does not do the food justice at all!! The naan was cooked perfectly, the biryani was so flavorful with perfect acidity and tender gigantic pieces of chicken. Great food and I hope more people get to try it!“
“I was CRAVING chicken Kashmiri bad tonight but my husband is not a big fan of the spice in traditional Indian food. As a compromise, we settled on Galleria 7 in Latham, a multi-ethnic food market with excellent vendors, including @Shalimar express.I called around 5 to ask if Shalimar express makes chicken Kashmiri. The nice man answered, told me no and respectfully hung up the call. Within five minutes, the owner, Leo, called me back to tell me that although they do not have chicken Kashmiri as a menu item, they were able to make a modified version and call is chili chicken. We arrived around 615 and Leo greeted us with a smile and a “it was you!!!” He proceeded to explain how he would custom make a dish for me and would make it suitable for my dietary needs. He really didn’t not have to but this man went above and beyond to make sure I had a great experience.We received the food within 15 minutes and it was DELICIOUS. The chicken was soft and tender, the garlic naan was flavorful and the veggies were absolute perfection. My husband had the Curry chicken and loved every bite. Leo even came and spoke to us about his history, his family and his love for serving his friends.We never post on this page but Leo made this experience such a memorable one. He went far beyond great customer service and truly the food was Amazing. If you are ever in all Latham, give them a try.“
“Absolutely delish Indian food! It has become my husband and I's go to for Indian dinner. Best tandoori chicken I've ever had...the Naan and Kormas are very yummy! Man at the counter always has a smile! Can't recommend enough!“
“Awesome food. I had a little trouble finding the place as it was in a nearby town in a food court. Once found, thr food was delicious. Some of the best samosas I've had and I asked for the chicken tikka masala spicy amd it was perfect. The owner was the first one on the area to open the other Shalimar Indian restaurants in the area and he told me he had sold them all and opened this place. I was telling him that the quality had gone down at the other places and this place was better. Next time if I'm not so hungry I would get take out. I only wish that this place was closer and that I had a little more tikka sauce bc it was that good!!“
“Whoah what a hidden gem. My bf wanted to try this place and it did not disappoint. We ordered the duck curry and Chicken Tikka..delish! We watched him make the naan as we were waiting for our order. There is no sit down dining so call ahead for takeout as we waited quite a while. We were behind a gentlemen who said he travels 20 miles regularly for this place so that speaks volumes.“
“I enjoyed eating at this restaurant. The food was good. The chicken over rice was delicious and scrumptious to eat. The mango lassi was well made puree and the Roghni Naan was crispy, tasty and delicious. The host and cooks are hospitable and very attentive!“
“I love the food and the service is great! Lots of great options, including vegetarian. It's absolutely great no matter what you've ordered you can expect it to be delicious. My favorite thing here is extra spicy genuinely means spicy. A lot of places act like a slight kick means "extra" spicy when it's a true mild at best. I love this place.“
“Amazing delicious food.So many great spices and flavors. Restaurant and cooks need more credit definitely. They’re so kind here and if you ordered something you have an allergy to in the dish they will let you know, even call you back.Dietary restrictions: Let them know and they will accommodate! So great“
“Absolutely delicious. Specially if you're Bangladeshi, this restaurant will HIT THE SPOT. OK it's not 100% Bangladeshi but this is as close as you'll get in Upstate NY. I got the mutton biryani and kala bhuna and although it can't match the stuff you get in Bangladesh this is definitely a worthy effort. Great chef THANK YOU!! Can't wait to try the rest of the food!!Other than the restaurant/menu items, it is an awesome grocery store as well, great selection of variety of rice (especially if you're looking for chinigura, kalijeera, basmati, mohonbhog, kataribhog etc. rice) and spices.“
“I like the fact that there is open buffet between the hours of 11am-2pm. It's nice to go and grab some lunch while there's the option to get a quick buffet. The location offers a great parking spot as well as the option to take what you need to go. The cost for it is $16. The restaurant is close to Latham and is a not too far a drive away. If you're looking to get some Indian food in the local area stop by here in Latham to grab a bite to eat.“
“This place is amazing! Get here now! Had the lamb and chicken kofta platter. The spices were perfect. Also ordered the best babaganoush I've ever had (and I am well traveled), then an order of grape leaves that were great. The sauces tzatziki and some kind of red hot sauce were, you guessed it, amazing. The pita was made to order as well. My mom got a lamb gyro, not typical from my experience, it seems more like a shawarma, but I'll be ordering that again as well.“
