Abdul is really good in explanation and suggestion. But vegetarian food is not good so food has no star but server - 5 stars

We went to Shalimar for the lunch buffet on September 2, 2025. We found the atmosphere clean and bright, and the service excellent. The 3 star rating is completely due to the food. While the variety of buffet dishes was adequate, we found the flavors to be muted, both in depth of flavor and variety of spiciness. The offerings did not meet the tastiness that we have come to expect from Indian cooking.

I've been eating here for over 20 years. This food is absolutely horrendous take my advice. Stay far away. It's absolutely terrible. It's not the shalamar we all know and if they sold to somebody else they should have let us known $66 down The drain

Rude or Inattentive Staff Staff are not refilling food on the buffet, Delayed response to requests, such as extra or refills. Stale or cold food that has been sitting for too long. • Dishes that lack authentic flavors or are overly greasy. • Limited refills, leaving trays empty for long periods.

It was ok.. not the best Indian around.. flavors are … off? Idk how else to describe it. Got Chana masala and it tastes like cream based sauce & we also got chicken vindaloo and it’s spicy because of chili oil instead of actual spices and peppers. —- have had many Indian locations including more authentic in the city and this was probably the most Americanized Indian I’ve had in a while. Sad

I normally get indian food at another place but decide to try something new but I was pretty disappointed. The portion sizes are very small, although I will say the chicken tikka masala had a lot of chicken in it, but the flavor was also a bit lack luster compared to my go to . The naan also wasn't that great which surprised me.

Delicious buffet for lunch with plenty of vegetarian dishes. There were also chicken dishes for those who require meat. I only wish the lighting was a little brighter. As an older person, it was hard to see what I was eating.

We ordered take out and it was delicious ? The food was ready quickly and we were waited on promptly and courteously. The food was excellent and the portions were large enough for two other meals.
