I can’t say enough good things about Shalimar, my go-to spot for a delicious meal every two weeks. From the moment you step inside, the atmosphere is warm and inviting, making it the perfect place to unwind. The food here is absolutely phenomenal! Each dish is always cooked to perfection. The staff truly makes this place stand out.It’s my favorite spot, and I can’t recommend it enough!

When my wife first came to Canada, I took her to Shalimar. I knew the service was exceptional, the selection at the buffet is simply delicious and the atmosphere is relaxing, perfect for a romantic getaway! I’d been there years ago - a buffet for my friend’s birthday, and remembered it vividly. I’ll admit I bit off more than I could chew on that date (vindaloo chicken is spicy and I wanted to impress my fiancée) but we still had a wonderful time. Yet it was coming back nearly every Wednesday or Thursday since our wedding to get some of the à la carte menu that we began truly appreciating this wonderful place. We learned from our server Tim - shoutout to Tim, you’re awesome - that the kitchen is suited with a genuine tandoori oven and the recipes are family traditions, even homemade! You’re not getting anymore authentic in the Eastern Townships. Is it a little pricey? Sure, a little bit, but for quality like this, I’m willing to pay through the nose! The food is succulent, their butter chicken being a personal favourite, with generous portions that leave you full and happy. The staff is pleasant and professional - thank you again Tim - and the restaurant is warm, inviting and relaxing! You’ll find me and my wife in Shalimar as often as we can and we hope to see you there as well!

Excellent service with very friendly and deeply professional staff. Food is always amazing. While a touch pricey as compared to other places, the quality of the food and service are worth every cent. Try the samosas (veggie or meat), they’re fantastic.
Wednesdays and Thursdays are ideal days to visit. Other days are buffet, which is excellent also. However, if you want to experience the full menu, Wed and Thu are best!
Vegetarian options: The vegetarian options appear pretty broad. The veggie samosas in particular are quite nice.

If you haven't tried this restaurant yet, you gotta go now. The butter chicken and the naan bread are to die for. The service is awesome.

Traveling through on the way to the States and was very impressed with Shalimar. Quite busy but staff was wonderful. Menu a little limited but lots of food per order. Lamb dish was fabulous. They accomodated our English. Would eat here again.

Very disappointed. Really mediocre food, minute rice, very dull atmosphere. Expensive for low quality. It was the first and last time.
I wanted to order a vegetarian dish It was my first visit and the last I was suggested to order another dish almost $9 more under the pretext that the cook was running out of time
So I ordered the dish they mentioned to me
There was almost nothing on the plate It was very ordinary,! the beans were not good, there was a yogurt sauce with nothing accompanying it?? Really weird??? I usually go to Indian restaurants in Montreal where the food is excellent.
I found the price very high: $26 for almost nothing on the vegetarian plate.
the 2nd waitress was much more competent and kind than the first
I will never go to this restaurant again, the prices are very high and it was not good at all
I asked to speak to the manager, I was told she was busy, they did not agree to compensate me
The bill was very high for almost nothing on the plate

1st time, last time. We are from Lennoxville and we will clearly give bad publicity..
We call at 6:15 p.m. Our plate will be ready at 7:15 p.m. We accept.
Arrived, the wait is 15 minutes. Leave there with a bill of more than $26 for a “take-out”. The problem is not the price.. but the disappointment of what we see.
19:35 here is what we unpack (see photo). There are 13 small shrimps inside the sauce. No vegetables…nothing. Sauced shrimp.
I'm calling to see if anything is missing from my order. Nothing is settled. I speak to a (friendly) employee but do not refer to the boss.
Seems like that's what I ordered. I ask: but where is the salad? See photo of the menu. No salad. It's the yogurt pot.
In short, I told them that it was the first and last time. Especially since they don't even compensate.
False advertising on their menu. This is not correct and misleading. Illegal even.
I will even go to denounce.
I'm still waiting for explanations. You can write to me again below to discuss it and I will most likely remove my comment following explanations.

Calling at 4:15 p.m. to have an order prepared, only to be told it will be ready at 5:30 p.m. Arrives at 5:30pm and it's not ready, has to wait another 15 minutes. Arrives at our house and receives a call to tell me to bring the order back because they didn't give me the right one. In short, never, it's a shame because it tastes good. We'll go to masala cafe instead.
