My wife and I have been coming here for the buffet for a few years and it is always a pleasant experience. The food is top notch and the salad bar is clean. We very much appreciate the opportunity to try new cuisine and have continued to come back occasionally since and it has not disappointed!

We stopped by at this resturant thinking we could relish some Indian food as there aren’t very many in Sherbrooke. There was buffet at that time so we asked if we could order off the menu as the price per person was highly overpriced in comparison to the terrible food options and quality we could see from the buffet . The attendant was extremely rude and told us there were been extra wait for food if chose to do that as the cook would prioritize buffet over serving us. We wouldn’t mind that however he was extremely polite t trying to sell us into going for overpriced buffet option. After looking at other reviews from Indians who know what Indian food looks and tastes like, I’m glad we didn’t waste our hard earned money and instead had Wonderful meal at another authentic quality Indian dine in. Don’t fall for the good here as just by the looks of it, it’s not what Indians consider close to Indianess let alone authentic.

Worst restaurant and extremely rude service. I’m Indian and I could see the food and price they are charging for it is not at all worth. I believe mostly their customers are non-Indian and the restaurant people are for sure taking advantage of it. $42 for buffet? Never heard before, even the best 5 star restaurant won’t charge this much. Please think twice before going there.

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!
Vegetarian options: Many options are vegetarian and just as delicious!
Parking: There are plenty of parking spaces available for everyone and spots for takeout specifically.
Kid-friendliness: While the menu has no kid’s section (that I recall), the staff have been very kind and accommodating to children!
Wheelchair accessibility: There’s a ramp to reach the front door, perfect for those with wheelchairs!

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.
