07/15/2026: Update: Another great meal at As-Salam! It's…read morethe kind of experience where we turn to each other and say, "We don't come here often enough!" We started with the lentil soup, boiling hot and full of lemon juice and black pepper. Mango lassis for both of us, and when we asked for tap water, we were given an entire pitcher of ice water for the table, with two cups. My husband ordered lamb handi, cubes of tender meat in a thick gravy with tomatoes, onions and green peppers. He had ordered it "Medium spicy", but I think the kitchen was grading on a curve: It was less punchy than the soup. Still, I wouldn't order "Hot" as I once did here: The chef takes pride in his liberal use of peppers at this level. (The menu warns you: "This is a dish for stronger constitutions"). My lamb shashlik was char grilled on a skewer (thoughtfully removed prior to serving) with slices of tomato, onions and green peppers, plated on a sizzling iron plate. The chunks of lamb had been marinated: They were so tender! The garlic naan? Fresh from a tandoor oven, with a little char, lots of butter and garlic, and a little parsley. It was so fresh and good! After the meal our waiter asked us if we would like tea, but I couldn't have eaten anything more (though I strongly recommend their creamy rice pudding!)

Great flavors. Comfortable booths and a warm home type atmosphere. Ordered a lamb tandoori. It…read morecomes baked in a pot with bread over the top. Great taste, but there wasn't much lamb. For an extra $2 upcharge to get lamb I would have liked more. It was mostly bread and rice. The rice was excellent! Super flavorful. It took a while to get service and the water is bottled water. Not complimentary like most restaurants. No ice or glasses. Despite these quirks, I would absolutely return to try other items. Worth a stop!

Well, on the positive side, I had a really nice time in good company. The restaurant was clean,…read morerather spacious, and I certainly appreciated the white tablecloths. We sat at a round table that perfectly fit our group of seven. It was a very comfortable setting, so we could talk freely. We came for "Buffet Night Wednesday," served from 4:30 to 9:00 p.m. Around 6:30 p.m., I felt like we were late to the party and should have been grateful there was still some food left. We knew a large group of 25 people would be coming for the buffet that day, but I didn't think it would be a problem. The buffet looked kind of sad to me. I managed to sample almost everything, even Goat Curry. Everyone said it was very good. I passed on the Samosas (not too appetizing looking). Also, I didn't want to commit to the whole piece of Tandoori Chicken, so I checked the Chicken 65 instead. It was nothing like I had tried before, but the bite size pieces were good, plus it wasn't really spicy. Everyone's favorite, Butter Chicken, was very tasty. I had only a small piece of chicken. When I went back for another one, it was gone, only the sauce remained. I think just one dish was refilled during our entire stay. I was hoping for fresh Samosas, but it didn't happen. The Tofu dish was one of my favorites. Luckily, there were just a few pieces hanging around, so there was no risk I could overeat at this particular buffet. For dessert, I had a little white pudding. It was a generic dish you'll find in every Asian buffet, nothing special. We learned that the ownership had changed, but it seemed like it was still a family business. The children were supposed to clean up the dirty dishes, but they didn't. We were surrounded with dirty plates, and none of the employees seemed to care. This was my first visit to Shalimar BBQ & Grill, and I can't compare my experience to previous quality. I can't complain about the taste and flavor, really, but the entire buffet was missing something. Maybe the food? :)

Went here with a few of our friends to check out their weekly buffet. It's my first time here since…read morethey hosted an event for Yelp. Sorry it took me so long to return. I really enjoyed the Goat Curry & the Aloo Gobi. I thought most of the other dishes could have used more heat. I took a samosa but not sure why. It was very dark & dried out. We found out while there that they're under new management. Going from Southern Indian to now Afghani. That might explain the difference in spices. Everyone was friendly but the service lacked a bit with no one cleaning up the dirty dishes or asking if we needed more naan or water. I'm on the fence with this review 3.5 to 4 so I'll go up to 4. 2025-64

Lastly, a carefully curated menu with dishes that pack an intense flavor and warm the heart. Oh yes, they have a plethora of both spirited and non-spirited drinks so no one gets left out. They rotate the drinks often to keep things interesting. Everyone I have taken or referred has fell in with this spot. Including my 17 year old nephew and my 4 year son!! So please get there !! Also, my absolute faves right now are the udon noodles and wheat noodles with the black bread ....your welcome.

Absolutely delicious. If you like pasta and stir fry style food - this is the place for you…read more Went here with a group of 8 on a Saturday night. Wasn't super packed. We were seated right away. We did have reservations, but we didn't see anyone waiting all night. We got lots of appetizers to split amongst the table: the mushroom dumplings, cucumber salad, one of each of the fresh rolls, 1000 broccoli, and some type of bread with cheese that I'm actually not sure what it was called and after looking at their menu again I can't find it, but I'm attaching a picture for reference. I would absolutely get the bread and the broccoli again. Those were our tables favorites. Everything else was still delicious. I got the chicken and broccoli lomein, large size, medium spice. The spice level was great. The portion size was very generous and I took home leftovers. I will say they do charge you $3 for the large size to get a mix of chicken and broccoli so be aware of that. The waitress did warn us which I appreciate. I did enjoy the lomein noodles. I tried our friend's hand cut noodles and udon. They were all great and everyone enjoyed their meal. Our waitress was super kind and helpful. With a large group she handled us very well. She even split the bill multiple ways which we appreciated since I know that can be a pain. They forgot our friend's rice dish so she sat there for a while with no meal while the rest of us ate. After a while we notified the staff and they apologized and brought it out quickly and even took it off her bill without her asking which I was very impressed with. Most places would not do that. They did also charge .50 for going up a spice level which was interesting but not a huge deal. Also be prepared to sit for a while. We were a large group so understandable things take a while. We were there for a total of 2 hours and 45 minutes and that was just from the time we sat until we got the check. It seemed like our waitress was in charge of most of the restaurant. Besides those few things that went wrong I thought the service and quality of food made up for it.

Great South Asian restaurant with plenty of options. I did asked who was Mister Dee, curious as…read moreit's a weird combo menu, well I was not aware Mister Dee was the restaurant there before they bought the place. Great marketing to leave them on there and the menu for people who were familiar with Dees. Spot is a cute vibe. Tons of TVs, spacious and even has a Majlis area, which we happily sat in! Even though I needed to people help me back up, the experience was fun! The service was top notch. Two woman took care of us. Super friendly and helpful, as we had some questions on the food. Kind wish they always put pictures of the food on the menu so you at least get an idea of what the dish is when you not familiar with the dishes. But, she was very helpful and super nice. The food.. excellent! Serving sizes are large. The food came out piping hot, fresh and again delicious. We started with the chilli chicken and chicken Pakora. They came out with three side sauces, not sure what they were but all three were tasty. The chilli chicken was white meat chicken, super flavorful with a nice spice level. The fry on the pakora was good and seasoned well also. For my meal I went with the paneer butter masala. This dish was amazing. Came with a side of rice which was cooked and seasoned perfectly. There butter masala is so dam good! I'm a big cheese girl so I went with the paneer, just YUMMMMM. Dipped it with garlic naan, which again so good. The naan was crispy on outside and nice soft on the inside with just right amount of garlic. We also got the sesame naan which was good as well. My two friends for there meals went with the Chicken Tikka and the Chicken Haleem, they both loved. Our server over heard it was my birthday lunch so she brought us out Gulan Jamun. I would describe these delicious balls as like a mix between a donut and cake? It was good. It came out nice and warm and the balls are soaked with some sort of honey mixture. The bites actually tasted little like French toast to me, but again whatever they were they were delicious. I'm not a sweets person, and this was just the right level for my likin

Once the people stepped behind the screens, we could not see or hear them. An authentic experience. on the opposite side of the restaurant from where we were seated is a seating area where you can sit on the carpeted floor and eat at low tables. We enjoyed, for ~ $20.00, Pani Puri (Gol Gappa), Chicken Seekh Kabab (Single), Bindi Masala and plain paratha. We later added an order of barfi, which sounds disgusting but is an interesting dessert. My friend, who used to live in Pakistan, did the ordering, but both of us loved every bite. it's a bit out of the way, but well-lit parking lot and well worth your money!

Amazing Philadelphia rolls with crab meat - not usually an option at other restaurants - but gives me a chance to eat sushi while pregnant! Much appreciated!!! The mango roll was ok- I think I would pass on it next time. The soup was soooooo good, so much tofu, so many green onions. And the ginger salad was really really fresh and tasty. Wish they had a southtowns location so I could order it once a week!

We had a great dinner here the other night. The owners are super friendly and the food is…read moredelicious. We had the chicken 65 (medium), butter chicken (medium), pea pulau, garlic naan and strawberry lassi. Everything was super fresh and huge portions. We took home at least half of the meal. The chicken 65 was what I would consider an "American medium" spice level; not super hot but had a little kick. The butter chicken wasn't spicy at all but was rich and creamy. The rice was a good surprise, it had a buttery/garlicky flavor of its own and wasn't at all bland. The garlic naan was thin and very garlicky, so it won't fill you up too fast. The lassi was really good, the owner makes the yogurt from scratch and they had about a dozen flavors you could choose from. I suspect it is hard to go wrong. We are only in town one week a year but I look forward to keeping Rosie's in our rotation. The service is excellent and the price for all we ordered was about $65 before tip, which since we got a couple more meals out of it was quite reasonable. Check them out, I doubt you will be disappointed!
