    Great place for authentic Pakistani cuisine. I tried their nihari & beef minced kabob. Nicely grilled and savory. See the picture. I will definitely go again.

    Fat chunks no meat

    Horrible Horrible. I ordered the goat kahari spicy and it was just salty and with a bit of spiciness. Filled with fat chunks, very little goat meat, mostly bones. For $19. I expect more. I couldn't eat it, just annoyed, hungry and I had high hopes. Never again. I hope uver refunds me. Waste of $30 and my time. They didn't even bother to give napkins or cutlery.

    One of our current go to spots is Desi Curry we have been there a few times now and have tried a variety of dishes from halwa puri, Nihari and desi breakfast items to the non-veg thali. Everything tastes incredibly fresh and homemade. The parathas, especially, are to die for so flaky, buttery, and full of flavor. Highly recommend! They open mostly at 7am and offer halwa puri breakfast 7 days a week. 10/10 recommend it.

    Came here for desi breakfast and it did not disappoint! Eveything was so fresh and felt like an authentic home cooked Pakistani breakfast. Not many Pakistani restaurants in Sacramento offer so much variety for breakfast and this really sets them apart. Owners were extremely friendly as well. Definitely will be back for more!

    Chicken cochi, chicken tikka masala, falooda, garlic naan

    Absolutely incredible food. The area isn't great, but this place is worth it. Super friendly staff and other patrons too! We got the chicken cochi and the chicken tikka masala curries, with garlic naan, and I also got a falooda (vanilla ice cream sundae with vermicelli). Fantastic flavor in the curries and naan. We've been to a lot of places where the naan was really bland or the curry was all oil, this place isn't that. If you're looking for serious comfort food and good people, go to Desi Curry.

    Friday night, buffet $17.95. Worth it! You get to sample chicken biryani, chicken curry, butte…read morechicken, tandoori chicken, chickpeas (not sure the name), pakora, spring roll samosas, plain rice, minty chutney, another sauce, fruits, pasta and more. Plus, chai masala to wash the food down. Not bad at all for the price. I If you're craving for several tasting of Indian cuisines, go for the buffet. Friendly service, good food.

    Ordered $60 worth of takeout -Chicken Biryani…read more-Chicken Tikka Masala -Aloo Palak -Garlic Naan -Side of Rice The chicken biryani was an absolute disaster and quite possibly the worst I have ever eaten in my life. Pieces of flavorless boneless chicken chunks thrown in with rice. It is not biryani. No chutney, no raita, no salan. The chicken was so dry, we couldn't eat it. The picture is what we threw away. It gave the entire house stomach issues. 0/5 stars -Go to Curry Leaves in Rocklin Chicken Tikka Masala was super sweet with old chicken. The chicken was mushy like a baked potato. It's tikka masala, not tikka gulab jamun. I honestly think they served the chicken from the day old or longer buffet. Never again, more stomach issues. 0/5 stars -Go to Shalimar in Natomas Aloo Palak was edible but little to no flavor. 2/5 stars -Go anywhere else Garlic Naan was not garlic. It was plain with butter. 1/5 stars. -Go anywhere else I hate to leave this review, but if you have eaten at a quality Indian restaurant, cafe, chaat house, or even hole in the wall you would realize the overwhelming disappointment in flavor, preparation, pricing and commitment to quality. The kicker, guy that handed me the food said we are making it all fresh for you right now...these were leftovers from their buffet I suspect. Sad I had to post, would love a quality Indian option in the area, you will have to drive elsewhere. I challenge those that love this place to measure it against Trader Joe's frozen entree options. ¼ of the price, more flavor and tastes fresher...which is crazy for me to say, I know, but try it. Extremely disappointed patron....oh and don't use the left door, you will walk right into their Open Hours sign face first...saw a man do it on his way out. I wish I saw Monica's review before mine, but Yelp decides to default to the best reviews first. Yikes!!

    Shalimar in South Sac is a solid Pakistani restaurant…read more.. This place has been around for a while and is part of a small chain you will also find in the Bay Area and around Sacramento. Some locations have come and gone over the years, but this South Sac spot has stayed pretty consistent. The food is classic Pakistani style. Nothing fancy, just straightforward, well-executed dishes. I have had a lot of their menu and most of it hits. The kabobs are always a strong choice, the biryani is flavorful and satisfying, and the chicken tikka masala is decent. Not the best I have ever had, but definitely solid enough to enjoy. It is not mind blowing food, but it is reliable. You know what you are getting, and more often than not, it delivers. One thing I will say is that not all locations are the same. The Natomas one, for whatever reason, just does not hit the same. This South Sacramento location is the one to go to if you want a good experience. The vibe is pretty casual and no frills, which fits the food. Area is a bit rough but that's to be expected in this part of town. Overall, if you're craving solid Pakistani food in Sacramento, this is a dependable spot. Not elite, but very consistent and worth coming back to.
