The food here tends to be filling at a decent price while the service and atmosphere are so-so. I ordered my usual 2-piece seekh kababs and a butter naan. They brought out shaami kababs instead while I am almost positive I had stated seekh kababs, which is what I normally get there. Another 10-15 minutes passed; the correct order was finally brought out and the incorrect order taken away. The cook himself brought it out, staring at me creepily. Anyway, I started to eat and after a while, thought I had bit into a bone or something hard. When I spit it out, it was a flat white plastic bread clip/tab often used to close packets of burger buns, and it wasn't exactly small. I could easily have choked on it or worse, died. At the very least, it could have caused internal bleeding. I immediately asked for the manager and gave him a piece of my mind in a loud, trembling voice, obviously didn't pay and stormed out, letting them know that I have taken pics and can sue them if I want to. I have sworn not to return and warn others to be very careful with the food there if they decide to go.

Shalimar, Woodbridge - Worth the Detour…read more Finding parking in Manhattan can feel nearly impossible--unless you're willing to pay what amounts to a full night's hotel rate just to stop for a short meal. On our way back to DC, we finally decided to stop somewhere more practical where parking wouldn't be a hassle. We ended up in Woodbridge and initially stopped at Shah's. Since my wife and I weren't in the mood for fast food, we asked the staff for a recommendation. Without hesitation, they pointed us to Shalimar, saying it was the best option in the area despite there being several Desi restaurants nearby. After a 10 min drive we arrived with fairly low expectations. The surrounding area felt a bit worn and unremarkable--but the moment we stepped inside, that impression completely changed. The restaurant was clean, modern, and felt recently renovated. Since we still had a long drive ahead, I asked for their specialty dishes. The initial interaction with the staff felt a bit rushed, as if they had somewhere else to be on a Friday night--but we managed to place our order. And then the food arrived. The sizzler was outstanding--perfectly seasoned, incredibly flavorful, and with a texture that really stood out. The chicken was juicy and tender, paired beautifully with buttery naan. The portion was massive--easily enough for four people, and even with our best effort, we still had leftovers. Asked for extra sauce to go but that came in as a no show. We also tried the Chapli kebab, which was equally impressive. Crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and packed with flavor. The combination of red onions and green chili on the side elevated the dish even further. Service was a bit mixed. The younger staff seemed quite busy and not especially attentive, but the manager noticed and stepped in, which improved the experience. Before leaving, we grabbed a mango lassi and a falooda to go--both excellent and perfect for the drive back. Overall, the food, portion sizes, ambiance, and pricing were all outstanding. Even if the service wasn't perfect that evening, the quality of the food alone makes this a place we would absolutely return to when in the area.

While it was good, it tasted quite similar to Chili Paneer. For mains, we ordered the Veg Paneer Biryani, which was outstanding -- definitely one of the best biryanis in town. Dessert was Rasmalai, and it was an absolute highlight. The malai was fresh and spongy, and the ras was thick and flavorful (not watery like at many other restaurants). Easily a 10/10. We had requested medium spice, but their version of medium was still on the spicier side, so I'd recommend specifying your spice level when ordering. Overall, great experience with delicious food. I'm already looking forward to having the Rasmalai again!

They also have a small banquet hall which was good .. I had ordered chicken 65 biryani to go and it was one of the best biryanis I have had in Edison NJ area . Loved the spice .. fantastic flavor .. the raitha was very watery . Wish they made it more solid .. the biryani side dish saerva was also too liquidy and didn't have any flavor . It was still a worth biryani. Quantity was so much . 2 people can probably have 1 biryani. Was about 22$ for biryani .. liked it overall. Will visit back and try other stuff ... 4 stars ....

It's the kind of place you can stop by and be guaranteed fresh, flavorful food every time.

Rich, perfectly spiced, and incredibly satisfying, it's a dish I keep coming back for. If you're looking for reliable, delicious Indian food in a busy area, this spot is a must-try.

Great, let's try this. Unfortunately, we reached around 1045 PM and it was almost closing time, and upon entering, the owner said- sir we have only veg, chicken & Mutton dum biryani, nothing else. Fine, anyway we were here only for biryanis, but a couple of appetizers could not have harmed. Nevertheless, we ordered these 3 types of biryanis- Quick service (no one was there except us), got the biryanis.

From outside I really thought it was a Chinese or Asian restaurant.. I went in and found out that it's Bengali restaurant.. also a Bangladeshi cuisine.. went a little late after 2:30 PM.. not many inside eating. There were a lot of tables and chair to sit and eat . Service was good... ambience was ok . Lots of parking outside... Didn't have much options like thali .. the guy offered me rice with chicken curry and I said ok . it was quick . The chicken curry was very bland and not spicy at all. No flavor or aroma of a delicious Indian chicken curry . I was actually disappointed. Quantity was also slightly less for the quantity of rice . Since it is Bengali restaurant, not sure if it is famous for fish ! I don't eat fish though . Thank god I ordered Rosh gullas. Rasa gulla was absolutely awesome and didn't make me leave with a sad face . Sweets are truly recommended on this restaurant. Overall a very average experience . Wanted to give 2 stars but gave a 3 star , for the rosh gulla :)
