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

Now I'm already anxious to head over to their restaurant. Typically, I'm not someone who orders rice dishes, but their tandoori chicken completely changed my mind. The sauce tied everything together beautifully and made the whole dish incredibly flavorful. I can't wait to bring my gluten-free mom there because I know she'll love it too. I also had the chance to try their vegetable samosa -- a delicious crispy fried pastry filled with a savory potato and veggie mixture. It honestly reminded me of a flavorful Indian-style stuffing. I would absolutely order both again. Great service at the stand, friendly staff, and they truly know how to make comforting Indian cuisine.

The transaction was smooth, if not particularly friendly. One thing I think is worth noting, particularly if (like me) you're not very familiar with Indian food; is that very little of the menu is vegan. There are several items on the menu specifically labelled "vegetarian" (technically true) that contain yogurt and/or butter. Anybody avoiding dairy might want to get confirmation of the ingredients of what they're ordering. Overall I'm pretty satisfied, and will probably be back again.

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!)

Being of Indian origin myself, I haven't found many places that taste as authentic as Inchin's Indian Kitchen. I would definitely recommend this spot if you want to try authentic-tasting Indian food. The place is clean, and the food options are easy to read and displayed clearly behind glass so you can see what's available before ordering. I especially loved the Coconut Chicken Curry from this place. If anyone knows another place in Buffalo that makes a great Coconut Chicken Curry, please share. I'd love to try. There's not much to say about the service since the restaurant doesn't have its own dining area, but the Walden Galleria food court has plenty of seating.

I also want to say, although this is my first time trying their food as I have a favorite spot already, I have picked up other deliveries here and the staff is always very kind! You can dine in as well and the ambience is dark and warm with dark woods. As for the food itself, it wasn't my favorite, but nothing was terribly wrong with it either. I found the korma and especially the karahi more thin than I prefer. I like the "sauce" thicker in consistency. Also, the top note of spices was not my favorite ... but taste is subjective and this is just my personal preference. However, they were generous with the chicken! The vegetable biryani was lacking in veggies too. There were a few peas and mostly chunks of cauliflower. It just sort of missed the mark for me. But I wouldn't advise anyone not to go there or anything; the business has been around for quite a while! It just wasn't my personal favorite given my other choices but I wanted to try a new place for Indian food. Prices were pretty much on par with other Indian restaurants in the area.
