I ordered it to go. Everything was well packaged; sealed with plastic wrap, no items missing. 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.

I ordered my two favorite dishes Chicken Makhani and Palak Paneer with rice and naan for takeout. The makhani was very sweet and not a lot of flavor beyond tomato sauce, and there were only five cubes of chicken. The palak was either over salted or over garlic'd or both, and the paneer while a generous amount was large dense/dry cubes. Overall, left me disappointed. Only remembered an after picture. Takeout are the smaller black plastic, not the larger ones you typically get with Chinese or Thai takeout.

Even though one local family warned us about them serving stale food we went ahead and ordered the food. We ordered mutton shinvaari which looked good but gave really bad heartburn to 2 of my friends the next day !! The Kadhai Chicken we ordered was the most DISGUSTING food I have ever seen. I say seen because we couldn't dare to taste it as it was smelling so bad with bubbles popping out. Looked like they just reheated 4 days old chicken. The mere thought of it makes me throw up. Me and my family won't be ordering kadhai chicken for a very long time.

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? :)

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

At the top…read moreof the list it clearly states, "The default is level of spiciness is medium-hot but the kitchen can adjust to your preferred level". They mean it! The flavor profile is not "rounded down" for the average Buffalo palate. For me, this is a great thing! There are many vegetarian options, and some vegan ones as well: Lots of chickpea dishes, potato based dishes, vegetable pulao, paneer curries, and pooris, parathas, and naans. We had the vegetable samosas to start, stuffed with potatoes and peas, served with a sweet chili sauce. The kalak chai and Kashmiri chai were both excellent; the latter with a froth and topped with chopped pistachios. The garlic naan was hot from the oven, perfect amount of char on the back. For entrees my husband ordered the mutton pulao, which was tender from hours of simmering, and fragrant with the aroma of cinnamon. My BBQ fish arrived on an iron sizzling platter, with a chilli-based dry rub, caramelized onion slices, and what I thought were sweet green peppers. Nope! These were the hell-hot cousins, complete with seeds! Another patron, noticing me wiping my eyes, told me that sweet green peppers are not a part of Pakistani cuisine....so now I know, and respect them. BTW, the complementary raita served with the meal was the remedy: a tablespoon of this, and the heat disapated. I really loved the fish: It had sweet flesh and it was perfectly cooked, falling from the bone. I also loved the hot green pepper slices, once I got over the shock of it! In the 90 minutes we were there, we were the only people who were not Southeast Asian. The owner/chef/waiter was handily managing the flow, and checked on us often. He explained that soon the menu would be expanded to include curries. For additional atmosphere, the sound system was playing Dua Lipa hits, "Despacito," and 2010's cover songs in Punjabi or Urdu. Loved it. If you're in the area in the morning, the restaurant opens at 10 am and has a dozen breakfast items. Catering available.

There was a younger gentleman who brought me my water when I got there and never checked back to ask if I wanted more after I had an empty cup over 30 min. There were only 2 tables occupied out of all the tables there. No one checked on me. He was on his phone the entire time and I eventually had to get up to go ask for more water. The other table was looking at me then looking at him because they were being ignored when they were waiting for the check. I then used the rest room for a couple minutes and they took away my food while I was in there even though I never confirmed I was finished. They never asked me if I needed anything or asked how the food was. The young boy should be fired without a doubt. Horrible work ethic.
