Tad pricy, but very good. Great sections of choices on the menu, wish you can change items around instead of paying full price on the food choices. Owners are great at greeting guests entering their establishment. read more

It's definitely getting better then how it was. I use to come here a frequently a few years back for the beef or goat Biryani. At some point they changed the flavors when I asked them if they changed chefs or anything they told me no but that was definitely a lie. I've been there a few times within the past few months to give them another Chance. The first time I ordered the chicken biryani and mango lassi the chicken was dry biryani was just not flavorful. I still went back because I wanted to try the goat biryani since it use to be one of my favorites I thought the goat biryani would not be good because of how the chicken biryani was but let me tell you I was wrong. I've also tried their shrimp biryani and it's a better option than chicken. They do have pretty good traditional sweets. I always grab a few gulab jamun when I'm there. Over all the place is good just needs to focus on a few items and really work on improving them. read more

This place is awesome! The samosas are the best. This restaurant seems to change hands every couple of years but the food remains excellent quality! I take my parents here when we are in town. It's been my favorite for decades! The mutton briyani and pala gosh and karahi gosh is the best. They have specials posted. A little bit pricey but worth it if you like good Indo-Pak dishes! read more

Came for lunch to try the indian food scene nearby and was very impressed. Chicken tikka masala was delicious, garlic naan was amazing, and chicken biryani was the best. read more

I was confined home with a head cold while my husband went inside and ordered for me. He called me from resturant asking what I wanted and the cashier was very polite and patient because I knew I wanted Indian food but I noticed Uber Eatz/ D dash has a habit of having out of date places in its repertoire. We asked a lot of questions. I will say some of thier menu items don't show on the sight and so glad we didn't depend on that. I ordered the Beef Vindalu, Beef Biryani, hot tea and sweet lasi also by accident. (I'll explain.) All were very tasty and flavorful. Beef Vindalu was a nice size portion of meat, good proportion to potatoes. Beef Biryani was a huge serving! So good! Tea, wish I would have asked for larger size. Yummy and cleared my head cold up. As for the Lasi, my husband didn't know I didn't really want that this time around because it was full of milk. I didn't want to order because didn't know if that would make my head cold worse with all the dairy. But he got it anyway, it was good. My husband tasted mine, he said it was too plain, of it has a flavor added it would be better. read more

This place is... fine. I went with my husband and our friends; it was everyone's first time. The restaurant is in an older complex in a more isolated area of Clear Lake/Webster. We walked in and it was empty except for the counter girl. Next door, Dan's Pizza was hopping, though. So you order at the counter, get judged by the counter girl for your choices, and they bring you the food. You pay at the very end. I do like that they have cold pitchers of water for you to get from the fridge. I don't like that most of the entrees DON'T come with rice or naan. It was my first experience having to pay an additional something for rice. That's kind of ridiculous, right? The food comes out promptly. The food is very homemade. It's like a family-owned restaurant that pushes out family recipes. My husband ordered the chicken kahari, I ordered the chicken tikka masala, and we got samosas and garlic naan. The samosas were freshly fried but the breading was thick. It's kind of lacking in flavor. The tikka masala was very tomato-y; not as creamy as I like it. The chicken kahari was the same--very tomato-y. The garlic naan was excellent. The general consensus around my table was--it was fine, not good, definitely not excellent. Should've gone to Himalayan Taj, which is much closer to my house anyway. Disappointed. read more

Stopped by to get out of the heat and decided it would be rude not to have a snack. Friendly lady at the counter and also the servers were very engaging. I had daal which was pleasantly spicy and chicken keemah naans. So so good. I'm looking forward to coming back. read more

Don't try burger from this place . I've tried Briyani and chicken karai also goat . Overall good 4/5 but burger is like shit . read more

We love to stop by Shalamar or order their food to go. The restaurant is in a less than inviting area of HW3, but don't let that stop you from trying it. The food is always affordable and the portions are quite large. The staff is always welcoming. The dining room is spacious and clean but we tend to visit in off peak hours and there are usually 1 or 2 tables with patrons. We typically enjoy: - Samosas - Chicken Biryani - Daal - Chana masala - Chicken Tikka Masala - Chicken Vindalu - Chicken qorma - Chicken Tikka Boti - Garlic Naan Clearly we have way too many favorites. They open early enough that you can be there at the beginning of lunch time to get some delicious treats. We recommend stopping by and giving Shalamar a try if you are in the area. Hopefully you find a new spot to add to your list of favorites. read more

This place has amazing auth food soooo fresh and delicious !!! On top of that they have the best customer service !! Special shout out to Kazan!! Thanks for the amazing service !! read more

Definitely one of those "hole in the wall" spots you can't stop talking about. With parents from Bangladesh, this place brings you back for sure. If you are planning to go, be sure to try their Haleem with naan. read more

I went there with my family (3 kids between 7 and 11, wife and dad) after visiting NASA. I have to say that this whole area clearly lacks a good halal desi restaurant as this place disappointed us with its ambiance as well. There are a couple of tables in front of the ordering table. We ordered a Nihari, chicken biryani and chicken Karahi. The chicken biryani was mediocre at best, while the chicken Karahi was nothing you'd expect for a Karahi. Same is true for the Nihari as well. The servings are really small as well. There is no side salad or Raita for your dishes. You have to order Naans separately. And there is a charge for credit card as well. Needless to say, I was really disappointed by this place and won't recommend it to anyone until they improve their food and get it right. read more

Authentic Indian - served in styrofoam, not at all spicy very bland- good sage paneer, chicken tiki not so good- taste like cafeteria food at Indian tobacco company read more

I just really like the food here. It's a comfort food for me and the delivery wasn't bad at all. Was quick. I've only been inside the restaurant when I pick up food but it kind of takes me back to my childhood like a hole in the wall restaurant my parents would go to. read more

I've been here with my wife so many times over the years. Surprised I hadn't done a review of this great restaurant. They have really good Indian food. We stop by often to get Samosa's to go. A samosa is.......well......for lack of better description it's like an empanada. But empanadas are mexican and samosa is indian. It's a pastry thing stuffed with potatoes and spices. There ya go. They're really good. I also like their chicken tika masala. Super delicious! Order it with some naam. Naam is like a flat bread that goes good with it to dip in the masala sauce. The chana masala is also delicious. Lots of good food at this place. read more

Went here after Isha prayer, chose the Chicken Shawarma, it came with fries. I ordered samosas on the side too. Main dish was delicious. The chicken was marinated and tasted very good, fries were fresh, still hot & golden from the fryer. 5 Star. The young lady who was there was very kind, and polite. I will be returning, with friends read more

had a burger -taste nothing like a burger. Pakora isn't good either. waste of my money. not a good experience...

This place is phenomenal! Authentic! The Korma is the best I've ever had. Please note that they use the dark meat, cut up chicken with the bone in. This threw me off a bit when first receiving it but my first bite sent all doubt away. The garlic naan is absolutely amazing. The food was very fresh but not very fast. The wait was not extremely long. But not warranted for the amount of customers currently in the restaurant. I will definitely be back to update you guys on other dishes. P.S...My date did not like the Dal..but he isn't doing this review lol read more

Do not go here!! Here is my review. We ordered quite a few dishes. Pros: food came out within 10 minutes (because it was raw and rushed) Cons: everything tasted HORRIBLE! No flavor in anything. For example. The Shrimp in the shrimp biryani was hard and still had skin on it...... Will never return here. read more

Shalamar Restaurant - Pakistani Near Me - Webster, Texas

Every once in a while I crave good Indian food and accustomed to going to places with lunch buffets. This place didn't have lunch buffet and seems like a hole in the wall type of place. I ordered the chicken tikka Marsala with garlic naan at the counter then sat down. When the food came out I was surprised that it didn't come with rice. I always assumed rice just comes with chicken tikka Marsala but apparently you have to specify an order of basmati rice which cost extra. I didn't question it and just ate it with my garlic naan. The sauce tasted different than what I'm accustomed to. It was more tangy and tart like tomato based compared to the more creamy yogurt base I'm use to. Nevertheless, it was good. The garlic naan was very good. It was like a very well cooked thin crust pizza without the toppings, nicely crispy and flaky on the outside and soft and warm on the inside. My only complaint was I wish it had more chicken in the dish. I was left not full. Had it came with rice, it would've been the right amount of food for me. The price was very reasonable. My entire order came out to be $11 without tip. I will definitely come back and try other items on their menu and will make sure to specify with basmati rice. read more

My husband and I were visiting NASA and wanted Indian food for lunch. We just googled for Indian food nearby and this place was about 15min away from NASA but had the best reviews. We arrived at around 1pm and there were plenty of parkings in front of the restaurant. I am always a big fan of the Indian goat/lamb curry therefore I got the goat vindalo. It was a bit spicy to my taste but so well flavored. Potato in the curry soup was soft and herbs used were very aromatic. My husband got the chick tikka masala and it was very delicious as well. We shared the garlic naan which came with fresh herb and garlic on top and tasted amazing. Service here was fast and the cashier lady was nice and efficient. BTW I was also able to get 7% cashback from yelp paying with my registered credit card. We were so lucky to find this place! read more

For an indiscreet location, this place is clean and serves fresh, delicious food. Ordered the Shalamar Platter which has a bit of everything. Added a samosa. Fast, fresh, friendly, and, most importantly flavorfully delicious. Highly recommended! read more

Very good local desi food, naan was tasty . Love the food here . Price is very affordable and service is good also. flavor was good and fresh read more

I didn't take a picture of the food only because I couldn't wait any longer. The food flavor took me back when I worked overseas and MAN did I miss these flavors! The chicken tikka masala had the curry flavor but not as strong to what I was used to. But it still was spot on... I ordered it with some garlic naan as well and it definitely hit the spot. I'll be making future trips to start trying other dishes. read more

Have you ever had Indian sweets aka candies or confectioneries? Well, here's where you should go try them. Freshly made, cut into squares the size of petit four and still in the baking trays in their glass counter. You can ask to try them in little sampler pieces, but I always make sure I buy some when I tasted the ones I love. All treats, no trick! read more

RUN FAR FROM THIS PLACE! If I can give this place zero stars I would. The floors has open juice boxes, the floors are sticky, there's trash on the floors. The new management and ownership is horrible! We ordered over 8 dishes, each one had no taste. Absolutely gross. We had food here before the previous owners but it was not as this bad. We ordered Shrimp biryani- raw shrimp can make you sick. Chana masala- very watery, no spices, no taste Aloo palak- taste like poison Dhaal fry- raw, undercooked Chicken makahani- basically eating tomato paste $80 and it was complete garbage! We told them and they still took our money even though we told them it was raw! Our food finally came, and the server slammed it on the table and walked away. WE WILL NEVER BE BACK TO THIS PLACE. We asked for salad and chili peppers and never got it. Worst worst place ever! We left all food as is. Went hungry, Left hungry. read more

This is such a great spot for food. They always give me the spice level I'm looking for when I say EXTRA spicy compared to most places.

Their chicken tikki masala is my go to. If I'm in a rush and want my Indian fix this is where I go to. The rice is plain but the dish is very well made . read more

Delicious and affordable! My husband who is a picky eater even loved it and the staff are very sweet.

I wasn't sure about this place upon stepping in and finding it filled with smoke. But everyone was very friendly and seemed to understand exactly what we were ordering. They don't have a drink fountain, so after you order you go to a fridge and just grab a drink. (Water is in the back.) I will start with the Naan, which is amazing. They are huge, hand made and delicious. They're food is delicious, too! read more

Shalamar Restaurant - Pakistani Near Me - Webster, Texas

I liked Shalamar, but my husband didn't really like it as much as Tabaq Grill (just down the street) or Cuisine India (his favorite). We needed a late night dinner, had a craving for Indian, and found just the place with the right hours (11am to 11pm). Shalamar was clean and had the typical TV in the corner playing Pakistani news. They have a long dessert menu, so I'll be sure to go back and try some of those (especially the chocolate burfi). We ordered the goat biryani, chicken tikka, rice, and naan (all for under $20). You also get a small salad with mint yogurt sauce for each dish you order. The naan was delicious. I thought all the dishes were tasty, but the hubby thought they all were just okay. I always enjoy my meals, but the hubby claimed that he didn't like the chicken tikka at all (as he scraped his plate clean with his naan...hmmm). We ordered our meal as a takeout, so I don't have a review for table service, but I wouldn't mind coming back. read more

Walked in here the other day, and was the only one speaking English...good first sign! Walked up and ordered at the counter. Got the chicken tikka masala and one order of naan... The chicken tikka masala was good, but to be honest I've rarely been to a restaurant that has really messed this dish up before. The highlight was the naan. The piece I got was bigger than my head! It was fresh, fluffy, and baked to perfection - it was a meal in itself! The staff and patrons seemed like a nice bunch as well. Total damage to wallet was ~$11 after tax and tip, which was a little more than I was planning to spend...but all in all a place I could find myself coming back to. read more

They make pizza with naan dough. Upon asking, he replied that he is doing this for a long time and no one ever complained. Well, the owner was rude and didn't help to exchange for something else. Only one pizza slice was tasted and the rest was returned untouched. read more
