“ I'm very new to this style of cuisine, but boy, Shalimar has given me a great introduction!! Everything I've had so far has been phenomenal! The garlic naan and Chicken Makhani are my current favorites, but I look forward to tasting the whole menu. One day when I was in picking up an order, I saw that they offer a buffet on Wednesdays, which gives me the perfect opportunity! The staff are simply amazing. Everyone is so kind, welcoming and helpful, especially Ali! The interior has been immaculate on every visit, as well. ”
