A big shout out to the Ceo of Golden Shalimar alongside his staff who catered for us last night after we've been to the Derby County game. The service/food was absolutely outstanding 👏 & were even provided with complimentary drinks. The restaurant is definitely a 5* rating for a unique fine dining experience by far!! Thanks once again J

The staff very attentive... Warm hospitality...Their food is not expensive for the portion they served...Very reasonably priced. Very peaceful atmosphere. Definitely I will recommend if anyone craving Indian cuisine around Paddington.

My family and I went to this restaurant one evening to eat as we needed to settle down after a long day of walking. In front of the restaurant there was a board with writing "chicken curry" at a reasonable price. We entered a server installs us. My uncle asked people close to our table how the food was and they were clearly not satisfied. I went to the bathroom and never seen such a dirty place! The toilet did not work the toilet was half broken it was horrible! On the way to the toilet there is a refrigerator full of food which had seemed to have been there for more than 5 days. We don't order meat so as not to get food poisoning, you never know. The servers did not make us comfortable, they were next to the counter watching people eat. A server came to us to take our food and mix it up to tell me that I could eat it because it was not spicy. I have never seen a waiter come and touch my food. The beer cost £ 8 when it was despicable. One of the waiters went to a table to give lemon wipes under plastic, people had no choice but to take them since he opened them and placed them in their hands. I absolutely do not recommend this restaurant even as a last resort!

This Restaurant close to Paddington Station is a 'Not Good, Not bad' type of eatery for those who are missing the South Indian Food. Place is clean and vozy although small but simple standard however, Price is real London Standard.

Stumbled upon Golden Shalimar whilst staying near Paddington Station and having a craving for some curry. Staff were friendly and seated me right away. Menu had plenty of Indian standards. I chose the Lamb Jalfrezi and Chicken Tandoori with some Naan. Food came out fast but was average quality. Nothing poor but also no show stealers. Naan was relatively disappointing in regards to size and flavor. Prices were average but given the quality of the food it felt like I may have paid a bit too much. Overall its a fine enough restaurant if you're in the area but I certainly wouldnt recommend going out of your way to visit.

Wife and I had dinner after a day touristing. Small, unassuming place with excellent food. Very friendly owner and staff. The samosas were a treat because so often they are mostly breading. These had minimal breading and the pea/potato stuffing was excellent. The Tandoori chicken very good. Chicken Tikki Masala very good. Generous portions reasonably priced.

I heard about the restaurant via the Tastecard app and decided to give it a go whilst I was in town. I have to say I’m glad I did. The restaurant is a small simple affair, but the food was very nice. The mixed starter was really tasty and I had a Chicken Dhansak which I would also recommend. The food was simple, tasty, and not greasy at all. I would definitely visit again if you want simple but delicious food.

We were planning to go to Brick Lane, but tube disruptions, found us wandering around Paddington looking for an Indian meal. The Golden Shalimar was located in a quiet side street and we weren't quite sure what to expect as we walked in. The waiter who served us was friendly and chatty and managed to find a couple of cold beers for me and my son(we assumed the restaurant was dry as the drinks offered on the menu were lassi, fruit juices and Water). The menu was quite limited, which for me was a real positive as I get frustrated having to leaf through pages of dishes. In the end we opted for popadoms accompanied by a nice selection of chutneys and dips followed by mutton jalfrezi and Chicken bhuna. Both were sensibly portioned and tasted delicious, especially my mutton which was a new culinary experience. We did not have to wait long for our meals and were in and out in less than an hour, which suited us down to the ground. The waiter gave us a discount card for our next meal. Would wholeheartedly recommend to anyone seeking an unpretentious experience where you'll speedily be served a tasty meal. Good value too; Less than £40 for 2 of us with drinks. Not bad at all for central London

We went here on a recommendation with a relative visiting the area who wanted Indian food. I am dubious about eating Indian or Chinese food in high streets as it can often be poor quality. This was nice. I was pleasantly surprised. We ate various starters , tandoori grill and curries with naan. I had no complaint about any of it. I will certainly go back. They also gave us a 20% off discount voucher for next visit. The waiters were attentive and quietly polite. We enjoyed it.

Ordered a meal as per deal board outside. At the end they said as the dish had been bigger than those in the deal they wouldn't give that price (strange as the board makes no mention of this). Also, incredibly rude and only 2 pieces of meat in my meat curry. Queried this and they were really rude and treated me like I had eaten pieces when they weren't looking. Heard people on the next table making the same query. Re-posting this review, as when tried to publish this before they challenged its validity and it never made it online! Avoid this place unless you want an expensive curry with hardly any meat when you order a meat option.

I know London and the UK has so many good Indian restaurants - unfortunately the old Golden Shalimar isn't one of them. I was so looking forward to a great curry whilst in London, this restaurant doesn't meet this expectation. I ordered a mutton vindaloo and the serving size was so small, it had no flavour and in all honesty the amount of mutton was minuscule, this is on top of over priced mains, entree's and rice etc. It unremarkable dining experience. Give this one a miss.

Nos dirigíamos a un restaurante diferente cuando un chico en las calles le entregó una tarjeta de descuento para Golden Shalimar. Era Nochebuena, el restaurante al que planeamos ir estaba cerrado, así que terminamos en Golden Shalimar. Pequeño y estrecho (oye, es el centro de Londres ... así que no nos importó). Pedimos Garlic Naan, Mutter Paneer (lo escribieron como Motor en su menú, lo que nos hizo sonreír y reírnos!), Chilli Paneer y Channa masala. El ajo naan fue simplemente increíble y las salsas que pedimos también bastante bien. El servicio fue bastante rápido y el caballero que esperaba nuestra mesa era muy educado y agradable. Volvimos a este lugar una vez más hacia el final de nuestro viaje y disfrutamos de la comida. La calidad fue excelente y el servicio fue aún mejor esta vez. Si está buscando una comida india rápida en un lugar decente y desea pagar tarifas razonables, este es el lugar. La distancia a pie desde la estación Hilton Paddington / Paddington y eso lo hizo aún más fácil.

Went to this restaurant last Thursday with my partner who is lactose intolerant. Asked what choices he had and was told chicken curry. Asked if there were any other options and were told only chicken curry. We didn't mind as we'd noticed this was on a meal deal. I ordered another meat dish which had 4 tiny pieces of meat and loads of sauce. When I told the waiter he refused point blank to accept this saying he was sure there were more than 4 pieces and then walked off. When paying we heard another table making the same complaint. We also asked for the meal deal price for the chicken curry and was told we couldn't have this as we should have said we wanted this when ordering and would have got a smaller portion. Nothing on the meal offer saying that if you took up the deal you'd get a teeny tiny portion and we ordered early evening, meaning we qualified for the deal. Avoid this place unless you're happy to buy expensive sauce accompanied by rude service! And you can't even have the satisfaction of holding back the tip as they slap on compulsory service charge.

Arrived looking for a great curry but were greeted by unsmiling staff, no spicy popadums, ordered a lamb sheek kebab that was tough and over cooked, as well as being served with brown lettuce. Almost immediately after the starter the main arrived - a chicken vindaloo was ordered with rice and garlic naan. Vindaloo was no more than madras hot with no flavour and over cooked chicken. My partners prawn dish was swimming in oil. A waiter asked if my meal was "ok" does this mean they have no confidence in their standards as they know their food is not good? This was one of the worst Indian meals I have had in London and would advise anyone to avoid at all costs. How they are still in business is a miracle - restaurants like this should be shut down by the food police.

I was really surprised how the staff is rude there, I ordered a glass of white wine, they came to me with red wine and insisted saying it was my fault because I ordered red wine. I asked what kind of rice they had there and they told something like: come on it's on the menu, it's one hour you are looking at it! It sounded almost like a joke, so I want to think they were joking but they looked seriously annoyed by having customers. By the way, the restaurant was empty when we arrived, not a good signal. Food was ok, but very small portions. I had a Table Pouncer booking but they pretended not to know what it was, so I had to insist before they acknowledged that.

Having been rejected from the Pizza Restaurant opposite due to the late hour we found ourselves at the Golden Shalimar.Service is relaxed and prompt. -- Aloo Gobhi 6/10 (lacked spice and was surely not freshly cooked)-- Pappads + sauces 6/10-- Naans 7/10 (just ok)-- Chicken Tikka 7/10-- Mango Lassi 7/10-- Raita 2/10 (was terrible. I never tasted such a bad raita in my life) bottom line: This is surely not a restaurant you would book seats in or even plan to visit. The food is exactly what you would expect in an Indian Restaurant in little England in the 1960's. Maybe that is part of its charm?

Never been here sober, but equally never had any gastric problems thereafter, so if, like me, you like the odd curry to soak away a session on the ale, give it a go!

Great food near the station. I come here every time I'm in London and it's always good. Try the chicken tikka or the set menu.

Fairly standard curry house. Food was rather spicier than normal which was a refreshing change. Waiters didn't look as if they could have cared less, but still delivered a good service. I'd go back, so I guess that says it all.

Ok so the draught beer was not working. Not a big deal. But secretly pouring a can into a pint glass was unforgivable. I noticed it and the waiter knew that I had. A can of beer is not a problem. I like draught, I like cans. But when they are sneaky about the beer then what else are they sneaky about.

We stopped in here on a Sunday evening after a long day of sightseeing. The staff was very friendly and helpful. We had a variety of dishes and everything was tasty and hit the spot to make us feel whole again after a busy day. Just a short walk from Paddington Station.

Indian food served well... as far as the food is concerned. Service very poor.. do not care attitude by the waiters. Except one who we met last day... was from Bangladesh and listening to clients unlike others. Not very inexpensive; even the buffet. But good place near Paddington station

sehr abwechslungsreiche Gerichte, die hervorragend gewürzt sind. Jedes Gericht hatte eine ganz besondere Geschmacksnote. Wir waren so begeistert, dass wir innerhalb von 4 Tagen, 2 mal im Golden Shalimar gegessen haben. Der Service ist ebenfalls hervorragend. Wir haben uns dermaßen wohlgefühlt, dass wir uns schon auf unseren nächsten London Trip freuen und auf jeden Fall wieder im Golden Shalimar essen werden

I was here to get some take away food - which was okay - but i was charged the restaurant price. That was a bit disappointing. Service was friendly (no wonder, given the extra profit)

Estaba cerca de donde nos hospedamos, entonces decidimos pedir la comida, muy económica, y llevarla al hotel. Cuando la probamos arroz con pollo, estaba tan picante que no alcanzaba el agua para calmarnos.

Je descends dans le quartier Paddington à chaque fois que je viens a Londres et je viens dans ce restaurant au moins une fois. Je ne suis jamais déçu.Cest copieux et les pats sont tres bons.Le fait que ce ne soit pas sur l'artère principale fait qu'on y trouve toujours de la place

Excelente calidad y cantidad, así como un buen servicio. Cada plato fue distintivo y muy bien cocinados, muy superior a la "bultos habitual de inferior cosas en la misma salsa que la mayoría de los restaurantes de curry servir.

Was a little perplexed to find the Couthouse Hotel afternoon tea was set in an indian restaurant. Staff were very Indian (you’re 5 minutes early sir) but did a sterling job. Champagne on arrival, tiered platter of finger sandwiches, scone cream jam, assorted desserts followed by tea/coffee. Pro’s - it was a good experience and we wanted to have a good time. Con’s - bread was poor quality (cheap), felt a little rushed, ambience was noisy but appreciate that was just the other patrons on the day.

I had dinner here with a friend the other night. The food was the best Indian food I have had in ages. A real 5/5 in my opinion. Service and ambience very good, too. Prices reasonable.

It had been a long time since I had enjoyed a Balti after many great experiences in Birmingham. After last night delivery, I had to check whether my memory wasn't failing me. Sorry but what makes the base of the real McCoy is Onions, just like bread for a sandwich. The £13.95 dish I ordered was anything but a Balti.
