Shalimar Tandoori in Stockton-on-Tees

Don't know we're to start! Opened the bag chips fell straight out of the paper bag through the grease Chicken madras and Chicken Dupiaza both had the same bland taste Yoghurt mint sauce it was like milk 🤢 Complained his attitude was brutal said i was shouting at him I talk loud through being deaf. If you want slimey Chicken black chicken that's your place to go

Who ever giv this place it's rating, is a liar, I won't rate this food at all. King prawn curry, king prawn jalfrazy and chefs special, how all 3 meal come out the same colour, the prawns, I would of fed the dog with them, chicken was small boiled, we got pictures of the food.we rang for our money back, In fairness they did, we traveled to Seaton tandoori, ordered the same food, totally different colours prawn and chicken where spot on, avoid the shalimar in billingham.

It's always a pleasure to order food to takeaway. Always courteous, price is very reasonable but most of all the food is delicious.

Naan too thick needs to be thinner.

We been ordering for years and travel 15 mins to collect because it is (was) our favourite takeaway. However 2 times in a row we received the order and we have not been satisfied with the samosas! They tasted old and have been reheated more than ones! I couldn’t even bite in mine this time because it was rock hard and I had to bin them before I would break my teeth! I always used to received my curry mild when asked for but the last two times it was too spicy and my request was again not acknowledged! Our rice was ok and the nan was also delicious as always. Please stop reheating the samosas.

Absolutely delicious! First time ordering from here, really enjoyed my meal. Meal was hot and early delivery. Would order again.

Good food, Good service at a Good price

haven't been here for years, and only tried it because my usual curry house was closed. I would not use this place again. Poor quality tikka and the vindaloo was not only inedibly hot but it was harsh like it hadn't been cooked out properly. Poor.

Came very early, the food was hot and delicious, possibly the best curry I’ve had in a long 10/10 and I recommend you try it

Great take away jalfrez curry 10,10 pilue rice fantastic nanna bread .not bad 6,10 chips ok value money good all round lovely meal for take out , great 👍

Love shalimar never fails to impress.

Soggy warm chips. chicken vidaloo wasn't piping hot either . Disappointed!!

Please go back to the old meat samosah recipe

Excellent food. Delivery driver nice and friendly

Where do I start? Hair found in food which put me off instantly half way through eating. Nothing is fresh and has been re heated. Chips undercooked. Wont be returning!

food was cold and we didn't get our pilau rice

Service above and beyond as usual! Thank you

Flavours are unreal and an excellent delivery service…. Highly recommended!!!!!!

Excellent food!!!! We’ll definitely be ordering again very soon

We were very happy with this meal very tasty as always thank you.

Arrived stone cold so I had to microwave for nearly 2 minutes to get any heat. Rice was then hard and clumped together like rocks. Every other time I have loved your company but today if it was my first time I would not be using again.

Been using this takeaway for over 30 years never have I had food as I did tonight found chicken bone and chicken neck bones taste was awful rice over cooked not the first time I’ve been disappointed with my meal but just put it down to a bad day like I said always use this place but enough is enough phoned to complain told give you money of your next order sorry but your not getting any more of my money End of an era

Lovely, really nice and very filling

Food so tasty, best Indian in teeside for me

delivered to wrong address but mistakes happen. The food itself was delicious.

Excellent all hot best butter chicken and garlic Nan

Half an hour late, left at wrong address, neighbour across the road had to deliver it. Had to microwave to heat up. A shame because it tasted very good.

I had a 10 pound discount code,that didn't work,I paid full price,the 10 pound discount did not work.wgat is the point of these offers?.

Food was lovely but portion sizes are definitely not what they were.

Most tasteless food ever. Had more authentic tasting food made fresh at home. I cannot believe any takeaway would serve this. All went in the bin.

Cracking food! Great service and thoroughly enjoyed it

£40 spent on 2 curry's a few different starters and some naan. Every item was cold/tepid the Naan bread was soggy the chips were soggy from cold grease the Prawn Puri was just a container full of mush. also missing a meat samosa. If anyone is looking for the worst Indian in Teesside this is definitely a contender.

Delivered before estimated time, hot and tasty

Smashing meal. Thank you so much. Was delicious. Couldn’t fault it.

Lived in Billingham almost a decade and cant believe we have never come cross you guys before. So glad we decided to order from here. The meat was tender and beautifully cooked. Pilau was gorgeous with mushrooms and cumin seeds. Garlic keema naanwas the best ever, a hotness on the tongue that didnt overwhelm, and the bread was so fresh and soft. I had a dupiaza which was warm and complimentary to the keema. Husband had a moglai which was rich and creamy. He said it was the best curry he had ever had. Thank you for some very tasty, GOOD value food - WE WILL be back. £20 was an absolute bargain. We were also expecting it to arrive at around 6:40 and it arrived at 5:50 so very prompt.

Very friendly customer service and good quality food, would certainly recommend.

great value aint failed on me yet

Always the best quality food with the nicest customer service. Thank you!

absolutely gorgeous food ,thanks 👍

Excellent food and service as always 👍

Very fast delivery and food is always really nice

Ordered last night and the food was amazing!! I’ve been going to shalimar since as early as I can remember, being a toddler and parents ordering it, and I’m now 28.. it’s always been the best Indian takeaway. Even when I moved away I’d come home and look forward to getting one. The standards slipped recently, I was a little disappointed with one or two, but I ordered last night and the shalimar is back on top form. The delivery was fast and food was beautiful. Keep up the good work because it really is the best Indian around and I don’t want to go else where. The chips are gorgeous aswell. No one does it like the shalimar! Im not usually one for reviews but I enjoyed it that much it had to be said.

Food was spot on , great service , to pick up on time !

Bread was soggy and gloomy. Food was lack luster. Not much flavour. Very little difference between dishes

Always deliver promptly & good food 😋

Food lovely and delivery driver was really kind, if he is employed by the restaurant please thank him

Delivery didn’t take long but food was freezing cold when it arrived and didn’t taste nice. Disappointed, won’t be ordering from here again

Definitely avoiding this place , if you want chicken bones and cartilage in your curry then this is the place for you , but definitely not me !!! And I paid extra for the supposed better breast meat !! Discussing is all I have to say

Food arrived quickly piping hot and tasty. Chicken korma chicken tikka masala 2 chips a large rice. Chips were delicious home made Chippy style chips which went lovely with the curry. Can’t wait for my next takeaway nigh 🙂

Amazing authentic Indian food 10/10

Great food and friendly staff . Quick delivery

Lovely meal. I’ll be back. Much thanks

Most of the food was cold, tasty food but really cold , bread was stone cold and everything else barely warm

Shalimar has been my life line for curry since I started on this fantastic takeaway journey 10 years ago. I don’t think I would ever order from any other takeaway now! I travel the country for my job and love a good curry! Bud they are the best and always do their upmost to please the customer. Mild or spicy you need to try this place. I order from here near enough on a weekly basis and they still go crazy for me! The staff, chefs and delivery experts are all polite and accommodating. Nothing but love from a loyal customer!

We asked for an early delivery if possible and duly arrived, as always food is superb from here. Have used Shalimar for over 30 years, tried similar dishes from sit down and other take aways (when they are on holiday) and nothing comes close. Great service and exceptional food.

I had requested an extra mint yoghurt sauce which we didn’t get. I also think with a large sauce you should get a large rice

Tasty, piping hot and delivered early, which was a real bonus

Always get chicken madras and it’s lovely. Naans are really nice too. I’ve took a star off cos the chips really aren’t great.

Most excellent vindaloo as always. Best take away in Billingham.

The food here is absolutely disgusting. The chicken used is clearly old and reheated- smelt disgusting. The tikka masala sauce just tastes like a sharp tomato sauce used for pasta- not creamy or a nice flavour at all. Hard pieces of chopped onion, not properly softened and cooked down. Horrible vegetable curry- just lots of peas and mushrooms. Some items burnt. Just really really low quality overall. I’m disgusted that they can send that out to paying customers. Absolute lack of respect.

Another top meal from the best takeaway in Billingham! Beautiful food!!

Popadoms burnt and prawn Bryani was watery, just not the best

Food very disappointing. Curries were all the same sauce but with different main ingredients added.

Such a quick delivery. Absolutely spot on. Amazing! +++++

Just as it always was….Superb, well done Shalimar.

There Tarka Dahl is fantastic. Always get three or four and keep them in the freezer.

Great food as always and delivered super fast, no waiting for ever with these guys. Highly recommended.

Everything was great except the chips

Good quality food and piping hot.

Great food, definitely recommend

Everything we ordered was delicious, we will definitely be ordering from here again & recommending to friends & family.

Always tastes great - excellent value.

Lovely food, currie naan bread and rice, alll very hot when it came which was great

Have used Shalimar for many years and has always been excellent. This meal wasn’t! Come back Niko!!

Delicious food, best I’ve tried

Came within 20 minutes of ordering, very large portions and food tasted great. Would definitely order again. 5 starts

Worst Indian takeaway I've ever had. The curry sauce was way too sweet, the chicken was awful, the prawns tasted a little off. And the biryani was tasteless didn't even have sultanas in it.

The food was good quality but the curry was not Tandoori/Indian. Definitely a white persons attempt or made for white persons. Very mild and bland.

As always, lively staff, meal was hot, tasty, beautiful and just perfect for me!

food was horrible chips black never use it again

Good portions, excellent onion bhajis

Absolutely disgusting chicken had brown black bits in it and was also shredded chicken not chunks rotten wouldn't recommend save your money.

Absolutely gorgeous , as always

I ordered a chicken tikka masala which was more like a thick tomato-based pasta sauce. Zero spice (and I don't tend to order spicy food but this was flavourless) and it had tomato chunks. Only two chicken bits. I thought they must have delivered the wrong thing but it had "CTM" written on the tray so it was correct, just rubbish. Should have repackaged it and called it tinned tomatoes. My husband enjoyed his.

Super fast delivery, food was red hot and delicious couldn’t fault it😊

The food was awful, frozen samosas, the curry was unlike anything I've ever had, and I've at a lot of Indian food!. Zero flavour, zero spice. Definitely won't be returning. Delivery was good tho

Very speedy delivery of excellent tasting food.

Not had one in a while but was very nice.

Chicken Tikka Masala was absolutely awful

Arrived an hour early and really tasty. Great service.

Absolutely gorgeous yet again 👍

Order arrived early and still hot. Looked decent when portioning it out. However the taste was a different story. Never have I had a dupiaza that is so spicy ( I don’t do spicy food) it was tasteless and bland ( apart from the spice) pilau rice was like an uncle bens microwave rice, naan bread cold and plain, not a hint of garlic in it. Hubbys korma was again tasteless and chips like warm ups. Waste of money. Never again!

Korma had a slight warmth as an after taste but still very nice. Onion bahjis 10/10. my new favourite curry house highly recommend.

Chicken Tikka Masala curry was watery and tasted more like tomato pasta sauce , food arrived cold was not worth the money at all won’t be ordering again

Another great meal, and an early delivery.

Never had a bad meal. Good portions. Always tastes great. Ask for extra keema on naan bread and don't get charged extra. Best Indian in Billingham

Lovely food as usual..can't beat them

Recently heard about the 2* star hygiene rating. I’m a bit gutted the owners have allowed this to happen and to not care about there loyal customers over the years. That’s the more shocking part. Me and my Family won’t be using Shalimar again. Which is a shame after what’s happened.

Always great food. Missed them while they've been on holiday.

Our usual "Go To" for curry, however, we learned today about the Food standards report giving only 2* after improvements were made. The flavour is good. However, I will choose somewhere else until they can reliably attain a 5* rating
