I hate to do this, because the staff were some of the friendliest and nicest I’ve ever encountered, but a sadly this was by far the worst Indian food I’ve ever had. Ever! Not exaggerating or trying to be unkind. In fact it’s not really Indian food. It’s some weird bland facsimile of Indian food. We had two dishes, the Tikka Massala and the Korma and they tasted identical, differing only I colour, and neither of them tasted like they were supposed to. If you love Indian food, don’t eat here.

These people just sell happiness. They're welcoming, friendly and attentive. The food was delicious, from the basics - onion bahjees, mango lassi, various forms of naan bread - to the complex. I couldn't imagine how to improve the experience. One of their dishes was as good as anything I ever tasted. When we had cleared the plates the manager commented "you did a brilliant job on that!" Not as brilliant as his own job.

Visited with my uncle to spend the day with him and decided to visit for something to eat. To say the least, incredibly grateful we did. Food was fantastic, 11/10. Highly recommend the chicken korma, peshwari naan and rice but there is a wide variety of other food, which I assume are just as amazing. We were offered poppadoms before the main food, which were lovely too. Dessert was fabulous as well, I recommend the chocolate ice cream with hazelnut The (or at least who I assume) manager was incredibly lovely, very hospitable, polite, nice to speak to and all in all very friendly. Upon finding it was recently my birthday, I was given a card and a £10, which I appreciate hugely and think is an incredible touch. Will definitely be coming back, could not recommend more!!

We hadn’t planned to visit but due to our booking being cancelled elsewhere, The Shalimar was recommended to us instead! From the moment we walked in the team were super accommodating, you can tell a huge emphasis is placed not just on the food but also the service provided. 10/10 couldn’t fault either! The food was super tasty and affordable for both my partner and I. Unfortunately we’re not local although don’t live too far away, so we’ll definitely be back once we’re up that way again :)

The Shalimar continues to excel in every way. Been using it since 2018, with visits to the Restaurant or enjoying a Takeaway which they deliver to us as we are local. Staff are friendly and attentive. Food is cooked really well with the Chef more than happy to adjust the spiciness to suit your tastebuds. Easily gets 5/5 from us.
