Shalimar Restaurant of Clifton Park

Hello, this was my first time coming to this location tonight for takeout and I ordered 1 butter chicken at level 7 spice and 1 veggie curry at level 7 spice. Had a pleasant conversation with the people inside and I mentioned it was my first time at this location. And as I’m eating the food, it was very delicious, I had to put my food down and come write this review, because of how amazing this meal was. The veggie samosa are 10/10.

Buttered up by the butter chicken. I'm not the biggest fan of Indian cuisine, which stems from my lack of tolerance for spice. But I felt exploratory this week, and so I picked Shalimar to buy my cheat day dinner from. Going with an order of the Mixed Appetizers, Chicken Tikka Makhani, and Cheese Naan. Total came to a little over $25 before tip, a very reasonable price for the quantity of food I received. The staff was very pleasant, and ordering over the phone did not prove to be too difficult. But how was the quality? Well when I arrived home I found the takeout was packed very well, everything kept warm in tinfoil, tightly sealed containers, and not a single bit of leakage. Impressive. The mixed appetizer, which consists of vegetable samosa, pakora and pappadum, was a good way to start. I didn't end up finishing everything though, because I needed room for that chicken tikka makhani, or Indian Butter Chicken. Poured over rice it was a great curry, delicious in every sense of the word. It was rich and creamy, the chicken was thick and meaty, the flavors were almost addictive. By the end I was stuffed and foisted the remaining naan and appetizers off on my old man who throughly enjoyed them, as he is a big fan of Indian foods. This was an excellent meal for a great price, highly recommended!

I'm literally obsessed with this place! I get their lunch buffet atleast once a month. Can't beat $12 for a delicious lunch. If I lived closer I'd be there weekly. Absolutely delicious! No frills type of place, but the food is legit and the service is great. There's certainly a reason it's always busy! 👌

My husband & I went to Shalimar for the first time tonight and as soon as we walked in, I knew it was going to be delicious just from the smell, and it was better than I imagined. The staff was so friendly & welcoming and excitedly suggested we try the dessert which was also great. We were starving and the buffet was a quick & tasty option, being refreshed often as we sat. We will definitely be back!

Very tasty, healthy meal! Kind and friendly staff! We will be back:)

I stopped in to order a take out butter chicken meal with naan, not realizing it was outside of their hours. They made it right then for me and offered me a drink while I waited. I realized after it was between their hours. They were so kind! The food was delicious, too. Would totally recommend.

We love Shalimar! We do usually do the Friday night buffet when we drive up to Vermont. It always delicious and we can be in an out in 20 minutes. Quicker than a drive thru and so much healthier. Stopping by on a Thursday is an extra treat as we get to order off the menu. Just as good and still very fast service.
