After an exhausted month, we thought of visiting an Asian restaurant in downtown (We do not frequently dine at restaurants). And we found this restaurant in Google and plan to walk to it and then to hang around. Space was limited to couple of tables and one was occupied by a group of boys. It appeared like a part of a normal house, and nothing was special. No welcome!We chose our meals and a lady came to take the order (no smile!), and half of the plates that we asked was told that “It takes long time for preparation”. Then, she anxiously suggested an ‘all-in-one plate’ and along with we ordered a vegetable mix curry and plain rice. In 10 min, we were served. That ‘all-in-one’ plate was terr...
The tables and chairs are set out in the front section of the grocery store. It looks very basic and you might be tempted to walk by. DON'T! The food is delicious, the best I have had in an Indian/ Asian restaurant. I am originally from the UK so I know Indian food!Some of the items on the menu were not available but we had the chicken biryani which was just the right side of spicy, the beef palak gost ( a spinach dish with spices), steamed rice and a naan done just right. Fairly priced and would highly recommend and would definitely go back if ever in St John's
Shalimar offers the best Chicken Biryani in the city. The other menu items are also fantastic, with delicious, authentic homemade Indian/Pakistani food. The portions of curry are generous and reasonably priced. The seating area is well-organized and comfortable, not overly crowded. I will definitely be coming back. This is the best Biryani I have ever had at a restaurant.
The food was absolutely wonderful, from preparation to presentation, very pleasing. We especially enjoyed the butter chicken.Great customer service . Best samosas ever(even took photos so we could try to replicate at home).

Absolutely delicious, with a perfect balance of spice and rich flavors. It has the cozy, welcoming atmosphere of a home-cooked meal, and we savored every moment of our dining experience.
The food is excellent and the atmosphere is cozy. The menu offers a variety of dishes that provide a real taste of South Asia. I highly recommend this restaurant.
They don't know how to behave with the customers. The butter chicken I had from Shalimar is the worst I ever had. I will never go back to this restaurant.
One of the best Pakistani/Indian restaurant in town. I suggest everyone should give it a try.. :
