Shalimar Indian Cuisine

This is an exceptional (mainly take away) IndianWe have been buying here for over 5 years and have never had a less then excellent dish.

We came for dinner on a Tuesday night. As there were only two of us (and one not a huge eater) we decided to get a curry plate each- keep it simple. This contained chicken tikka, butter chicken, beef korma and a vegetable curry with rice and naan. We asked to swap the naan for garlic (no problems) and we added a raita to the order. The serves are generous. The chicken tikka was a little dry and overcooked. The butter chicken very orange. The curries did''t differ considerably in flavour and were a bit on the sweet side and extremely mild. This was true of the raita as well. The naan was okay but a bit doughy and not crisp or charred enough for our liking-the garlic flavour was very mild. Overall- the service was okay, the location is small and noise travels so would hate to be there when it's packed. If you like mild curries and want to try or have kids- this would probably be a good place to start. They do have a very large vegetarian menu (but no 'curry plate' option to try a few). So - depends what you like. Too sweet and not spicy enough for us.

Straight down-the-line Indian, very tasty and filling. There is a good range of dishes for vegetarians.

The food here is amazing and the serving sizes are very generous. The restaurant has a cute, rustic set up so it is a nice place to eat in and the staff are generally lovely too. Unfortunately the meals are a bit pricey and can make for an expensive dinner out. Definitely worth a visit though!

The restaurant is OK but as a take away there are many interruptions. The service was a bit ordinary and the décor was trying a bit too hard to be Australian. Food was satisfactory.
