Chicken Tikka Masala
I've been a regular customer for over 10 years, and the Chicken Tikka Masala is always delicious! It's perfect over rice.
Vegetable Korma
The vegetable korma is absolutely amazing!
Chana Masala
Always great, love the flavors
Chicken Vindaloo
I have too many favorites here. I come sometimes (before covid) with my friends and get so many dishes and share. We always get Chicken Vindaloo. It is the best.
Chicken Tikka Masala
The Chicken Tikka Masala I had was so amazing and flavorful!! I definitely will be back and recommend it.
Chicken Tikka Masala
We are in love with this flavorful creamy dish! We like to shred the chicken even more to get chicken in every bite! We eat this with rice and a side of veggie samosas
Aaloo Bangan
One of several vegan favorites, this enticing dish, a fragrant marriage of potato, eggplant and green peas falls under the headi ng of Vegan Delight -- and it is! This dish, coupled with a fluffy stack of Cilantro Naan, makes for a warm and memorable meal in all weather.
Chana Masala
Amazing Food! Outstanding Service! One of my favorite restaurants in San Luis Obispo. The buffet deals are the best in town. Great options for those with special diets or allergies.
Vegetable Samosas
Their samosas are so delicious. Thin, crispy pastry exterior with a soft, flavorful interior. Unlike some other places, you can actually discern the different veggies inside. Packed with flavor!
Saag
As someone who is plant based, I love saag, especially Shalimar's. I've come multiple times and they never disappoint!
Aaloo Bangan
I always try chicken tikka masala so I branched out and tried this dish and oh my, it was so delicious I finished it in less than 10 minutes! It is the perfect combination with the naan they serve, and you can't forget their mango lassi either. Always come out of the restaurant satisfied and the servers are very kind which I appreciate them for their services.
Chana Masala
Yum! So good! Thank you!
Palak (Saag)
What a delicious feast for vegetarians! Usually at a restaurant I order by "default" meaning getting the ONE item that is vegetarian. At Shalimar there are so MANY incredibly delicious choices: dal makhani, palak saag and mushroom masala to name just a few. We've eaten here many times and shalimar never lets us down!
Saag
Like everything else we've tried at Shalimar, their Saag Paneer is excellent. The dish has great flavor, perfect consistency, and is mild. It provides a great complement to spicier, more intense offerings. I think we are fortunate to have Shalimar in SLO. It is one of the best Indian restaurants we've ever found anywhere -- even in cities ten times larger.
Lamb Vindaloo
Oh my, this dish is fabulous!
Achar
This is a fascinating flavor, very strong, pungent, delicious.
Karahi Chicken
This was our first time here and we will definitely be back. We absolutely loved all our food and service. The seasoning and food quality can not be better
Lamb Seekh Kabab
Delicious with naan
Aloo Gobi
Best Indian food in the central coast, friendly staff and clean restaurant I drive from Santa Maria to have a meal in shalimar I highly recommend this restaurant......btw try the samosas so DELICIOUS and mango lassi
Turnip Masala
We stepped outside of our comfort zone tonight and tried a new dish, and I am glad we did. The turnips were tender and the spices where flavorful but not too spicy.
Chicken Tikka Masala
Chicken tikka will always be such an easy choice for me, anywhere. But I have to say that Shalimar's is always top notch - flavorful, creamy, saucy but with the right ratio to chicken pieces. Never ever disappoints. Do I feel like the girl ordering a vanilla latte from Starbucks when I always get chicken tikka? Maybe. Do I care? NO. It's just that good hahaha :)
Butter Chicken
We went on a Monday evening for the buffet with our Indian friends. They agreed that it was very authentic and VERY delicious! The naan, fresh from the tandoori oven, was phenomenal!! Great experience altogether.
Chicken Tikka Masala
My favorite by far, top this dish with gluten free garlic naan and I am in heaven. I have traveled to and through out both Pakistan and India and these dishes and flavor rival the ones I had in both countries. So grateful to have this restaurant in our county
Butter Chicken
It is wonderful, I love it. I am so happy that I can get this dish locally at such a reasonable price with a good portion.
Chicken Tikka Masala
The chicken tikka with the naan was very delicious and super authentic! I am looking forward to come back! Best Pakistani/Indian food in the area!
Vegetable Samosas
We order these every sinlge time we order!! I love the spice it is subtle but good. Always cooked to perfection. We eat Shalimar once or twice a week =)
Chicken Tikka Masala
Soo delicious my husband has been wanting to try it to we went and this was one of the items we tried. Definitely one to get again. We also got the 'fried rice' it's spicy. Too spicy for the kids I am so happy the lady suggested getting plain rice. Customer service was awesome too Can't wait to go and eat at the restaurant soon vs take out.
Cheese Naan
Want a cheesy yet flaky, buttery carb that takes your meal to the next level? This is it! Like a more sophisticated cheese pizza that perfectly sops up the sauce and flavor on your plate.
Butter Chicken
It's a classic for a reason! This is our favorite Indian food place in SLO and we order this nearly every time.
Chicken Tikka Masala
I have been coming here for years, and have never been disappointed! The service and vibe has always been exceptional- with one of the owners always at the door (along with the hostess) to greet you. Since covid, I've started ordering ahead for take-out, and the quality of food is STILL out of this world. It's the real deal. I have to keep myself from ordering this food every day hahaha... in unrelated news, I'm going later today lol
Chicken Tikka Masala
Incredible - so tasty, i could eat it every night -- great sauce, lots of chicken. One of the tastiest I have had
Saag
This spinach dish is very delicious and flavorful! It has a perfect consistency and creaminess. We get this dish every time because it goes so well with literally everything!
Chicken Tikka Masala
Absolutely delicious! I always request it spicy and they add a perfect level to it. Creamy and bold flavors!
Palak (Saag)
I love spinach. This is a wonderful dish!
Malai Kofta
Light creamy tomato heaven with veggie balls. Packed with flavor but mild enough for my kids. A family favorite, we always have to get two orders or else we fight over it.
Shrimp Tikka
Shrimp done perfectly with spicy flavor
Chicken Biryani
It was really awesome
Bhindi
Delicious dish
Indian Chai Tea Hot or Iced
The iced chai tea here is wonderful, with rich spices that blend with the cold milk to refresh yourself while eating a savory and spicy meal! Always a great treat to have, even on it's own 😁.
Butter Chicken
Best butter chicken I've ever had, it's so creamy, tender, and flavorful. I've been ordering this weekly lately. Prices are good too, just remember it doesn't come with rice!
