Shalimar Kabab House

I ordered the full Iftar menu from Shalimar and, as always, everything was absolutely wonderful. The spread included pakoras, samosas, fruit chaat, chicken karahi, chana, nihari, kababs, gajar ka halwa, kheer, and fresh naan — and every single item was flavorful and perfectly prepared. The pakoras and samosas were crispy and fresh, the fruit chaat was refreshing, and the chicken karahi and nihari were rich and full of authentic taste. The kababs were tender and well-seasoned, and the naan was soft and served warm. To top it off, the gajar ka halwa and kheer were the perfect sweet ending to a fantastic meal. Shalimar never disappoints — consistent quality, authentic flavors, and generous portions every time. Highly recommended, especially for Iftar!

Visited Shalimar Kabab House, Lawrenceville for the first time. The restaurant was very busy when we arrived, but as first-time customers we were a bit confused about the ordering and seating process. We stood at the entrance for a few minutes and didn’t receive any guidance, so we had to observe others to understand that it’s counter ordering and self-seating. We ordered chicken bone-in karhai , paneer karhai , plain naan, butter naan, garlic naan, chicken biryani, and a mango milkshake. The food was decent but not outstanding — both karhai had a strong tomato flavor that overpowered the dishes. The biryani was okay, and the mango milkshake was good. Overall, the experience was average, mainly due to the lack of guidance and okay-ish food. We may visit again to try their popular or recomm

Shalimar Kabob House: Amazing Food, Friendly Vibe! Shalimar Kabob House is a fantastic spot that proves you don't need a fancy setting to have an incredible meal. It's a comfortable, casual place where the focus is squarely on serving top-notch food with genuinely excellent service. The Star of the Show: Mango Chicken Curry (A Must-Try!) While the whole menu is excellent, the Mango Chicken Curry is the absolute standout. It's a rich, perfectly balanced dish—tender chicken swimming in a vibrant sauce that hits that sweet and savory spot just right. It's the kind of dish that makes this casual eatery feel like a five-star experience.

Don't let the location fool you. This is some of the best Indian quisine I've ever eaten. If you like tomato based stews, the lamb Tikka Masala has a nice creamy tomato base, seasoned just right. Now, if you like spicy, the Lamb Korma is the way to go, and is also seasoned perfectly. Very friendly customer service if you're not sure what to order. The portions are big. So depending on how hungry you are, you'll definitely have enough to take for lunch the next day. Oh, and don't forget the Naan, which pairs perfectly with both the Korma and Masala.

Had a great experience at the Shalimar! Special thanks to server Umer. he was extremely polite, attentive, and professional. His service made our stay more comfortable and enjoyable. He was always ready to help with a smile and handled everything efficiently. Truly excellent service. Highly recommended!
