Shalimar King of Sweets & Restaurant

We had a wonderful Iftar experience at Shalimar. The arrangements were thoughtfully planned with tables beautifully set up with fruits, snacks, and a variety of refreshing drinks to help break the fast. Everything was organized in a very comfortable and welcoming way. What truly stood out was the attention to detail. There was a dedicated space available for prayer after breaking the fast, which made the experience even more meaningful and convenient. Following that, dinner was served with a wide variety of delicious dishes that catered to different tastes. The ambience was warm and inviting, and the service was excellent. The staff were attentive, constantly cleaning and making sure everything was well maintained throughout the evening. Overall, it was a well-organized and pleasant Ift

I have been coming to Shalimar for many years, and they have truly been a staple in New Jersey for over 35 years. Their food has always been consistently delicious and never disappoints. About a year and a half ago, they opened their new hall, which is spacious, well organized, and perfect for hosting larger gatherings and events. We recently attended their iftar and had a wonderful experience. Even before maghrib, the table was set with a generous variety including chaat, pakoras, and a burger, with additional items like lollipop chicken added that day. Each guest was also served a mocktail, water, and dates to break their fast.. The iftar buffet itself offered a wide variety of dishes with plenty of options to choose from, making it a very satisfying and well rounded experience. Everyt

Visited Shalimar Grill for Sahoor buffet and had mixed experiences. Live omelette (chicken and cheese) was a highlight, and overall food was good. However, no water included in the buffet and having to pay extra for it was a major letdown. Tea and shai tukray were below average. At $40+ (including 18% gratuity and taxes) without water, it's a miss for me. Won't recommend unless they revisit their buffet package 💔

We always have a great experience at Shalimar Restaurant! Our server Abdul is amazing — he’s always kind, attentive, and makes every visit special. Each time we come, he recommends the best dishes from the menu, and he never misses! Today he treated us to a new dessert planned for next month’s menu — the Toffee Cake — and it was honestly the best cake ever! Super flavorful, rich, and absolutely hit the spot. Highly recommend both the restaurant and Abdul’s service!

So I’ve been a LONG TIME customer of this restaurant since 2006 back when there used to be Shalimar Food Land next door. Since then, they’ve merged and become one. And just recently they really renovated the restaurant and dining room. The ambiance was very nice and the staff are generally nice. Very busy nights which is good. While the food was generally quite good such as the Gobi Manchurian, the goat korma, cheese kebab, and palak paneer could’ve been better. Again I used to come here a lot and prior to the renovation, they used to have a very good goat korma and chicken cheese kebab. The goat korma definitely became more “light” while the chicken cheese kebab tasted a bit dry. The palak paneer tasted a little old. I feel like while the restaurant in general is very nice and welcoming,
