Obsessed, I order all the time. go to comfort food. It's always ready quick and it's so consistently good.

NO MORE LUNCH OR DINNER BUFFET. I called today and asked, 10.06.2024. I mentioned that a buffet was still on the website and was told that it was old information. Too bad. Great food, location, and parking. Glad it's still here.

By the looks of the orders ready to be picked up, our decision to do carry-out is a popular one for this restaurant. Foodvwas hit and well-packed, and serving sizes (including the rice) were large. Food was delicious; medium spice was milder than I'd have expected yet still very good. We sampled saag paneer, shrimp bhuna, Nav ratan shahi korma, and chicken tikki masala -- all were excellent. Garlic naan was ok. Looking forward to trying more on their menu next time.

I ordered takeout from here a week ago after an extremely exhausting day at work! I had seen a video online of someone eating Indian food and knew that's what I was craving for dinner that night. I ordered Chicken Tikka Masala and garlic naan. That's the most basic order for non-Desi individuals, but I know what I like! I actually really wanted butter chicken, but I didn't see it as an option so I settled for the tikka masala. Here's the thing...I loved the sauce on top of the rice and scooped with garlic naan. The chicken itself feels dry even considering that it's soaked in sauce. I'm not sure if it was cooked separately, or if it just had been sitting for a while, but the texture of the chicken was not my favorite. Admittedly, I am pretty picky about chicken. However, it's still something that didn't "wow" me. I was lucky enough that my fiance picked up the food, so I didn't get to see how the restaurant was or what the ambiance is. He said the service was friendly and that it was ready at the time they said it would be. So, yes it was good, but it didn't blow my mind the way I am waiting for an Indian restaurant to do.

I wasn't sure how this place was going to be but so glad we gave it a friend. Our meals were great, it was fast, and great service. We got chicken vindaloo (red one) and chicken curry and garlic naan.

Shalimar Indian Restaurant is located in Broad Ripple at the Broad Ripple Station strip mall. My fiancee and I recently moved to Indianapolis and like to eat Indian food. The reviews and the pricing intrigued us, so we wanted to check it out. Also, unfortunately crime struck the area and some armed burglar shot out the door while trying to rob Caliente (the next-door establishment). So, we wanted to show our support for small businesses and get some takeout from Shalimar. I cannot talk too much about the ambiance other than the interior made me nostalgic. It has red carpet with ample seating and buffet table near the entrance. If you dine at Shalimar, you can use a stamp card to get a free dinner once you've collected 10 stamps (2 stamps for every time you have dinner there, 1 stamp every time you have lunch). I got Malai Kofta, and my partner got the Jalfreezi. Vegans, no worry (most vegetarian entrees can be made vegan). I had a little cold, and hot curry is always the solution. I would give my Malai kofta 4.2 out of 5 stars. It's well made, not oily, and with properly made kofta balls. It could have used a bit more spice and salt, but I didn't request it to be made spicy (so maybe that's on me). My fiancee rated her dish 4/5 stars. I would definitely consider going back for sit down dining. It makes me feel like I was 10 years old again, and I was fascinated with the idea of going out to eat at an Indian restaurant while being in an Indian family. You get to eat the food your mom normally doesn't make because Indian food is so different based on the region. I hope others get a chance to support our small businesses in Broad Ripple and let them know that we are here to stay. We hope they do as well.

I hadn't had Indian food prior to coming to this place so I can't compare it to anything, however, if this is what Indian food taste like, I am definitely a fan! Tried this place on a whelm, and didn't quite know what to order however, the person that I was with did we ordered a variety of different foods just so I could sample them all. the place was empty. However, the DoorDash people were coming in nonstop to pick up to go orders. Our server who is also one of the family members that own the restaurant was fantastic. She made recommendations to us things that she didn't like and the food came out so very quickly!my favorite dish was the butter chicken. It was absolutely amazing. I will definitely be going back ASAP! Oh, and the great thing is although it's in Broadripple parking is free.

My partner and I thoroughly enjoyed our dine in experience at Shalimar this evening! We were greeted and seated promptly. Our server gave us a thin, crispy wafer (papadam?), filled our water glasses, and then gave us some time to look over the menu. Our appetizers came out quickly, and the entrees followed immediately after because he knew we were hungry! The lentil soup wasn't what I was expecting, but it grew on me over time. Strong cilantro and lemon flavors that were warm and comforting--I imagine it'd be perfect if you're sick. The samosas came with three different dipping sauces: a sweet brown, an almost lime green mint chutney, and a spicy red relish. All were good. Garlic naan was also good. My chicken curry wasn't very spicy (I ordered medium), but was delicious nonetheless. I tried my partner's biryani and it was also good. Servers were kind, friendly, and just seemed happy that we were enjoying the food. We'll definitely be back!

Door dash order, everything arrived hot and delicious Lamb korma- the lamb was tender and not fatty, had a very nice thick gravy with noticeable chunks of cashew and raisin Coconut soup- never had it before but love it...creamy and delicious Paratha- traveled well, was thin and flaky and not at all greasy Peshwari- this was the only thing I didn't love, the naan was well loaded with coconut and raisins but the bread itself was a little tough All in all, I'd definitely order again
