THE BEST!!!. This is a great little place with great food! If you are looking 4 a fancy place, go some where else but if you are looking 4 great authentic Pakistany food...? You have to try this Restaurant and you will have extra to go…
Dirtiest Kitchen.. I heard food was great so decided to check it out. Man i wish i would not gone there. I ended up having a foot long hair in my chicken tikka masala. I am still shocked, i wonder how the city allows such a nasty kitchen with there food all over on the floor and that too next to the rest room. This place should be shut down. Worst KItchen.…
Simply the Worst!. I love Indian food and have tried hundreds of restaurants in the Bay Area and Shalimar takes the prize for the worst Indian food in the city. I recently went in with friends for lunch and ordered Chicken Tikki Masala with naan, a lamb curry dish and another chicken dish. All were covered in a thick layer of grease and all three dishes were the same exact color and consistency. The lamb and tikki masala dishes had tiny bones in the sauce and the flavor was terrible. To make matters worse, the place was filthy. An absolute waste of time and $$$. Go anywhere but Shalimar!…
Authentic Pakistani cuisine and budget prices are the draws at this popular Tenderloin destination..
In Short
This Pakistani eatery counterbalances scruffy decor with rock-bottom prices and a down-to-earth atmosphere. Diners order at the counter and carry their food to their tables. Out
from the tandoor comes lamb chops, skewered chicken and delicious flatbreads stuffed with onion and potato. Other dishes include palak aloo methi, a sort of stew with spinach and potatoes, and chicken korma, a spicy curry with tender chicken that literally falls off the bone.…
Seems like an authentic place.
I've never been to Pakistan or India but this is what I imagine it would be like. Been here a few times and it's the best in class if you're looking for 1. cheap 2. fast 3. minimal but good
service 4. a unique but not elegant ambience 5. a fine San Francisco location.
Other reviewers have said anything that I might say so no need repeating. I would recomment this restaurant to tourists and locals and those who don't need to park a car around here. Just what to update the reviews to let you know it's all still true and good up to November 2006…
