Shalimar Delmar

The food was delicious! I would not, however, recommend the gluten free naan made from chickpea flour. It was very very dry and lacked flavor. It was also not labeled so at first we were confused about which naan was which, we thought the onion one that said something that looked like "S/A" on it was supposed to be the GF? But everything else and the regular naan was delicious!

Returned to this place after a long hiatus. The food is pretty tasty.certainly not the best Indian, though, for the price quite reasonable. A recent experience left me and a friend puzzled and probably not to return. When my friend asked for another drink as the ice tea received was not good, they gave him an incredibly hard time, and he would need to pay for the one received and the new one. It was a very odd moment and disappointing. A manager eventually came out to try to remedy the scenario, but by that time, it was past the point of no return.
So decent food, the service definitely needs some work!

We order here very often and it’s always amazing with lots of vegetarian options. One of our favorite places!

There are better Indian restaurants in the Albany area, but for takeout, Shalimar in Delmar is the most convenient for me, and is quite good.
I have only been to one other lunch buffet at an Indian restaurant in the Albany area, and though it, too, is good, Shalimar in Delmar is better because of greater variety.

I’ve liked the food, but since when are you guys so stingy w sauces? I spent over twenty five dollars, specifically asked for extra brown and all I got was one brown and one green. I don’t like green, didn’t ruin the meal just a let down. Also took a long time for a week night. Maybe it’s a fluke so only one star.

First time ordering today! We were very impressed with the food, how neatly it was all packaged (separate meals packaged in separate brown bags, sides in one, soups in another) and it didn’t seem like there was any difference in quality compared to if we had dined in. Overall very great takeout experience and will absolutely be back in the near future.

Thus place has always been one of my favorites. I actually didn't like Indian food until I went here. Their curry is amazing, and I strongly recommend this place.

AN ABSOLUTE GEM IN DELMAR! My boyfriend and I came and we had an amazing experience. We had the vegetable samosa, which was fantastic. For our main, we had the chicken tikka masala, which is highly recommended along with the jalapeño and cheese naan bread. Everyone was very kind and you can tell they love to be here. Amazing overall, would rate higher if I could!

The food is amazing. I stop by Delaware Plaza in Delmar, NY to take care of personal business and the aroma in the air directed me to them. You won’t be disappointed.

Shalimar is OPEN FOR DINING! We just had the best dinner! The owner recommended the new feta cheese naan and it was to DIE FOR! Everything is delicious as always and everyone was so welcoming and hospitable. Shalimar will always be my favorite restaurant ️

Fantastic restaurant! If you like Indian food, I think you’ll be hard pressed to find a better place than this. The express lunch that they have until 2: 30pm is probably the best deal you’ll get anywhere else other than a buffet (which will hopefully be back here soon). I personally eat more than enough food for probably 2-3 people a day and their express lunch fills me up, is made with the same great quality every time, and comes out very quickly. Must stop local restaurant!

Had an amazing experience dining in! The owner brought a friendliness that is hard to come by and made some fantastic suggestions! The food is consistently delicious (take out or dine-in), but I know I’ll be coming in every time from now on. Hoping the buffet will come back soon!

Shalimar Delmar has the finest Indian food of any restaurant I have had in the US, Canada, England and India. Almost as good as Mom's!

Was happy to see they are open for dining in, Leo is a real sweetheart, personable and accommodating, made a dish that wasn’t even on the menu for us. Delicious authentic Indian food & nice atmosphere, we will make it a point to come back here next time we are in the area.

Wonderful atmosphere, great food, and even better service! Will definitely make our way back here for another date night

Had some great chicken korma earlier today when me and my beautiful lady friend dined in. Would 10/10 recommend this place to anyone, well worth the 35 minute drive. I wanted something that wasn’t on the menu, and Leo was more than happy to accommodate my request. Guys the man…. Food was A1 baby

The food was good. Three stars for amount of food. 4 pieces of cubed salmon and 5 pieces of jumbo shrimp not worth the price.

Rice was half cooked and has no salt added. Bland and no taste. Owner was very rude. What restaurant doesn’t have cups. Ridiculous. Won’t recommend this place to family and friends.

We went here on a whim for lunch one day. I didn’t have much experience with Indian food, but their express lunch menu made it so easy. The food was outstanding! So much flavor and cooked to perfection. All for $9 lunch! We decided to go back for dinner last night (it was that good we couldn’t wait to return) and again had a fantastic meal. The menu clearly explains the differences in food and the staff was super friendly and helpful too. I could go on and on about the food. So many flavors and simply outstanding. My 15 year old said this is ranked as her favorite food. Do yourself a flavor…I mean favor (sorry couldn’t help the pun) and check out Shalimar. You will be so glad you did!

Came in for dine in food service. Absolutely amazing food. Service is friendly, fast and inviting! Will be back again SOON!
