Such a wonderful place to grab lunch. Great price and great buffet. I had a wonderful time catching up with my friend at this location. She recommended it to me and I recommend them now also! Staff was very nice and professional.

Nice quiet place that gives you great food at an amazing rate. We ordered chicken biryani and korma and it didn't disappoint! I recommend anyone go here and try their delicious cuisine.

I’ve been ordering from these guys for a while on UberEats, and I’m happy to recommend them to anyone. They’ve done some nice special requests on the food before, and the quality is always top notch. Overall, it’s the best in Delmar/Glenmont.

Had a very unique but one of the most flavorful Chana masalas ever! The sauce resembles a paneer makhani but even at medium spice level, it packs a punch!

These guys kick ass. They must be responsible for 150 of my 300 lbs having been a staple in Albany as long as I can remember.. Not sure if it is new or what but you better put another notch in your belt fizz cause you can get take out on the lunch buffet, pay by weight. They give you some hot out of the oven nann (bread) and a cute little keer in a coleslaw cup. Maybe even a fork if you are playing your cards right. For dinner, try the Shrimp Palak. I doubt you will be disappointed.

Stopped here for lunch on July 4 weekend as our usual go to place in Delmar was closed. After perusing the buffet we both went for it! One vegetarian one not. Naan, vegetable korma, tandoori chicken, two kinds of rice, vegetable pakoras, cabbage, etc etc. plus salad makings. Gulab jamon for dessert. Delicious and well worth $15. Somebody complained about bottled iced tea? Be grateful that they had unsweetened ice tea. Some cold items available for take out. I got a container of raita that was creamy and delicious but too much dill! We will be back!

Love this place! Had a prime rib debacle on Christmas Day and my family pivoted to Indian takeout. I was so thankful they were open, had food ready quickly (no preorder needed) and were pleasant! I love mulligatawny soup and they do it perfectly. My family also shared samosa chaat, onion and jalapeño cheese naan, falafel, chicken tikka masala, palak paneer and lamb Rogan Josh. Everything was chefs kiss. A highlight to an end of a stressful Christmas meal. Can’t wait to eat more!

Every single dish we ate was superb. I loved the coconut and saffron naan. The owner was delightful, very generous, and accommodating. It’s an unassuming restaurant with a treasure of delicious food and kind people inside. Do yourself a favor and try it!

AMAZING! My first Shalimar experience and it did not disappoint. Leo, the owner, is excellent and takes care of everyone of his customers. Amazing food and even better experience. A must try!

Had a great meal today, the weekday lunch buffet, which was well stocked with a lot of variety of foods. This place has a ton of flavorful options for vegetarians. This was my first visit to the buffet and I was impressed with the food and the kindness and service of the staff and owner. I’ve had take out a few times, and the delivery has always been hot and quick! I will definitely be taking friends with me here the next time I come in. This is a photo of my second plate, where I tried to grab all the stuff I missed the first time around. ;)

This establishment is a little bit dated yet comfortable. Service was slow yet available. Otherwise decent Indian food for the area.

Terrible takeout. No flavor at all. No seasoning in rice, no flavor or veggies in the masala. Paneer was dry and hard. Even the garlic naan was non remarkable. I would not recommend and will not go back.

Hi just called to confirm the price of 2 meals , because the person on the line couldnt speak clearly he ,got very snotty. I only called because the prices werent listed on the menu. Word of advice if you want to keep your business thriving drop the snotty attitude you wont be in business very long. I use to like this restaurant after the nasty transaction over the phone im annoyed and will never step foot in that establishment again .

The worst Indian food I have ever had. Zero spices or flavor of any kind. My Tikka Marsala was like Donald Trump, orange and tasteless. The chicken was rubbery and undercooked. The rice was so hard it sounded like a hailstorm when i poured it into the bowl. Huge 2" chunks of nearly raw peppers for no reason. It tasted like nothing so i put store bought tikka masala seasoning i had at home on it just so i could eat it. This is a real shame because the troy location has always been good. Zero stars. Worst Indian food of my life. I put some in the dog bowl but the dog won't eat it either.

I'm so sorry but this was the worst Indian food I've ever had. The sauces were "broken" and bland. The dahl lentils were hard and not cooked. The samosa crust was not crispy and it's filling was mush. The man working the counter was the opposite of welcoming. Worst $120 I've ever spent. And this was me trying to be nice. Don't do it.

I am disappointed by the unprofessional response to my honest feedback regarding my recent visit to your establishment. As a paying customer, I believe I am entitled to share my experience without being dismissed as providing "bogus" feedback. During my visit for the lunch buffet, I paid $16 for a meal that left much to be desired. The buffet options were lacking, with many trays nearly empty. Despite watching other patrons request fresh items, the replenishment was slow, and several trays remained empty of meat, containing only sauce. Moreover, the iced tea served in a bottle felt impersonal and did not align with the dining experience I expected for the price paid. I believe in providing constructive criticism to help businesses improve, but your dismissive response implies a lack of concern for customer satisfaction. I urge you to take customer feedback seriously and strive to enhance the dining experience for future patrons.

Horrible tasting food (I’m Indian-American). Place looks run down and unsanitary; and price for portion sizes, as many have confirmed, is abominable. Don’t go here! See pics- this cost $20 with taxes. Overall a waste of my evening. That’s time and appetite I’m never getting back. I actually went back (40 miles driving altogether with two trips) and returned the food for a refund as a matter of principle (have a video to prove it). The guy proceeded to record me without consent 😬. This is not surprising given how the owner responds to any critical reviews below- calling them bogus and finding faults with the customer. Absolute nonsense.
