Very good food, my favorite so far was the chicken biryani. The staff is very friendly and you can tell they care about the food they're cooking. Will absolutely be going again. The Qorma wasn't as spicy as I expected so if you like spicier maybe mention that. The flavor was still great though! Also had the chicken 65 which was delicious.

First timer for lunch. FAST and Friendly service! The garlic naan was very large and tasty. The chicken tika was very, very good. Quality chicken and so flavorful. The rice was great. I'll be back.

One bite of my food from here and this is the best introduction to Indian food I could’ve gotten, the owner was very welcoming, had good conversation as well. Ordered the chicken tikka masala, chicken came out perfectly, seasoning was delicious, the cream was a very good texture and the white rice was very soft, major props and thanks to the cook! I hate getting hard very chewy rice so this was a major plus! All in all, would definitely recommend this place to anyone, familiar with or even brand new to Indian food. Will definitely be coming back here very soon! - Matthew

We order for delivery regularly and pick up rarely but the food is always consistently great! When I pick up they are so so pleasant and really customer focused. Everything we order is always good and I especially love their vegetable samosas! Wonderful food, kind people, and convenient! What’s not to love!?

The food here is to die for. When I want the best biryani I’ve ever had, this is my go to. The food is consistent, delicious, and made with love. Every time I get my order it is like picking up a meal my grandma made. Every person there is so pleasant and they take pride in their cooking. The spice levels are no joke, so if you’re not into spice be sure to ask for mild. I’ve been ordering from here at least twice a month since the week they opened and it’s a place you can’t afford to skip out on.

I love the food and the service is great! Lots of great options, including vegetarian. It's absolutely great no matter what you've ordered you can expect it to be delicious. My favorite thing here is extra spicy genuinely means spicy. A lot of places act like a slight kick means "extra" spicy when it's a true mild at best. I love this place.

This place is great. The food and service is way above average. I’ve orders a number of different things from their menu and everything has been amazing and consistently so. Highlight for me are the Chicken Vindaloo, Tandoori Chicken, Samosas and the Mango Lassi. Do yourself a favor and give them a try.

Ordered Chicken Tikka Masala, extra hot. The chef made it perfectly. Just the right amount of spice. Great food! Will return.

Can’t recommend this place enough. Without a doubt not only the best Indian I’ve ever had, but the best food I’ve ever had entirely. The chicken tikka masala and biryani tasted like it was made by gods. The amount of care and love that goes into their food is incredible. The naan was delicious as well. You can tell they use a tandoor to cook it, it’s perfect. All of the food had lots of spice too it, caught myself sniffling at times. If you’re on the edge about trying this place, do yourself a favor and call them now and order one of everything. Trust me. You will not be disappointed.

Tried these guys on a whim last week and I'm already back for more. Honestly some of the best Indian food I've had in a while. Great prices and the people who work there are so nice. I wholeheartedly recommend their food!

This is a great little take out shop with deliciousness. Try that mango drink they have in the cooler. I want like 3 gallons of the stuff. Also, the cheese naan was top notch

This Indian spot is hands-down the best in the area (and other states as well) The Chicken Tikka Masala is so savory & tasty - And I love it spicy. When I ask for it spicy they make it Indian spicy - It’s absolutely perfect. I lived in Dallas for awhile and tried nearly every spot there. Doesn’t even come close to the Tandoori House. I can’t even imagine there being 1 bad review on here, they seriously don’t know what they’re talking about. Try any other spot in the capital region and see if it comes close (it doesn’t) - The owner is so nice as well. Will always return here. Love it.

Not bad. I ordered the Chicken Tikka Masala. For 12.99 I felt the portion was large. It was probably the more spicer tikka masala I've ever had, not too spicy though. I would of liked to have some onions and green peppers in the sauce. It seemed like 5 pieces of chicken swimming in sauce. The garlic Naan was good. It's huge. I ordered To go and my order was ready on time.

Very friendly and great prices, but all three of the curries we purchased were very skimpy on the chicken. The naan was very good. Cannot recommend the chicken 65. Tastes a lot like ketchup. The tikka masala was very good though.

If you like Indian food at all. Then don’t come here. I LOVE chicken tikka masala and this… was just basically Campbell’s tomato soup… with 5 pieces of chicken. Awful. Watery and smells weird

I ordered from here multiples time before and today I am highly disappointed with the food. The chicken Tikka massala taste like tomato soup and have small chunks of chicken tasting like it came from a can, for $15 this is highly unacceptable. I also order lamb biryani medium and it has no taste at all and no spice. Additional I got the samosa and was not given any sauce with them, they were dry and hard. For the price I pay from my meal I shouldn’t have to order a second dinner. I will never be coming here again!!

The worst Indian food I have ever had. Canned chicken in Campbell’s tomato soup instead of real chicken tikka. Save your money and order from Shalimar. The photo is all of the chicken I received in my order next to the amount of tomato soup in the package. Check out how the chicken is the exact size and shape of canned chicken.

The worst food I’ve ever had!! Ordered Chicken Tikka Masala, Butter Naan & Chicken Biryani. Chicken tikka masala was none other than stale tomato soup with canned chicken, naan’s felt like frozen(just heated)

Not one to complain typically. I door dashed this establishment, so I cannot speak to in person experience. I typically give a place 3 chances, but this experience was sub standard enough that I will not be returning. I ordered vindaloo chicken that was almost completely potato. There was barely any chicken at the party. It was okay flavor wise. Barely any lamb in my byriani as well. By barely I counted 4 small hunks in the chicken, maybe 6 small pieces of lamb. My mattar paneer had NO peas. None. The dish is peas in sauce with paneer cheese. No peas. But I will say the sauce was pretty tasty. The garlic naan was decent. The Kashmiri naan was sub par as well. I was under the weather and should have reached out to the restaurant but I did not. I just won’t be back.
