Spicey sauces were good. Veggies were from a frozen mix you can find at Costco. Ambience was nonexistent. Staff were friendly. Price was a bit high for the overall experience. Will probably not go back. More

My wife and I are frequent customers at the Shalimar restaurant on Duckworth St. We've found the food at this family-run restaurant consistently good. It's one of our favourites in town! More

It was overall pretty good. I would go back to most of them....everything in the downtown area is pretty good. More

This was my second time trying the lunch buffet here and I must say it has improved compared to my first try last year.

We ordered the butter chicken, beef korma, and vegetable Jalfrezi, along... More
