We good good fresh food and excellent service Food taste was great specially BBQ & Goat Shalimar have few locations SF, Fremont Dublin & Sac
Still after 20+ years the best tasting Pakistani food in Bay Area ?
Food was good but apparently later found some of it is pre cooked and reheated for serving. Nan were made fresh and so does karahis. Run down interior, need to redo as it gives the feel of unclean. Staff was nice. Additional charges if you by card.
AMAZING food. AMAZING quality. Don’t ever change, Shalimar, lest the “foodies” come and ruin this gem. San Francisco only has room for bare, gray and white countertops. This place is real af
When it comes to food, it’s awesome. I love biryani and I had it after a really long time. And it was amazing.But sorry to say the place is awful - needs a lot of proper cleaning and obviously furnishing it gracefully. I’d not say renovation because renovation means to restore in good condition. Shalimar is already in terrible shape, but I’d be happy to help them if they need any assistance. I felt the urge to use the restroom but looking at the ambience, I decided to avoid going to the restroom.And lastly, there’s no parking which is terrible. And I can not blame #Shalimar cause the entire #SanFrancisco is a heap of garbage; there’s no parking at all. Though street parkings should be available but every path was painted white that says ‘passenger loading zone only’ or it’s painted red that says ‘bus stop’ though it’s not a stop. And by the time u see the street par without the paint, it says ‘police vehicles only’. I don’t understand why donpoloce stop or park their car in the customers’ parking spots when they already have parkings spots assigned for them? Are they afraid of walking for miles? I wish #Shalimar could think of opening the restaurant in Tracy or Hayward because #SanFrancisco and #Oakland should be known as ‘Homeless living’.Just like #California has apartments known as Senior Living, San Francisco and Oakland should be called Homeless-Drug-addicts-Living! It was terrible!P.S. The most difficult thing for me was to touch this NewYork’s times publication, i.e., the Menu Card! ?
We ask for Goat karahi but the portion was just a plate for $15 which is expensive. Also, the flavor were blatant. Seekh kabab just okay.I would only go for authentic Pakistani tandoori Naan bread. They had a nice tandoor. We went on Monday but some stuff wasn't avaliable not even salad.
So good, I had the lamb brain and the good $3 bread. I really hope I get to come back here some time. The staff was friendly as well.
One of most popular and delicious local Restaurants for outstanding Indian food. It is actually my very first foray into this amazing, spicy tongue-drenching cuisine. I first got news of it from a food network website about 10 years ago and have been a huge fan ever since. Don't let the modest decor fool you, you won't be disappointed.
Okay food, located in a rough part of town. I don’t think personally worth it. Must be better places in sfo for kebab !
Some dishes are fantastic such as chicken kofte, various naans, chicken tandoori, Masala and their rice is fantastic. Sure the place is ugly and I just wish cleanliness and basic hygiene were important to them. Sadly they are not. Many complain about service, really ?? You expect service at a hole in the wall in a city which has more homeless, druggies and pan handlers than regular citizens. !!! Cleanliness and hygiene are non existent which is true about many Pakistani Indian restaurants. It’s just part of their culture.
