Absolutely delicious! The rice is perfectly fluffy, and the Chicken Tikka Masala is packed with flavor and has a fantastic texture. The Raita pairs wonderfully with the Garlic Naan. Everything is exceptional, as always!
On a positive note, the garlic naan was fantastic! It was full of flavor and fluffy—definitely my favorite part of the meal. I'm not sure if the restaurant allows you to specify your preferred spice level, but if you enjoy spicy food, it's a good idea to mention that in your order.
The food was decent, but I felt overcharged for some items, especially given the portion sizes. A few weeks ago, I ordered Aloo Paratha from Shalimar in Latham, and it was fantastic with a generous portion for just $5. However, when I tried the same dish at Shalimar in Troy, it cost $8, and the portion was less than half of what I received before! My order, which included Aloo Paratha, Chicken Biryani, naan, and a small portion of Paneer Makhani, totaled $55 after fees, tax, and tip. That seems excessively high for a light lunch for two people.
Amazing delicious food.So many great spices and flavors. Restaurant and cooks need more credit definitely. They’re so kind here and if you ordered something you have an allergy to in the dish they will let you know, even call you back. Dietary restrictions: Let them know and they will accommodate! So great
