Pretty average to be fair.Saturday evening takeaway.We ordered a couple of starters , a main dish , rice and bread.20mins late coming out kitchen, poor customer relations (ie multiple people walking in without being acknowledged Inc me) , food barely hot once home and I only luce around the corner.6/10.Shalimar is not what it use to be.Shame really as ive been going here for about 25 years and this isn't the first in the last year I have had this experience.I feel its just an average Indian restaurant / takeaway, nothing special.

Long wait for everything from taking orders, to being served. Food is just ok, not terrible, but not great.

Table booked for 8pm but when we arrived no table available and the restaurant was over run. Ordered drinks while we waited but these didn't arrive after 15 mins waiting for drinks and no visible sign of a table becoming available we left and went to a lovely restaurant elsewhere in the area. Will definitely not be back to the shalimar anytime soon.

Service was good nice advice about mixture of food to share. The food was good quality and portions were good size and all meats were cooked and seasoned well. Very enjoyable!

The best curry in Hampshire. Have been coming here for over 20 years now. Never fails to disappoint. The food and service is fantastic. I wish the venue was larger with more parking as that can be an issue in peak times.

The food was lovely as always made even better by the attentive, friendly staff.

Shame you have to leave a star to write a review as this place don't deserve a single star.Had food to take away and it was freezing cold. Rice was like it had been cooked a long time ago and left sitting somewhere, curry was so cold it had started to congeal.Only edible thing was a bhaji, but this was also cold.I live a 2 minute drive from the restaurant so distance was not the issue. Poppadoms were stale and starting to become bendy rather than crisp, naan was oily, and you guessed it, cold!Very disappointed as local people spoke highly of the place.Called to let the restaurant know about the cold food, they couldn't seem to care less. No refund offered, we shouldn't have to ask to be refunded if the food is unsatisfactory. I would gladly have given the food back if they would have liked.Won't be back so thanks for reassuring us the food will be warm next time!Avoid avoid avoid.
I loved the restaurant, the service was great and the food was wonderful. I wanted them to move to Birmingham and said i would be their best customer. Can't wait to go there again.

What a place for an evening impromptu evening out. Used as a takeaway many a time and have dined here before but not realised jist how much better it is to eat in. Place was packed which is a great sign in this day amd age. Thourougly enjoyed it.

I have been going here for years, tonight was the 3rd bad takeaway in a row. I won’t be returning. It tasted like a jar of pataks sauce and it was cold. 0/10

Will never go anywhere else since finding this gem. The food is well above anywhere else. The bonus is that the staff are amazing and it's in a well decorated building to give a great atmosphere.
