Worst in every way, every day!

by eric_w_cam

Worst food, dirty interior, windows and filthy restrooms, no toilet paper, no paper towel, rude service, actually no service at all. You order in front of the counter by the kitchen, people squeeze around you to get a cup of free Indian tea (milk/black tea) from one of the two thermoses on the right of the cashier. My Tandori beef was over marinated to the point of turning pasty. The lamb tandori was burnt, dried and tasteless. $45 for 3 people, and they do not take credit card (poor uncle Sam) . If you happened not to have cash on you or enough of it, you will be sent over to the laundry mart across the shopping center where the nearest ATM machine is, to bring cash to pay for a very gross experience. All that against a tasty Rita (yogurt sauce), so it is your call.

• Pros: None
• Cons: Dirty, loud, smilly, self service, bad food, major parking problem.

Worst restaurant I've ever been!

by jacobq

A stain on the name of indian restaurant! The food was worst I've ever eaten. I couldn't even eat it after tasting a little bit. The food was cold and horrible tasting. Customer service is horrible. Dishes and water cups were smelling bad. The whole place had this nasty small that you normally get in poulty farms and pigeon coops. Me and my wife felt sick the whole day after eating there (even though we ate just a little bit). Just because of this horrible experience, from now on I'll think a hundred times before I decide to eat at an indian restaurant.

• Pros: None
• Cons: All (food, ambience, service, and value)

Most Horrible Indian Food in the Bay Area

by gaganmehra

I went to Shalimar to try the Sunday buffet after reading the great online reviews and in general being a big fan of Shalimar (SF and Fremont).

The food was the most horrible I have ever had. The bread was hard. The vegetables were half cooked. The kababs were cold and hard to chew. The dessert was cold and tasteless too when the kind they had needs to be served hot.

I told the proprietar all this but did not get a reaction. It is a waste of time and money to eat at this place.
