Description: Growing up in an immigrant Indian family, we understood that America is the land of opportunity, where dreams come true. We're grateful to all the guests who have given us the opportunity to share our vision. Some restaurants are ideal for special occasions. Indeed we hope many of you, our guests, will celebrate birthdays, anniversaries and other memorable events with us. But, at Shalimar we strive to make every lunch and dinner a special occasion for every guest. When we open the doors to the restaurant for lunch, dinner or catering, it's as if we're opening the doors to our own homes and inviting guests to enjoy extraordinary food paired with a rich Indian lager beer or a glass of wine from our extensive wine list. Our menu features the finest Northern Indian entrees and our specialty Tandoori (Clay Oven) dishes. Shalimar is elegant, relaxed, and affordable, inviting guests to enjoy the hospitality that reflects our Indian heritage.

In my opinion, Shalimar is the best Indian food in Louisville. Pretty space, excellent service. Usually busy at lunch as they have a buffet. Great date night option.

We love Shalimar and are never disappointed when we have an evening meal there. The service is absolutely the best. Service is always quick - I don't think our water glasses ever got more than half-empty before they were filled again. When I needed a box for the rest of my meal they brought one quickly and then returned with... More

I was introduced to this wonderfully different taste just a few years ago in K. City & can't get enough of it. I would of given a five star to Shalimar's if the buffet was much bigger. It was quite small & was disappointed even though it was delicious.

We stopped in on a Friday evening after seeing the reviews here. I had never tried Indian cuisine before but my co-worker agreed to walk me through the menu. We ordered a few different things to try and truthfully I was really enjoying it. We had ordered ours with mild seasoning as I was concerned with how hot it would... More

Made a trip to Shalimar this week withy husband and friends, because I had purchased a Groupon... Actually arrived and realized we hadn't much time to spare, so we grabbed the lunch buffet. Normally, I wouldn't never do this..(buffets aren't my thing).. But nevertheless, we did. Turned out to be a terrible idea. The restaurant itself was very nice, I... More

I have eaten at this establishment many times and am always eager to go back, especially for the lunch buffet, which is available seven days a week. It is hard to imagine how they can offer such delicious food in great variety and have it be so consistent, but the folks at Shalimar make it happen day after day, year... More

Great food. Have been here over 10 times (always the buffet.) If you are a fan of Indian food, you will not be disappointed. Large selection of entrees and sides, various levels of spice, and different flavors. Good service (refilled water glasses 5 times) and friendly staff. Can get crowded, but that is a sign of a good restaurant. Reasonable... More
