Shalimar Restaurant of Clifton Park

So if you are familiar with and enjoy the multitude of Indian Buffets in the USA, this is the place to be!! A small storefront nestled in between pizza joints and supermarkets, the place is less than 2 min from the i87 highway, making it PERFECT for a quick pit stop. Or if you want an easy meal for the family or friends this is also great for folks who are either curious about Indian cuisine or are well versed in Vindaloo The staff are very attentative and welcoming, they keep all the food hot and topped off, and the buffet is spotless and very well presented. While they may be a smaller buffet, they rotate out the dishes on their dinner buffet so you can come back and try something new. Everything they make is amazing! From the Aloo Paneer Tikki to the Chicken Tandoori to the Masala

I’m glad I stopped in, I was traveling and found this place to fill up on an all you can eat buffet. The food was very warm, fresh, and cooked well! I highly recommend mixing the sauces with the food you eat! They mix well and enhance the flavors! Especially with the biryani. The restaurant is also nut friendly, for people with allergies. The biryani does have coconut in it. Other than that all the food I was shown didn’t have nuts. The deserts were my favorite definitely worth a try! I’d recommend going to this restaurant if you have time.

The gentlemen that host and wait on you are friendly and prompt. I ordered the hot spice tea and chicken samosa to start, both were perfect. My main meal was the Punjabi Lamb Korma and Garlic Naan and it came with portion of Basmati rice. For dessert I got the fried Swiss cheese balls *try them!* Every item was cooked to my liking. The staff are kind and happy to serve you with a smile, and wrapped my leftover naan up in foil for me while I boxed the rest of my leftovers. Pleasant experience, kind people, easy parking, and good food with affordable prices.

Highly recommend this Indian cuisine restaurant-very well priced and food is made to order, definitely worth a try!

For the sake of your health and wellness, spend your money elsewhere. I have gotten the takeout buffet from here a few times, but a recent experience made me regret patronizing this place! I ordered a vegetarian rice 🍚 dish for takeout and found a large piece of chicken 🐔 in it. I called the restaurant and between the two people they transfered me back and forth, they asked me multiple times what my name and order was despite having all my information as it was an online order. Then they hung up on me as I restated my complaint. Rude and dismissive behavior!! I called back and after I repeated the issue, they had the audacity to ask me to bring the food back! This begs the question, were they planning to serve it to other patrons, which of course would be a serious health code violation?!
