Shalimar - Munich

Been here a couple of times now due to its handy location near a friend :) and very close to Isartor S-Bahn/trams. Good service there, extremely friendly - we had a free glass of Prosecco on arriving, free poppadoms, and a free round of those weird mango shots at the end. Not sure everyone always gets those but we did on the last occasion we went. Food was good too, perhaps not up there with Swagat or New Delhi but nevertheless fine and I was suitably stuffed at the end of it. They also do a wide variety of cocktails here, and it's possible to sit cross-legged at low tables if you prefer, or to sit normally. We will definitely go back, which is perhaps the best summary!

Friendly service and good food. What more do you need? Lucy.

They do a lunch buffet during the week: 2 vegetarian dishes and 1 meat dish, plus rice and noodles, for around 6 euros if I remember correctly. Bread and drinks are extra. To be honest I wasn't too impressed. The food was bland and not at all spicy. In future I'll stick to Goa for my lunchtime curry.

Honestly one of the better Indian Restaurants in Munich..service is excellent as is the food. They will basically spice it up as much as you'd like to have it. Really cosy corner area where you take your shoes off!!..can also smoke a water pipe to round off your meal - definately worth a visit..or two!!

Really disappointed. Went because it came top in the Prinz Top Guide this year (I shall never trust them again!), but the plates were cold, as was the rice, and the curry itself was mild and bland even though I'd asked for it a spicy. Shame, because the staff were really friendly and it's all nicely done out inside. My advice would be to go to the Ganesha in Haidhausen instead. Cheaper and miles better food.

Not a good experience. My starter of vegetable samosas were still frozen in the middle when they arrived. And I mean, frozen. Rock hard. Sent them back to the kitchen and then had them returned a couple of minutes later, boiling hot, obviously thanks to a quick spin in the microwave. Can't really comment on the main course, I'd lost my appetite by then.

Went there last week. being indian, I see myself as an authority on Indian restaurants. The food was excellent, and really good value. The Prawn puri nearly blew my head off but was so delicious it was hard to put down. I will definitely be back!

i'm convinced there is only one really good Indian chef in Munich and he spends his time working at a different Indian restaurant around Munich. sometimes at Goa, sometimes at Shalimar, sometimes at Shanai etc, etc...

Delicious food and nice environment.

Has a original taste.

shalimar, all you can eat 6,50€ buffet. best restaurant in munich by miles for service and quality.

I first went to the Shalimar in 2005 when the place was new and now that I'm back in Munich I'm delighted to see that it's still up and running. The à la carte menu is really good, but you can't beat the €6.50 buffet for value. The guys here are really friendly, it has great atmosphere and it feels very welcoming.

Congratulations to the Shalimar for getting top approval ratings yet again in the secret tests in the latest issue of Prinz Magazine - it's well-deserved. I've been going there for years and have never been disappointed. I wish I could be a secret curry taster too - it's just the job for me!

Had myself the lunch buffet today. Great value for money: good taste and ok choice. Very suitable for vegetarians. Will certainly go there again.

nice place for outing,damien
