When my wife first came to Canada, I took her to Shalimar. I knew the service was exceptional, the selection at the buffet is simply delicious & the atmosphere is relaxing, perfect for a romantic getaway! I'd been there years ago - a buffet for my friend's birthday, & remembered it vividly. I'll admit I bit off more than I could chew on that date (vindaloo chicken is spicy & I wanted to impress my fiancée) but we still had a wonderful time. Yet it was coming back nearly every Wednesday or Thursday since our wedding to get some of the à la carte menu that we began truly appreciating this wonderful place. We learned from our server Tim - shoutout to Tim, you're awesome - that the kitchen is suited with a genuine tandoori oven & the recipes are family traditions, even homemade! You're not getting anymore authentic in the Eastern Townships. Is it a little pricey? Sure, a little bit, but for quality like this, I'm willing to pay through the nose! The food is succulent, their butter chicken being a personal favourite, with generous portions that leave you full & happy. The staff is pleasant & professional - thank you again Tim - & the restaurant is warm, inviting & relaxing! You'll find me & my wife in Shalimar as often as we can & we hope to see you there as well!

Excellent service with very friendly & deeply professional staff. Food is always amazing. While a touch pricey as compared to other places, the quality of the food & service are worth every cent. Try the samosas (veggie or meat), they're fantastic. Wednesdays & Thursdays are ideal days to visit. Other days are buffet, which is excellent also. However, if you want to experience the full menu, Wed & Thu are best!

If you haven't tried this restaurant yet, you gotta go now. The butter chicken & the naan bread are to die for. The service is awesome.

Traveling through on the way to the States & was very impressed with Shalimar. Quite busy but staff was wonderful. Menu a little limited but lots of food per order. Lamb dish was fabulous. They accomodated our English. Would eat here again.

My boyfriend wasn't a fan of Indian cuisine until he tried the Chicken Tikka Masala from this place. Thank you, Shalimar, for converting him!
