Shalimar - Troy

The Lamb Curry was good but everything was watery and the Chicken Curry was like water down butter chicken and it lacked in flavor the Garlic Naan thought was the most delicious out of everything rice was good.

The tikka masala is not as good as it used to be : rice portion too small and sauce was watery and was a unnatural pink color

The food was decent, but I felt overcharged for some items, especially given the portion sizes. A few weeks ago, I ordered Aloo Paratha from Shalimar in Latham, and it was fantastic with a generous portion for just $5. However, when I tried the same dish at Shalimar in Troy, it cost $8, and the portion was less than half of what I received before! My order, which included Aloo Paratha, Chicken Biryani, naan, and a small portion of Paneer Makhani, totaled $55 after fees, tax, and tip. That seems excessively high for a light lunch for two people.

I give this restaurant four stars for its good Indian cuisine. However, I have to deduct one star due to the unsettling bathroom in the basement.

The owner and staff at this restaurant are excellent. They genuinely care about making sure you enjoy your dining experience. While the decor isn't particularly impressive, the atmosphere is cozy and clean, making it a pleasant place to eat. The prices are a bit on the higher side, but they seem reasonable for the neighborhood.
