Review Shalimar Deluxe - Bengaluru

Good place if you want to try mangalorean food in Indiranagar. There is alcohol present here for affordable prices but no cocktails are available. The chicken ghee roast and prawn ghee roast are very good here and also make up as good starters or sides for the booze. Service is okay but overall it's a good place to dine at.

Overall descent place to spend time with friends and colleagues 🍻 . Reasonable prices on both food and drinks. Clean tables. Totally value for money and surprisingly in main Indira Nagar location. ‘Rasam’’ is a must try drink. Don’t miss

A Culinary Odyssey at Shalimar Restaurant And Bar While Shalimar Restaurant And Bar in Indiranagar certainly lived up to its reputation for culinary excellence, there were occasional delays in service during peak hours. Service at Shalimar was prompt and attentive, with the staff displaying a commendable knowledge of the menu. The servers were courteous, enhancing the overall dining experience. However, the staff's efforts to ensure a positive experience, coupled with the delectable food, overshadowed these minor hiccups. In conclusion, Shalimar Restaurant And Bar in Indiranagar offers a delightful amalgamation of flavors and experiences. Its inviting ambiance, diverse menu, and commitment to culinary authenticity make it a noteworthy establishment in the city's vibrant dining scene.

Established in 1980, this bar and restaurant continues to attract its old clientele who've grown or working within let's say 4 to 5 kilometres around this restaurant and bar. It also warmly welcomes new visitors. Although you may find the place to be tacky but trust me in no time you will begin to like it as it serves the best of food with generous hospitality and affordable pricing :). The ambience is basic(4th floor), don't have any great expectations with the interiors. Your only intention to go there should be to sit with a group of friends/colleagues/cousins/couples holding your favourite drink, food and lots of conversations 😁. They have a projector screen where cricket/football matches are displayed but with no volume( 4th floor- non AC- smoking permitted). The third floor is AC. Try their rasam, it's really good and complimentary. Please note that It's not a kid-friendly place and parking is at your own risk. They close by 12AM. A lift facility is available.

This place is a cracker! Excellent food, fast service, fairly clean restrooms, well behaved fellow tipplers, clean premises, fair prices, and great location. One star less for just two reasons - while very efficient, the wait staff aren't particularly friendly or offer useful suggestions, so you're on your own while ordering. Next, while the depot/godown type ambience with the super high ceiling is really cool, the lack of AC or even overhead fans means open season for mosquitoes. The large Almonards stuck to the walls anyways won't be good at throwing air at your feet and are really never switched on, and that's understandable because they can make a real racket. So better wear something that covers your legs and socks for your feet. If you're a teetotaller and also a vegetarian, walk in with a couple of electric mosquito bats and bring some joy to your life.

This is a great place to relax and crack open a cold one with the boys. Although I do not drink, the food and ambiance keeps bringing me back here from time to time. They have a good selection of Mangalorean food on offer since the coastal cuisine restaurant right below is owned by the same people. Neer dosa with fish curry is great. Biryani and chicken starters were good too. To do: Grab some Masala Peanuts, Cucumbers and some starters with a few beers for a good time.

Visited this place on multiple occasions, the place is not crowded and you can get a table. Tried multiple starters here, nost of the them were good. Lemon chicken was not good. Pudina chicken was OK OK. Guntur chicken was spicy and amazing. Egg bonda was amazing.

A budget friendly bar where most of the customers are kind of regular. The roof top space is nice and smoke friendly. Decent food, must try one is their chilli egg. The only negative i found is the noisy ambience. There is almost no parking available... So one must park somewhere nearby and walk to the bar is recommended. Service vise it's decent, nothing extra ordinary. .

Garlic chicken is something different in this place and the taste is 5/5. Chicken manchow soup was not that good 3/5.

The food at this place is finger licking good. The best place I've been to in my latest Bangalore trip. I tried their prawns ghee roast which was amazing but a subtle chilli flavour but not too spicy and their chicken mughlai which was amazing. It is the best chicken mughlai I've ever had. They have a smoking room right in the middle of the restaurant which is weird and good.

If you're looking for a place to chill with others over cheap food and drinks, Shalimar's what you're looking for.<br/><br/>The ambience is more that of a family restaurant, the rooftop space is better when the weather's good, and the prices almost can't be beat by any other place.<br/><br/>The egg fried rice and khichdi are exceptional here.<br/><br/>The larger your group, the more you order, but the cheaper it seems to be when you divvy up the expenses.

Tasty and delicious food. But need to work a bit more on service and ambience. <br/>I had visited there with my friends, we ordered Biryani, Panner masala, Pulao, Naan, Butter chicken and some coke. All the dishes were Mouthwatering. <br/><br/>Taste : 5/5<br/>Service : 4/5<br/>Ambience : 4/5

Located in Indiranagar, right above Maravanthe restaurant and very close to the metro station. This is a bar & restaurant. Quite a shady place with dim and low lighting, how a bar should be. Zomato gold is accepted, so we got 2+2 on drinks. Food was okay though. I would suggest to drink here and eat at Maravanthe (in the same complex).

I felt food and particularly drinks are overpriced!!<br/><br/>It's a evening we jus had one mug of beer and Chicken ghee roast and one more chicken starter😋<br/><br/>Food was okay!! Drink was not that good!! Better to skip this restaurant for drinks!😊<br/><br/>Overall 3/5🤗

A quiet place for a drink & some south Indian(Mangalore)style food, it helps now that gold is available on drinks, chicken ghee roast with neer dosa is a must try, Kori roti is good too

Great place good ambience and a good fit for family as well as friends and colleagues. The staff here are friendly and the food here is next level

Well Dingy place with limited option. Slow in delivery overall however food was decent . Not a lively place you expecting however can help you save some extra money if you want<br/>

Shalimar Located at Indiranagar .Its good. You can go and enjoy the food with your friend. The food the served are tasty. All the things ar perfect. And not very costly.

A little hard to find the location. It is on the top floor of a building. The masala peanuts are very good and cheap. Staff not so professional. Overall decent but can be improved.

Non fussy, typical Bangalore Bar.. though the place is right above marvanthe restaurant, I was told that kitchens are different.. the Kane fish fry ordered was tasteless and over priced for the ambience.. prime location and conveniently accessible..<br/>

Afternoons are quite less crowded. Family restaurant. Kababs were good. Service and ambiance was good as well.<br/><br/>P.S: They have a separate smoking room.

I have never eaten such a bad quality of food. Ordered Chicken Mughlai gravy. Who prepares Mughlai Chicken with coconut? Mughlai Chicken should be the red color with so many masalas into it. The gravy that I have received was completely white in color with full of coconuts. And it was sweet gravy. I was feeling like having some sugar gravy.   <br/>Never gonna order again from this restaurant, not even by mistake. So, pathetic food. Can't even give 1 rating for the food. Yuuuk food :-(

Visit this place if you want to try some delicious Mangalorean cuisine and wash it down with a chill beer. <br/><br/>Must try dishes : Chicken gheee roast, Mutton Sukkah, Neer Dosa, Kori Roti, Fish Curry and Masala Papad.

No zomato gold on Beer.. why ??? As per the restaurant the availability of beer is less, hence they are not serving through Zomato Gold.. highly disappointed.

The best place to get amazing fish in Bangalore. The food was damn tasty, not the fanciest the place but its decent enough if you wanna eat great food.

We went on a Sunday evening for dinner with friends. It was highly recommended by a friend so we decided to try the place with our families. <br/>When u enter the place there is nothing fancy about it. They have a seperate family room with AC. <br/>Service was good. Food was great. Their chicken fried rice, chicken ghee roast and fish if the day with masala was to die for. A total fan of their chicken ghee roast. <br/><br/>Cons- they can improve on the lighting.

I had been wanting to try out Shalimar for a while now, so ordered some lunch through Swiggy. I ordered 1x Dal Khichdi and 1x Boneless Garlic Chicken.<br/><br/>The food was AMAZING. The best dal khichdi and garlic chicken I've had in a while. The dal khichdi was nice and spicy, the tadka or the temper was so flavourful. And the garlic chicken was irresistible.. Will place regular orders with them now..<br/><br/>I hope they maintain the same quality and consistency!

Tried this joint for the first time yesterday and ordered chicken biryani. The serve one of the lightest preparations when it comes to biryani and that's by my experience. It was good and wasn't like the usual spicy stuff that one gets at most of the places around here. The quantity too was appropriate for a single person and isn't too much or less.<br/><br/>In the coming time, will try more from this restaurant.<br/><br/>All in all, it was a good experience.

Great place for affordable drinks and some fresh seafood. Service was prompt. Fish fry, Kundapuri chicken n neer dosa satisfied us. Should be fun on a Friday night or Sunday noon.

A quick hunger escape<br/><br/>Visited this place based on suggestion.<br/><br/>Prawn ghee roast was supposed to be their must-have dish... If would have been hot. Goes well with Neer Dosa, spicy but average by taste.<br/>It seemed as if there was rationing on meat, Chicken lollipop was miserable with crazy less meat!! PS: Stangen beer served here was a delight. Bit harsh while sipping but gets better and sweeter as goes down the throat.<br/>

good quality and quantity

One of the best places for screening of big matches with great food and drinks. Chicken Ghee roast is a must try.. And the rates are pocket friendly..

I ordered rotis and naan. All were so hard and unable to eat. very bad experience.

good

Food was hot and tasty. Gobi manchurian was delicious. Wish they had lesser delivery charges for a single item. But overall packaging and food quality was good.

should had been less spicy

the quantity has reduced plus the treats was not included

A place for budget sensitive people who also want to sit in a bar with fair choice of food instead of a premium lounge or a bar. Earlier this place used to be a typical bar with only male groups and once it's renovated it is attracting group of both genders gradually.

when I ordered two items they have delivered only one and when we contact the restaurant they easily say will give next time. But it was a paid order no one is bordered to answer me

Excellent butter chicken boneless totally lovedddd it...hey we’re kind enough to tone down the spice for me as well :)

Butter chicken was spicy #facepalm

awesome

I dropped by this place yesterday night after a few brews at a very famous pub nearby. After the American fare me and my friend had this craving for something different. We decided to go for Mangalorean cuisine and my friend recommended this place. The dishes we tried were the Squid Sukka and the Bangda Fish Curry rice. Now the hard part was the order taking an eternity to reach the table.Other than that everything worked to perfection for us to have a great dinner. I was trying the Squid Sukka was the first time. I thought that the squid was perfectly cooked. The recipe was so unique and authentic. The Mangalorean fish curry was also good and met the expectation as I had tried a few times. I left the place wanting to come back again and try more Mangalorean dishes.

Chilli chicken boneless is the best

Budget place in a rather expensive locality. Good food, usual drinks. Try their drums of heaven and tawa fish fry.<br/><br/>Food - 4/5<br/>Service - 5/5<br/>Ambience - 3/5<br/>Hygeine - 4/5

Go here for snacks and booze the place to be, plays light music, so you can chat around a lot. Food tastes is very good, have been here many times over last couple of years.  Have been to same places multiple times and observed degrade or change in food taste ( might be due to cook change ) however that's not the case with Shalimar.  Worthy the money spent, liquors pricing is very competitive perfectly priced for big tanks !! :)<br/>Food 4.5, Ambience :3.5, Service :4.0 Pricing : 4.0

Located opposite to indiranagar mcd this place has that old traditional bar vibe. Nothing fancy here, They make small things to perfection. Food is really good and prices are reasonable. I enjoyed their fish items and peanut masala.

Shalimar, located very ideally on the CMH road in indiranagar on a rooftop, is one of the few restaurants that still holds good with respect to authentic mangalorean cuisine and looked like a restaurant from what I would imagine it be be in old Bangalore. <br/><br/>They have maravanthe on the first floor that is more like a family dining place with authentic mangalore cuisine. <br/><br/>We ordered a few starters, prawns being my favourite. The flavours were amazing! The Chicken however was slightly dry and came cold. The biryani here is flavourful. <br/><br/>I look forward to going down another time and trying more from their menu! <br/><br/>

This place is one of the hot favourites . They serve the best ghee roast that you will ever have. It's spicy, it's succulent and it's delicious. Try them with Butter Naan / neer dosa and you would never forget the taste. <br/>don't forget to try Chicken Ghee Roast in<br/>Shalimar whenever you visit ...

Shalimar! As resounding the name sounds, this place comes with a history of over two decades of serving , has the good old look in its semi open terrace section, you see people of all age groups in this place. <br/><br/>Adequate seating and well maintained toilet and dining area! The food here tastes good and the menu is vast for nonvegetarians. <br/>Tried their crispy babycorn and found it to to be well cooked with adequate spice and a unique taste. <br/>The vegetable Briiyani here comes with a good portion and has some of the best flavours you could expect. The shorba here was really good! The panner tikka had good marination and everything here tasted fresh! <br/><br/>Kudos for maintaining the very few old restaurants bangalore is left with!

My all time favourite from this place is home delivered plates of hot drums of heaven with sauce. Anytime you crave for fried food just order that, goes well with your drinks too.

Quick service, yummy food, we ordered chicken biryani(yum), their chef special chicken curry (very rich), and khichdi(soul satisfying). What more does one want!

You know that cheap bars in Indiranagar are a rarity. And when you find one, you expect it to be dingy. You know how you enter a tubelit bar with confused waiters, who lock the washroom and forget to open it for customers. You see the usual cacophony of various light sources in an attempt at interior decoration. You see an aquarium with bored fishes, including that one fish that got away (a huge fish in the middle of all the babies). You settle in and order an old monk (or a brandy like I did, with my sore throat these days). You have the usual fare of peanuts and feel good that you're not drinking at home but somewhere out - 'a change of scene' - if you'll. That's Shalimar for you.

Really bad cheap low grade food.<br/>Non idea how this place is 3.7<br/>Roadside food is better quality. <br/>Just pure nasty, might be a good hole in the wall to drink but food especially the way it's reviewed here it's utterly misleading.

Wanna party or wanna discuss some business over some drinks!! This is a good place to be.<br/><br/>Have been here a number of times with friends and colleagues.<br/><br/>Personal recommendation is the garlic chicken and it's yum!!<br/><br/>This place is low lit!!!

Excellent service.. Do not go by the outer looks.. This is much better place than most pubs in Indiranagar.. Didn't like the roof top ambience but AC section was awesome.. Service is fast, polite n courteous.. Also menu has good options.. Sea food is good.. <br/>PS: good for couples or single ladies as well

Located near a busy metro station in Indiranagar, it is a must visit restaurant. Awesome food and ambience. Service quality is also good. One of my favorites is the ghee roast.

Excellent food, on time service and loved the Shalimar Special Chicken. <br/>You can have chicken sukkha and that's it. Been going there since it has been in existence and find that it provides an aura of comfort, quick service, good food. Particularly when you just want a quiet time to yourself.

Small joint that has been there for some time, and has not gone big but stayed small and serve good food and drinks at manageable prices to its patrons. The Mangalore influence is there, hence the food is prepared in all its yummy brilliance. Funnily, since seafood is more expensive than other meats, at Shalimar, your alcohol bill will mostly be lesser than your food bill, unlike any other seafood restaurant. The place has cheap booze, excellent starters, no matter what you order. And more than average main courses. Mostly open air smoking section, this place would be a big draw during the IPL or World Cup seasons, with live streaming and loud groups at the tables. Located on CMH road just off the Metro station, parking can be tough, but there are enough bylanes in Indiranagar. I must add, the security guard at the entrance is the friendliest chap I have ever met. Good place to go if you want to have the bar experience, and not a pub or a club.

Thanks for your concern about customers <br/>The reviews are very good about your restaurant <br/>Keep up the good work and continue to give good quality

The food which I ordered was I think not even tasted by the cook himself. The taste was below average without any salt or spices (when you order a punjabi dish, you expect it to have spices). The quantity was also below expectations for the amount charged.

An old place, which keeps trying something new on the 2nd floor, but the 3rd floor is consistently the same. It has an non AC and AC place - similar to the Bombay quarter joints. The serving staff has been there for a while, keeps an eagle eye and the liquor quite strong :) (no dilution).<br/><br/>No need to be very adventurous about anything here. Order the salad, peanut masala, wafers (yes one of those where it is still available and not uncle chipps type also) salted, masala cashew if you are feeling rich.<br/><br/>You can have chicken sukkha and that's it. Been going there since it has been in existence and find that it provides an aura of comfort, quick service, good food. Particularly when you just want a quiet time to yourself.

Perfect place for seafood lovers and when you want some drinks along. Specially Their coastal cuisines are must try. Not much heavy on pocket

Good place to hang out .. pocket friendly and lot of options.. The rooftop is nice & cozy .. With sports channels playing on the large TVs and projector, its a good place to go & watch a game

At first, I was a little sceptical about coming to this place given its name - "Shalimar Bar" ( I know I shouldn't judge a place by its name), but we finally did give this restaurant a try. It really surprised me. Yes, the ambience isn't too appealing but, the food and the service quality are! I am not going to get into the specifics of food we had ordered. All that I can say about this restaurant is, if you are hungry and are looking for some inexpensive but real good food in a place like Indiranagar, this IS the place for you.

In the beginning when you enter this pub you might feel that you have come to a cheap place. Trust me, you would never regret having visited this place. If you Value your hard earned money to spend it on drinks, man this is the place. Masala Peanuts, Pitcher after pitcher, prawns, etc... The list never ends. Very fast Service and courteous attenders. No loud music but you ll go nuts with the dark theme ambience and the company of people equally crazy just like you!!

We ordered for veg kolhapuri n butter dal fry by home delivery..the food was delivered before the estimated time <br/>The food tasted good it was spicy true to the kolhapuri style. Really enjoyed the spicy meal on a gloomy monsoon evening

I have heard some good reviews of this place hence went with a friend to grab a few drinks.<br/><br/>Ordered peanut masala, egg chilly and a bangda masala fry.<br/><br/>This restaurant ticked almost all boxes<br/>- comfortable seating, pleasant interiors<br/>- courteous staff<br/>- timely service<br/>And topping all that<br/>- good food<br/><br/>For now I am planning to go and eat some sea food meal very soon.<br/><br/>No over the top pricing, to me it was value for money<br/><br/>Cheers!!

The food quality is really good, the roti's and naan are a bit costly though. We have ordered Mushroom Kadhai and Punjabi Chicken Masala. Punjabi Chicken's gravy was really tasty, better than the Punjabi chicken dishes available in most of the restaurants in Bangalore.

Shalimar seems like the perfect watering hole for folks in and around indiranagar. It's good if you're on a budget and will provide you with the right experience you're looking for. You get into the AC section or sweat it out on top with the massive screen. IPL games can be thoroughly enjoyed here. The food is pretty decent as well. The starters really get to you and you can't stop munching. Masala peanuts, masala papads, etc are perfect to go along with the drinks. Alcohol is almost MRP rates so you can really have a good night. Definitely a place to check out.

Ambiance for a bar and restaurant is pretty good. We ordered kori rotti which tasted awesome and other dishes look reasonable too.<br/>Its easy to locate being on the CMH Road

Watching the match.. India vs pak.. Amazing atmosphere.. Just like in a stadium.. Awesome screening.. Amazing owner.. Takes personal interest in everything.. Good food.. Nice place to hang out with friends..

What should I say about this place. It is just next to motherhood hospital and they have one in the 3rd floor and one as a roof top in the 4th floor<br/><br/>Basically they serve drinks with also a choice of a decent multi cuisine<br/><br/>Do not order Chinese based dishes like chilly chicken chilly pander etc rather go for the manglorean style.<br/><br/>The tawa fry of bangda, beer dosa and prawns were amazing and should mention onion pakoda. They serve peanut masala too. We ordered 4 pitchers and all of these also a chilly chicken which wasent good and the bill summed to 5k for 7 of us.for veggies it was tomato curry

We ordered tandoori chicken, butter chicken with tandoori rotis. The chicken dishes tasted good but the butter chicken was quite less in quantity. The tandoori rotis were really hard. Not worthy of all the high ratings.

OK i am in love with the place for the alcohol rates. The food also adds to the reason why such high ratings for the place. <br/><br/>It's a perfect place to go with your guy friends. Not really a place to take a female companion. <br/><br/>Don't forget to try the kori roti. I saw 7 of them order it while I was eating it.

The lunch meals r excellent you have 3 options to select from <br/>Chicken<br/>Fish<br/>Veg <br/>A must try ......<br/>The quantity and quality is well maintaned

I saw the zomato rating and compelled my Freind to go for lunch here first thing first its a bar n restaurant they are more good with the Mangalore cusine but not that great I had better mangalorean cusine the ambiance is pretty average and the food too....

It's a Mangalorean food place actually, not just North Indian or Chinese as listed. I heard it's been around forever but it's been so obscure that I never noticed this place even though I stay in Indiranagar. My loss as I was seeking a good place for Mangalorean food in Indiranagar for a while. While I heard the decor has been upgraded, thought I would try takeaway on a rainy day and I over ordered.<br/><br/>Egg fried rice, chicken 65, chicken ghee roast and ginger chicken gravy. All came after 1.30 hours and not 45 mts as zomato promised. This was a delivery service called road runners. The delivery guy was from Frazer Town and he struggled in Indiranagar in the rain. He was so apologetic that I felt bad but I was a bit cranky. The food made up for it though.<br/><br/>The egg fried rice used a nice rice, it was light and you end up eating more than you plan to. The chicken 65 was not the fry type I expected but more wettish starter, but tasty. Ghee roast is not really the authentic ghee roast but it's a bright red chilly paste. If you like spicy, it's not bad at all, I liked it. The ginger chicken gravy is true to its name and was tasty.<br/> <br/><br/>I had a good visit to the restaurant as well. Old style bar food peanut masala with beer and a fish thali. Enjoyed it!

One of the few pocket friendly restaurant in Indiranagar. Tried a various chicken starters and they were all great. Cant forget the taste of Chicken Ghee Roast. Their mangalore cuisine is the best and being a manglorean, you can't ask for anything more. Neer dosa with chicken curry reminds me of grandmas cooking. Try out the place and I'm sure you won't be disappointed.

Drinks, food, friends. Ideal place for evening booz and food. Never been disappointed in past 10 years.<br/>Very good starters and neer dosa with chicken.

Yummy food. Slurp. I still have the essence of their special chicken fry dry on my taste buds. Man.! This place is a very old restaurant. It is basically a place where bachelors can have a nice time boozing and hogging. Would not recommend for a family dinner out. Of course, the food is great. They have lately opened an air-conditioned dining upstairs. Would recommend to try their special chicken dry fry from here. Yeah its spicy!

Decent place with a wide range of food. On the expensive side so we do not go here regularly - only as a stop gap to a party happening elsewhere. The food is pretty decent and the service is excellent. They have a quiet place on the 3rd floor, and a noisy place on the 4th.

This is indeed a under rated restaurant. The food is extremely good. We just went there without much expectations but it turned out to be a very nice place indeed. The service is bit slow. Would strongly recommend.

The most preferred place for us to binge those days was none other than Shalimar. And am talking about 12 years ago! I remember having my first drink with one of my earlier great boss! We used to gulp down pegs after pegs and then gobble down every morsel of food until the big plate was clean and the other small plate full of bones... !!! Burrrrrrp!<br/><br/>A newer ambience - renovated to suit today's crowd or whatever. But the food just remains the same delicious and yummy ones. Especially my favourite Mangalorean sea food dishes!<br/>It was over 4.30pm today and we realized it was quite late for lunch. When I called out for Shalimar, my companions were so reluctant as they had never tried this place. Then we happened to try out couple of other places which was either not interesting or the proper food was unavailable. Everyone then quietly settled for my recommendation....SHALIMAR!<br/>Though we all had a great time, I managed to have a better time with a couple of drinks for myself :)<br/>We all feasted well - Kane fry, Seer roast, Kori Roti, Neer dosa, Chicken & Mutton Biryani. <br/>I so much wanted to take pics of the food ordered. But, the moment food arrived, my hunger took over my brains and I ended up hogging. Yes we ALL were really hungry :)<br/>And now, We are hungry to go back to Shalimar once again...soon!

Good food & value for money. Ensure to have a reservation if you are planning to go as a group. More organised, post the renovation and the service levels are not bad at all.

Lower your expectations & this place can be your go to place... Love the typical bar like atmosphere. 4th floor, Rooftop is the place to be. It can compete with a good Mumbai bar on any given day. <br/>Good food, consistent & cheap booze! Garlic prawns is a must have.

I remember going here as a child several times and eating their delicious mangalorean fare. This place has been renovated recently. The Kori Rotti, Neer Dosa and Kundapur Chicken are my absolute favourites, the same good old taste and prices dont burn a hole in your pocket. The fish they serve here is fresh and their Fish fry n Prawn pepper dry is a must try for Fishetarians. Ambience might not be great but when the food's good and the place looks neat & clean nobody's complainin!

Located near the Indira Nagar metro station, this restaurant has been there for quite a long time and has managed to cull out its own brand of loyalists. This is not a high end lounge bar but a basic bar and restaurant and prefers to be so. We used to visit this when we were living in this area and also earlier as it was mid way to my home from work. Now they have renovated and looks much better. I got a chance to visit this place recently and was very much impressed by their food.<br/><br/>While most of the people come here to have a good affordable drink this place serves some good mangalorean dishes including fish, neer dosa and chicken roast. The food here is quite good though the presentation leaves a lot to be desired<br/><br/>During lunch time they serve the thalis with beer which used to be a big hit not sure whether they serve now. I have had the usual roti, neer dosa and some gravies along with the starters which were yumm. I love the Kundapur chicken masala . Service is excellent as they rarely goof up on the orders.<br/><br/>Recommended<br/><br/>Ambience: 3/5<br/><br/>Food: 4/5<br/><br/>Service: 3/5<br/><br/>Cost: 4/5

I am Mangalorean. Fish is something I cannot live without. Fish is that which drives my soul forward. Fish, however , can be made good and bad. Look at the rating I gave. Use your common sense here. The Bangude Masala . And the kingfish fry. Holy holla hoppa loo. It is amazing. The fish is covered in this red spicy masala and does not give that stale fish taste nor smell, surprising because usually in Bangalore the fish isnt 'fresh' anywhere. The chicken ghee roast is also good. But your attention to the biryani- the rice is not dry. Its the kind of biryani you will not force yourself to eat- you will WANT to eat it. Delicious and filling as well. Economical level- end of the month. Shalimar- live long and prosper.

I had ordered a home delivery from Shalimar. Their customer service is excellent. The guy who answered the call and the person who came for delivery were both very polite and courteous.<br/><br/>The food is amazing value for money. Their servings come in large portions and are well-packed. It was good see the neer dosas nicely wrapped around a banana leaf. The egg fried rice we ordered was more than enough for 2 hungry people. The rice lacked a little salt though. <br/><br/>Overall the food was good and the service was excellent. Would definitely convert to a regular!

I love this place just because it has one of the best locations in the heart of cmh road. Serves good beer and amazing egg fried rice. This has very prompt service as well.

Shalimar is located on 3rd floor , next to Motherhood Hospital near Indira Nagar metro station. Restaurant is very much underrated or unnoticed I feel.  May be because of the ambience , it is a typical bar restaurant.  The place was smudged and messy when they were at 1st floor before the recent renovation.  Now they have a pretty decent decor with a good non-smoking area too.<br/><br/>We have been here many times for lunch as this is very near to my office. My colleague always says yes for this place for their Beer-Fish Meals combo, sad that they have stopped recently. It’s the sea food that attracts me to this place. I always liked the taste here, more of a Mangalore style of sea food preparation. But they also do have some good North Indian and Chinese cuisines too. Even there fish curry meals combo for lunch (100rs incl. tax) is a value for money. <br/><br/>So the Taste is good, Price is good, Portions are generous and the service is also not bad. Then what is it not syncing there?<br/><br/>May be I have never seen a family crowd there especially no kids. A few young couples though , that’s not good for a crowd  If they do something to get some family friendly atmosphere and 'service' , they will be one of the best places in Indiranagar..  I would suggest this place if you are in IndiraNagar and looking for some good Sea food or Mangalorian cuisine restaurant.<br/><br/>Tip: The place is closed between 3pm and 7pm, Check in at least at 2:55pm they will entertain you till 4pm. <br/><br/>Must try : <br/>Tawa fried Fish masala (less oily , perfectly spicy) ,<br/>Prawns pepper Dry (juicy saluted prawns with onion and pepper , perfect blend) ,  <br/>Neer Dosa , <br/>fried rice (you get it in half portion , its good and filling) and <br/>of course some mocktails.  <br/><br/>Ambience: 3.5/5<br/>Food: 4/5<br/>Service: 3/5<br/>Cost: 3.5/5

We usually visit this on Friday night with colleagues.it has a bar and music is not noisy.reasonable price for drinks and food.seafood is awesome in this place

My first review!<br/>A Perfect balance of good ambience ( recently renovated) and great service at an affordable price.. The starters here are a treat and make a lovely combination with the drinks. A great place to enjoy a drink with your mates or a fine dinner with your family.. Don't miss the chicken ghee roast! <br/>I totally recommend the place :) :)

This restaurant is located very close to matteo in indiranagar. Located on the 3rd floor this restaurant was under renovation for quite some time. In fact here only I had my first dating dinner. First of all after renovation the ambience s awesome n d service very prompt as always. Tried their mocktails n its upto d mark. Food here s delicious esp egg fried rice,chicken kabab,neer dosa,chicken ghee roast,lemon chicken n even mushroom manchurian. I don mind paying as long as they keep up their service,quality n quantity. One can even go with family here. Decent.

I have been visiting this place for over 5 years. has limited variety of food, but is awesome in all ways. don't forget to try Tandoori Gobhi, Masala Peanuts and stuffed Tomato. Not heavily price and service is awesome.

Excellent ambience and awesome dishes. Chicken 65 is a must try. We took 3 plates of 65 because of its amazing taste. We tried garlic chicken and Shalimar special dry which wasn't that good as they were extremely spicy. <br/>I would suggest to try the roof top. It's much better and service is excellent.<br/>However overall a very good experience.

Perfect ambience and price!<br/>A must for non-veg lovers!<br/>Don't miss kori roti and chicken curry!

Egg Chilly... Best in town!!! Try it with the beer! The open air area has some Hindi numbers being played and the prices are just right for the ambience!

Had korry rotti and Neer Dose last night, no words it was awsome :)

We have been to Shalimar bar restaurant several times (at least twice an year) in the past 10 years as part of 'men only gang'. This is a typical bar restaurant for bachelors and to unwind over some serious drinking. It's cheap and the food (especially starters) that accompany spirits are awesome. Earlier they used to serve steamed peanuts with every beer/drink order but that practice seems to have stopped now.<br/><br/>It used to be a very old style and a bit dirty place till the recent renovation. It continues to be a men-only-place, in my opinion, and really good at that.<br/><br/>In fact, the men gang in our apartment has this custom of having 'Shalimar event' once in every few months :-)<br/><br/>(PS: The review is only about their bar restaurant - Not sure if they have other portions as I never ventured beyond the bar)

Shalimar a very nice place. Butter chicken is a must. Quick service. Good ambience. Decent price.

Had been here with my friends and we had an enjoyable experience I must say. The food is really great... Very good place to hang out with friends.. And have to try this new buffet which I think is really inexpensive for the kind of food being served.

really awesome food. roof top with the metro passing by is what one need wen he is haveing a peaceful dinner/lunch. <br/>go there to have fun and chill

A place that gives you the best food with with the best service. It is a treat to watch cricket matches while enjoying a good spread of food. The addition of the buffet just makes it even better !!!!

Amazing Ambience... Great Manglorean food... and I have a lot more to try from the amazing menu... <br/>Surely a place to visit again and again... <br/>Great hangout for friends as well as family.. <br/>With an amazing roof top and TV Screen, makes the experience of a Live match BETTER!!!!!

great place..good food..awesome ambience..they have a variety of stuff at reasonable rates...I love going there to watch cricket matches on the big screen!!

well After having food for like 5 times, i would say shalimar is one of the best restaurants in the city..try french chicken,drums of heaven,jeera rice..it's simply amazing..
