On a cold Thursday evening in Nashville, my husband wanted Indian vegetarian food. I was in the mood for Chinese food so I got takeout from Chinatown, a few doors down, while my husband got take out from Shalimar. He said they didn’t even bother giving him an itemized receipt, just a credit card receipt for $19.99. When he got to the hotel and we opened the bag from Shalimar, we were in for a shock!
First the vegetable pakora was unlike any vegetable pakora we have seen. It was made the laziest way, absolutely no effort was put in it, as you can see from my pics.
Next the Saag Paneer, which happen to be my husband’s favorite, came in the tiniest takeout container. We paid full price for it, why were we served half the portion! I have posted a side by side pic of the Eggplant in Garlic Sauce that I got from Chinatown a few doors down comparing it to the Saag Paneer we received. Look at the portion difference basically for the same price. My husband said there was zero taste to the Saag Paneer, again cooked with no love or effort.
Finally the Paratha, my husband had called them to ask about their Naan and they had said they do not own a Tandoor and their Naan comes from a facility outside (I.e. frozen Naan) so he wanted to be safe and ordered the paratha. When we touched the foil it came in, it felt hard as a rock. On opening the foil, there was a joke of a portion of paratha that too it was hard as a rock and can you believe they have the audacity to charge $3.99 for this!
Shalimar has to be one of the worst food experiences we have ever experienced! The food is prepared with no effort and no love. They do business here with the tiniest heart! Never again are we ever dining here or getting takeout from here.
