My favourite Indian restaurant in Derby. Although there have been more modern looking reataurants opened nearby recently, Shalimar still delivers better tasting food for a good price... Anoki is far more expensive and the food is average. There you just pay for the men in hats! Back to Shalimar... The food has real depth of flavour and offers a lot... More

Food was great, was with a person with Celiac disease and they catered for them with style. I would suggest the Shalimar restaurant to anyone who wants top quality food with superb service and the variety to cater for all. 5 star in my rating! More

We went here on a Saturday night as a recommendation from the hotel we were staying at. We were seated right away and given menus. Then it took a awhile to order our drinks even though the restaurant wasn't full. We received our main dishes first and it took over 5 minutes to get our rice and bread and the... More

Came to Shalimar a couple of weeks ago and were greeted at the door, and were seated straight away. The food was delicous and the proportions were very generous! Have eaten here a few times and never failed to please. This isn't the place to come for good service as sometimes the waiters are too 'serious' but overall, very good!... More

Went with my partner this weekend to enjoy our early valentines night out. A very polite waiter had come to take our order and offered us the lovers banquet meal for £22 pp. Food came out on time as we requested to the manager earlier on that our train leaves at 8.45 and that if we could make it. Therefore... More

12 of us went in on a Saturday night without booking and the place was absolutely packed!! Car park was full at the rear of the restaurant and had nowhere to park so decided to park on the main road. Got seated 20 minutes after and had told the manager to make it a special one for the Birthday Boy.... More

The Shalimar was recommended to my partner by a friend from Derby as coming from the East Anglia we was not familiar with Indian Restaurants in Derby. A very classy restaurant, we was overwhelmed with the friendly service, and the food was absolutely spot on, fresh and full of flavour! This restaurant just exceeded our expectations, by far the best... More

Visited late January on a Saturday night. Not a good idea as the restaurant was very busy. So busy that the food took an age to arrive. To start, we were asked to wait a separate area near to the bar as our table was not quite ready, our fault as we were about 15 minutes too early for our... More
