I am really sad that former Indian restaurant "Jewel of India" are no longer in business at this location. The family was very nice that owned the place and everything I ever ate there was fantastic. I have only eaten here at "Shalimar" twice (once with friends during the Sunday afternoon buffet and this evening, when I ordered off the... More

Shalimar is in a fairly basic building, but the food and service were quite good. They did a good job in fitting our tastes on spicyness, and we enjoyed all the dishes that we had ordered.

We have two daughters attending Cal Poly, one is a vegan and the other a vegetarian, and whenever we visit them in SLO, going out for a family dinner at Shalimar is a must.

Love their Nam and Spinach Paneer! We also had a shrimp with Potato curry but it is just fine (the shrimp is quite small and the sauce is kind of un-authentic). Their Basmati rice is great with a lot of flavor!

I think it's fair to say that the Brits LOVE Indian food, and so my husband and I made a bee line for the Shalimar when we stayed in St Luis Obispo, recently. We can't praise this restaurant enough.

Everyone is always super nice here and I love the Indian music videos they are always playing! Food is sooooo delicious I LOVE the naan & chicken tikka masala and their all you can eat buffet nights ($7.95-10.95 Sun & Mon?) are the way to go!
