I LOVE this place. Half the restaurant is a bar, where people often stand, socialize, and drink. The other half are the dining tables. My friends and I enjoy the food so much we often scrap our dishes. The only thing is it's pretty pricey so I only come here on certain occasions. The service could be better, and it's kind of loud, but overall I still love it.

I am a regular to this restaurant and have yet to find another Indian restaurant with similar quality/price ratio. Very peaceful and friendly atmosphere, food is served quickly, and not too hot(spicy) for kids.
Great place for your quick Indian fix.

It's a small and quiet place; not much to look at. (There was a plastic flower in a vase at our table...) I received excellent and friendly service. The food was great, but next time, I'm making sure to order it "Indian Hot" or whatever the equivalent is of "Thai Hot" which has worked so well for me in the past. I will definitely be returning and introducing friends to it.
Pros: food, service, location
Cons: ambience

I recently moved from So.San Jose and have been scouring the area for local good eats. One afternoon a few weeks ago, I wandered into the Bay Leaf to grab a menu for my collection. The aroma was so enticing, the servers so polite that I sat down by myself (I have never done this before) to indulge in their lunch buffet. I was in heaven! I have been back with friends twice since then and was not disappointed. Each time the menu was slightly different with enough selection to satisfy and the "heat" just right for my western palate. I have not had dinner here yet, but I highly reccomend the lunch buffet. If you have extra time for lunch it is close enough but far enough away from the insane, manic frenzy of the McArthur Ranch area to relax and enjoy!
Pros: Ample parking, good value for price

My friend took me for dinner to Shalimar a few months back. The food was delectable. I had the buffet, a wonderful treat. Unfortunately the buffet is not offered in the evenings, except for Sundays and Tuesdays. The Manager gave us personal attention and charmed his way, recommending dishes. Chicken Vindaloo and Kadai Chicken have become my favorite. Seek Kabab is the best I have ever eaten. I have been eating Indian cuisine for now 20 years. I threw a party last week at Shalimar. They have a huge parking lot behind the restaurant, with a capacity for 100 cars. The fact that the parking was free and the location was right in downtown SJ was what made up our minds. Now I regularly have dinner at Shalimar, leave my car parked there and then go to the CPA or Camera 12 for some entertainment!! You cannot beat the convenience.
Pros: Great food, Ambience , Value
Cons: Buffets too popular

Wonderful food, and great atmosphere. Great portions for dinner and also very affordable. I recommend the Tikka Massala and the wraps.
This is fresh Indian unlike the old Buffet food available in the Valley.

As an Indian food lover from out of town (east coast), my expectations were high for the Bay area and I was "not" dissappointed. First of all, a great buffet (I typically order off the menue) -- great variety and fresh. I went for my conventional favorites -- chicken korma and tandoori chicken. Very good. I also sampled some of the southern Indian cuisine they had available -- excellent! From reading that first review, I was a bit concerned with how the service might be -- but I found them gracious and attentive. I asked to see the manager to tell him how wonderful everything was and he was at my table in less than 5 minutes. I also found the decor interesting -- I'd recommend this place, I'm sure you won't be dissappointed.
Pros: Great value, variety (southern/northern Indian food), private meeting/function room
Cons: hidden
