Fabulous eatery in downtown San Jose
Thursday, January 19, 2006
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
