Shalimar Grill and Banquet in Scarborough

Great fresh food served daily !

Drove by the place on Wed night, seems it was closed. Go to other places nearby, this one doesnt seem like it can function at all. Avoid this one. Years ago when this place was Tabaq Restaurant it was really nice but now it has gone downhill after being sold several times.

Worst ever Tandoori Chicken Leg !! Seems he has given me fried one. Chicken was not even fresh. Absolutely not recommended at all.

Food was exactly the way I asked for and fast without compromising quality . Excellent job .Thank you staff I will be back

Every single time I try to order, they say its catering only today, call back tomorrow. They tell me the same the next day. When I ask why they keep doing this, they laugh and hang up. Dishonest liars!

Sekh kabab is not fresh and jucy at all. Price are expensive, food is spicy, biryani is not fresh stale. Very less customer hardly 1 or 2, that is why atomsphere is good.

This place is close on weekends

Today I went to have breakfast with my friends I had an awsome experience very delicious food and best service I would recommend anybody specially to those who wants good food in a friendly environment with great service. The owner him self was looking after customers and was greeting warmly.

Came here to attend a banquet party. Right when I walked in there was a really odd smell in the room!!! The food is also not up to par and the washrooms are horrible!!! Not a place to hold a banquet party! A would not recommend at all!!

Butter chicken is actually ketchup sauce in chicken. Biryani has zero taste like absolutely no taste.. you cannot taste a single ingredient not even salt. Naan is a store bought naan! Highly disappointed.

Delicious food and attentive staff, plus the hygiene was taken care of. Keep it up!

Customer service was very good, food was delivered quick and tasted delicious. Clean restaurant, would recommend.

Do not order boneless chicken. It s as good as chicken with bones. You ll find visible fragments of bones. The quality of the food is decent. 3/10 would recommend it.

They have bad customer service and there food doesnt taste good. I ordered some Naans over the phone the other day and went to get it. But they said they did not get the order even though I called them. They made me wait there for a long time. I would never go there again. I also would suggest you to not go as well.

The biryani was excellent. Its a good place. The person was really polite. Thank you!

Ok

The food is not upto standard. Kabab meat was rubbery and old. Customer service was bad also.

Good Pakistani food!

Please update the hours or if you are open or closed on Google. We came here to find the restaurant was closed...please update! Thank you!

Very expensive.

Hygiene was taken care of very well and food was delicious, as well as good customer service. Definitely would recommend.

This place is great. The food looks and tastes delicious

Simply the best

Rice of this restaurant is nice, but why I should buy only for rice while I pay for Biryani? On September 2, 2021 around 1 pm, I buy one chicken and one veal biryani for $19.04. While I open at home, I just get very very small 2 pieces of chicken equivalent to quarter of a chicken thigh. In case of veal, a small piece of meat and a small bone. Is it worthy for $19.04? While I ask them that I found you provide pop with chicken biryani, then the provide me one. But 2 days ago while I bought chicken biryani while I dont know about pop, they never give me that one. Another annoying thing to me the wait period for around 20 minutes. Should customer wait for 20 minutes for a simple rice? I tell them that I called four times to do order by phone to save time. They check their phone and find my call. Their excuse is people ask them too much question over phone so they dont like to receive call. NEVER WOULD GO THEIR AGAIN.

The biryani is lip smacking it reminds you of traditional flavours from back home. Also the palak chicken and karahi has to be tried

Even if I get zero I wish I could put that for this silly restaurant taste is so bitter then any restaurant in the whole gta I ordered Brian masala which tasted like bitter gourd n spent 14 $ price is never issue for me if the food is worth paying trust me please guys dont visit this restaurant dont waste ur time n money also ur weekend will be wasted

Not the best quality but tastes good and prices are low as well.

I know the food is good but it s annoying when the hours don t match. It says they open at 12 but they clearly aren t

Always delicious.

A wonderful and spiritually uplifting place to visit

Average breakfast, service is really slow,usually empty

I have eaten at a number of Indian restaurants and the food here was excellent. My wife lived in Pakistan for a number of years. The best we have ever eaten.

Excellent taste of food. They have the best chicken biryani. Customer service is amazing and owner is very friendly. 5/5.

New employees are highly unprofessional, some one put me on hold for 10 minutes over a phone call and didnt respond. Way to go.

Its nice food . I ordering chicken tikka and naan. its very good taste .especially naan I love it.

The best chicken tandoori and seekh kebabs in the town. Very reasonable price and amazing service by Salman. Will visit this restaurent again. Highly recommended.

Food was tasty and I would love to go there again as well

Today I visit my friend I eat food.its amazing day by day taste change and good service.....thanks all staff for good service

one of the best places ive ever went to. the food was great and spicy .didnt have to wait that long and room was very well decorated.would take someone with me next time.

Try magaz masala, it s great

It was an amazing place full of great food and spicy food I would definitely come here lots of more times 10 out of 10

Today we went for lunch, food was tasty specialy spicy chicken karhai . Good costumer service, owner was nice,welcoming costumers .

The sunday brunch was excellent with choices of nehari, paya, channe, aloo, and halwa. They also served puri, but their naans were very tasty. They also had sweet lassi, and it was delicious.

best breakfast buffet

Weekend breakfast buffet deal is awesome

Amazing Halwa Puri Breakfast Good Service Friendly environment BBQ Dark Chicken Is amazing Crispy Fresh Nana with BBQ is Yummy !!! Had great experience hosting my Daughters Birthday party Feb 15 All our guest Loved the food & Sweet Lassi

Smell in biryani

Food is excellent but place to sit is very congested

Great diverse range of South Asian food to share with friends for lunch.

Today I went shalimar along with friends for breakfast buffet. Environment is okay for Indian/South Asian peoples. In there buffet there is no chicken items which was pretty surprising because many people don t eat beef. Lassi was sweet and tasty. Had to call waiters couple of times to place an order of poori/ naan which was annoying. Apart from this others were good. Foods were tasty.

Very poor quality. Breakfast buffet has only few item, no refills, asked 2-3 times for nun/luchi. The server completely ignored it & kept us waiting. Definitely a horrible experience for a foodie. Not recommended.

Average weekend breakfast buffet. Best was Paaya and Lassi.

Great desi breakfast buffet. Service was great.

A typical desi food restaurant.

Chichk Kabab is tasty! Veal Birani tastes average...

Amazing food and price is reasonable, Nice place

They sell Bone Biryani not Veal Biryani. Three visits and bad experiences in a row. GOODBYE!

Not that good

Never trust this restaurant with party orders. Big time cheats. Overpriced, no customer generosity and most importantly give you stale food in party order. Have experienced this with mutton biryani order. I was ashamed in front of my guests. Next day when we called the incharge to inquire about same, he merely said he will ask his cook and update us. But the incharge if this restaurant never called or apologized. We also kept the biryani food as it is for them to check. I was disgusted that how inconsiderate these people are. They have no customer values and most importantly number 1 cheaters because they charge high price for not so quality food. Please google other options for asian cuisine nearby same area which are reasonably priced for good food( atleast not STALE)

They used to have really good chicken wings here. But recently they have been giving us stale tasteless wings that feel weeks old. Maybe its due to staff reductions or whatever but we ordered it again on different days and gave it some more chances but it remains very very stale. Will not be going back

Just tried the chicken biryani - not a pleasant experience at all. Old rice used... microwaved ...stale taste. Will not recommend anyone.

Never had such bad food. The kebab was raw and the biriyani had no taste. Really really bad!

For saltless & zero taste biriyani.

Best murgh chanay n naan ever ate.. just reduce the rate of extra naans plz

I would give it -1 star if possible. Terrible service! The server was very rude. Never brought up the menu and assumed that we were there for their breakfast platter. Brought 2 of them but we only wanted 1. We accepted 1 but when we were paying the bill, he was extremely rude saying that we returned one of his breakfast platter (which we never even ordered in the first place!!!) We further had to wait for 30 mins to get cutlery. Highly disappointed

Today I went there They give us microwave food and i recomend my friends to go there with me. but today I went with my friends and I am very disappointed with the food they give and I am really disappointed today

Food was average but not fhF

Garbage stay home!

This place is a biggest repoff and con artist I ordered one paya plate and 2 nan First he charged me $19.47 And when I yelled at him about the price he dropped to dollars and still charge me $17.13 . This was not dead but it is a horrible way of dealing with the customer

I urge anyone planning to hold a banquet event here to take their business elsewhere. Management is full of completely unprofessional, dishonest, and immoral people. The front desk representative (Raheem T. according to the name on the receipt) has no customer service skills. You will not get any fair treatment here. In January 2020, I had booked a wedding-related party for early July 2020. I put down the requested down payment of $500 plus tax. There was no contract provided but simply a receipt (considering they are a small business, I assumed they probably just worked on an honour system). In July, as other venues held events with a limit of up to 30% of the venue s capacity, Shalimar advised me that they will not honour the agreed upon date for my event nor would they allow the event to take place at an alternate date in July with a reduced number of guests. I accepted their rationale for not wanting to risk getting fined. I asked Raheem, who originally accepted my down payment, to at least reimburse half of it as neither of us anticipated the pandemic. There was no logical reason to keep my down payment in its entirety if no service was actually provided. Raheem says that though there is no written contract, it is standard practice that down payments are non-refundable. I held no event, and they refused to work with us to hold a smaller event (which at the time was permitted under provincial guidelines) and so keeping my down payment with no service provided in exchange is outright theft. I asked him to speak to management as I was willing to even accept a 30% refund simply on principal. I have since called Shalimar multiple times and each time the response is simply that they will review the matter with management and get back to me. Please do not consider Shalimar if you are planning to do a banquet event as these shady, disgusting human beings should not be doing business if they cannot even practice some basic business ethics and civility.

The best paya in town.

Naans are amazing here. Good food good service.

very good food

Good foods compare to low price.

Neat and clean space, spicy food though.

Amaaaazing taste and surprisingly well customer service . Their Haleem is the best .

In Pak cousin

Delicious spicy food. If you like spicy food this is a great place to try.

Amazing food and great service!

Good place for having traditional breakfast. It is worth the money to pay for because the taste is really good.

Good food, my kids love their Haleem and Kabab. Though their Haleem was much delicious in the past now it is little ok.

The quantity of food was really good for a family of 4. Ambience is also nice

Little bit spicy but still delicious

Went there and i ordered chicken Bryani it s really Delicious! Hard to find good indian food in Toronto thats reasonably priced but this place hit the spot. Very friendly and attentive service. Outstanding flavour.

Excellent food and superb staff,would recommended

This resturant is a must try! The food was fresh and so delicious! Service was very friendly and welcoming. Almost everything was tasty. My favs are behari boti, chany, Bar-B-Q, til naan and nashta. Kheer was good too. And clean washroom

Excellent food and good prices. I loved their food.

The food is flavourful, tasty, and delicious. I love their food. The price is also good. I ve ordered naan, chana, and bihari boti and it was amazing. I recommend everyone to go there and try the delicious food.

My family and I went for this breakfast buffet for the first time to entertain my dad with some good Pakistani style breakfast. We were all blown away with the authentic taste of nihari and paya, and the Chana was out of this world. The service was quick, environment was clean, and price is very reasonable. We will surely be visiting them again soon.

Best chicken kabobs I have ever tasted...thank you so much

This place has an authentic taste of Pakistani cuisine. Prices are fair. A must visit place for Indian/Pakistani cuisine craving. Also their all you can eat breakfast buffet on weekends is a delight.

Formerly Tabaq; this place is clean but pls offer half platter of bbq, the large is too big to share when 2 people are dining.

-Meat platter was not bad. -Biryani was good, authentic flavours. -Server was friendly and attentive. -Menus are way too big in physical size. -Nothing really stood out. Basic food. -I would visit again, but not as a first choice.

I just tried biriyani its good

Prices are affordable and very good.Thank you so much Khurram and M khalid bhattl. You guys are very friendly, very professional of cooking, places is very clean, delicious food. Pilavl tavugu Türklerin ho una gidece ini dü ünüyorum.

Great food

Amazing place..tasty food !

Good food and reasonable prices.

The food was okay but the service was a bit off.

Arrange and food booth were fabolous

The restaurant all food is delicious and the chef is excellent work . We are the regular customer and the owner well know to us as we have visited several times but now days the new girl in front the reception she doesn t know customer service and how to understand the customer needs because their business depends on the customer satisfaction and good service. When we order food we asked some items that girl instantly reply no no she should refer in the kitchen or the chef then reply to the customer. I hardly say the restaurant is amazing other than any restaurant in that area.but they should avoid to hire like that person to job. POOR CUSTOMER SERVICE RESTAURANT

The food is full of spices, the rest of the things are good, may be a best place for spicy food lovers.

Very nice restaurant and good food with excellent service.

Tried several items there its amazing. Resturant is very clean, good service.

Food is very delicious... tried almost all dishes. Good service, staff is friendly. Restaurant is neat and clean.

good place for family party

Good place to go food is fairly delicious

Delicious food, reasonably priced, good service. We would visit again!

Service is not that great. Small size of party hall. Food is ok.

We enjoyed your food and hospitality. Wishing you all the best.

Awesome food. , neat ambience, Sheekh kebabs are a must try. I used to have similar kebabs in Dubai at Ravi restaurant and Lal Qila restaurant before I moved to Toronto, I found similar taste at this place. Great taste, ambience and good on price.

Go try it.. you wont regret..
