Shalimar - Indianapolis

I recently visited Shalimar to try out their menu and was pleasantly surprised to find a smaller selection than their sister restaurant, India Palace. However, the flavors were equally delicious and of the highest quality compared to other Indian buffets I've tried. Though it's a bit of a drive, the change of scenery and variety of options in the area make it worth a visit. I will definitely be returning soon.

Great lunch buffet with a frequent diner card! Love their food and service. More buffet offerings than some of Indy's other Indian lunch buffets.

LOVED IT!. My husband and I took our three-year-old with us to Shalimar for dinner. (It was quite a while ago so I don 't remember the names of the dishes. I am pretty sure it was the non-vegetarian Thali... My daughter and I just love the Mango Lassies (and they are good for us too! My family ordered a platter that was a special and it was SOOOOO GOOD! I cannot express how much my family enjoyed it. <br/ <br/ We went back on another occasion for the brunch. My meal was pretty good (because I constantly choose the 'wrong thing ' but my husband 's was excellent (he is a chef with a great palette who seems to always choose the 'right thing ' by eating only traditional foods and ingredients... <br/ <br/ The server was hilarious (in a very serious way . We wanted spicy food and he asked my husband three times just to make sure we REALLY meant spicy. (I still laugh about it! <br/ <br/ I cannot wait to go back!

Hmmm lunch buffet. My wife and I were always searching for the indian gem closer to Geist.... but could nevr really find it. We love the extra 15-20 min drive down to Broad ripple to sample some excellent service... even if it is only one server!!! while also having the best indian in town!!!

I've always had good service here, and they have a frequent diners card to earn free lunches, which is nice. I prefer nearby India Garden because my favorite dish, saag or palak (spinach), is better prepared. Shalimar puts green peppers in it. Shalimar has a better selection of desserts on the buffet usually, and there's a parking lot. You may need to walk 2+ blocks to get from your car to India Garden. Also, IG has a step, so I don't think it's wheelchair accessible...Shalimar definitely is wheelchair accessible.
