The Shalimar Restaurant in Matlock

Reviews

1. Leela Jandu ★★★★★

   We had an amazing experience at this Indian restaurant, thanks in large part to our waiter, Shaq. From the moment we were seated, he made us feel genuinely welcome and taken care of. He was attentive without being intrusive, offered great menu suggestions, and made sure our drinks and dishes arrived promptly. Shaq’s friendly personality and professionalism really stood out — he checked in at just the right times and remembered all the little details that made our meal special. The food was delicious, but his service made the whole evening exceptional. If you visit, definitely ask for Shaq — he’ll make sure you have a wonderful dining experience!

   Delicious, high quality food, with attentive staff and pleasant atmosphere in a well decorated venue. Price was at the higher end for meals we've had around the area but justified for the quality. Food well cooked, with great flavour. Staff polite, attentive, and well dressed.

   Popped in here trying to find someone to eat quickly, didn’t disappoint / amazing service from start to finish and amazing friendly staff. Having a Laugh and a joke which made the atmosphere very nice and welcoming. Food was well worth the money and we will be back again.

   Lovely place. The food is absolutely amazing. The best myself and partner have had. When the staff found out it was my birthday they made the evening. Dressed the table. Banner, cake and candle. Birthday card. Brilliant. Would strongly recommend. We will be back.

   Such a welcoming and homely restaurant. From the moment we entered the restaurant our host took great care of us. Without batting an eyelid, he even helped create a bespoke dish for my wife, who had a hankering for something quite specific. The food was wonderful, and there was plenty of it. We're really greatful for the experience and loved every minute of our visit. Thank you.

   Nice restaurant with great service. Super friendly and attentive staff going above expectations by bringing a sample of the Curry to try. Food was very good. Big portions, well blended with tender lamb/chicken, fresh nan, mushroom pilau and crispy poppadoms. Onion bhaji was flat - was expecting a round one... but no big problem. Menu had enough dishes to choose from with traditional favourites alongside a few new ones, including the mushroom marsala curry. Good atmosphere inside and I detected a lot of regular customers who the staff knew well. Only negative thing being the price with average main dish costing around £13. That's 20% higher than I'd normally pay so the entire cost for two main course, one rice, one nan, onion bhaji, 4 poppadoms and pickle tray with 2 pints of lager was £63. That's quite expensive for a curry, I feel.

   Excellent customer service and scrumptious food. Meat was tender and flavoursome, salad was fresh and desi chai was spot on. They made sure we were all looked after and that food was to our liking. Handy car park on-site. I would most certainly recommend The Shalimar anytime.
