Shalimar Balti House

The most delicious Indian food I have ever eaten. Everything is so tasty. The vegetarian dishes are wonderful, for example the vegetable dhansak, and they are so generous with the vegetables and the sauce. I think about this food all the time. The staff are lovely and friendly. Eat in or take away - it's all good.

I've been using Shalimar for the last ten years and I'm pleased to say it's been consistently good. Rich and varied flavours throughout their range. However, a takeaway last night of a set menu for two was a disappointment. The lamb from the starter and main ( obviously from the same large cooked batch) was as tough as old leather that's had glue, treacle and my old flatmates gravy poured in it and left out in the sun to dry out for 3 days... If they can sort this out and get rid of this 'costcutting' exercise of precooking the lamb in large batches it'll continue to be one of the best takeaways in Bourne 😀

Had a delivery, it was absolutely delicious, but it was luke warm when it arrived which was a shame so ive marked down a star. Fair price, we ordered a butter chicken, korma, pilau rice and half a tandoori chicken, couldnt fault it would have paid £25ish for it and only paid £20 with a food hub voucher of £5 (I work in a takeaway and i know how long it takes for food to go cold in heat bags, i wasnt sure if it was put in one on its journey to my house but i was pretty dissapointed that it was warm) I would order from here again

Consistently good food at a reasonable price. Monday and Tuesday evening are what they call 'Banquet Night' when a set meal of your choice is available at a great price, always a struggle to finish! 😁 Good service and friendly staff. Starter, Main, Side and Rice or Nan (all of your choice from the menu) for two for less than £24
