Review of Shalimar Restaurant in Leeds

Shalimar Restaurant in Leeds


If you haven’t tried authentic Mogul Indian cuisine then you don’t know what you’re missing! This traditional style of cooking originated in the ancient Mughal empire and features beautifully spiced dishes that are aromatic and packed with balanced flavours. Shalimar Restaurant in Leeds specializes in Mogul cuisine and as such has quickly gained a reputation among culinary aficionados as the place in Leeds to indulge in classic Indian dishes. Friendly and attentive staff will see to your every need while the crisp, modern interior is refreshing and relaxed. 

Curry lovers beware as Shalimar boasts a huge section ranging from creamy and mild to toe-curlingly hot! The chicken dahi, with homemade whipped yoghurt and a generous helping of fresh roasted cumin seeds is very popular and the king prawn dansak with yellow lentil and pineapple has a distinctive fresh and fruity taste that is delightful. Although not for the faint hearted the chicken vindaloo is another popular curry, but with lemon juice, fresh green chillies and small dried red chillies it really packs a punch! As with many other Indian restaurants in Leeds the head chef at Shalimar is only too happy to share is favourite dishes. Cauliflower with ginger karahi is delicately seasoned and spiced while the chicken with mushroom is tasty and comforting.

Vegetarians are extremely well catered for at Shalimar and can find a whole host of exciting dishes to tempt their taste buds. The mutter paneer with homemade cheese, garden peas in a creamy sauce is a real winner and the chana masala gives a touch of heat with spicy chickpeas and potatoes. Vegetable biryani is also available as is the intriguing delicious sounding satrangi biryani, which features assorted nuts and raisins prepared to your taste. While there are many restaurants in Leeds that offer vegetarian dishes, there is no question that Shalimar has an extensive range they can be proud of. It means there really is something for everyone’s taste at this popular restaurant.
