Le Shalimar - Chalon-sur-Saône

If you like Indian Food you should stop at Le Shalimar! The Indian style of decorations is giving you the feeling being far from home and when you tast the delicious food you are dreaming of going to India! Just fantastic and the owners are giving you a warm welcome. The restaurant is having a small terrace as well! We enjoyed it!!!!

Visited this restaurant in a group of four. Note: We were all Indians with exception of one Arab, so we looked at the place for a "homely" food rather than exotic. We were disappointed. The service was extremely slow.(But the French do come with the intention of sitting for a long time so I presume this is usual?). The place is crowded doing good business. The wine on offer or is terrible (in the middle of Burgundy!). Stick to the beer. The Rotis/Naans are okay, the tandoori chicken tastes okay but what doesnt whn soaked in oil? Too oily for a tandoor. Then came the clincher: We asked for Dal Makhni. Now Dal Makhni is a very specific dish. He brought us Channa Dal instead. When we asked him as to what he was offering , he said the French dont know the difference anyway and he sees Indians once a year perhaps. I dont think that's fair. And a big fight was going on in the kitchen! This restaurant is NOT worth the money being charged!
