9.5/10We had an excellent dinner here! Very authentic and delicious. I had butter chicken and my husband had chicken tikka masala and we shared samosa legumes. The chicken was tender and flavor across the board was very good. Staff were very kind and checked in more than once to make sure everything was good for us. Overall experience was wonderful. I personally don’t love the atmosphere of a busy market feel but my husband liked that aspect and it wasn’t a big deal to me at all. We are tourists and found the spot by searching for Indian restaurants on The Fork and we were not disappointed. It seemed like a more authentic dinner and less touristy based on location and feel for us

9/10Nice food quality. You can even order a veg version of every non-veg dish (with paneer) Amazing paneer quality too. Maybe a bit crammed in space. Toilet amazingly clean for such a full space but a bit in the way. Something we noticed and asked but the staff didnt know: there are hooks all over the restaurant on all the walls, these hooks look like the ones you can buy in india (for example from blinkit), i am just so curious what they are doing in paris and why all over the wall! :0

10/10very authentic Indian food. The butter chicken is rich, creamy, and full of flavor—absolutely delicious. Their fluffy cheese naan is a must-try: soft, warm, and loaded with melty cheese. Great food, cozy vibe, and friendly service. Highly recommended!

10/10This restaurant brings authentic Indian flavors to the heart of Paris. From the warm, spicy aromas as you enter to the beautifully presented dishes, it’s a feast for the senses. The ambiance is [elegant/cozy/modern] with subtle Bollywood touches or traditional decor. **Must-Try Dishes:** - **Butter Chicken** – Creamy, rich, and perfectly spiced. - **Lamb Biryani** – Fragrant, tender, and packed with flavor. - **Garlic Naan** – Freshly baked and deliciously buttery. - **Mango Lassi** – A sweet, refreshing balance to the spices. **Service:** The staff is [friendly/attentive/knowledgeable], happy to explain dishes or adjust spice levels. **Value for Money:** Portions are generous, and prices are reasonable for Paris (expect around €15–€30 per main). **Final Verdict:** If you're craving Indian food in Paris, old shalimar is a fantastic choice. Great for [romantic dinners/group gatherings/spice lovers].

10/10I recently dined at Old Shalimar and had a fantastic experience! The **cheese naans** were absolutely delicious—soft, buttery, and packed with just the right amount of cheese. They paired perfectly with the rich and flavorful curries. I also tried their **thali**, which was a delightful spread of well-balanced dishes. Each component was fresh and full of authentic flavors, from the aromatic dal to the perfectly spiced vegetables. The portions were generous, making it great value for money. The service was prompt, and the ambiance was warm and inviting. If you're looking for tasty Indian cuisine, especially their cheese naans and thali, Old Shalimar is a must-visit! **Highly recommended!** ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

10/10If you're craving authentic, flavorful Indian cuisine in Paris, **Old Shalimar** in the 10th arrondissement is a must-visit—especially for their **Butter Chicken**. This dish is an absolute standout, delivering the perfect balance of creamy richness, smoky spices, and tender chicken that melts in your mouth. The sauce is luxuriously velvety, with a harmonious blend of tomatoes, butter, and aromatic spices. The chicken is marinated to perfection, grilled for a slight char, and then simmered in the decadent gravy. Every bite is a burst of flavor—sweet, tangy, and just the right amount of heat. Paired with their fluffy garlic naan or fragrant basmati rice, this Butter Chicken is comfort food at its finest. The portion is generous, and the service is warm and welcoming, making the dining experience even more enjoyable. For anyone in Paris looking for the **best Butter Chicken**, Old Shalimar is a top contender. Highly recommended! **Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (5/5)** **Must-try dish!**

10/10Old Shalimar in Passage Brady, Paris, offers an authentic Butter Chicken experience. The dish features tender chicken marinated in yogurt and spices, cooked in a rich, creamy tomato-based sauce. The flavors are perfectly balanced, with subtle spices enhancing the dish without overpowering it. Paired with fluffy basmati rice and garlic naan, the meal is both comforting and flavorful. The restaurant's cozy ambiance and attentive service add to the experience, making it a must-visit for lovers of Indian cuisine.

10/10I recently had the pleasure of dining at **Old Shalimar**, and it was an exceptional experience that truly captured the essence of authentic Indian cuisine. Known for its rich flavors and traditional recipes, Old Shalimar lived up to its reputation and left me craving more. The restaurant has a cozy and welcoming atmosphere, with subtle Indian decor that adds to the charm. The staff was friendly and knowledgeable, offering great recommendations from their extensive menu. We started with the **Vegetable Pakoras** and **Tandoori Chicken**, both of which were perfectly spiced and cooked to perfection. The pakoras were crispy and flavorful, while the tandoori chicken was juicy and smoky, just as it should be. For the main course, we ordered the **Chicken Tikka Masala** and **Lamb Biryani**, accompanied by **Garlic Naan** and **Steamed Basmati Rice**. The chicken tikka masala was rich, creamy, and packed with layers of flavor, while the lamb biryani was aromatic and tender, with each grai

10/10I recently dined at old shalimar and was thoroughly impressed by the experience. The ambiance was warm and inviting, making it a perfect spot for a cozy meal. The service was impeccable; the staff was attentive and friendly, ensuring that all our needs were met. The highlight, of course, was the food. Every dish was bursting with authentic flavors and beautifully presented. The chicken tikka masala was a standout, with its rich and creamy sauce, and the naan bread was perfectly soft and warm. The vegetarian options were equally delightful, with the paneer masala stealing the show.
