    Old 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.

    I 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

    I 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.

    yummy food, great service but the corner seating was a bit cramped, it had heater next to it, so the positive side is that it kept us warm.

    The food was beyond my expectation. It was so authentic and yummy. We enjoyed our dinner there. The service was good. They speak English and French both which is very convenient. Would definitely recommend to go and try their dish. They served us with the papad complimentary service with green chilli sauce, mango mix pickle and sweet sauce.
