Shalimar - San Andreas

The best and old style amazing Pakistani kebab is here. It?s still reasonable price too.

Shalimar is a cornerstone of San Francisco. Few places outside of India and Pakistan manage to achieve truly authentic tastes and textures. This place is often frequented by the casts of the various shows in residence at the Orpheum Theater. Saw one ofthe dancers from Moulin Rouge going to town on the saag paneer.

I don?t normally write reviews but for Shalimar I feel I have to. I?ve been coming here since 2007 when I first moved to SF. It?s been a staple for me. The food is incredible, it?s spiced with a complexity not shared by most restaurants that surroundit. The chai is the best around as well. It?s a hole in the wall, for sure, but that?s part of its charm. It?s a holdout fromthe old SF, a picture of what the neighborhood was and still is. The owners are kind, the food is cheap and high quality. Gohere, you won?t be disappointed.

Great place but I wish they would renovate. At this point, if even help fund the renovation

Food was good specially shikh kabeb murg. Sindhi Biriyani was ok . Tandoori chicken was good. The best was Akbar e naan and chicken Tikka masala
