The ambience is unbelievable, creating a perfect dining experience. The seating arrangements are really good, and the space is very huge, allowing for a comfortable meal. The customer service is also highly appreciated, with friendly and attentive staff. For the quality and variety of dishes offered, the price is definitely worth it. Highly recommended!"

"Nice food, good selection, we didn't arrive until 10pm and it closes at 11 so all I would suggest is to get there earlier because some things were low, for example, there's a chocolate fountain(which tastes amazing) but the sliced banana for which you can use for it had ran out apart from 2 pieces, there were only marshmallows left, that was our own fault for getting there so late, but other than that it's a lovely building, decor and furniture really nice, and really good value for money at £20 each which includes unlimited soft drinks from a drinks machine. Would definitely recommend."

"It’s been long overdue to try out a place I’ve watched come together by people from whom I’ve always had good expectations. Royal Shalimar turned out to be a really pleasant experience. The lamb kebabs were the highlight for me, their tenderness and texture worked well with their creamy fresh Russian salad. Overall, it’s a lovely place with good food and a comfortable atmosphere. I’m glad I finally tried it."
