Shalimar in Gelsenkirchen

Please make a reservation. 👌🏻 It's probably no longer an insider tip, as this wonderful restaurant on Bochumerstraße was completely sold out. The service was excellent and the food was amazing. Our group was particularly pleased with the option to choose a custom spice level (mild, European, medium, Indian). The look of the shop is—as is often the case—a matter of taste. The art on the walls really caught my attention and made me want to linger. Since the small space was a bit cramped, we ended up with "only" three stars. I'd be happy to return!

The Indian food was very tasty and beautifully prepared in the small pots.

Beriani orders pilau... Friendly service. Uncomfortable shop.
