Shalimar Restaurant, Dachau

I've been a regular customer at this place. Whenever homesickness get too much to bear or the desire for some delicious 'home' food overcomes me (read too lazy to cook myself), I let myself to be pampered with the lovely food at this place.

The place is not too big; probably 10-15 tables. You are recieved and served by the owner, Mr.Bhatia himself. He always has something new to talk about. Pleasant atmosphere, food that leaves you licking your finders away, good service and decent prices are the pros here. At the end of a lovely dinner, you certainly feel you got more than what you paid for.
The music at the place could be updated a bit; I guess old bollywood songs or hindustanic music is meant to give the typical indian feeling. The restaurants location in Dachau makes it a bit difficult to reach when travelling with local transport. On weekends the service can get quite slow because there is only one person to attend to all. But it is always worth the wait.

Summary:
+ simply great food
+ regular prices compared
+ good service
+ pleasant atmosphere
+ special diwali parties and other festive events are held every year.
+ Lunch Buffet for 7,90€
+ Special wishes for 'off-the-menu' dishes are gladly taken care of.

- No home delivery service; food can be ordered but must be picked up.
- Service gets slow during weekends
- The boring music kinda gets on the nerve at times.
- The Buffet can be quite disappointing at times.

My rating: 4/5
