Shalimar Cuisine of India

Shalimar Cuisine of India serves tandoori dishes cooked over charcoal in clay ovens, along with curries and dishes drawn from different regions of India. The kitchen rotates through styles from across the country, so the menu covers more ground than a single regional cooking tradition. LA Weekly once named it the best Indian restaurant in the San Fernando Valley, and it has been serving Valley diners for more than three decades.

The dining room has traditional decor, and the smell of curry and tandoori greets you as you come in. Orders can be placed online through the restaurant's website. Shalimar is on Ventura Boulevard in Woodland Hills, and it serves lunch and dinner most days, with later hours on Friday.
