About
Shalimar - 17 Rue Jean Jacques Rousseau
Nestled in the heart of Nantes, at 17 Rue Jean Jacques Rousseau, Shalimar invites food enthusiasts to embark on an authentic culinary journey through the flavors of South Asia. This cozy establishment is more than just a restaurant; it’s a hub for those who cherish aromatic spices and hearty portions. With a phone number still buzzing with customer inquiries at +33 2 51 84 28 28, Shalimar has carved a niche in the competitive Nantes dining scene.
Customer experiences reveal a common thread: a warm welcome from the dedicated staff who seem to genuinely care about your experience. Hassan Kaleem aptly described the hospitality at Shalimar; the unwavering enthusiasm of the staff sets a vibrant tone from the moment you step in. The food? A delightful array that includes dishes like Qoarma, Lassi, buttery Naan, traditional Pakistani Qulfi, crispy Samosas, and aromatic Lamb Biryani.
Those who have sampled the Biriyani might echo the sentiment of improvement regarding the addition of Matar (green peas). However, the quality of the ingredients and the culinary expertise shine through, as stated by Steven Coates, who commended the flavors and service alike. A special mention goes to the Kulfi, praised by S “K & S”—a dessert that brings a sweet ending to an already mouthwatering meal. It’s moments like these that underscore the restaurant's commitment to authenticity.
With meals that not only satisfy but also offer good value, Jay Vine highlighted the affordability of dining here—a group of six enjoying a lavish feast for €215 is testimony to the restaurant's generous portions. However, not every review shines; Teresa Sorokin shared a contrasting experience, noting a chilly service that lacked warmth. This points to the potential inconsistency as they find their footing in a new dining landscape.
In conclusion, Shalimar stands as a promising destination for anyone yearning for flavorful Pakistani cuisine in Nantes. Whether you’re sharing laughter with friends or savoring a quiet meal, the atmosphere and food promise to deliver a rewarding experience. So, if you find yourself wandering the charming streets of Nantes, make sure to stop by Shalimar for a sensational taste of Pakistan!

“ Very tasty food. Good service ”
“ Great atmosphere, 6 people ate for 215euro really good price, starters and mains. Really nice quality food and great flavour ”
“ Great food, filling. I recommend the Kulfi - I was shocked to find it in India. ”
“ I ate here as a single and found the service somewhat chilly. Not a smile to be seen, and the waiters seemed determined to avoid coming any closer than they had to which i found very strange and sad. The food was fine, perhaps a little bland but no doubt prepared to suit the French palate. ”
“ Nice very very nice food!!!!!! I really enjoyed it. During the weekend I suggest the menu around 20 euro, there is a lot of food and you can choose between two dishes, dessert and they also bring rice and naan bread (if I remember correctly). The water is gratis as everywhere here. They come near to ask if everything is fine and they also give you plastic bags with paper bags to bring the food at home if you don't eat everything! ”
“ Authentic Indian food! Nice flavors and a big variety of Indian dishes. I totally recommend naan with garlic! Kind staff all speaking in English! ”
“ Awesome burger joint! Definitely one of the best in Nantes. Recommend the B. Bendum and the Berlingot ”
