About Shalimar Catering

Shalimar Restaurant has established a standard for authentic Pakistani and Indian food in the San Francisco Bay Area for more than a decade and has become a household name in the Pakistani and Indian community. The number of people being served at any one time in any of the four locations of the restaurant and a host of local and national awards, including best restaurant in San Francisco and a top-50 restaurant in the US, are a testament to the popularity, quality and taste of the food.

The consistent quality and taste day after day for over a decade is an asset un-matched by any other restaurant in its category. A variety of savory recipes from Pakistan and Northern India capture the rich tapestry of culture and culinary traditions of the Indian sub-continent. Every dish is meticulously prepared daily in authentic home-style, using only natural spices, fresh ingredients and only the best of meats available, which include meats from free-range grown poultry and animals.

Shalimar has expanded its operations from serving food in its restaurant locations to catering for all events. Our catering offers the entire range of services, including quality crockery, silverware, linen, chafing dishes and full service, buffet or banquet style, by our trained and courteous staff. We also offer a range of decoration services for your events.

Our catering also offers a food pick-up and delivery services with minimum orders. Customers can also place orders on-line. See the ONLINE ORDERING tab for more information.
