Shalimar, Mughlai restaurant in Mohammed Ali Road, Mumbai, India
Shalimar is a restaurant on Mohammed Ali Road in Bhendi Bazaar that serves traditional Mughlai dishes, Chinese cuisine, and seafood specialties. The kitchen operates throughout evening hours and offers a range of regional dishes on its menu.
The restaurant opened over 45 years ago as a small stall serving falooda and fresh juices. What started small grew into a successful restaurant group operating across multiple locations today.
The place draws crowds during Ramadan when people come after prayers to share traditional Mughlai meals together. Evenings here feel social and warm, with families and groups gathering around tables to eat.
The place opens in the evening and stays open late into the night, though reservations are available if you prefer. The Mohammed Ali Road area gets busy in the evenings, especially during Ramadan, so arriving early helps avoid crowds.
The kitchen has dedicated stations for preparing signature dishes like Shalimar Chicken Chilly and Khazana Kabab with careful technique. Their falooda dessert is made by hand following traditional methods that keep customers coming back.
