A past Best of Las Vegas winner, Shalimar remains a favorite among both locals and visitors for tasty, well-prepared Indian food served in quiet surroundings. The dishes are authentic, but newcomers to the cuisine need not fear feeling intimidated thanks to a helpful wait staff. Shalimar's luncheon buffet also is popular among diners in the know. Gandhi India's Cuisine won your second-place nod.
Our Pick: GANDHI INDIA'S CUISINE
4080 Paradise Road
We suspect that Gandhi's offerings are a bit less Americanized than those of many Indian restaurants around town, and that's great with us. Even though the prices at Gandhi may be a tad higher than you'd find at some other local Indian eateries, the mélange of tasty, spiced food, intriguing decor and, by the way, a killer lunch buffet, make Gandhi's our kind of place.
