About Shalimar (wigan)
Shalimar is a takeout restaurant in Wigan, at 7 Orrell Rd, with a menu built around kebabs and pizzas. The Shalimar special kebab sits alongside donner, shish and tikka kebabs, so the meat choice runs across several styles. A chicken tikka wrap covers the same flavours in a different format. Pizzas, including pepperoni, make up the other half of the menu, and garlic bread and cheese are available as a side. Kebabs go out wrapped in foil and paper, ready to carry home. Portions are large. Orders are walk-in, placed at the shop.

Customer Review Summary
The complaints are substantial. Several reviewers say the shish kebab and chicken were bone dry, one calling the shish meat tasteless and not like lamb, and another finding the Shalimar special as dry as the Sahara. Two report food arriving cold or just warm, including a chicken tikka wrap and a pepperoni pizza. One says the card machine was not working and a bank transfer was needed, and another says they were not told it was cash only until they arrived. One reviewer wishes the kebabs came in takeaway boxes, since the sauce sticks to the tinfoil. Free garlic bread arriving piping hot is the detail one diner remembers.

“Great experience. The food was fresh and well cooked. Chicken tikka kebab was full of flavor. Lamb shish kebab was soft and juicy. Shalimar special kebab had a good mix and tasted great. Portion sizes were big. You get good value for your money. Staff were polite and service was quick. Will visit again. Highly recommended.”
