Shalimar Restaurant — Restaurant in St. John's

Worst lunch I ever had After an exhausted month, we thought of visiting an Asian restaurant in downtown (We do not frequently dine at restaurants). And we found this restaurant in Google and plan to walk to it and then to hang around. Space was limited to couple of tables and one was occupied by a group of boys. It appeared like a part of a normal house, and nothing was special. No welcome! We chose our meals and a lady came to take the order (no smile!), and half of the plates that we asked was told that “It takes long time”. Then, she anxiously suggested an ‘all-in-one plate’ and along with we ordered a vegetable mix curry and plain rice. In 10 min, we were served.
