Shehnai Restaurant - Hamilton, Ontario

We recently tried the lunch buffet at Shehnai Restaurant with our kids, and it was a delightful experience! Even though the buffet offered a smaller selection, everything we tasted was bursting with flavor. The butter chicken and tandoori chicken were standouts, but the fish chili and goat curry were also ... delicious. To our surprise, our kids were craving dal makhani, which wasn't on the buffet. The friendly server went above and beyond, bringing them a portion without hesitation. We left happy and satisfied - a huge win for a family outing! Read more

This is a hidden gem near downtown Hamilton that serves a few select Indian dishes at great value. The restaurant itself is small, housing around 12 tables and a small bar. The lunch buffet consists of 8 hot dishes, including butter chicken, tandoori chicken, and a variety of curries, naan, ... salad, and dessert. The service is attentive and friendly. My family and I come here often. We're very happy that this restaurant survived COVID. Read more

Amazing food. Simple not spicy. Just good Indian food. Buffet was excellente value. Service was amazing.

Came upon Shenai after systematicly going through random Indian restaurants in Hamilton. Since then I've ordered here several times, always take-out. The store doesn't have the nicest decor, inside or out, therefore the reason for takeout. There is sufficient parking if needed though. The naan is fresh and delicious. I like their lamb ... korma and their tikka-masala between other dishes. Don't think I've tried anything here that wasn't good. Maybe not the best, but definitely above average. Read more

What a great place. Delicious dinner of 8 items for about 70$. The Briani rice is excellent and fantastic portion. Butter chicken has great flavour, it could be a bit less tomatoes. All flavours are lovely, and it feels like they are made with care Definitely a bit messy on delivery, ... but that's given based on the saucy nature of this cousin. I will definitely recommend.
