I have been eating here for quite a while now and it really is the best Indian in the neighborhood. I noticed that a few other Indian places have recently opened but I will continue to go to Shamrat for sure. The service is excellent. The staff is friendly, courteous, and always welcoming. The menu has a good variety of spicy and not so spicy dishes and there are plenty of vegetarian options. The prices are very fair, especially considering the amount of food served and the location. They recently renovated the place and it has a much more modern decor now. I will continue to come back again and again!

This is one of the best Indian restaurant in our neighborhood. Their food and service is very good. Always go their to eat or order in.

Everything here is delicious!!great service and wonderful dishes make this a must got to or order in!! Have eaten here many times, always super!!

Me and my Gf ordered take out from them tonight, every item ordered was bland, the chicken and beef were both dryer than dust, the vegetable dish was ok, and the chutneys were extremely watery. the worst part was the banana pakoras which turned out to be huge balls of dough with a tic-tac sized piece of banana at the center. save your money and order else where.

I ordered takeout from Shamrat last night, and was very upset by the quality. The chicken korma wasn't bad, but the chicken, shrimp, and sausage in the mixed grill were flavorless and dessicated. The mint and tamarind sauces were watered down to the point of ridiculousness - do they not think that we're going to notice something like that? The lentils were watered down too. Overall, this was simply awful. The amiable delivery man got to our door pretty quickly, but who wants fast service when the food is atrocious? There are MUCH better options in the area - one simply has to glance across the street or down the block to find much more competent Indian cooking.

Granted it's not the best Indian food I've ever had (far from it) but it's more than acceptable for the price. Their lunch special includes an appetizer, bread and dessert along with the entree. It's a ton of food for a very low price. Not bad at all.

We ordered from this place last night, and though it arrived quickly in under 30 minutes, it was really abysmal. We had chicken tikka masala which had no spice or flavor, sauce tasted like oily ketchup. The cheese Naan was made with American cheese. Samosas were ok. I would definitely not recommend this place and will continue to look for a good place to get Indian take-out on the upper east side.
