Indulge in the royal flavors of our Shahi Paneer at Shahi Flames in Winnipeg's St. Boniface neighborhood. Soft cubes of cottage cheese are simmered in a rich, creamy gravy made with tomatoes, cashews, and aromatic spices. This vegetarian delicacy is truly fit for royalty - "Shahi" means royal in Hindi.
Shahi Paneer is a Mughlai dish that originated in the royal kitchens of India, and at Shahi Flames, we honor this heritage with our authentic preparation. We use fresh, soft paneer (cottage cheese) that's lightly fried to create a golden exterior while maintaining its creamy interior.
The gravy is where the magic happens - we blend cashews, tomatoes, and cream with aromatic spices including cardamom, cinnamon, and saffron. The result is a luxuriously smooth, mildly spiced sauce that perfectly complements the subtle flavor of the paneer.
True to our restaurant's name, Shahi Flames takes pride in dishes that embody "Shahi" (royal) qualities. Our Shahi Paneer is rich without being heavy, aromatic without being overpowering, and satisfying enough to be a meal on its own. It's a favorite among our vegetarian guests and meat-lovers alike.
"I have ordered from this restaurant a few times, it never disappoints. Last time I got the veggie korma. Everything was delicious and it was a decent price for the amount of food."
"Great variety and they strive to match the heat levels requested. Been here multiple times since they opened and it is consistent. We've never had a bad experience here."
"This is probably the best Indian restaurant I've been to in Winnipeg. Food quality is excellent and so is the variety. Can't go wrong with anything on their vast menu."
