" I had the chance to dine at Shiva with my family, and we were pleasantly surprised by the quality of food. Each dish was flavorful, and the presentation was beautiful. However, the service was a little slow, and we had to ask multiple times for refills on drinks. Nonetheless, the friendly staff made up for the slower service. The quantity of food served was certainly generous, which is a big plus! " (*Curated Review*)

" I ordered takeout from Shiva for a small dinner party and was wowed by how everything turned out. The food arrived hot and fresh, packed beautifully. The chicken vindaloo was spicy, just like I asked, and the garlic naan was delightful. However, I did notice some imbalance in the flavors of the biryani, which was slightly bland. Overall, my guests were impressed, and I will order again. " (*Curated Review*)

" Shiva has the best samosas I have ever had! My friends and I absolutely loved the variety of flavors and spices. We were treated to some wonderful hospitality from the staff who were more than willing to help us choose our dishes. Even though it's sometimes crowded, the ambiance remains cozy. Highly recommend! " (*Curated Review*)

" The food at Shiva is consistently delicious. The flavors are authentic and transport me right back to India with every bite. The staff is friendly and always willing to recommend their best sellers. I often come for their lunch specials, which are an incredible value for the quality and quantity provided. I recommend the butter chicken a must-try! " (*Curated Review*)

" I cannot recommend Shiva highly enough! Every dish was mouthwatering, from the savory samosas to the luscious biryani. It was a total flavor bomb! The service was impeccable, and we felt like we were the only guests in the restaurant. They made sure we had everything we needed without being intrusive. It's now our go-to spot for Indian food! " (*Curated Review*)

" This is undoubtedly my favorite Indian restaurant in the area. From the moment I walked in, I felt welcomed. The staff was professional and attentive. The mixed platter was a delightful option to share. I adore their spicy shrimp curry—it strikes a perfect balance of heat and flavor. Best to come with an empty stomach, the portions are plentiful. " (*Curated Review*)

" I am a big fan of Shiva! Their food has consistently been flavorful and fresh every single time I visit. Everything from their Chicken Tikka to the Vegetable Biryani is simply delicious. The only issue I have is that every time I order takeout, it seems to arrive a little later than expected, but that’s a minor inconvenience compared to the taste! " (*Curated Review*)
