" I was thoroughly disappointed with my visit to Shiva. The ambiance was charming and decorative, but the service was extremely slow. We waited far too long for our order, and when the food arrived, it was lukewarm and not as flavorful as I'd hoped. The chicken vindaloo was bland and somewhat watery. Additionally, the prices have increased but the quality hasn’t improved. I don't think I will be returning. " (*Curated Review*)

" We were hesitant to try this restaurant due to a few mixed reviews, but I'm glad we took the plunge! The interior is well-decorated and the atmosphere is warm and inviting. Our server efficiently took our order and was very attentive. The food was a real standout, especially the tikka masala. The flavors were rich and authentic, reminiscent of meals from our travels in India. However, I wish the dinner portion sizes were larger for the price. Overall, it felt like an authentic Indian dining experience, and we'll return! " (*Curated Review*)

" As someone who has traveled extensively in India, I was excited to try Shiva Indian Restaurant. I must say that the food did not meet my expectations. The flavors felt muted, especially in the chicken tikka. The service was prompt and friendly, but the lack of authentic flavor was disappointing. The ghee in my meal was either overused or just not made well, as it left a thick residue. While the atmosphere is charming, I won’t be rushing back due to the food quality. " (*Curated Review*)

" I love how family-oriented this restaurant feels! The owners do a fantastic job of making everyone feel welcome, and the food is delightful. I ordered the vegetarian platter to share, and everything was deliciously cooked. Plenty of flavorful options, including crispy samosas and palak paneer which were highlights! The only downside was some dishes could be spicier. I’d definitely come back to try more from their extensive menu! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had an incredible dining experience at Shiva Indian Restaurant! The ambience was cozy and inviting with lovely decor that made it feel like a true escape. Our waiter was friendly and knowledgeable about the menu, helping us choose traditional dishes. I tried the lamb curry and it was rich in flavor, perfectly spiced, and the portions were generous. The naan was fresh and complemented the meal beautifully. I can't wait to return! " (*Curated Review*)

" I was really hoping to get an amazing Indian meal based on the great reviews I read. While the atmosphere and service were good, the food left something to be desired. My chicken korma was overly sweet and lacked the authentic spice I was expecting. I realize tastes differ, but if you're a fan of traditional Indian cuisine, this might not be what you're looking for. I enjoy spicy food, and when I ordered medium heat, it didn’t deliver. Hoping their other dishes are better next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" We had dinner here last night, and it was quite simply outstanding! The restaurant is beautifully designed, and the owners are such genuinely kind people. I ordered the butter chicken and it was rich and creamy, with perfectly cooked rice. My husband had the lamb vindaloo, and he loved the heat level. The only downside was that the naan bread was a bit dry. I will absolutely return. If you're in the Mount Dora area, you need to check it out! " (*Curated Review*)
