" I have been to Shinwa multiple times, and it's always a pleasure! They have an extensive menu with many vegetarian and non-vegetarian options. The ambiance is casual with a nice vibe for a meal with friends. If you love the Indo-Chinese cuisine, you will find it delightful here. Just make sure to ask for less spicy if you prefer milder food. " (*Curated Review*)

" Got takeout for a movie night, and it was a hit! The chicken pakora had an amazing crunch, and their spicy chili sauce paired perfectly. However, the sweet and sour chicken was excessively sweet for my taste. The portions were impressive considering the price, which added to my satisfaction. I would give this place another chance. " (*Curated Review*)

" Tried Shinwa after a friend's suggestion and was pleasantly surprised! I loved their garlic chicken noodles, and the servings were huge. The service was friendly but could use some speeding up. Overall, it's a great spot for takeout with fair prices for the portion sizes. " (*Curated Review*)

" Our family loves ordering from Shinwa! We usually get the mixed fried rice and various vegetarian dishes. The portions are ample for our family, and the flavor is consistently good. The only downside has been the occasional delay in service during peak hours, but the quality of the food makes it worthwhile. Highly recommend trying their specials, each dish has its own unique twist! " (*Curated Review*)

" The service was very slow during my visit, which detracted from the experience. However, the food was overall good. The shrimp pakora had a wonderful crunch, but the chili chicken was a bit too sweet for my taste. I'm not sure if I would return given the service issues. " (*Curated Review*)

" I’ve been coming to Shinwa since college, and it never disappoints. The food is consistently good, though I do think it has gotten a bit sweeter over the years. The portions are always enough to share! The atmosphere can be bustling on weekends, which doesn't bother me much since the energy is very lively. It’s one of those restaurants that makes you feel at home. " (*Curated Review*)

" Wonderful experience! The ambiance is lively, which adds to the enjoyment. I had the chicken fried rice, and the flavors were incredible. Perfectly spiced and plentiful! Staff was attentive and friendly despite the busy environment. I would recommend this place to anyone looking for good Asian fusion. " (*Curated Review*)
