" tried Viva Cocina for the first time last night and I was blown away! The okra dish was out of this world—so flavorful and tender. I also loved the unique Indian fusion touch in the Chinese dishes. Such a fun twist! I appreciated the cleanliness of the place and the attentive service made our meal very enjoyable. Can’t wait to bring my family next time! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had high hopes for this place and it mostly delivered! The shrimp biryani was flavorful, but the serving size was smaller than I expected. I appreciate the cozy atmosphere and good service, so I'm willing to come back and try more dishes next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" I’m so glad I discovered Viva Cocina! It truly feels like a hidden gem. The flavors in the mutton biryani were so rich and authentic, much better than what I’ve had at other places. The service was exceptional, and our server Anderson was every bit the gentleman, providing recommendations and ensuring we were happy. The only downside was the portion size of the biryani—it could have been a bit bigger. Overall, I left feeling satisfied and will definitely be back soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" I really wanted to enjoy my meal here, but I encountered several issues. The curry I ordered was too oily and lacked flavor, and I was disappointed with the service speed. The ambiance is nice, but I can't overlook the food quality. I might give it another try in the future, but I feel like there are better options out there. " (*Curated Review*)

" If you're looking for a cozy place with fantastic Indian food, you have to try Viva Cocina! The staff was incredibly welcoming, and they even customized my order for me. The flavors were authentic, and I appreciated the attention to detail in each dish. Definitely will be back for more! " (*Curated Review*)

" Finally got to check out Viva Cocina! The space is small but well-decorated. I ordered the chicken tikka masala and was blown away by the depth of flavor. My only complaint was that it could have used a bit more heat. Looking forward to coming back and trying that butter chicken everyone's raving about! " (*Curated Review*)

" This is my favorite Indian spot right now. Everything I've tried has been flavorful, especially the curries. The service has always been friendly and efficient. Just wish they had bigger portions—I've found myself ordering more than one dish to feel satisfied! " (*Curated Review*)
