" Just had the most amazing dining experience at Viva Cocina! The butter chicken was incredibly rich and creamy, perfectly balanced with spices. I also loved the garlic naan—so fresh and warm! My friends couldn't stop raving about the chana masala either. The ambiance was cozy and inviting, making it ideal for a casual meal or a special occasion. Service was prompt, and our server was incredibly knowledgeable about the menu. Highly recommend! " (*Curated Review*)

" Absolutely fantastic! The butter chicken was out of this world, and paired perfectly with the garlic naan. I was particularly impressed with how fresh everything tasted. Anderson, our server, was very attentive and made great recommendations. Would highly recommend giving this place a visit if you're looking for quality Indian food. " (*Curated Review*)

" Decided to try this place after hearing so many raves about it. While I agree the food is very good, I was slightly let down by the portion size for the chicken curry. It was delicious, but I left still feeling hungry. The ambiance was lovely, though, and the service was excellent. I might consider takeout next time just to ensure I get enough to eat! " (*Curated Review*)

" Sooo glad I found this hidden gem! The fish tikka was the best I have had in a long time—simply melt-in-your-mouth tender and full of flavor. The naan was also top-notch. The service was friendly and quick. Highly recommend if you’re craving Indian food! " (*Curated Review*)

" I frequently try Viva Cocina, and I’m always pleased with my meal. The flavors are authentic, and the garlic naan is a must-order! I just wish the entrees were a little more generous in portion size. Service is usually very good though. It’s a nice place! " (*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*)
