" Last weekend, I finally got to try Shikara and it did not disappoint! The décor was beautiful and matched perfectly with the relaxing Indian music playing softly in the background. I enjoyed the dal makhani, which was rich and creamy, but I did wish the portion was slightly larger. Arnold was attentive and provided speedy service, showing us great hospitality. I’ll definitely be back to try more dishes! " (*Curated Review*)

" Shikara has a great vibe! I thoroughly enjoyed the food, especially the chaat platter, which had authentic flavors reminiscent of street food back in India. The service was efficiently handled by Arnold, who was friendly and made great recommendations. I will definitely visit again to explore more of their menu options. " (*Curated Review*)

" I enjoyed my family’s visit to Shikara immensely! The buffet offered a stellar array of options, and I tried everything from chaat to biryani. The authenticity of the flavors struck a chord with me. Our server Arnold was excellent, ensuring we had all we needed. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, perfect for a family outing. Highly recommend for any Indian food lovers! " (*Curated Review*)

" Honestly, I went to Shikara with high hopes after reading positive reviews, but I left feeling disappointed. While the food quality was decent, I found the flavors lacked the authenticity I was looking for. Service was slow, even though there were only a few tables occupied. The atmosphere was nice enough, but the overall experience didn't meet my expectations. " (*Curated Review*)

" My partner and I had a delightful dinner at Shikara! We shared a variety of dishes, including butter chicken and mixed naan, and each bite was bursting with flavor. Arnold, our waiter, was attentive and fun to talk to. The only critique I’d have is that the music could be a bit more modern; it felt like a time warp! Overall, a fantastic dining experience. " (*Curated Review*)

The ambiance struck a great balance between elegant and comfortable. I was particularly impressed with how quickly our server, Arnold, checked in on us. Each dish we tried was very authentic. A new favorite place for Indian cuisine! " (*Curated Review*)

" Having dinner at Shikara quickly became a highlight of my week! The ambiance is charming and calm, perfect for leisurely dining. I sampled various dishes and was particularly impressed by the lamb vindaloo—a perfect balance of spicy and flavorful. Arnold was a fantastic host; he offered suggestions and ensured we were well taken care of throughout our meal. I look forward to my next visit! " (*Curated Review*)
