Shiva Indian Restaurant

What I liked: Well decorated interior. Lots of care and thoughtful execution to the dining room. Wait staff friendly and helpful. Plenty of vegan options. Gluten free and vegan chickpea flat bread, which I had and was quite good. Vegan roti bread, which I find uncommon and very good, as most naan is not vegan. The meal was good. I’d happily eat here again. However, I felt it was a little underwhelming in terms of flavor. The Chana Masala was quite sweet. What disappointed me most was the chai tea. At $8 for a cup, I was expecting to be blown away. However, what I received was a cup with a heavy layer of oil floating on top (from the coconut cream) and a barely seasoned chai flavor. Utterly bland and undrinkable. Tea bag in hot water would have been better. Food was good but just lacked any…passion.

We really enjoy this place! The buffet is a great option and the price is super affordable. I haven't eaten here for dinner bc it's definitely a high price menu. The chef is really nice and accommodating for my gluten issue. Most everything on the buffet is GF. They also have salad and 9/10 the dessert is gf as well. The man who is also the chef, he knows the menu in and out and will assist in any way he can. If he's not there then you won't be able to get any ingredient information but I've only been there once that he wasn't. The food is really good and such an awesome lunch option. I haven't been able to try for dinner so I'm not sure about that but I would imagine the food and quality to be good.
