We had a wonderful experience at Shiva Indian Restaurant. Everything we ordered was absolutely delicious! We tried the samosas, chicken tikka masala, chicken korma, and malai kofta and each dish was flavorful, fresh, and served nice and warm.
The service was just as impressive as the food. Our waiter was very attentive, kept our drinks refilled, and made sure we had everything we needed. The food came out on time and tasted freshly prepared.
And the mango lassi was the best I’ve had the perfect sweet and refreshing touch to the meal!
We’ll definitely be coming back. Highly recommend!

Avoid this place.
To serve food this poor is a disgrace to Indian cuisine.
The food was absolutely horrible. I ordered the Chicken Tandoori and it was genuinely nasty—it tasted and smelled like it had been sitting in a freezer for months and then just nuked in a microwave. The aftertaste was unbearable.
I’m not sure if it’s just this specific branch or the whole chain, but the quality is nonexistent. I noticed the dining room was full of people who clearly have no clue what authentic Indian food is supposed to taste like (non Indians). As someone who knows the real thing: save your money. This isn’t it.
Very disappointed!
One star for speed, but zero for quality. While the food arrived almost instantly, it was immediately clear why: nothing tasted or looked fresh. It felt like it had been sitting under a heat lamp or pre-prepared long ago.
The only redeeming part of this meal was the Pappad with green and tamarind chutney, which was the only thing that actually tasted decent. Everything after that was a massive disappointment.

This is easily some of the best Indian food I’ve had in the Houston area. I ordered lunch and the meal was phenomenal. Everything was absolutely delicious. Definitely worth trying if you’re in the area. I hope y’all love it as much as I do!

I was really looking forward to an amazing dining experience, but unfortunately, the food fell short of my expectations. The service was also disappointing – our server seemed disengaged, simply dropping off menus and disappearing without checking in or welcoming us. It felt like they were prioritizing Uber Eats orders over dine-in customers, which was a letdown.

Love the lunch presentation of the food. Although they do not have a buffet, the lunch specials make you feel like you got items in the buffet. One main entree, spinach, dessert, Naan, lentils and white yogurt for dipping, along with basmati rice. I liked the chicken dishes better than lamb. All food was hot, good temp!

This was the first spot I tried Indian food ever. I came back after literally moving to the other side of the world and back over the last decade and it was still absolutely superb. Still my all time favorite poppadom & chutney too. (love my Indian chips & salsa ). I’m a fan of the Paneer Tikka (appy), the Chana Masala, extra spicy (veggie entree), and the Onion Kulcha & plain Naan breads. It really was a fantastic experience. Very attentive and clean.
