We were planning to try Shiva's, but we quickly realized that there was a band playing on the green…read moreand an incredible number of people - thinking we had no chance to be seated, we stood in line anyway. Surprise! they seated us with no problem - in part because they have lots of seating, but also the stiffest competition was for outside seating. I guess I would describe Shiva's decor as funky, modern Indian - very cozy, inviting and unmistakenly Indian. The staff were excellent - friendly, efficient, & kind. We were immediately seated and then had a discussion about the various menu options. I got a a large Taj Mahal beer (it's been a while) and the lamb Chettinadu with paneer added. I went with 9/10 spice level and was chastened to see it described as "American Hot" on the receipt. My wife did a mild, lamb Nilgiri and the garlic naan. Our waiter's guidance was spot on! We really enjoyed everything. My Chettinadu was rich, earthy, and complex - I would definitely order it again (after I try out some of their other offerings). The paneer addition was a really good move. The spice level was perfect - for the first 3 bites I was wondering if I should have upped it, but by bite 4 it was game on. It was spicy excellence that was not overwhelming. My wife was also impressed by her Nilgiri - she said it reminded her of a green mole from Mexico. I look forward to returning to Shiva's - great ambiance, service and food at reasonable prices - what more can you ask for? You should do yourself a favor and visit them too.

I usually order from DoorDash so this review is for those…read more Butter Chicken - 5/5 and easily one of my top 3 in the area. Very creamy and flavorful, and the chicken was so incredibly tender Tikka Masala - 5/5 basically it's the butter chicken plus bell peppers and onions. I didn't think it could get better than the butter chicken but that's exactly how to make it better, in my book. Naan - 3/5. One of the weaker naans in the area. Can't tell that the butter naan has any butter on it and it's not very fluffy. Rice - 2/5. I just want plain rice on the side. Whatever I got had far too much going on and I didn't like the flavor when trying to eat my curry. Chicken 65 - 5/5 absolutely spot on delicious. Interior - 2/5. Typical for this genre of restaurant...this is not the sort of place I'd want to dine in. You certainly can, but it's lacking on the interior. I picked up my second order from here and would not recommend dining in. Service - N/A since I did not dine in. Price - 4/5 Overall I'm super excited about this being my new takeout place. I've tried a lot of basic white girl Indian dishes around the area and this one is by far the best. I just wish their naan was better and their rice was plain. Realistically I should give the place a 4/5 for that, but their chicken tikka is just that good.

Do not buy anything takeout to serve your guest. you will be disappointed…read more I bought Veg Dum Biryani family pack yesterday. The dish was inedible due to excessive salt and spice, leaving my guests hungry and forcing me to throw the food away. I feel my time and money were wasted, and I'm looking for a refund or a credit to make up for this experience. I called and dropped message to desi chicas but they don't even reply on that.

First time to try Spice Creations under new management and the food was amazing!!…read moreWe had the Homestyle Goat Curry and the Butter Chicken. Both were rich and flavorful with the perfect amount of spices. We also ordered the Naan Bread Basket which was excellent. And Mango Lassi for drinks and Gulab Jamun for dessert. It was a very memorable meal and the chef/owner even came out to ask how our dinner was. This is now my favorite Indian restaurant. We will definitely be back!

Had not been here in several years. It is now under different management. Nice and clean place…read more Service was good. I was surprised that they have a full bar now and happy hour Monday thru Thursday. We ordered mix veg pakoda and chicken malai tikka for appetizers in addition to their complimentary papad and chutneys. Both were good, however, the pakodas should be smaller and crispier and kakabs smaller and more tender. For entrees, we ordered daal makhani and malai methi paneer with butter roti and garlic naan. Both entrees were excellent! The servings are good sized too...we had plenty of leftovers. Do visit if you are in the area.

I believe they changed management at this place. We ordered a delivery for chicken curry, rice and…read morenaan. Food arrived without the rice! we called them, they said we can go there and get the rice. We drove to the place and got the rice which was old and probably from left overs since it looked different colors. We got stomach discomfort from that old rice. Will never go there again. This happened few months ago and only now got to write this review.

From the outside, the restaurant feels like a fresh and promising new concept. On our first visit,…read morewe genuinely enjoyed the conventional idli and vadas we ordered -- they were well prepared and satisfying. However, as they say, "second time's a charm." Unfortunately, that wasn't our experience. The dosas we both ordered were undercooked and half done, which was disappointing. When we politely pointed this out, it seemed that both the kitchen staff and the server took the feedback personally rather than professionally. Constructive feedback is meant to improve the experience, not offend. As guests, we should feel comfortable sharing honest opinions about the food served to us -- pun intended, please don't "dare" misunderstand that. We hope this is taken in the right spirit and helps improve consistency and service going forward.

The service was slow when we went but they were understaff and super apologetic. Seems like it was more out of the norm.

I'd still go again to see if the experience is better.
