    We were visiting from the East Coast and really enjoyed everything about this restaurant, a taste of Pakistan in South Dakota! The outside area is very well thought out and I absolutely loved all the decor, including the beautiful violet flowers in the background. We sat in the igloo, great for if the weather is a little rainy. There are also games you can play like connect four and mini golf. Now.. on to the food! We were really craving rice after days of travel eating burgers and sandwiches. We shared the chicken tikka, lamb, eggplant, and daal and each were served with a bed of rice and chutney. The chicken had a nice amount of spice. Naan tasted fresh and was a great accompaniment. We could tell a lot of love went into the food. Owners and service were great and would highly recommend to anyone, locals and visitors alike!

    No matter where we go, even on vacation in Hot Springs, SD, my husband wants Middle Eastern or Indian food. If you find yourself wanting it too, do not sleep on The Silk Road. I wish our picture was scratch and sniff because it smells simply amazing. The food from Silk Road Experience hit the spot when we needed a hot filling meal on a bitter cold night. Silk Road offers Pakistani and Indian food. I got the beef and he got the chicken and it came with the best garlic naan. The beef was too spicy for me but my hubby enjoyed it all. I highly recommend checking this place out. I hope we can return when it's warm enough to enjoy outside in their little courtyard area with lights strung around. Such wonderful ambiance. Also, the couple who own this are very sweet and open for conversation. They'll answer all your questions about the food, and they love giving samples. Try the tea!

    No bathroom here with being an outdoor place and all, so this review is all food and service. The service here is so awesome. The owners are the nicest people on the planet and the food is incredible. They even have vegan options! PLEASE check this place out, you WILL NOT regret it. Easily my favorite restaurant in Hot Springs, one of my favorites in the Black Hills, maybe one of my favorites in the state of South Dakota. An absolute hidden gem.

    This is such a great restaurant! If you are ever in Hot Spring, South Dakota and crave authentic Pakistani cuisine, look no further than The Silk Road. While I have not yet had an opportunity to enjoy their dinner menu, I have enjoyed their Paratha Rolls twice thus far, with BBQ lamb and chicken, and they were excellent. They are very much like Greek gyros, but with a Pakistani touch. I highly recommend ordering the BBQ lamb version, because it was excellent, and because it is hard to find decent lamb. I paid via Venmo both times.

    Okra Masala, comes with garlic naan and basmati rive. Mango Lassi.

    Kind of a food truck vibe although the structure appears to be permanent. Cash or check only. Outside dining only. Served on paper. Nevertheless, awesomely good. Subtly spiced. Certainly not expected from that presentation. I probably wouldn't have eaten here if it hadn't been recommended by my Airbnb host. Glad I did.

    It's a really cute set up in an alley. I personally don't know what authentic Pakistan food is like but if someone told me this was it then I would totally believe them. The food was amazing. It seems like the menu may change frequently so your own adventure when you get there!

    Front of restaurant. With the owner to the left. Take out and outdoor seating only.

    See all

    Food was very good. Eating is outdoor only so we took ours to go. Great find on Yelp.
