"Tricked into paying $3 extra for buffet They had a tea thermos sitting at the buffet, there was a sticker in the corner that said tea is not part of the buffet. Many people like us assumed that tea is part of the buffet (which is the usual case in other indian buffets). They charged us $3 extra for each tea. The tea was stale and tasteless, we couldn't drink it after a couple of sips. When we pointed it out to the server, she just said sorry and went ahead charging us $3/buffet extra. You can keep our $6 (for our two buffets), but don't expect us back. This is a bad practice, we will not be shying from warning our friends and family about it."

Recently I went to Shiva for lunch with my 2 years old and had a very terrible experience! I'm ashamed to say that there are restaurants with such a setting... We were both very hungry and wanted to sit down and get the buffet. Even if there was an empty table, they wouldn't sit me — the reasons were: Oh well, I can't sit on that table Your child will make a mess, and the main traffic is here so that I can't give this table to you ... I was shocked how I was treated... You actually sent me back. If you want to be discriminated for one reason or another, go here....

I think this is a slightly elevated Indian place with bedding. But for my palate it wasn't better than the typical Indian place, not that I was super distinguishing taste. To be fair, we went to lunch where it is the typical Indian buffet, so maybe they could not show their uniqueness. But everything was just. The only unique element was a tomato soup that I haven't seen in an Indian restaurant yet. The only outstanding element was the naan that was delicious (but very oily). The chicken of butter, the dish I usually use to compare, was simply OK. It's much better with Amber India and Kabababab Currys. But again I'm not an Indian food expert.
