We made reservations for lunch on a Sunday but coming in, we definitely did not need them. There was not a lot of people there. And after having some wonderful food, that's surprised me! Service was great and very friendly. You could tell this place was clean and very well maintained. My husband and I had lunch with a friend. They have a pretty extensive menu but it's not as extensive as a lot of other Indian restaurants. I think they managed to condense it down for most people. I have the chicken tikka McGreb which is close to the masala like stuff but it's full of mushrooms which I just love! The Jasmine rice it came with was also delicious underneath it. It came with garlic naan as well which was super nice because other places we go to, you have to pay more for garlic naan. My husband had more of a fried rice dish that also came with something that has creamy lentils. I can't remember what it is called. But it was delicious! We also shared an appetizer of samosas which came with spicy onions, tamarind, and a delicious green sauce. We finished off lunch with a gulab jamun dessert. The whole place served a great food and we are very much looking forward to coming back!

Wow- what a surprise from Viva India!We had heard good things from friends who had been. This location has been a number of restaurants over the years and we were pleased to find the most recent remodel has reduced the overall size of the restaurant. Much cozier, and a nice refresh. We were seated in a booth by the bar. The dishes we ordered were both delicious, and the portions are surprisingly generous - plenty of leftovers for next day lunch. I tried the Biryani and my friend had the Chicken Tikka Mughlai with a side of garlic naan. Not sure if we got 'lost' but the missing star is for some gaps in service. Despite sitting in a booth visible from the bar, once our food was delivered, nobody checked on us until we were finished. My water and beer were both empty for a long time. Hopefully this was a one time issue and I'll be able to update after my next visit - which will be soon to this delicious spot. They did a pretty busy carry out business while we were there. I'd definitely think about carry out here. Yum!

Stopped by for the lunch special. We got a chicken Tikka masala and vindaloo both level 2 spice with complementary garlic nannThe portion were generous. Things were presented in sharable dishes. The Tikka masala was very creamy with generous amount of protein but definitely could have been more spicy, would get a 3/6. The vindaloo has a strong tomato vinegar taste and had potatoes and ample amounts of chicken thighs. Service was prompt and attentive and the restaurant was pretty clean. Overall this place is amazing for lunch as the portions were generous and the taste was on point. My new favorite among all Indian restaurants.

Ordered: chicken tikki masala and chicken vindalooParking: small lot or street parking We went for lunch and the food came out pretty quickly. The service was awesome. The portions are generous. I'm really glad I went during lunch- they have a lunch special for half off and the entrees include garlic nann! I got a spice level 2 but it wasn't spicy at all, would get a 3 next time. They had a great amount of visible chicken pieces in each entree. Everything was perfectly seasoned!

We love this place and love having them in the neighborhood. Please do not be discouraged by the parking situation. It is worth it. We love the butter chicken, naan and shrimp tandoori- quick service. Good for dine in or take out.

I always smell this place when walking on the Wasson Way, finally we got to visit and wow! The inside looks great, really pretty. The food was fantastic, we tried two chicken dishes. I had one with mushrooms that I'm already dreaming about the leftovers in my fridge. Minus one star as the service was not great, but that wouldn't stop me from going back.

I love this place. It has become our go-to Indian Restaurant. It's local to us. Down on the corner of erie and Saybrook. (Yes that place where most restaurants go to die). Not anymore viva's business is running strong. It a perfect walk in east hyde park. Viva serves up fresh and delicious Indian. The restaurant is upgraded and very nice inside. They even have a nice out door space out front. The service is always good. They do a very good take out business as well. Baba and Ambar you've been replaced.

Mmmm this place was so tasty! It had been a while since I had some good Indian food and was meeting friends here for dinner. The service was great even with a large group, and the portions were larger than I was expecting!

Came here on a Thursday night with a couple buddies looking for some traditional Indian with the typical naan and rice combination.Absolutely incredible experience. We were greeted by friendly service and everyone working there was so nice and knowledgeable about their cuisine as well. Not to mention the restaurant itself was comfortable and felt nice to dine in at. Can't explain enough if you are looking for good Indian food this is your spot.
