Shivas Bar & Grill

We were excited to find Indian food close to home. Food was great! You can smell the aroma as you approach the restaurant. We tried to garlic naan, lamb samosas, a chicken dish, a paneer dish and the rice pudding dessert. Everything was great. Service was excellent as well. It's also open until 12a! Can't wait to come back and would definitely recommend.

Surprised by the few Indian restaurants located within downtown- and was even more surprised to see how many raving reviews this place had on google.Came by for lunch. Have a weak spot for lychee martinis- but this definitely did not hit the mark. Went with the Gobi 65 which was nice and flavourful. The mixed veg Chettinad had some bold flavour, a little heavy on the Cardomom for me but I'm not sure if that's the normal profile. The lamb biriyani- now that's where it's at. And get it in the clay pot! The flavours here were diving and comforting and there was an abundance of tender meat. For just 2 of us we had plenty leftover to divvy up for later! Service is good and we got checked on regularly. They were kind enough to write off one of the drinks that my friend did not enjoy.

Daughter and SIL took me to Shivas to celebrate a promotion.The food was great, 7/10 this is due to the chicken being though. Now, the service was seriously 2/10, there were three of us, we got two menus, I asked for a menu and the very young waitress was very confused. Also, for some reason, she thought we were going to share one entree. She didn't ask us individually what we were having. We had to literally tell her how to get our order down. No wonder they had so many to go orders. The service was awful.

Visit this place last year in December and I had to get a to go order for a customer but the ambiance of the place was absolutely amazing the staff was extremely nice and helpful and even told me back stories of the big bottles of liquor that they have on the bar LOL I will be going back here for myself and checking out the food. I asked the customer of whom I was getting it for how they liked the place and he raved about them so I definitely need to check out what all the fuss is about!!!

The food here is always great and the service is always awesome. I have been here several times for dinner and it's always a winner for me and my family great food great service and great ambience. The desserts are not my favorite nor are the cocktails but if you want some great authentic Indian food this is a great spot.

Very very rare dishes. So glad we decided to stop by. I had to come back the next day for more. The nilgiri was everything I've been missing. I thought when I discovered chat with all the various sauces and chickpeas I was on to something. No, you have to try more. The more I try, the more I understand why people fought over these spices. Sheeeesh. My tandoori was all the way legit compared to a lot of, just red on the outside, I've had so much of. Rarely do I have tandoori this well made. I honestly started to give up on eating tandoori all together. Well these guys brought it back to life for me. Every dish I tried was spot on. Even their levels of spice was absolute appropriate with such full flavored spices.My service was great. Not the best service I've ever had but it was very good. I never felt neglected. One thing that I also appreciated was how unique all of their flavors were. So rich and sweet or almost too sweet on occasions. My raita and chutney were all great. Very well made and great quality.Even their naan was high quality. Made with care. We ordered the paneer stuffed naan. It had a perfect amount of paneer that was evenly spread through the filling. Maybe it could have had more paneer but I did not feel like it wasn't enough. I will note, a lot of places make great food, but these guys do it on every dish in a way that makes you feel like they eat their own food. Every dish we had was made with love and care. The presentation was not over the top. Kind of like driving a properly tuned and enhanced bmw. Now for the interior, I enjoyed it. The theme matches its name. I felt like I was in a very nice Indian bar. Not the most luxury, just very nice. Parking in the area was a bit slim, but we actually didn't not have an issue. We parked within a block of the restaurant. So much to do in the area I really enjoyed myself.

Tried this place on my trip to Dallas. It's located on the corner and there is a parking garage near by along with plenty of parking opposite it. In drinks I ordered Virgin Mojito which was good.For food I had Dal Makhani and Onion Kulcha. Dal Makhani was delicious and was served with a portion of rice. I loved the authentic taste and flavor. The service was good. Ambiance was decent.I would highly recommend this place! A+ star and MUST TRY!

Out on family trip to Dallas and all of us were hungry for some legit Indian meal and Shiva was a great surprise!We ordered mango lassi and virgin mojito for drinks and they are really good.On food we had bread basket, peshawari naan, shahi panneer, dal makhni and malai kofta.The trad Indian food above was amazing in every way, Malai kofta stood out but dal makhni and shahi paneer were good as well.All the breads were great, well cooked fresh. Peshawari naan stood out. Will highly recommend this place, has a decent bar and great ambience and the service doesn't disappoint either!

No buffet but all the food is super yummy and the service is top notch! Raj made sure everything was perfect and that spice levels were just what we wanted.The naan bread basket for $12 had like 10 pieces of onion, garlic, spinach and plain naan! The butter chicken was excellent, standout for me was getting to try Mulligatawny soup (lentil and chicken soup with maybe some lemon in it?) that was new flavors for me but soooooo yummyAnd a little taste of their rice pudding at the end. Mmmm

What a great spot so close to the downtown Dallas hotels. This place is 4 stars on food quality alone, but you easily get enough in one entree for two to three meals making by it an absolute steal. Highly recommend the Lamb Biryani and Baigan Bartha.
