Shiva Indian Restaurant

Food was OK, decor was pretty, service was bad. I'm typically a 25-35% tipper, and my trip to Shiva was the first time I tipped below 20% in more than 20 years.Unfriendly, absurdly slow service and inaccurate orders. Everyone else was finished by the time one member of the party finally got her correct order.

Very cultural and cute Indian restaurant giving me New York cozy vibes with its small space inside. I stopped by for Indian chai and can't get enough of it. I definitely will come here with friends and colleagues to this restaurant. Very few people can appreciate this cultural spot in Florida.

Service was great wine was amazing and flavors were on point we enjoyed our experience

A great little Indian restaurant in Mount Dora. Mount Dora was packed for some festival but we were able to get right in. The tandoori chicken was excellent and the krona was plentiful the leftovers will be great

I love strolling around Mount Dora and trying new restaurants, I stumbled upon Shiva Indian Restaurant and was excited. The outside was beautiful, I loved the decor and all the beautiful detail they took the time to put in the restaurant. The service was ok, the young lady was new so she was trying but we kept having to flag her down for drink refills and little things you would ask for if she checked in. There was a man that was very helpful. I apologize I did not get their names. The food was subpar, I enjoy trying new Indian restaurants and I get the same thing every time. Lamb samosa, Chicken tikka masala and lamb biriyani. The tikka needed more spices, it was bland and the same for the biriyani. I will say after asking for the yogurt sauce, I was able to eat the biriyani. I samosa was ok lacked seasoning. Overall, I'm not sure it's a restaurant I have to return to as there are so many more to try but I won't say never.

Dinner at Shiva was such an enjoyable experience. The restaurant was cozy and inviting. We knew that we were going to get an authentic experience the moment that we walked into the door.Our server was attentive and informative, offering friendly conversation to our large group. The food was fresh and flavorful. I enjoyed vegetable Samosa with a delicious, earthy Chutney and a warm bowl of Dal Makhani with basmati rice and garlic naan. I will definitely be back soon!!

My wife and I have dined here at least three times since we've moved to central Florida in 2017-and have yet to be disappointed!

The samosa chaat was amazing. I got the chicken tikka masala as mild, and it wasn't flavorful. The garlic naan was flavorful.

We have tried several different dishes and it's always delicious. The Tika Misalla is one of our favorites.

Great food, great service. A family member of mine knows someone there, so it's fun to say hello when we eat there once in a while. The restaurant is quiet, not much ruckus, if not at all. Many funny, goofy memories have been formed there. Excellent place to eat. Yummy food, too!
