I am extremely disappointed with my experience tonight. I placed an order and waited almost an hour, only to have the restaurant cancel it at the very last minute. If a kitchen is too busy to fulfill an order, they should communicate that immediately rather than leaving a customer waiting for hours with no food. This was a total waste of time and very poor service. I hope they improve their communication and order management because this was completely unacceptable.

We love this spot because they can do vegan dishes very well :) they even accommodate our requests for low oil as well. Last weekend we tried the veg thali (requested vegan) & it was so so good. Everything tasted great. Some highlights were the uttapam, rasam, and okra 🫶🏼

Wonderful South Indian dishes! A welcome addition to the Boston area. We loved the Chettinad curry and Alleppey curry. Looking forward to going for tiffin.

One of the best South Indian restaurants I’ve ever visited! From the moment you walk in, you can smell the rich spices and feel the warmth of authentic South Indian hospitality. Every dish tastes fresh, homemade, and perfectly balanced, just like traditional food from Tamil Nadu.
The flavors are bold yet comforting, the portions are generous, and the quality is consistently excellent. Whether you’re dining in, ordering takeout, or catering for a big event, this place never disappoints. The staff is friendly, professional, and always happy to explain dishes or customize spice levels.
This restaurant truly stands out for its authentic taste, cleanliness, and attention to detail. You can tell a lot of care and passion goes into every dish.

Was so pleased to find this spot. So delicious, so friendly. The tandoori vegetables were outstanding- not just any grilled vegetable dish. Heavenly flavors. We felt so taken care of. Will make it a point to dine in more. Highly recommend!

I took my friend who was celebrating her birthday to Shiva's for dinner. We had a fabulous meal and experience there. Betty had never tried Indian food before, and she was so pleased with our dinner. We began our meal with a large Dolce with a savory Potato fFlling. For our entrees Chicken Tika, Lamb Saag with Brown Rice, Yogurt with Cucumber, Herbs and Spices, and Garlic Naan Bread. Betty enjoyed a Mango Lasse as well for her beverage. We also had Chai Tea and a sweet desert called Gjalum. It was delicate fried balls in a sweet syrup..Betty had never tasted Indian food before and has raved to everyone how great the night was for celebrating a new year. We will be back. Thanks Shivas for such a special time.

Excellent place. Excellent food. We have been coming for dinner for some time and recently had a catering order. Very generous portions, really delicious food. This is a business run by people that truly care about their customers. Will keep going there.
Good Indian food with a South Indian touch. Friendly staff.

I ordered from Shiva's Kitchen on Door Dash - a Mysore Masala Dosa and Paneer Tikka Masala. I was so impressed by how delicious the food was and also how much food there was.
I often think that places skimp out on their delivery food (especially dosas, what is it about dosas that they make a bad delivery food?), but their dosa was INCREDIBLE. Just loaded with potato masala, and the masala was flavorful and varied with spices and other things.

Phenomenal Indian food- both North and South Indian were perfect. I have come here often and can vouch for most dishes- naan is top notch, chicken 65 was perfect, loved the tikka masala, Dosa was pretty good too.
