The food and drinks were delicious! The meals came with naan and raita but they will make it vegan by subbing hummus. And the hummus is homemade and goes really well with the naan and dish.

The seating is all outdoor. Tables had rice stuck to them. We ordered a floral drink that had a number of things floating in it. It was interesting. The food came out in about 20 minutes and was lukewarm at best. The flavor was okay. The Naan was greasy and stale. All things are served on paper plates with plastic cutlery.

This locally owned family business has delicious food and the best service. We love stopping in on our trip from Colorado to Rapid City.

I stopped by here on a road trip after reading online that this was some of the best food in the area (& one person said best food of their life!). Happy to say, Silk Road did not disappoint! The owners are so kind and friendly to talk with. They are very generous and clearly passionate about the food they serve. After being on the road eating burgers and fried food for days, this was such a pleasant treat. The food was incredible, I had the lamb masala, fresh out of the smoker. And the Rose & White Lily drink took me by surprise how much I enjoyed it. The next time I’m in Hot Springs, SD I’m definitely eating here more than once! Cannot recommend this place enough!

The food was SO good. I got the smoked chicken and I could eat it every day of the week. The rice, naan, and sauce were incredible! Also the staff were super friendly and there was an adorable cat that is worth mentioning! Such a great surprising find in Hot Springs. Can’t wait to return!

This is our favorite place to eat in Hot Springs! The food is phenomenal, whether you're having lunch or dinner. The atmosphere is fun, and we enjoy the live music on Saturday nights during the summer season. And the smoked lamb ... and the chicken ... the naan ... I could go on and on.

Food is excellent. The garlic naan bread is tasty.
Be prepared to wait for food to be prepared, often from scratch. Outdoor seating only located.between two brick walls of adjacent buildings. The wait can be hot!

This place is no joke. Hands down the best place to eat in the whole town. Authentic and healthy deliciousness served up by friendly, gracious hosts. This place is a must visit in the Black Hills.

Dietary restrictions: We are typically gluten free (sensitivity), but had to try the naan because it smelled so dang good. Turns out the naan flour is shipped from Pakistan and doesn’t affect us like the usual American flour. We can eat this to our hearts content without any funky side effects. Best naan I’ve had!

I've been eating nothing but gas station burritos and redbulls, working 14 hour days. I finally had a day off today and decided I wanted something nourishing to consume. When I tell you I felt like a newborn baby fresh out of the womb crying because I got to feel and smell life again eating the smoked lamb, I'm not even exaggerating. I would sell my left testicle to buy a litter of lamb, just to bring to Farrukh & Merri to cook. I will always recommend the silk road.
