My family had loved Shiva for more than 20 years! We miss their Rice Village location but are happy to be able to enjoy the same great meals at amazing prices at their Buffalo Speedway location.

Me and my wife is here today. it was great! Absolutely delicious food! All the menu items we got we would definitely recommend! Excellent service from our server - super attentive, kind, and patient! 100% will be returning soon!

4.5 stars. Excellent food, good portion sizes, and everything was so neatly packed in my order. The only reason I took off 0.5 stars was because there were no forks.

The lamb (naan?) was AMAZING
