Shiva — Restaurant in Prachuap Khiri Khan Province

Considering how many great reviews I’d say that either expats are too far removed from their homeland Indian food or the reviewers haven’t enjoyed great Indian food.

Best part was the lamb samosa which had lamb meat instead of ground lamb. Everything else looks like what we ordered but tasted like they forgot to add a few spices. Chicken listed as butter chicken is flavorless and the chicken is way too dry. Not even close.

Lamb dish; they have 8 choices including a few we didn’t recognize. Asked what was least spicy and they recommended Balti which is suppose to be tomato based and quite flavorful. Very bland sauce. No recognizable Indian spices bit still spicy despite being told it wasn’t.

Garlic naan tastes like that artificial butter I described earlier and also no real hint of fresh baked garlic. Very disappointing. Even worse is the saffron rice. Looks like Rice a Roni but takes like nothing at all.

At over 1000 Baht the meal is overpriced for Thailand and especially Hua Hin. The owner wears a white collar shirt and tie and they put red carpets out which gives it a cheesy look. Overall not the worst Indian we’ve ever had but probably the most average meal we’ve had in Hua Hin so far. Very overrated in our opinion. Disclaimer; we are North American and almost always universally disagree with Europeans about all ethnic...

This very stylish restaurant is a little tucked away, but well worth the trip. On arrival you are greeted by lush, beautiful gardens. There are tables there or you can eat inside, which is furnished with quality furniture. I ate a delicious meal outside, with a fan provided. My lamb samosa was the best I have had in 50 years of eating Indian food, 2 pieces stuffed with tasty meat in light pastry. My mutton bhuna was very good, again plenty of tender, lean, meat. The vegetable biriani a good accompaniment. My perswari nan was a little disappointing, and I left most. I appreciate different countries, areas can have different versions of the same dish. This nan came with lots of nuts, but no discernable fruit e.g. the sultanas I look forward to, or coconut. Service was welcoming, and prompt. Good selection of beers, but looks like Indian beer no longer on menu? Looking forward to my next visit. Think this would be an excellent choice for a couple looking for a super meal in a very attractive,...

We visited on a Saturday in the early afternoon for a late lunch. Our party of three adults and three children were the only customers. The owner was very friendly and helpful explaining the menu items. We ordered the Lamb Samosas, grilled chicken pieces, some fried rice, butter chicken masala curry, mutton vindaloo curry and a spinach/cottage cheese curry along with garlic naan, roti and another bread item that I cannot remember. The flavor and quality of the food was pretty good. The portions were a decent size, but the price point seems a bit higher than average. Seating is outdoors and there are mosquitos in the early afternoon. Luckily, on the day we were there, the breeze kept the mosquitos mostly away. All in all, our experience was pretty good. Note: My daughter wanted a sweet roti for dessert and even though it is not a menu item, they...
