Shivam Restaurant

I met with one of the owners at his restaurant and he duly pressured me to write a glowing review (which might account for some of the excellent reviews already posted). So I'd take many of the 5 star reviews with a pinch of salt. Here's the honest one. It's a decent place for a snack or a meal. Not outstanding by any means and a place to go to when faced with a dearth of options. It's average at best. I had samosas and tea. There are better options on the same street.

Food: The food was delicious, well flavoured and not the extremely spicy. We tried the puri bhaji and the bhaji was a little bland but we added a bit of salt and it was good to go. I got their dal batti churma as a takeaway and the dal was delicious, however the bati was a little different and more doughy than I’m used to but it was still delicious. The churma however had more sugar than wheat so that could do with improvement. The star was definitely the gatta Sabzi which was extremely delicious. The dahi puri was also delicious. Overall, we were satisfied and would definitely eat there again. They have a wide variety from Mexican, Italian to the normal North Indian and Indo Chinese and being a vegetarian restaurant, it provides great variety to vegetarians. Service: This wasn’t great as the staff who attended us was a bit rude. He kept on insisting that we should order more puris (we got 4 to share between 2 ladies) but we know how we can eat. The dahi puri was the last thing to come and i had forgotten that we’d ordered it so I said this is not ours and he said “this one ordered” referring to my friend. My friend was very shocked and I feel more training should be given to staff so they know how to refer to people. I don’t think that’s a very nice way to refer to your customers. Ambience - It’s not a fancy place and as it was the weekend, it was quite packed and a bit stuffy. However, we didn’t mind as the food made up for it.

Been to Shivam Restaurant in Little India, Singapore recently! They offer a diverse selection of dishes- North Indian, Gujarati, Italian, Mexican and Indo-Chinese cuisines which is quite difficult to find at ONE PLACE! They even offer JAIN and VEGAN options 😯 Staff was friendly, can even understand and speak HINDI if needed and the service was super quick. Dishes were reasonably priced and the portions were just right! 👍 My favourite was undoubtedly The CHAAT PLATTER among what all we ordered.
