Walking Tour: West University’s Rice Village

Just a few hundred feet away from Thai Village Restaurant is another satisfying place to dine: Shiva Indian Restaurant. Now, in the interest of honesty, I’ve never been a big Indian food guy, but this place was unexpectedly pleasing to visit. And it turns out, I’m not the only person to think so. Shiva has won all kinds of restaurant awards, including those from the Houston Press (Best Vegetarian, Best Indian, Reader’s Choice, etc), the Houston Chronicle (Ultimate Indian Restaurant), Citysearch.com, and Yelp.com. Give the Boti Kebab Shahnaz a try. You’ll have a considerably better time eating it than you will trying to pronounce it.
