The Panir Tikka and Chicken Tikka were the best I've had in Cincinnati. The roast from their Tandoor oven is perfect: lots of flavors, tender & juicy,
Karahai Tandoori Chicken Saag is a truly elevated and delightful spin on Chicken Tikka Saag that you typically find in Indian restaurants. Dal Makhani was wonderful as well.
Tried Viva for the first time today, and it's on the top of my go-to Indian restaurants moving forward. Absolutely recommend it to anyone who wants to have an elevated taste experience from an Indian restaurant in Cincinnati.

Pretty good if you can get it discounted. Doesnt compare to other Indian restaurants. I had grissel in my chicken, and the broth was more watery than im used to . The naan was ok. If im craving good Indian food id likely go somewhere else but overall it was okay.

Prepare your taste buds! Overall, my experience was nothing short of magical. The food was exquisite, the service was impeccable, and the atmosphere was warm and inviting. It's clear that the chefs at Viva India take great pride in their craft, and their passion for authentic Indian cuisine shines through in every dish.
I strongly recommend the Tikka Masala (lvl 6 if you like it on the spicey side) and the chicken Curry . I also recommend ordering the Pakora as an appy. And don't forget the Mango Lassi to wash it all down with (if you're a fruit smoothie fan, you will love this). Sweet and refreshing with every sip!
I can't wait to come back and explore more of their menu, because one visit is simply not enough!

The tikka masala and matar paneer were delicious! I was worried because they had great prices which doesn't always equal great food, but the food was amazing! Also best Mango Lassi! The naan was amazing too! Everything was perfect! 10/10!

The CHANA SAG was absolutely incredible. I got the vegan version, and it was so flavorful. I love spice, so i got the level 6, and it was perfect. Not too overwhelming, but certainly spicy enough to be satisfying. Veggie SAMOSA VEGETABLE (TWO) were great too!
