Shivalli - Menu

We had the lunch buffet--small selection but delicious, reasonably priced, with rounds of dosa and purisAll vegetarian.

If you want to eat good Indian food while being vegetarian, this is the place to be!!! Not to mention their 5£ buffet, definitely try this place out if

This must have been one of the most bizarre restaurant experiences. The food was good ish but staff just bizarre : from forcing food and drinks onto us to not bringing water at the table.

Visited this restaurant today. I cannot recommend it highly enough. I never post reviews but was compelled by the quality of the food. Ridiculously tasty lunchtime Thali at a rudiculously cheap price. Subtlety of spicing was superb. We were so impressed we bough extra snacks for the long drive back to Cornwall. We scoffed this when we got home. If only we had shivalli in Cornwall. Thankyou for a great lunch. Rob

We enjoyed the food and service a great deal. Family run with husband in the kitchen and wife and son at the front of house. Wife extremely cheerful and hospitable. Food was exceptional with its subtle flavours, we are not vegetarians but the food was very tasty and filling. We had the dosai, poori, aubergine curry and a thali set. The pudding, squashed pineapple with cashew nuts was to die for. Highly recommended!

Used to enjoy going to this place and it was always full however this place is no longer busy. Because They have removed their lunch time buffet, prices are higher, portions are smaller desert chocolate dosas were even smaller than a kids dosa and there was almost no chocolate inside for the same price you can get a proper desert in other restaurants). Worst of all they put a 10% service charge on the bill without mentioning it anywhere in the restaurant or the menu. Will not be visiting again

I’ve always loved South Indian food so this was a great find a spicy sev chat to start while Jenny had some crispy vegetable spring rolls, and then both of us had crispy dosas. Jenny opted for the traditional spicy and fluffy potato filling, while I had a folded dosa filled with mashed paneer and a mildly spiced mix of vegetables. We washed all that down with mango and salted lassi. The food is delicious and not expensive, the service was quick, the decor is part cafe style and strongly reminiscent of places we’ve visited in southern India, and the restaurant’s popularity spoke volumes. A real treat :

We went for a birthday dinner, none of the old staff, I think it has been taken over. the restaurant was very very quiet which was strange, not even takeaway going out. The food came cold, they did not even ask if everything was ok. We got no water , Drinks came late. Wehad to ask for serviettes this was rationed, they use to have quality serviette now cheap tissues, 3 serviettes on a table of 6?? Also we had a 10% tip added to our bill, this was not even asked , it was enforced. The staff did not really talk to any customers, it was quiet awkward at times. The place has lost its charisma. I use to go a lot , but this was my last visit.

On Saturday we drove over to Leicester which is our go to city for Indian food. Its nearly an hour from us, and again we were not disappointed. We take it in turns, with friends, a few times a year to pick our places to eat. Our friends on this occasion chose Shivalli, located just off the city centre. The staff were helpful, friendly and full of smiles. We always ask a lot of questions when it comes to ordering. We want different taste experiences, and here we got we what we wanted, with the help of the ladies who took our orders and bought our food. We always pick a selection of dishes and share everything so we all get to try each dish. We chose a selection of starters and then when finis...
