    Shiva Indian Restaurant From the saag paneer to the rice pudding, this Rice Village spot and its Sugar Land cousin serve up some of the best vegetarian Indian food around.

    Our favorite place to enjoy Indian food. They have everything you can imagine on the menu, from sweet to savory to spicy. The staff is knowledgeable and friendly. If you ask for suggestions they'll bring you samples. If you've never had Indian food, this is the place to learn.
