    Shahi Paneer MoMo
    Divyashree R.

    It's a small place. Good for take out. The front desk was helpful. The food was good but not very great. But can stop by for a quick momo craving in the area.

    Paneer Tikka Masala & Navaratan Korma

    Naan, fries & Noodles were great, but did not enjoy any of the curries or momos. Very nicely maintained and very friendly , kind staff.

    Spicy Peppered Tenders, Carrot Cake, Chicken Tikka Masala

    LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE their tikka masala hands down best chicken tikka masala i've ever had it's a sweet creamy savory meal. perfect amount of sauce to put on ur rice. Perfect hangover cure in the morning too. Their carrot cake is nice and moist and on the denser side. The icing is more of a cream cheese base. NOOO THERES RAISINS IN THE CARROT CAKE UGH. Still good but ugh disappointment. The pepper chicken was seasoned well and the onion and green peppers add that extra taste.

    I don't understand why food shines does not immediately come up as Lowell's best hidden gem. Come in get the MOMO dumplings and enjoy what has to be one of the most addictive and flavor packed dishes this town has to offer. My personal favorite is the Tikkka Masala Mo Mo with a side of garlic naan bread, all absolutely delicious and fresh.

    Momo in spinach sauce

    Loved the momos! Great, very friendly atmosphere. Delicious and fresh food. Great garlic knots( more like garlic bread) but very delicious! Spicy, but not too spicy. Loved it!

    10 cubes of chicken. Ten. Its like 3 ounces of chicken.

    Food is DELICIOUS but oh my god the portion size is small. Chicken Tikka Masada was $18 and it was 10 cubes of chicken, like three ounces of meat total, and the rest of the container was just sauce. See pictures below.

    Shiv Shakti Chaat & Paan Adda is a casual Indian eatery and bakery located next to Veggie Crust in…read moreLowell, former Atul Bakery/Honey Dew Donuts space. They offer a selection of Indian street foods, sandwiches, chaats, paan, pizza, cakes, desserts, lassis, cold drinks, and Indian snacks on the shelves. They also offer live Pani Puri service. The place is order & pay at the counter and there is table seating inside. I stopped by Shiv Shakti recently for carryout. I was going order a samosa chaat, but then I saw other customers (dine-in) enjoying live Pani Puri, which a staff member was freshly preparing those bite size spicy apps in the dining area. I decided to order Pani Puri (10 for $9.99 plus tax), but instead got the ingredients to go, so I could enjoy the DIY version at home. The ingredients were packaged and bagged up, including 10 crispy fried balls (shells), curry potato filling mixture, tamarind, & spicy flavored water. When I got home, I began making my own pani puri one-by-one, filling each bite size crispy ball with the filling and adding the tamarind & flavored water and eating each savory spicy pani puri in one bite. I finished all 10 pani puris in about 10 minutes, but it was a bit messy to eat. I had some extra filling, water & tamarind left over, which I ended up using as a dip for the tortilla chips I already had on hand. I will come back again for a sandwich and a chaat.

But, all were delicious and two bowls of basmati rice were included and delicious as well. I wasn't a fan of the chai I ordered. The service was friendly but kind of lingered around since not as many customers. There was a bathroom smell right when we entered the restaurant, because the bathrooms are positioned right at the bottom of the stairs when you walk in the building. But, besides that the food was pretty good. I wouldn't say this is an authentic Indian restaurant destination. But, I'd come back here again to try the Indian buffet out since cheaper than eating dinner à la carte.

So we just ordered the lunch menu and ordered a mini buffet for ourselves. Ordered the onion pakora as an appetizer. For some reason I thought it was going to come with some sort of sauce. So it was a little dry. I just ended up dipping it in the malai kofta for more flavor. We ordered 1 veggie, 1 chicken, and 1 lamb lunch combo. Which it came with white rice, soup, and naan or a roti. The veggie option was the malai kofta. (I liked this one the best, bc it was sweet) . It's vegetable cheese dumplings in a cashew sauce. the chicken option was the priya chicken special. (Second best) This was good. It was saucy. and then we got the lamb masala. This one was more on the tomato-sour side. I like more of a creamy sauces. These dishes weren't as spicy. It was just a hint of it. Waiters were really nice and informative about the menu.

    Came here for their street food night…read more Both the price and food were unbelievable. The servers were very friendly and the service was great. The only not great thing was the amount of patrons. This place deserves more customers. The pani puri was fantastic. All the specials on the buffet that night were great as well. Constantly hearing people say you cant eat out for less than 80 bucks for 2 people. We ate til we were stuffed tried multitudes of dishes and left with a check for less than 50 including 20% tip.

    One of the worst dining experiences I've had. I live in New Hampshire and visited this restaurant…read morefor the first time, and unfortunately, I was extremely disappointed with the buffet. They charge around $25 per person, but the quality of the food was nowhere near what I would expect for that price. Many of the dishes tasted stale or as though they had been sitting out for a long time. The food wasn't hot--or even properly warm--and almost every item I tried was disappointing. For $25, customers should at least be able to expect fresh, properly prepared, hot food. I really don't understand the positive reviews for the buffet based on my experience. I can't comment on their à la carte menu because I didn't try it, but I personally would not recommend the buffet. I hope the restaurant takes customer feedback seriously and improves the freshness, temperature, and overall quality of the food.
