VIVA COCINA: Reviews & Ratings
Incredibly spicy Green Curry chicken with garlic naan and Jeera rice is what we had. It was very very good. Limca soda to wash it down (it was sort of like a carbonated lemonade). Anderson Fernandez took care of us. 10/10 and open LATE.
Wow! Just wow!! My first taste of butter chicken was on a cruise recently. Viva’s butter chicken far surpassed it. It was beyond delicious, and the cheesy naan bread was great and even better when used to scoop up the butter chicken sauce. The service was great, and the server even shared some Indian history along with history of the restaurant. I can’t way to return and try other Indian dishes.
Best goan food in taxes..Good service.amazing goan food.best goan music.
Was craving Indian food and decided to come check this place out! This is a must eat at!!! Everything from the food and the location is a plus! Inside was very clean and kept nice. Butter chicken and Tikka masala had a lot of flavors in it. I ordered the jeera rice and both was a great combo! The shw chicken lollipop was amazing!!! Soooo much flavor in it! I will def be coming back to try different dishes and go down the menu cuz it was just that delicious! If you're ever in the area, def go check it out!
Visited here for Goan vibes and Food... Anderson went an extra mile for his exceptional customer service !!! Food was flavorful ... quality and quantity is worth the price and the hype ! Overall it was a beautiful experience and great ambience ! Beef cutlet stole the show !!! (Ordered it twice)
We ate here straight after our flight into Houston as it was close to our hotel. The food was very nice and every dish was made fresh. The chicken tandoori was especially good. We were helped by Anderson who was kind and friendly to us during our visit. I would come back here again and would recommend people to give it here.
Very good food. The guy at the front is a good man. He helped me around the menu and also when I got to go box he even helped me pack the food. Only thing I would say is it’s a bit pricey and the portion of the garlic naan is small but other than that.
I’ve been coming here for a couple of months now. Food is AMAZING. So much flavor. The butter chicken is onnnn point along with the green chicken curry oh and for an added plus I have them customize my naan. It’s the bullet naan but have to add the garlic and cheese! U won’t regret it. Here is a picture of my takeout. Highly recommend.
