SS is open again, but beware new prices........A dish of 170 Bhat is now 220 Bhat.......
yikes!
does the work done on the interior justify (in your opinion) the price hike? It was very bland and functional inside, is it better now? Do they still have those horrible uncomfortable tables and chairs outside?
I preferred Shiva for dining in and S&S for takeaway but a price hike of 30% is a LOT so I think Shiva will get all my custom unless S&S have somehow transformed the inside to look wow. (which I doubt is even possible)

Interior is much better and larger, outside also, but even with those improvements such a hike is a shame, 15% would be acceptable.
For me, although the ambiance is a plus factor, the main criteria is the food, which is why I am happy with Shiva - good food in a lovely setting. If I have been to S&S before, it’s a long time ago, so I can’t comment on the food - Shiva is not the cheapest but IMO offers good value for money.

Anybody know if "Shiva" Indian restaurant is still open? Thanks.
Didn't stop, so not sure if it is closed. BUT, there is a big sign up in the carpark stating: "For Sale or Rent". I was there about 3 months ago and the old gentleman was complaining about no customers and said he was thinking seriously about moving back to India.
Migrant: this is the place I was referring to earlier.

Are you sure you're talking about Shiva? I go there regularly, and I daren't go without booking - it has been like that for about a year. He recently did a massive refurb for my son's wedding. We, as regulars have even been turned away twice this year because they just couldn't squeeze us in.

The last time that I was there, I think it was a Tuesday night, there was ONE other customer. I am at the Hua Hin Terminal just now and drove past there today. Not intending to go there tonight.

The proper function of man is to live, not to exist. I shall not waste my days in trying to prolong them. I shall use my time.

Yes, we're definitely talking about the same place. I've not been for about 3 weeks, and that was a Tuesday (Tuesday or Saturday are the best days for us to visit). The owner always complains to me - ever since I wrote a review on Trip Advisor, he says they've been busy every night. True or not, I don't know, but everytime we go it is heaving.
I don't think the land outside is owned by him, although he had a large area cleared for the wedding.

There something like 40 rai outside of my front door also - I often refer to it as the jungle. That is available for up to 20 year lease - I can't understand why anybody would want to lease that either. Access is via a very small road also.
