Pure vegetarian Indian dishes served at Shiv Shakti Kathiyawadi Restaurant in downtown Hamilton, Ontario

Shiv Shakti Kathiyawadi Restaurant is part of a long-standing Kathiyawadi vegetarian dining tradition founded in Gujarat, India. Our downtown Hamilton kitchen keeps that tradition alive with bold garlic-and-chilli spicing, rustic sabzis, homestyle dal and freshly pressed bhakri — the kind of everyday Gujarati food families in Saurashtra grew up on. Everything we cook is pure vegetarian, generously portioned and priced for regular visits rather than special occasions only.

Our John Street South address puts us within a short walk of Gore Park, the Hamilton Farmers' Market, Hamilton City Hall, the Art Gallery of Hamilton and the Hamilton GO Centre, and only minutes from Corktown, Durand, Beasley and Stinson. That makes us an easy choice for a quick vegetarian lunch between meetings, a relaxed family dinner, a pre-show meal downtown, or affordable Indian vegetarian takeout on the way home.

From full Gujarati thalis to paneer favourites and cooling drinks, these are the plates downtown Hamilton guests order again and again.

Kathiyawadi Thali

Our signature set meal: two sabzis, dal, rice, phulka or bhakri, buttermilk, papad and salad. The most filling vegetarian thali in downtown Hamilton and a favourite fixed lunch for nearby offices.

Paneer Curries

Paneer Butter Masala, Paneer Tikka Masala, Paneer Lababdar and Paneer Tawa Masala — rich, slow-simmered gravies made to scoop up with naan, roti or jeera rice.

Gujarati Sabzi with Bhakri or Roti

Rustic, spice-forward vegetable curries served the Kathiyawadi way with hot rotis or bhakri, pickle and chutney. Comfort food for a cold Hamilton evening.

Dal Fry & Dal Tadka with Rice

Everyday homestyle dal finished with a sizzling tempering of ghee, cumin and garlic, paired with steamed rice. A light, budget-friendly vegetarian lunch downtown.

Chaas, Lassi & Cold Drinks

Spiced buttermilk (chaas), sweet and salted lassi, and our special Shiv Shakti lassi — the traditional way to cool down a plate of spicy Kathiyawadi food.

Vegetarian Starters

Paneer Tikka Dry, Veg Crispy, Vegetable 65, Masala Papad and fries to share before the thalis arrive — ideal for group dinners and student catch-ups.
