If there’s an option for zero stars I would’ve given it. Horrible food and ambience. I ordered Tandoori Chicken and it was just bland and hard. And then I ordered a gravy which was just water. Overall horrible food quality and on top of it poor customer service. I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone.

Been many times. Always excellent! A huge variety of Indian food delights to satisfy anyone's tastes.

Wonderful value and wonderful food. On a cute little street with outdoor seating! Very nice staff. Have already been back multiple times!

rarely write reviews, but our experience here was bad enough that I feel it’s worth sharing.

From the start, the service was unwelcoming. We were given a choice of outdoor tables, but when I tried to grab a chair from one of the many empty tables nearby, I was stopped by staff and told no. My friend, who needed more space to sit comfortably, moved his chair to the other side of our table and was given unnecessary grief about it. This would have been understandable if the patio were full, but there were only two parties (ours included) seated outside.

The issues didn’t stop there. In the middle of our meal, my friend asked for more rice. Instead of simply bringing out a fresh serving, the waiter insisted we first scrape out the remaining rice so he could reuse the empty pot—he even wanted us to reuse the same spoon. It felt bizarre and uncomfortable, and honestly not what you expect from a restaurant.

Between the nitpicking over empty seating, the lack of flexibility, and the strange approach to service, the whole experience was frustrating. The food itself was fine, but the way we were treated overshadowed it completely. Definitely not a place I’d return to or recommend.

Food was better than the service, but that’s not saying much because I’ve had better Indian from Trader Joe’s frozen food aisle.

We recently had Nirvana cater for our son’s/daughter's birthday party, and the experience was incredible. From the moment the food arrived, we knew we were in for something special. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented.

Our guests enjoyed the food—each dish was a hit! The team was professional, punctual, and made the entire process stress-free. They truly helped elevate our celebration.

Highly recommend Nirvana for any event—top-notch service and even better food!

WOW! Great variety on this menu and everything we tried was excellent and plentiful - all 3 of us ended taking doggie bags home!

I got a lunch platter, good deal and the food was tasty. Staff was warm and welcoming. Overall recommended!

Best Indian food ever. My daughter ordered the meat samosas and I ordered the cheese Dosa. Both were amazing and the staff was super kind. It was really easy to find a non-spicy, vegetarian dish for me, as well as non-spicy non-pork delicious option for my daughter.

The food is delicious, but one cup of hot tea with a Lipton teabag was $5.00. Buyer beware.

The vegetarian food was very good and tasty

I really like nirvana. Their lamb biryani is my favorite but unfortunately it was ruined for me one time I ordered takeout I bit down really hard on a piece of metal. Ouch, now I’m paranoid eating it
