Nirvana The Taste of India

Some of the food was good and some of it less so. I enjoyed a mushroom Samosa which was unusual and tasty, but I had one of their “house specials” which was mushy and uninspired. The drinks are good. The bench seating is a little uncomfortable. Your mileage may vary, but I prefer the Indian restaurants in Central Square.

Food was great but the portions for the dish I ordered (chicken tikka masala) were very small, especially given the price. I had to go elsewhere for a full meal afterwards.

We had a phenomenal lunch today. Food prepared perfectly. Excellent service. Great value for the $$. Can't wait to go back!

This is the best Indian restaurant in Cambridge and I don't say that lightly! It has been there for 7 years and has been consistently wonderful! I go there as often as I can!

Came here at 9:40 today. Upon asking for a table for two, the waiter suggested that we should rather order for take-away, as the restaurant would close at 10:00. We assured that we would do our best to eat quickly and were directed to a table. We were instructed to order immediately, which we did. Our food arrived at 9:52. 5 minutes later, when I was just in the midst of having my Shahi Paneer Korma, we were presented with the bill. Only 2 minutes later, my plate was still half full, the waiter asked if we wanted a box in order to take away the food that we weren’t able to eat within these 8 minutes. Hence, we had no other choice than to leave the restaurant with half of our food and a lot of frustration.

All your food reviews aside, if the staff is not polite, there is literally no point of visiting Nirvana. The host should perhaps take a lesson in etiquette before anyone else decides to go here. Supremely disappointed to cross off one of the better indian food places from my list- in order to protect and preserve my own dignity, and the ones that accompany me for dinner. Do better, Nirvana

We ordered masala dosa online and the taste was not good as when ordered previously through relish at work. There seems a large difference in taste and quality of serving.

The food here started out tasting great, but last 2 times I had it delivered the food was refried, instead of fresh, was missing items, and even the lettuce was brown, in places. The chutney was watered down and the chicken extremely dry. It was a lot better place to eat when the pride was shown in the food, instead of making it like a fast food restaurant and putting profits over quality. Will be a while, if ever, I order from here again.

Lunch deal was great!

They serve good Indian food with probably lowest price around that area (Cambridge). I love the way they greet and nicely packed the food.

Vegetarian options: You will get many vegetarian options.

Great food… they have so many options vegetarian, omnivore, pescatarian, you will find something you fancy there. I tried their samosa’s and they are the best I've had. The curry is perfectly spiced a-swell and you can adjust the sweet to spicy ratio with their chutneys. I highly recommend checking them out if you’re looking to dine in or take out… the staff is also super friendly and has great service. I love everyone there!
