Absolutely delicious food! I had the saag paneer, chicken tika and garlic naan. All three items were top notch. I would recommend this to anyone looking for some of the most quality Indian food in NJ!

​As an Indian family looking for traditional flavors, we were disappointed. While the starters and fried rice were okay, the Rogan Josh and Nirvana Biryani lacked any authentic taste or aroma. It felt overpriced for the quality provided. This is our personal view based on our experience.

Had a wonderful dinner at Nirvana — the Papdi Chaat was fresh and flavorful, and the Lamb Korma was incredibly tender and rich. Paired with garlic naan, everything was excellent. Great service and warm ambience. Highly recommend.
