Nirvanis Indian Kitchen

Avoid at All Costs – Horrendous Experience at Nirvana Indian Kitchen

Absolutely the worst dining experience I've ever had. Nirvana Indian Kitchen served spoiled food that was not just disappointing, but unsafe and completely inedible. The mango lassi tasted sour and off, clearly spoiled, and the channa wrap was stale, soggy, and borderline rotten. It’s shocking how a place can get Indian cuisine so wrong.

On top of that, the cleanliness was nonexistent — dirty floors, messy tables, and a general lack of hygiene that makes you question how this place is even operational. The service was indifferent at best, with no regard for customer satisfaction or food quality.

This place is a health hazard, not a restaurant. Never coming back and strongly urge others to stay far away. If you value your time, money, and stomach, do yourself a favor and avoid Nirvana Indian Kitchen completely.

Ordered delivery for the first time from here and it was DELICIOUS! I was impressed that they had food clearly labeled vegan and vegetarian which to me means they know the difference which is always a plus. My only critique is I ordered through DoorDash and I wasn’t able to write any notes so couldn’t ask for no butter on the roti. I called the restaurant to ask and the gentleman was very nice and accommodating on the phone. Everything I ordered was so well seasoned and flavorful. I can not recommend this place enough

WORST EXPERIENCE!! Had ordered a VEG kati roll and was served a CHICKEN kati roll. Pathetic management and horrible mistake. I'm never going there again or recommending this place to anyone ever. Only four customers in the restaurant yet made such a huge mistake.

This place is an absolute disaster and a disgrace to Indian cuisine. I ordered two frankies specifically requesting NO ONIONS and NO GARLIC—not once, but I said it TWICE to make sure they got it right. The girl at the front desk nodded and said, “Yeah, we can do that,” like it was no big deal. Spoiler alert: they couldn’t. It took a ridiculous 45 MINUTES for a simple pickup order. I was standing there, watching the clock tick, wondering if they were growing the ingredients from scratch in the back.

While I waited, the owner oh, let me tell you about this guy was holding court in the middle of the restaurant, puffing on his vape like he’s auditioning for a low-budget gangster movie. Clouds of vapor were literally wafting through the dining area, making the already grimy place feel like a cheap hookah lounge. He was chatting up two Rutgers girls he probably hired, trying way too hard to impress them with his “big shot” attitude, name-dropping and acting like he owns half of New Brunswick. Vaping indoors while customers are waiting for food is not a flex it’s disgusting, unprofessional and probably illegal. The whole place reeked of his vape juice and bad decisions.

To make matters worse the owner was right there when I placed my order. He heard me emphasize no onions or garlic yet apparently that information never made it to the kitchen. Or maybe they just didn’t care. Either way I finally get my food after what felt like an eternity drag myself home and open the bag to find my frankies LOADED with onions and garlic. Like they didn’t just miss the memo they shredded it set it on fire, and sprinkled extra onions on top for good measure. It was like they went out of their way to mess it up. I literally had to throw it away.

Oh and get this: the owner had the audacity to tell me that if I left a Google review, I’d get FREE fries. Are you kidding me? I don’t want your sad, greasy fries as a bribe for fake praise. That’s not customer service that’s sleazy, manipulative marketing straight out of a con artist’s playbook. I’m not here to prop up your ego or your failing business with a five-star lie. This isn’t Yelp extortion, pal—fix your damn restaurant.

The restaurant itself? Filthy. The tables looked like they hadn’t been wiped down since the Reagan administration and the overall vibe screamed “we stopped caring years ago.” Between the owner’s vape clouds, the glacial service and the complete disregard for my order this was hands-down one of the worst dining experiences I’ve ever had. Nirvanis isn’t just a letdown it’s a public health hazard masquerading as a restaurant. Save your money, your time, and your taste buds—go literally anywhere else but DO NOT GO HERE PLEASE!!!
