Nirvanis Indian Kitchen

The food can be said to be decent as far as outside restaurant food is concerned versus the home cooked meal like my mother cooks at home. I ate Paneer and Rice platter and also not too much salad like someone before me on Google review I saw complained which is different from the platter I ordered. On March 17th, 2025 when I went there the young boy that served me was nice and moral and ethical in his behavior to serve me. This older gentleman his name Mitikesh G who made my receipt on March 19th,2025. But when I ordered the paneer Tikka platter on the menu it said $14.50 but he is saying it is $15.50. Then I pointed him out in the menu and he pointed to the small print *prices subject to change at any time without notice* on the digital board like that. I can understand if printing updated paper menu is hard as I am thinking about it while composing the text on the Google review page. But on the digital board they should have the updated price. But anyways they should not change the price like that. Indian restaurants seemed expensive anywhere I go in New Jersey and seemed like this restaurant was cheaper than most of the Indian restaurants I remember going to ever in memory in the last couple of years. I went to this place because it was open till 3 am as the subway at Edison New Jersey was closing at 11 pm and usually my mother has advised not to go closing time as the food is bad as closing and I have experienced that myself even after my mother telling me me that. But because I had to or felt like I had to based on my situation and circumstances I still did as I needed to eat. Like seriously having bad qualities and taking advantage of a system in a bad way it is not good to make profit cheating and giving people bad experience and bringing people down when they are going to eat as they or I are going for a good relaxed and enjoyable experience as good and anything related to food is supposed to make you feel good and joyful. And to add insult to injury when I am asking for green chutney and mithi chutney the guy is asking me 65 cents versus when that hit served me the first time I went on March 17th,2025 and he gave me the green chutney and mithi chutney without any questions and without exchanging like this guy did as I told him that the young boy gave me these chutneys and all as I did not like so he literally really took all these chutneys and exchanged with me. And i needed lemon wedges wedges and i wanted to ask just like I do in other Indian restaurants but hesitant and fearful and me fearing that it will be an unpleasant experience where I will get hurt and feel down by this guy would want to charge me for lemon wedges just like he wanted to do so for the chutneys. But I just took great courage and asked lemon and he gave me one line wedge and I left it at that as I don't want to have an unpleasant experience and hurt where this guy will want to charge me if I ask for extra like or lemon wedges. So I took the one and squeezed as hard and made do in one lemon wedges instead of more lemon wedges. Anyways I would not recommend eating here eating here and besides I am having acidity. The best Indian food is the one that is cooked at home like how my mother makes it where the spices are balanced and not too spicy. Besides I would not even recommend eating outside in a restaurant outside home. It is best to eat home cooked food as it is fresh and healthy whether it be Indian or any other vegetarian cuisine as vegetarian cuisines or lacto-vegetarian cuisines without meat, fish and eggs are the best and healthiest and more so cooked at home.

Pretty avg, I've been there after some reference on the awesome roll. In the evening, we planned it was bogo on platter, so got Achaari chicken roll, chicken platter, and lamb platter.
While having it, i was a little disappointed with the Achaari taste. It's not so good. From the platter, I'm not sure why the regular rice was a little less cooked. Wish to have the long grain or properly cooked rice. Salad on the side was pretty less. Of course, bogo is justified based on the quality and quantity, nothing great.

I’m giving this restaurant 2 stars because of the portions. I’ve ordered their chicken tiki masala many times. I order mild for myself and spicy for my son. Every single time, my order has half as much chicken as my sons order. The inconsistency in the portions is ridiculous. The food is good, but it doesn’t make sense that I would get half as much chicken in my order, even though it’s the same as my sons, just a different level of spice. For as much as they charge, I should get a good amount of chicken. I will update my review lol if management replies or I go back and the portions have changed.
