Many years I have been going to this restaurant! The food is excellent. The waitress, Bhawana, is very gracious, attentive, friendly and remembers what has been ordered from previous visits. She doesn't rush the process; has an ease with serving and does so with a most beautiful smile.

We had an amazing dinner at Nivana in Lafayette Hill! The chicken tiki masala was outstanding. The nan and appetizers were fantastic. Such a nice size portion with friendly service. We will definitely be back. Great job!
