“Review for nirlep The first thing I told my wife after tasting the food at Nirlep was how much it reminded me of my mother’s cooking. I’m originally from Pakistan, and the balanced spices and familiar flavors took me right back to the meals I grew up eating. It felt like sitting down to dinner in someone’s home. When we moved to Charleston in 2019, Nirlep and A Taste of India were the two Indian restaurants we knew. It’s been wonderful to see how many options Charleston has today, and I’m especially happy to see this longtime West Ashley restaurant open again after three years of renovations. The dining room looks fresh, and the owners still give you the kind of warm, personal welcome that makes you feel at home. My wife and I ordered the Chef’s Special Dinner for Two, the non-vegetarian option. It was a great way to try a little of everything. We loved the lentil and chicken soups, the appetizers with chutney, and the main courses. The spices were balanced throughout the meal, so you could taste the different flavors in each dish. The chai and rasmalai were a perfect finish. I’d gladly bring friends and family here, especially anyone who grew up in India or Pakistan and misses the taste of a home-cooked meal. I’m glad Nirlep is back, and I’m already looking forward to our next dinner there.”
