Nirvana The Flavors of India

GREATNESS

So i was refered to this restaurant by many friends who had visit there quite often. So i decided to try it out. We got there a little in the evening and were seated right away. We were asked in about 10-15 minutes what drinks we would like. we still needed more time cause the menu was so long. the wait staff was really nice and even joked about their upcoming menus and that they are gonna be bit longer. we ordered the indian beer cheetah and 2 of their coctails. The paan martini and mango martini were very good. unlike the other comments below i kind of understand why they take their time or sometimes stay away ad dont come up often so that we can enjoy the delacies in piece and not be interuppted every 15 mins. at first we wanted to order just the sizzlers with naan but were told it has no gravy and is dry which we did not knew and was glad that we were told otherwise we'd have trouble. We enjoyed our fish cutlets, noorani seekh for appetizers. we then orderd the chicken parwana which was told by the waiter that it is a little dry and that if we perfer more gravy to take the butter chicken or chicken shai korma. I enjoyed there paneer tikka massala. also with little gravy but still decided to order it which was so mouthwatering. We ordered an onion naan, cheese naan and aloo parantha all very delish. Although their desserts are limited we had the gulab jamuns and a mango cheescake. I loved the feel of the restaurrant and i will even enjoy taking my work mates there for a party. They have a sepearte room for small events. Everyone should go and enjoy it. People have different expectations and these reviews may be up or down. But once you experience it yourself you will be happy. :)

Disappointing...

**I find it interesting that many of the positive 'rave' reviews are from accounts with no more than one review...Hmmmmm...** My husband and I went to Nirvana last week for dinner. Upon arrival, the restaurant wasn't very busy at all. Our waiter took approximately 10 minutes to come and take our drink order (yes I timed him...after 5 minutes I start to check my watch). The cocktails were ridiculously overpriced so we ordered some soft drinks. He brought our drinks and did not even ask us if we decided on our order - instead he hurried off. The soft drinks were stale, so we decided to advise the waiter and just ask for water instead. After another 5 minutes the waiter returned to finally take our order, and return the drinks. The food was "okay". We ordered Hot & Sour soup, Chicken Biriyani, Chicken Karahi, Stuffed Naan, and Lachhe dar parantha. The hot & sour soup was WAY too spicy. We love spicy food but the soup was ridiculous. Our water was gone in a few minutes, and we didn't get a refill. It was an uncomfortable meal. Yes they serve the Chicken Biriyani in a cute little pot that is covered with a piece of naan, but it's not that great. I'm not Indian and I have made much better Chicken Biriyani at home from scratch. When I started to scoop out the biriyani, much of the rice was still white. As for the Chicken Karahi, honestly.........it tasted like something from a jar of President's Choice Indian Cuisine. When we got our bill, the waiter tried to keep the soft drinks on there that we had returned. He had to "speak to his manager" about whether or not he could take it off. We will not be returning to Nirvana! It seems they spend more time trying to create an "atmosphere" than paying attention to customer service or the quality of their food.

Amazing flavour. A true taste of India

Nirvana is a must if you love Indian food. Friendly staff will escort you to your table and take your order. While you wait you enjoy a pleasant atmosphere. And then the food arrives. Now, as Indian food lovers know there are many ways a potentially great meal can be ruined. The food can be too spicy, or too cold. The meal can lack flavour. But at Nirvana, none of these scenarios manifest themselves. The food is set down in front of you, steam rising off of it as you dig your spoon in to put some on your plate. Then you take a bite. Close your eyes, chew slowly, and allow the flavours to dance across your tongue as you realize that this is the best Indian food you have ever had. Swallow. Open your eyes and look around the table. Observe everyone's reaction to the food. Then take the next bite. And it is just as good as the first. There is really no better Indian food than what is served at Nirvana. For all the negative reviewers, I highly recommend that you give this place another chance. Nirvana has made several changes over the last couple of years, and each time I go back there are more and more people; an indication that the place is always improving. Trust me on this: Nirvana is one restaurant you don't want to miss.

Best Restaurant Ever!!!! Must go there if you get a chance.... Try their starters they are really good from the tandoor. They have the biggest drink menu i've ever seen.
