About this restaurant

  • Romantic
  • Vegetarian-friendly
  • Good for groups
There is that dimension where there is neither earth, nor water, nor fire, nor wind; neither dimension of the infinitude of space, nor dimension of the infinitude of consciousness, nor dimension of nothingness, nor dimension of neither perception nor non-perception; neither this world, nor the next world, nor sun, nor moon. And there, I say, there is neither coming, nor going, nor stasis; neither passing away nor arising; without stance, without foundation, without support. -Buddha, on Nirvana

Nirvana is not a heavenly abode that one goes to. Nirvana is a mindset that one exists in. So whether it's the department break for lunch or dinner for two; whether it's a hunger for curry or a thirst for lassi; whether you dine in, or take away, our food assures that you take away the peace of mind that comes with only the perfect blend of spices, at the perfect Nirvana.

    This was the first time my husband and I have eaten at this restaurant, and we were very pleased with everything about it. The atmosphere with table cloths and candles on the tables; the food was excellent and had a new, and difference flavoring from the Indian food we've eaten over the years and a nice new experience. Our waiter was welcoming and gave us the right amount of attention. We would recommend this to someone who enjoys Indian cuisine, and will visit it again ourselves.

    Teníamos una reserva confirmada para el día 31 de diciembre a las 10:30 pm y me llamaron por teléfono a las 9:30 pm para decirme que cerraba a cocina a las 10:30 pm y que no iban a poder atendernos, de esta forma nos quedamos sin cena de Año Nuevo. Pésimo servicio puesto que dos días antes habían mandado un e mail de confirmación. No lo recomendaría.

    Been there many times, but this time the buffet was pretty poor. Near empty chafing dishes not filled during our hour there. Lids kept open, so some food congealed an all dishes got cold. Drinks and naan service was very good as usual.

    Been here multiple times and the food and service have always been great. We got in late last night, so we were the last ones there, but staff was still very attentive and fun.
