Nirvanis Indian Kitchen

Before I get to the ridiculous price for 2 veggie samosas let’s start with how greasy this crap is. It looks like the samosas went straight from the fryer right into a brown paper bag, they didn’t even bother draining the damn thing. Now let’s talk about them charging $9 dollars for 2 Veggie Samosas, most places charge $4 for 2 some even $6 but these guys take the cake at $9 after taxes. Not to mention every bite you take there’s oil dripping out. 0/10 stars don’t even bother because these people don’t care about improving the quality of their food. Don’t believe me? Just look at the picture.

The food here is always so good, especially the white sauce, and the chicken tikka khati roll with Unda. They have great Mango Lassi as well, and I love that you can order on the iPad. It's effortless and seamless. They have plenty of seating and play amazing music that makes the experience enjoyable. They have beautiful decorations, and lastly, the bathrooms are always very clean.

It’s a charming little café with a lovely interior, but the food was a mixed experience. The tikki chaat was flavorful and delicious, and the fries were definitely a highlight. However, the chicken rice platter didn’t taste fresh and felt like an old version of a typical halal-style dish. The chai was average at best. Overall, it’s worth trying once, but it didn’t quite meet my expectations.

Before I begin, I must say that the food was very good. However, that does not excuse a plethora of flaws in this restaurant. I ordered the butter chicken. Big mistake. I paid 22 DOLLARS for a bowl of rice and a bowl of butter chicken, both bowls smaller than the palm of my hand. I left still feeling hungry. On top of this, it took at least 25 min for the food to finally come out. If the service was quicker and the portions were bigger for a better price, this restaurant would be great, but it’s not. I am not one to write reviews, but here I am writing a one star with the hope that the owners read this and realize that changes need to be made. If you want good food and don’t feel like being absolutely robbed, do not go here.

I’ve ordered from here on multiple occasions. Although portions for certain items could be larger and service sometimes is inconsistent - I still keep going back. Why? The food is that good and consistent in flavor. Staff is not disrespectful and are friendly when greeted also with kindness.
