Amazing flavors, great variety, superb, service, attentive staff, reasonable price. The authentic, modernized atmosphere—just perfect! And definitely worth the drive from Nanuet, NY! Go and Enjoy!!! Thank you Nirvana!!! See you soon, Michael and Cole

Vegetarians should not bother with this place. Tried 3 different vegetable dishes and all were tasteless…no salt, no masala taste. It was weird to eat something that looked delicious but had no flavor! I am assuming their non-vegetarian items are great because there was a constant flow of people coming in to eat or picking up food, so if you are a meat eater give it a go! Their breads were very fresh & soft (thus my 2 stars for food).

This was our first time coming here. We saw a NYTimes Foodie review from 2015 for this place. The place still lives up to this stellar review 8 years later. It is so delicious; unbelievably good!

Out of all the Indian restaurants I have been to in the Northern NJ area, this is my least favorite. They are serving food in broken dishes. Waiter was not polite and food was less than average. We waited to be seated even though restaurant was fully empty. Appetizers came after entree. We were rushed to order even though restaurant was closing in 45 mins. Definitely not a fine dining experience. Not worth the price. Not recommended at all, instead try other local Indian restaurants in bergen county.

This place is amazing ! I’ve dined in and them ordered to go and both times the food was delicious! My niece is vegan and I am gluten and dairy free due to allergies and they had so many delicious options ! My sister and mom both eat meat and they had amazing choices for everyone. We ordered and I would recommend the following dishes : appetizers – Masala Dosa, uttapam, kale pakora. The vegan Bagara Baingan is the stuff that dreams are made of my niece said she would take a straw and drink the sauce straight and I agree !!! The vegan Chana Masala and Aloo Gobi were also delicious with great taste profiles. My sister enjoyed the chicken tikka masala and the fruit and naan bread was scarfed up and although I couldn’t eat it myself , my mom, sister and niece who had never tried Indian food all loved it !! It smelled and looked amazing . Service is great and friendly and the portions are large and shareable ! I’ll definitely be back !

Ordered chicken tikka masala and chicken vindaloo. Both dishes were not great. Tikka masala was incredibly sweet and the vindaloo was so vinegary that I thought my esophagus would melt. Not the best Indian food in the area, and overpriced for what you get. Would not recommend.
