“ I left feeling satisfied and happy! Customer service is so very important to me and the staff here met my high expectations. They were courteous, patient, helpful when asked for recommendations and identifying dishes in pictures on Yelp. The food was flavorful and each dish unique in flavor profile. If you like cilantro please try the Chilli Chicken apart of their Indochinese section, my bestie was pleasantly surprised and we shared our dishes, as we normally do. She's crazy about rice, like, crazy and was very impressed with their white rice. It was tender, fluffy, delicious. I really enjoyed the Naan, the best i've had, ever. Wether it was the garlic, rosemary or onion naan the they are not skimpy and it paired very well with the masala 10/10. I love a place that uses real linens! The restaurant is beautiful, spacious and can accommodate groups of all sizes. We witnessed many people coming in to grab dinner to go, a green flag in my opinion. This was my second time here and there will be a third, fourth, fifth and.. Go! ”
“ Fresh delicious food and the service is awesome butter chicken and beryani great BYOB ”
“ if you have a high spice tolerance don't forget to order the food spicy. without asking for it spicy it will be for a classic white person palate in my opinion. ”
“ I actually discovered this place because I ordered takeout. Everything was super tasty. When I went to pick up my food, I noticed what a nice ambience the restaurant had and I will definitely be coming back to sit for dinner. The staff were extremely kind while I waited for my order. ”
“ The food was very delicious. The Samosas were huge, from the first bite I could smell the herbs and the steam was aromatic and the sauce was perfect. The main dish was very filling and had lots of meat In it. Grabbed the basket of naan and they were all so good!! Have to take your own alcohol (store walking distance) but Vikram was amazing. He cares about the place and makes sure you are taken care of. Great place. I could eat there every day. Yum! ”
“ You may want a reservation on a Saturday evening! I didn't have a reservation and showed up around 6pm on a Saturday evening (group of 3). The host was taken aback at first but asked us to wait 10-15 minutes and got a large table (for 6) ready for us. The spaces were tight even though the table was for 6. Table in the back would have been a better fit for us but it was covered in cleaning supplies. At our table we were greeted by several people but weee unsure who would actually take our order. It took a very long time for that to happen (maybe 20-30 min). The food itself was fantastic. We ordered samosas for an appetizer and chicken saag, chicken tikka masala for entrees along with delicious garlic naan. I'd go back with a reservation! Or do takeout! ”
“ Door dashed from Nirvana while visiting NJ. What a good choice. Chili chicken with garlic naan and potato samosa. All perfect with great flavor and terrific spice. It was delivered quickly and fresh and worth every cent. I will order there again my next visit! ”
“ Last week, my partner and I went to Nirvana Indian Kitchen for dinner - what a fantastic find! We were looking for a place to celebrate a special occasion, but on a weeknight, and wanted to try someplace new for us. We decided to check out Nirvana in Allendale. On a weeknight, there were more guests for dine-in than I thought there would be on a Thursday night. I noticed that they have a consistent stream of takeout/doordash orders being picked up - so it's popular in the area. I can see why with the food - delicious. Here's what we ordered: - Samosas (Two thumbs up - nice spices with the perfect amount of kick) - Kale Pakora (I haven't seen this kale-only fritter before at other places that we've been; a new favorite. recommended app!) - Bagara Baingan (Eggplant in creamy tomato-based sauce; it's rich and flavorful, despite it being vegan. This will be a repeat order for me.) - Saag Panner (My partner's go-to intro dish when trying a new Indian spot; this SP was partner-approved) The dine-in experience had a cool, chill vibe and nice decor inside. With the lighting and music playing in the background, you kind of forget that you are in a strip mall. You're just immersed in this nice Indian dining experience with friendly staff and delicious food. On the weekends, there's a brunch buffet. That's a must-do on our list. Loved Nirvana and will be back to try other items on the menu for sure. ”
