Excellent ... Yummy.... Don't Miss! – I have eaten at nearly every Indian restaurant in the Houston area. Nirvana is one of the two Indian food restaurants that I return to over, and over, and over. I order so much from Nirvana that when I call, the staff know me -- and my order -- by heart. It has all of the charm of a local neighborhood establishment with the quality of an "uptown" eatery. The owner and staff are helpful (if you don't know what to order or want to try something new, they're great at assisting you in making... read more

Worest food EVER! Save your Money – I ordered dinner for four persons from this nirvana after finding their adds on our door. It cost me a lot to try their bad food. I have to be honest and say that I got the best bread ever and the worest rest of food ever. I may advice them to turn it into bakery, For four persons, It cost around $90 and I got very bad food. they sent one spoon of salad per person. If you go to red lobster or Olive Garden, you would bay much less for many sides or lots of tasty food. I am sad for two reaso... read more

Excellent Food, Excellent Service! – Though I live a fair distance from this restaurant, it is always worth the drive. The staff recognize my husband and me the moment we walk through the door though we do not frequent this establishment as often as we would like. While the restaurant is not situated in the most ideal location and wouldn't necessarily attract one's attention from the street, that is soon forgotten. From the moment I walk through the door it is like stepping into home of a friend where I can relax, eat and en... read more

best north and east indian cuisine – I visit Nirvana everytime I am in Houston. I live in San Diego which is a pretty rich indian cuisine location. Nirvana food is comaparable and some of the dishes are actually really authentic and tasty. I have met the owner as he is from my birth state in India and found him to be very humble and polite. The staff is also very friendly and the service is great.

NIRVANA...ABSOLUTELY!!!! – Nirvana has the best selection of wonderfully spiced food of all the Indian restaurants I've visited in Houston. The evening ambiance is perfect for dining in a friendly and relaxed atmosphere. I especially appreciated the helpful staff whose suggestions were perfect for my "fellow foodies." The Monday evening buffet is ALWAYS varied and plentiful. Try NIRVANA...It's HEAVENLY!! I highly recommend it to everyone!!

Nirvana it is NOT! – My wife and I dropped in for a takeout meal on a mid-week evening. It was empty at 7pm. The location, building and decor is poor but the service was helpful. The food was quite plain and barely authentic. We ordered a variety of dishes for 4 people (a good cross-section of the menu). Everything was low quality, tasting almost out-of-a-jar or out-of-a-packet. I asked where the owner and chef was from, they said northern India but I remain unconvinced! Nirvana is not a good Indian restaurant and I think yo... read more

Palette-stretching, high quality Indian food – I have visited Nirvana twice, once for the lunch buffet, and once for a summer-only Monday night dinner buffet. Both times I have been blown away with the diversity and quality of the food. Every dish tasted completely different, with obviously fresh spices giving the food a complexity and depth of flavor I have not experienced since a trip to England a few years ago. I grew up in the UK, and have eaten in most many major Indian communities and their homes. The service was prett... read more

No Nirvana Dining Experience Here! Don't Bother! – The food is just fair but the attitude and lack of service is really bad. It took forever to get anything and this happened when there were only two other customers (couples) in the whole restaurant. I ordered the "Nirvana Special Vegetarian Meal" which was advertised as a complete meal with appetizer (samosa), vegetables, tomato/cucumber salad, various chutnies and relishes (at $18). What I actually got was about two small ounces of three different vegetables and a smaller ... read more

User review by cashill – My husband and I have done the Indian food market in circles here looking for great food, consistency and value. A friend turned us on to Nirvana and we've been going back ever since. Years ago, Dahwat was our spot, and they changed hands and names. But, Nirvana is very similar to the taste and value we always found there. The restaurant is clean and inviting, and the people always polite. We go so often now that they are sure to recognize our faces. The lunch buffet is always fresh, and the manager ... read more
