"With an extensive variety of dishes laid out on the buffet table, there are plenty to choose from to meet all your Indian dishes needs, here at Nirvana.We came in a Friday afternoon for the lunch buffet, 20 minutes after they opened. There was only one other table here, but the food looked promising and plentiful. There are around 15 main entrée dishes to choose from, including chicken tikka masala, tandoori chicken, goat curry, fish curry, chicken kebab, daal, cabbage, aloo gabi, palak paneer, kadhi pakora, pakora, okra, green beans with other veggies, lamb biriyani, chicken biriyani and two other rice dishes. See? Plentiful right??Unfortunately, there were only a few dishes that really stood out to me the palak paneer and the yellow vegetable curry. The paneer was some of the best I've had and the Kadhi pakora was something I've never had before. It was a pakora dunked in a spiced yogurt sauce, with the sauce being sour but super flavorful. The rice dishes were all good, but nothing special. The tikka chicken masala had too much tomato flavor for my taste, making it overly sour. The daal was pretty good. The okra and veggie dishes were lackluster in flavor.Dessert included watermelon, rice pudding, carrot halva and gulab jamun.The waitstaff was extremely attentive and almost immediately cleared our old plates the entire meal. The cost of the lunch buffet was $21.50, which I thought was pretty steep, but there was a good variety of food.Overall, can't say I'd be back here but it definitely was not a bad experience!"

"Our family went here to celebrate my aunt's birthday a few weeks ago and get my grandma out of the house for one of the few times during the Kovid. First, my family can wait a little hard. Not rude, just strange requests and what not. But our server took care of us very well all the time. One of our family members had a injured leg and had to maintain it. The server immediately got us an additional chair, no questions asked. When we sat down for the first time, there was no music that made it a little stupid. We asked her about putting up music, and she immediately put some wonderful Bollywood music videos on her huge TV. She took the time to take over the order and answer questions. It was a lot, but she treated us all with patience, and she was knowledgeable at the food. The food took a while to get out, but we were a big party, so fair enough. But when it did, everything was excellent. They told us what each court was like, how they brought them out, what was helpful as we share everything. First we thought we didn't order enough because it doesn't look like a lot. But we couldn't finish it all and had to take home with us, and some of us are quite big eaters. We were filled and it was all delicious. At the end of the meal we were asked for Dessert, and we answered that we went back to dessert, but when she saw that it was my aunt's birthday, she brought Gulab Jamun with a raspberry choke, one for each of us. That was really nice of her and an excellent way to pack the meal without too much for our later dessert. I could also say that she treated our grandmother with patience and extra respect, which was very nice to see. I also want to say that the two best bad reviews, one complains about the prices and the fact that they have signs of a buffet that they no longer have. With Kovid, food prices have doubled to many ingredients. Everyone has increased their prices. Look at almost any other restaurant. And as for the buffet, the restaurant would probably like to return if Covid ever allowed it again. It's a pretty lame move to write a bad evaluation in a place during the Kovid, especially when the things you complain are because of Kovid. Quality of food and service was not even mentioned. The other bad review says they don't even go because they don't like the reactions of restaurants. Well, they lack because this place was excellent, and we received a great service. Good enough if you want to read reviews and not go, but don't leave a bad review for a place you never tried. It's just stupid. Thanks for the great night, Monsun. It meant a lot to us because we don't get all together anymore. Go on what you do!"
