Restaurant Information

Nirvana is not a heavenly abode that one goes to. Nirvana is a mindset that one exists in. So whether it’s the department break for lunch or dinner for two; whether it’s a hunger for curry or a thirst for lassi; whether you dine in, or take away, our food assures that you take away the peace of mind that comes with only the perfect blend of spices, at the perfect Nirvana.

There is that dimension where there is neither earth, nor water, nor fire, nor wind; neither dimension of the infinitude of space, nor dimension of the infinitude of consciousness, nor dimension of nothingness, nor dimension of neither perception nor non-perception; neither this world, nor the next world, nor sun, nor moon. And there, I say, there is neither coming, nor going, nor stasis; neither passing away nor arising; without stance, without foundation, without support. – Buddha, on Nirvana

A pleasant secret surprise in this neighborhood! Excellent lunch buffet at good price. Dining area is clean, well-lit and inviting. I've been staying in this for the past week, and should have been eating at Nirvana every day instead of trying the other spots on Lex.

Went in a group of 4. Ambiance: Nice, classy atmosphere in the restaurant on the 2nd floor Bar on the first floor - didn't try it Bathroom in the basement Food: Apps - Spicy pickled veggie - was not a fan, too sour - Black bean lentil - slightly spicy, good for dipping - Garlic naan - soft and tasty Entree - Spinach and lamb - spinach is always good - Chicken in red sauce (forgot name) - good - Veggie biyrani - good too, can't go wrong with biyrani - Tawa scallops - very good; comes with 4 - Saag Paneer - it's a less soupy variety than I've had at other places, but good - Lamb Korma - Chicken Tika Masala - Garlic naan - always good Dessert - rice pudding - okay - Cottage cheese - kind of weird and spongy Service: - good

While the food was pretty good, It wasn't close to the best Indian food I've had. Especially for the price. Restaurant is clean but staff wasn't so helpful. Ended up waiting almost 15 mins for a pickup order which in turn made my lunch cold. I'f you're nearby then by all means, but dont go out of your way to come here. I last ordered the chicken lunchbox

This place was revelation. I usually goto Junoon or Tulsi but Nirvana turned out to be almost as good. The lunch buffet was extensive. It had all the usual Indian fare. Samosa chaat was just as good as I have had in India. Firni was as good as the one my friend's mom force fed me on Eid.

Ate here last night. The best Restaraunt I have ever been to in my life! The staff are all so friendly and helpful. The hostess, waiters and manager are a class act! The decor is beautiful and trendy in a classy way with a large bar area for pre dinner drinks. Fun music pumped throughout, but not too loud as some trendy places think they must do. The food OMG!! We tried all of the following and they were all spectacular: Wagu Meatballs (ridiculously good!) Mushroom Polenta Barbecue Pork Bellies Cauliflower Steak Tomahawk steak for 2 (Best ever in NYC and enough for 3) Chateaubriand for 2 (prefect and also enough for 3) Mash Potatoes French Fries Spinach Gelato & Sorbet wonderful. We're so full we didn't have room for some of their signature deserts which looked amazing. Go here and you will have a memorable culinary experience. This is not your typical steakhouse. It is special in EVERY way. It's not cheap but it's with every Penney and MORE! We can't wait to go back!!!!!

Very Good Indian dining option in manhattan NY, on 40th street. Good Food. Of course, it is advisable to go for lunch b4 one hour of closing time to have hot food and better response from staff ! I was unfortunate to visit there @ 14:20hrs (closing 15:00hrs) and on asking about food not being hot, response was that they have kept warmers under the food but after 14:00hrs it may have started getting cold ! As it may happen sometimes in busy area/ city, restroom / wash room in basements and dining on second floor.

First off, I'm not a fan of a la carte at Indian restaurants. I prefer buffets or a meal that I can order that comes with 2 mains, rice and bread. I don't like having to order multiple separate dishes. I find it becomes very costly. However, I ordered the chicken bites and crab claws.. The chicken bites were just ok, but the crab claws were divine. Overall good and the service was good too.

This is a review of hosting a networking party. I had the workweek lunch buffet several times and worked with Anil, the manager to host a networking party for 80 people at the street level lounge. It was a success and all the guests loved the ambience, the food, drinks, attention, etc. Staff and manager were super accommodating, extended happy hour by a full hour and passed out complimentary appetizers. Bartenders Elena and Anna were totally on top of things. They also stayed open a little while longer when a small group was still having drinks after the event was over. They know how to spoil their guests and I highly recommend hosting your party here !

1. Food: The food was great. We loved everything that we ordered especially the calamari bhajia, chicken 65, goat biryani, samon kabobs and the desserts. 2. Ambience: The ambience was so so. Just a typical Indian restaurant. 3. Service: The people were very nice but the over all service was very slow. We actually had to cancel our second order of drinks as they came after we finished our dinner even though the drinks were prepared and kept on the counter for a while, there was no one bringing it our table. Other than that the overall experience was ok. Having said that I am not sure if I will go back on my own but if in a group scenario if Nirvana gets suggested I wouldn't mind to give it another shot.

It feels unfair that we have come here so many years for the lunch buffet and I not leave a review. Nirvana is the place where me and my posse of friends from work have ordered lunch buffet for years, usually a Friday, stagger back to work to finish the afternoon, and have never been disappointed. Food is fresh and prepared very well, service extremely attentive, and lunching here is always satisfying and makes for a happy event. Staff also knows everyone who comes here regularly and is very welcoming and gracious. Aside from the buffet, I have occasionally ordered the dal and pepper chicken appetizers for lunch takeout and can attest to their excellence.

Food was good, would eat here again. There was in interesting smell upon arrival that wasn’t pleasant or of food. There are two spaces to the restaurant, first floor bar and second floor seating. The first floor looks like it is more for events which is what some other reviews point out. The second floor is nice and the environment is enjoyable for a meal. It is split into three. 1. One where the food is. 2. Where seating is. 3. More seating with natural light. Food tasted good, good mix of vegetarian and meat options. Service was nice as well. The naan was really the only thing that was amazing. We would come back just for that. We went for the lunch buffet for $15.95, totally worth that. Unlimited. Some foods were a little strangely presented but definitely appreciated the Saran Wrap if foods don’t go quickly to keep as fresh as possible.

Absolutely love the buffet lunch on weekdays. A very wide spread for approx $16, even as a vegetarian. Great for team outings or one-on-ones. I also often take-out their approx $10 lunch where you choose from a set of fixed options.

Good service and ambience. Food presented well and was good quality. Flavours missed the mark for me on this occasion. Paneer tikka was good

Nirvana had fantastic Indian food and a great staff! Meetoo (sorry about spelling) provided us with great suggestions from the menu and when walking in you could smell the great sauces that you'd expect from a good Indian restaurant. The Chicken Tikka Masala as well as Butter Chicken and their Naan were fantastic! Dominic was an amazing waiter who continually checked up on my wife and I and showed us amazing hospitality. He made some recommendations for the city and got to know us while meeting our every need. A great experience and highly recommended!

Amazing Place to visit and have a peaceful dinner. Unlike other Indian Restaurants where they play Indian Music, they have a very pleasant music with a touch of Amazing food. The staff is very friendly and the taste of food is amazing and according to the needs. A nice and Fancy place to visit. Prices of the Main course could be little lower. But Quality of food is amazing.

Food is really good and service is great. I think you're dish dependent on 4 or 5 stars which is why I landed on a 4. I've always enjoyed my food on multiple visits, but some diahes are just better than others. Overall ambiance is nice, relaxed and comfortable. Everytime we've been there the food and experience has always been great. Highly recommend.

Pretty much the best Indian starters I've had in my 7 months of stay in NY. Main course was good as well. Overall a good experience with courteous staffer serving us. Probably a bit pricey but will definitely recommend for starters.

I loved the lunch buffet and would come by for it almost twice a month. They recently changed the buffet style and bring it over to your table depending if you want meat or vegetarian, the options have decreased and also the dishes themselves are tiny bowls. I feel I am wasting more food this way. Before I would get what I want, and now I end up not eating most of it. I understand the effort in case people would waste food, but I think you should bring back the buffet style and put signs around to only serve yourself what you will eat and not waste food, OR provide more options with a list of what is available so that I pick what I want in the small dishes. If the old buffet style comes back then I will definitely come back again.

Generous portions of scrumptious food prepared with great artistry and care. Since the pandemic, Nirvana has provided a small outdoor venue that embraces the New York dining experience while helping to carry the restaurant through these trying times. I am a fervent supporter and look forward to enjoying another fine meal at this charming establishment very soon!

Food was good, would eat here again. There was in interesting smell upon arrival that wasn’t pleasant or of food. There are two spaces to the restaurant, first floor bar and second floor seating. The first floor looks like it is more for events which is what some other reviews point out. The second floor is nice and the environment is enjoyable for a meal. It is split into three. 1. One where the food is. 2. Where seating is. 3. More seating with natural light. Food tasted good, good mix of vegetarian and meat options. Service was nice as well. The naan was really the only thing that was amazing. We would come back just for that. We went for the lunch buffet for $15.95, totally worth that. Unlimited. Some foods were a little strangely presented but definitely appreciated the Saran Wrap if foods don’t go quickly to keep as fresh as possible.

two days ago was our first time we came to that good restaurant. But It is definitely not the last time. We passed a splendid evening with the efficient service, with the excellent dishes and booze and with the friendly price. We will absolutely visit there again.
