The owners are great people, warm and friendly. The staff is pretty good at their service. It is the go-to place for My husband, my sister and me. We usually order paneer tikka masala along with stuffed naan. These two are our absolute favorite. Gajar halwa is delectable. Some of the appetizers such as Gobi Manchurian and Veg platter are super nice.

While the quantity was more than sufficient, the chicken itself was a letdown. It had the texture of mass-produced, pre-cut pieces rather than authentic, marinated chicken. There was a total lack of infusion; the chicken tasted plain, as if it had been tossed into the sauce at the last minute. I probably won’t risk to order from here again.

We went to Nirvana post lunch as other indian restaurants closed due to Monday or past 3pm and we needed authentic vegetarian options. Nirvana is a polished, contemporary restaurant that is inviting and modern aesthetic. atmosphere is chill, lovely, and comfortable for a relaxed meal.
Extensive vegetarian and vegan-friendly selection for us to choose from and loved the place.

i want to start off my saying the aromas you are hit with when you walk into this lovely place ( or coming from your bag ) is beautiful blissfulness. i can smell every bit of loving seasoning they put into their freakin food, simply magic going on back their in the kitchen. the butter chicken is deliciously consistent every time. i could bathe in this sauce it is that good. the portions are perfect, the chicken melts in your mouth and the garlic naan.. the garlic naan comes glistening in a gorgeous buttery garlicy perfection. just absolutely amazing. perfection.

We absolutely enjoyed our dinner. Located a short walk from Harvard station, such a peaceful residential area. The restaurant was the perfect size to accommodate guests, create a warm & welcoming environment, & provide exceptional & timely service. Clean, very clean! Tastefully decorated. One note: bathrooms are down steps, could be a consideration for mobility challenged. The food was prepared & presented with care & showcased Indian culture & cuisine with care. We did have 2 different alcoholic drinks, both were poured appropriately. We chose the veg korma & Indian chili (veg options) medium heat. Glad we brought the leftover portion home!! Garlic naan was lightly toasted & still a bit chewy just the way it should be! Will be a regular option for us!

Update: After posting my original review, I spoke with the owner. He apologized, acknowledged the issue, and sent a gift card while inviting us back. I appreciate the accountability and willingness to address the situation.

Great food and amazing flavors — we genuinely enjoyed everything we ordered.
We came in at 9:30 pm, were told they close at 10, ordered right away, and even paid before finishing. The food arrived quickly, and we were eating at a normal pace.
At 9:58 pm, a server came over and told us we needed to leave and said, “We have families,” which felt abrupt and a bit dismissive while we were still actively eating. We left at 10:05 pm.
We completely respect closing times, but if the expectation is that all guests must be out by 10 sharp, that would be helpful to communicate clearly upfront.
The food was excellent — just wish the closing interaction had felt a bit warmer. I should also mention closing time was listed as 10:30 pm.

I always enjoy dining here. My go-to dishes are Paneer Tikka Masala, Masala Papad, Gobhi Manchurian, and stuffed naan—each one packed with authentic Punjabi flavors that truly remind me of Indian home-style food. The presentation is lovely, and the staff is extremely polite and cooperative, which makes the experience even better. Prices are very reasonable considering the generous portions and great quality. The owner is warm and welcoming and genuinely cares about every guest’s comfort. A place I’m always happy to revisit.

I almost never leave reviews, but Nirvana is fantastic. The food is delicious and reasonably priced, especially for their portions, and their staff are very kind and helpful. I accidentally ordered the wrong item to pick up, and when I talked to them about it, the chef was kind enough to swap the dishes without charging me extra, even though he had already made the food I mistakenly ordered.

EDIT: Buffet is no longer served, but the lunch options are plenty, and quite good. The food is not over salted anymore, and you get the choice of splicyness (medium is tangibly spicy).
Palak paneer was a bit too bland for my taste, but veggie pakora was succulent, and so was dal.
Overall, an alright place for the location / price.
OLD REVIEW (3 stars): The food is ok, but not outstanding.blunch buffet does it’s job, although the only meat selections I found were with chicken.
Quite salty, not particularly spicy. I’d say that it is a good choice for the location (very close to HLS campus), but if you feel more like walking, Kabob Factory offers more in the same category.
