Absolutely super meal. Went with friends. Mansoor goes out of his way to welcome his patrons and make people feel at home. Super service. Highly recommend. The staff takes good care of the customers. The food is very tasty and they have a wide variety of dishes.

A Memorial Gem--Outstanding Food, Service & Value We had a fantastic dinner at Nirvana (Memorial, Houston) last night, and it's an easy 5 stars. The food was dialed in across the board: the Butter Chicken was silky and balanced--rich tomato-butter sauce with tender pieces that melt in your mouth. The Bhindi Masala was a standout (and not easy to get right): okra cooked perfectly with onions and spices--no slime, just flavor. From the tandoor, both the Fish and Tandoori Chicken arrived sizzling, lightly charred on the outside and juicy inside, with a bright hit of lemon and fresh herbs. The service was warm and attentive without being intrusive; the plates were paced well, and the team checked on us just enough. Portions are generous, and prices are very reasonable for the quality. We left happy, full, and already planning our next visit. We're planning to use Nirvana for our next party and catering order--these flavors will be a hit. Highly recommend!

Everything is spicy and flavorful! First time trying Indian food. Really great. Desserts are extremely sweet, though. Servers are lovely.

Indian Food always made from scratch. It's a hard job to satisfy everyone. I am Indian n cook everyday. Still can't make same taste. Food has to be healthy and well cooked. Taste may go here n there. Buffet food on this level... its blessings for us. One good burger cost 10 dollars. Here you can eat all. I really appreciate all the restaurant owners and chefs to take this challenge every day. Indian food is super healthy. Nirvana food is great.. I love north indian food. Kadhi Panir Butter chicken Biryani Naan Daal That's wat I want . They have great taste. It's authentic taste not too much oily and spicy. I recommended to all my friends and specially Americans who is new to indian food. Must try the Buffet. Lots of choice and to know more about other varieties. Good luck to All

I am not an Indian food expert by any means, but I have been to a few good Indian restaurants in my time. What I can tell you is this is the best of the bunch. I ate there on a Sunday for their lunch buffet and I found a warm atmosphere with attentive service. Every single dish was top notch. Naan is baked warm and brought to the table with your meal by the wait staff. And it is some of the best naan I have ever had. My favorite dish was the honey chicken which was not sweet with a hint of spice. An amazing balance of flavors that I will remember. Chicken tikka masala was really good and perfectly tender. Desserts were a great finish with my favorite being the suji halva which had a subtle sweetness with a hint of cardamon. I was able to get the buffet to go, so my wife could enjoy all of these dishes too. The only downside is I live in the Austin area and I have to travel 2 hours to enjoy the best Indian food this side of New Delhi! I will definitely be back and I may just make a special trip in order to enjoy this again.

The buffet was sooo nice. I love suji Halwa and the lamb the most. Nirvana Indian Restaurant is an excellent dining experience for those who love Indian cuisine. From the moment you walk in, you are greeted by warm and friendly staff who are eager to help. The restaurant has a cozy and welcoming atmosphere with beautiful decor, soft lighting, and comfortable seating. The food filled fast and all of them were fresh and warm. There are buffet on Monday and Tuesday nights, and Saturday and Sunday noon.

It’s our first time experience to visit Nirvana, food was fine in the buffet but I couldn’t enjoy well because I was expecting the beef Kabab but those were not available for the day we visited. I was expecting to enjoy like I was enjoying at their old restaurant Kings Chicken at Beechnut but may be some other time. Location was good and the decoration was also impressive.

Tried the lunch buffet at Nirvana Indian Restaurant, which had a nice variety of veg and non-veg options. The food was fresh with mild flavors, making it a good choice for those who don’t like too much spice. The Hyderabadi mutton biryani stood out as especially flavorful and satisfying. The ambiance is welcoming, though seating for larger groups can feel a bit congested. Service was very attentive, and the buffet stayed well-stocked. Overall, a good spot to enjoy an Indian meal with plenty of options, from comforting mild dishes to a rich biryani highlight.

I stumbled upon this place when I was staying in the Energy Corridor area, and I was quite impressed. I have enjoyed many Indian style buffets, but this had so much variety. I even found some dishes that I had never tried before. There was a good mix of veg and non-veg items. The meats were good quality, and all food seemed fresh and made with care. My favorite dish was the lamb curry. The meat was tender well seasoned, and felt like it was cooked with expertise. The atmosphere was open, classy, and clean. The owner was kind, made a point to connect with diners, and seemed to really care. I spoke to him briefly and he was kind and enthusiastic about his his business. This place is a bit far on the other side of town for me, but I keep thinking about when I can return. This might be my new favorite Indian buffet in town. I highly recommend.

Visiting from Frisco Texas tried Nirvana Indian Restaurant in Houston. Nice looking restaurant with really great food. All the dishes we ordered were delicious, well prepared and flavorful. Tasted very homestyle and not oily. Ordered paneer makhani, punj rattani dal, aloo gobhi, sindi style chole. Accompanied with breads from the tandoor: roti, aloo naan, and lacchedar paratha. Also, for the very first time in the United States, have I seen an Indian Restaurant serve complimentary Papad (lentil wafers) with Chutney. Have seen in India and Canada. Definitely will be back when in the area.

Totally Depends on what you are looking for, food isn’t gonna be spicy, don’t expect dozens of buffet entries. Ideal place for team lunches, tad bit pricey than competitors but is balanced with its cool decor, ambiance and quality. Great service, they do have BYOB with no corkage fee, patio is really cool for dinner with lights. Deserts are way too sweet.

Was totally shocked and disgusted to see the chef in the dining area laying on a cot like this on his phone??? With other paying customers in the area. We left immediately and when we asked about it the staff answered like it happens all the time. We were left speechless

I had a very disappointing and concerning experience at Nirvana Indian Restaurant. I went there for lunch on Saturday 17th and invited a friend. While we were about to get food from the buffet, I saw two small cockroaches near the food containers. I immediately informed one of the staff members, but he completely ignored the issue and walked away without taking it seriously or doing anything about it. This is extremely unhygienic and unacceptable, especially in a buffet where food safety and cleanliness are critical. I only wanted to report this so management is aware and takes proper action, but the staff reaction was careless and unprofessional. I would not recommend this place unless they seriously improve their hygiene standards.

They used to make fresh Nan bread before their restaurant was moved. Now for the last 5 visits at the new location they NO longer make their Nan fresh. All the food are warmed up for buffet. Not as good anymore. My wife and I used to go since they first opened for business. That was decades ago. Times have changed! Don’t waste your money.

Laxmi Murthy

We tried the buffet, but unfortunately it was quite underwhelming. Most of the dishes lacked flavor and freshness, and nothing really stood out as appetizing. Veggie dishes were very oily. Chole and yellow dal were bland. Puri were made out of plain flour and looked unappetizing. The presentation was decent, but overall the food didn’t live up to expectations.Will not go back.

Our friends wanted to treat us to dinner; so we raved about this upscale restaurant that we’ve been to a few times in the past. Today, it was subpar (at best). The rice (3 different dishes) was hard and still needed a good 10 minutes on the stove. The GOAT Jalfrezi was sweet and tomato-y with a stench of the meat. The yogurt raita was sour and gone bad. The only good items were grill & Naan, and their appetizers: chicken pakora & veggie pakora. Needles to say; I lost my appetite after 3 bites of the uncooked biryani’s rice & sweet goat meat! I had to come home and eat leftovers; the boring and sweet food (that should have been savory) left the palette wanting salvation! Not a good night, the company was good but the ambience left a sour taste on my tongue!! Never going back!
