Unfortunately their chicken tikka masala fell short on flavor and the chicken was on the dryer side. The beef momos tasted and looked like they were store bought (balls of beef rather than uniform filling and dripping with oil). The chutney it was served with almost tasted like salsa which I wasn't a huge fan of but that's probably personal preference. The hot sauce they serve is more like a spicy oil. The restaurant itself is nothing fancy and looks to be more popular for takeout but it's very homey with each table having a map of Nepal and lots of Nepalese decor. I wanted to love this very clearly family run spot but it fell short for me.

As well as lassi and chai tea to drink. We love going to the one in crested butte and were happy we could have a last taste before home. My hubby and I both agree the one in CB is tastier, but the portions and presentation is better in Salida. Pricing is similar.

My mom and I went here a few years ago and stumbled across Nirvana Culinary Paradise, a lovely…read morerestaurant serving Indian cuisine located in the heart of Cañon City, Colorado. The food here is absolutely amazing and even that's an understatement. After taking my first spoonful of savory curry consisting of a variety of exquisite flavors, I instantly felt a wave of relief wash over me. For the first time in my life, I felt alive. I wasn't simply existing at this point, but I was experiencing happiness in its truest form. Imagine being abandoned by your tour group in the wilderness all because you left a trail of snacks behind the group to almost get mauled by a very hungry grizzly bear. Now you're lost, afraid, and the coldest you've ever been. The next few days, you see the first car since the tour group left you in the boonies to die. A sweet, elderly woman with grandma vibes rolls down her window and offers you a lift. You are alone and have no other options or place to go, so you accept her offer. She brings you to her quaint, peaceful home and wraps you up in a cozy plush blanket. You feel warmth not only on your skin, but in your heart. You feel safe. You feel comfort. You feel unconditional love. That's the same feeling you will get from Nirvana Culinary Paradise.

Today, we decided to go after a trip to the big store... We started with a beer which was great as they have a surprising number on tap. I ordered the chicken momo to start. The dumplings were delicious and I loved the tangy sesame tomato sauce... We ordered the vegetable biryani and chicken dhaniya at level 5 and their cheese naan. Wow, just remarkable dishes. The vegetable biryani was packed with flavor and the sheer amount of vegetables was crazy. The chicken dhaniya was something else as well the white sauce with the sesame seed melted in your mouth. The chicken was phenomenal all white meat and so tender. Of course, we are bread freaks so the homemade cheese naan was also outstanding! We did find out why they open at 1200 and by the way when we showed up there were cars parked waiting for the staff to open the doors! Our server explained each day they come in early and make everything fresh each day! The sauces, the dipping sauces, breads, vegetable and meat preps... explains it all!

I asked if they had onion chutney and although this was not an offering, he checked with the kitchen to see if they could make it. It wasn't possible but actually went above and beyond for chutney! Food: Flavor bombs galore. Started with the mixed Pakora and samosa. Pakora was crispy and the samosa was filled with veggies. Mains were chicken krahi, medium and chicken vindaloo, spicy - both bursting with flavor - and garlic and cheese naan. Rice was also served with the entrees.

Wow. My daughter and I were floored. Then the Sag paneer came. It was literally green gray. Spinach is usually green. We were told we needed to order mild because medium would be too spicy for us. More racial profiling? The Sag was the most bland, flavorless crap I've ever tasted. I think it had been sitting around for a long time. We didn't eat, paid the tab, and left sad and hungry. I don't know what others see in this place. Our experience was gross not to mention racist. We will NEVER be back.
