    We found this awesome food truck place on yelp. The name Nirvana seemed interesting. We called the food truck. Jason the owner asked as to park across the street. Free parking for the kahei village shops. A lot of food trucks here. For every tastebud and flair. From Hawaiian to Japanese, to açaí bowls and smoothies. The free range roosters are everywhere. One hen was trying to lay an egg in the shade of a truck.

    Mango Lassi

    One of the best beef samosas I've ever had!! Sad it was my last day or I would've gone back for more. Their mango lassi super delicious! Next time I come back to visit Maui, Nirvana will definitely be on my list. Service was great. Highly recommend!

    Their Masala Dosas and Samosas are super good and pair well with their Tamarind Sauce! Especially love the cilantro inside of the Dosas - if you're looking to find great North and South Indian Cuisine on Maui, Satrang is the place to visit - Miguel Morales Photography

    Masala dose, coconut chutney, rice, and sambhar

    We were craving something different on the island after several days of pizza, pasta, etc. Being vegetarian we came upon all these food trucks in Kihei and loved the prior reviews of Nirvana. My wife and I split the masala dosa and the dosa plate. The dosas were piping hot and light. The sambhar was rich and flavorful and complemented the dosas nicely. We only wish the potatos in the dosas were spicier but that's a personal preference. We'll definitely be back here on our next trip to Maui.

    Walk up order area!

    This is HANDS DOWN the best vegan plate I've had the whole 3 weeks I was in Maui! As a vegan it was very hard to find something delicious HOT and fully vegan but Nirvana took care of me! So much I had to come back before I headed to the airport! Thank you so much for your wonderful customer service and delicious food! I can't wait to get back for some more!

    Being from the Bay area samosas are a dime a dozen this place is spectacular, both the vegetable and beef samosas are the best I've ever had. The sauce for dipping is fruity and wonderful. Well worth the trip to Kihei to find this place in the South Maui gardens all the way back in the corner... Well worth the walk!

    Dosa Masala is very tasty! Love it.

    Delicious vegetarian curry. A little pricey for food truck, but good sized portion and tasty.

    So different and so delicious!!! I loved that there was so many protein options, including plant…read morebased. Seafood is always good in Maui so I went with fish empanadas and camarones arepas. More than enough for one person../probably a little too much for one person :) The inside has pretty limited seating and there is some outdoor seating, but also limited- so you may want to consider ordering to go. The parking lot is also pretty tight since the entire back row is reserved for employees

    Actually was quite pleasantly surprised that we liked the Venezuelan food. The lady at the counter…read morewas friendly and helpful. Lots of plant based options. Beans were well cooked and flavored. So was the rice. The bananas/ plantains added good sweet flavor to the whole meal. The coconut cheese was interesting. Never had that before but it did taste like cheese and added flavor. The jackfruit arepa sandwich that we had, could have had the jackfruit, cheese, plantains mixed together better. The jackfruit bowl was better as it was easier to mix everything and get all the flavors together. Pretty much same as the sandwich but a little more and easier to mix (so would recommend the bowl over the sandwich). The sandwich seemed to be made of rice. We also had a mango and a coconut slushie drink. The mango tasted like the mango concentrate from Costco (sugary) and the coconut was a little more original/ different. We liked both though. Limited indoor seating. Outdoor seating available. Steady flow of patrons. The only thing I didn't like was that the price was a bit high though in my opinion but I guess everything in Maui is that high priced. Update: went back and got a coconut slushie drink again :) and tried the plant based mushroom and cheese (coconut cheese) and fish empanada. They were delicious with the mushroom being our favorite. The chipotle sauces and cilantro onion sauces were delicious as well! The empanadas are not made to order (they are premade so you cannot seperate out the cheese from the mushroom but it does not have a strong flavor). I also liked the coconut slushie by itself vs mixed with mango. Note: The empanadas come in 2: when you eat in house, a red Chipotle sauce and white cilantro onion sauce are given with it (as well as with the arepas); there is another sauce for vegans (think it's a cilantro/ oil/ spice sauce). We liked the white sauce better than the vegan sauce. The empanadas are not made to order (they are premade). If you order to go, you are only given once sauce. If you want more than one, you need to just add it on before you leave with the big dispensers. Otherwise, you only get one sauce (not sure why you can't just add white and red sauce in the same to go container but we weren't given the option). And, to make things worse, the lady said curtly she would charge me next time for 2 sauces "due to the plastic". well, thank you for not charging me but the statement was unnecessary IMHO. Note for improvement (and for this, I was tempted to drop the star rating): we came here multiple times and gave your business a lot of our dollars (about 135.00), yet the above statement, I don't think was necessary if you are trying to provide good customer service. You should gladly offer extra of the sauce or even, as I suggested above, allow customers to add the sauce themselves if they want more than 1 sauce and you don't want us to "use up your plastic containers". Kind of left a bad taste in our mouths.
