    Probably the best Indian food in Philly. Yes, I am being generous since it isn't Edison. This place has every spice level possible from mild to Indian spicy. And let me tell you Indian spicy is no joke since I thought hot burnt my tongue. We started with a samosa. The samosa had the perfect amount of peas in it. I also liked the tamarind dipping sauce. We had some palak paneer that had big chunks of ginger in it. Then we had a matar paneer. I really liked how thick the curry was in this dish. The gobi Manchurian was also good quality. I really liked the breading on the cauliflower (it made it so crispy). The sauce on the cauliflower was very tasty as well.

    Finally dined here recently after doing take out for several months. The chicken tikka masala and lamb vindaloo were both excellent! I ordered medium spicy and the spice level was more tamed than usual and it was perfect. The vegetable samosas were good but could have used more time in the fryer. One thing that I've noticed about this place is that the entrees are always on point but the breads are always not. I've tried the naan, roti and paratha - none of them ever good. They're all either very thick, dense, and/or taste a bit undercooked. Stick with their entrees and you should be good. Wished their Indian breads were better!

    Beautiful Indian tapestry.

    Tried Nirvana Indian Kitchen for lunch today. I ordered the Navaratna Korma and a Chicken Biryani for my wife and I to split. They said 15 minutes and that was exactly right. Easy tap n go payment and I was eating some seriously delicious lunch that must have come right off the stove. The chicken biryani was just how they describe it on the menu - juicy, flavored, delicate spices. Bravo. I tried both but gravitated toward the Navaratna Korma. Something I'd never tried or heard of - loved it. A couple can order a single dish for lunch, split it, and still be quite full. This place will definitely make it into my work at home lunch rotation. Welcome to Queen Village.

    Delicious neighborhood spot. The Saag Paneer and Dal Makhni are true standouts! We'll definitely be back!

    Great addition to the neighborhood. Really enjoyed the food both times we've ordered. Will definitely add Nirvana to my takeout rotation.

    HORRIBLE! I ordered tandoori chicken and Lamb briyani. Disaster on both fronts. Chicken was NOT…read moremarinate, Tasted Bland, sauted with onions, sweet bell pepper and God alone knows what! Where in the world serves tandoori cooked in a sauce and a sugary sweet sauce at that? Even an Indian kitchen in a grocer store has better food than this. Lamb Briyani - in wet clumps and rice grains were broken. More like vietnamese broken rice. Meat was rough and tough. barely any meat. Also not marinated. The only saving grace was the white rice. That was perfect. But who eats white rice alone? That's the one star. I can make both items better myself. First and last time and they are not cheap. Disappointed and a disaster. Hope they stop cheating customers.

    My kids live near by this Indian restaurant and so before Thanksgiving day we went for dinner…read more we ordered, Salmon Tika masala Masala, Shrimp Saguala, Sagg Paner, Lamb Korma, chicken vindaloo and a side of garlic naan for all of us to share. The food was very fresh and we ordered all medium level spice, the food came out with a large bowl of basmati rice. My favorite items was the Lamb Korma and the chicken vindaloo. the Salmon TIka masala I did not love. but loved the Tika Masala sauce. the sag paner was just ok. Small place with a few chairs for tables. Service was provided by a young man who was probably a family member, Black large dishes to at off of but the utensils were plastic packed silverwareish. Still all was good to come back again.

    Very nice location and very welcoming atmosphere for this neighborhood Indian restaurant. The staff…read moreare extremely friendly and very attentive. I got the Chicken Tikka Masala, and it was cooked to perfection, very favorable and spice level was on point. I also ordered a cocktail and it was mixed and presented perfectly. I was in Philly on a business for only a few days this week and I liked this place so much that I came back to eat again during the same trip.

    Good food. I ordered the pomfret, butter chicken and naan bread. The place was fairly empty when I…read morearrived but by the time I left it was booming. The servers could've had better attitudes. I didn't appreciate the stares, lack of acknowledgment when I walked in and lack of urgency when I had questions. A regular told me to sit where I wanted since the bartender refused to answer my question. I sat where I wanted; then the bartender and my server both walked up on me and asked me to move to another table. I almost left. They had given me 5 reasons already why I should've left. The icing on the cake was when I asked for recommendations and the server said she's not Indian and she doesn't know what to order. Well.... Hate to break it to you darling... I'm not either lol. This place is poorly ran. I'm glad the food was actually good because this establishment did not deserve my money at all. Believe people the first time when they show you they DO NOT WANT TO SERVE YOU.
