We ordered lamb saag, tikka masala, two types of naan (including the chicken tikka cheese naan, which was totally unique and delicious. Never seen it before), and raita. All of the dishes were standouts. Well-balanced spices, tender meat, perfectly crispy-chewy naan. I've tried cooking Indian food at home for 20 years, eaten at places from Miami to Patterson and in between. This is at least top 3, maybe the best I've ever had. Great food, just delicious home cooking. I never leave reviews like this, but I haven't enjoyed a meal as much as this in years. Thank you! Wonderful experience.

Forgot to take a picture of our main entree but everything tasted great, great authentic Indian restaurant. The server was really nice and it is family owned and cozy. The food took a bit long to come out but when it did, it was delicious! First time I've had stuffed naan with such thin filling. I wish it was a bit more filling but this felt authentic and it was delicious either way so it was fine. We will be visiting the area often and will come again!

While traveling from Montreal to Washington, I stopped at Krave (75 Lafayette Ave, Suffern, NY) and…read morefound an absolute gem. I ordered the Kabuli Pulao / Kabli Pulao (also spelled Qabli/Qabuli Pulao) and it was one of the best meals I've had in a long time. The presentation was beautiful, the hospitality was outstanding, and they serve halal food, which is a big plus. The pulao was extraordinary--one bite took me to Saudi Arabia like Saudi mandi, and the next bite with the tender meat reminded me of Yemeni mandi. I asked the server about it and he said they'd lived in Saudi Arabia and blended influences from different places into a unique recipe, which explains why it tastes so special. Next time I'm not going to NYC or Montreal for Kabuli/Kabli (Qabli) pulao, Afghani pulao, or Arabic mandi--this will be my destination, especially being so close to the NY-NJ border.

We visited Krave for the first time, which is finally open.

The Lamb Tikka Kabab had generous proportions. The large lamb cubes were cooked perfectly, ideal medium, and really tender. The Qabeli Palow, was a delicious lamb shank with carrot and raisin topping. The lamb here is fantastic. It has absolutely no gaminess whatsoever. We will definitely be back, and bringing friends next time!! So happy this place is open in Suffern.

Last week, my partner and I went to Nirvana Indian Kitchen for dinner - what a fantastic find! We…read morewere looking for a place to celebrate a special occasion, but on a weeknight, and wanted to try someplace new for us. We decided to check out Nirvana in Allendale. On a weeknight, there were more guests for dine-in than I thought there would be on a Thursday night. I noticed that they have a consistent stream of takeout/doordash orders being picked up - so it's popular in the area. I can see why with the food - delicious. Here's what we ordered: - Samosas (Two thumbs up - nice spices with the perfect amount of kick) - Kale Pakora (I haven't seen this kale-only fritter before at other places that we've been; a new favorite. recommended app!) - Bagara Baingan (Eggplant in creamy tomato-based sauce; it's rich and flavorful, despite it being vegan. This will be a repeat order for me.) - Saag Panner (My partner's go-to intro dish when trying a new Indian spot; this SP was partner-approved) The dine-in experience had a cool, chill vibe and nice decor inside. With the lighting and music playing in the background, you kind of forget that you are in a strip mall. You're just immersed in this nice Indian dining experience with friendly staff and delicious food. On the weekends, there's a brunch buffet. That's a must-do on our list. Loved Nirvana and will be back to try other items on the menu for sure.

Nirvana Indian Kitchen was a place we wanted to try because it looked a bit more upscale than other…read morenearby options. The restaurant definitely delivers on that image -- great decor, linen-covered tables, table lighting, and a cozy, even romantic atmosphere. What didn't match the setting was the music. It was pumping the entire time like you were in a club, similar to the music during peak hours at the last Indian wedding I attended. It didn't fit the kind of quiet dining experience the space seems designed for. The staff were friendly and helpful, and the menu is extensive with plenty of options -- chicken, lamb, goat, seafood, and vegetarian dishes. We started with the calamari cochin, which was excellent. It came out hot and crisp, coated in a flavorful sauce, and felt like a unique take compared to typical fried calamari. For entrées we ordered eggplant bharta and goat curry with tandoori naan. We clearly asked for the eggplant medium spicy and the goat spicy hot, and the server repeated it back correctly. Neither dish had any heat. Instead, we were given a small bowl of chopped peppers to add ourselves, which isn't the same thing. The eggplant initially tasted good but became overly smoky as the meal went on. The goat curry was tender and nicely cooked. Unfortunately, as we continued eating we both started feeling increasingly queasy, so something clearly wasn't sitting right. In the end it was a mixed experience for us and not a place we plan to return to. Lastly, it's BYOB and there's no credit card fee!

We had the octopus appetizer this time and a large Greek salad with grilled calamari. Such a refreshing, delicious dinner to share. Lots of chargrilled octopus, sliced up to eat and dressed with parsley, capers, lemon and olive oil. Ugh, so good. Drizzle more of that awesome table EVOO for even more yumminess. The large Greek salad is...large. It's well balanced, has mild feta and we got it all topped with grilled calamari (for an added $9). It's a good value as you get plenty of calamari (vs ordering an app of calamari). Dinner ends with complementary Greek cookies - kourabiedes. Bring cash app they charge a credit card fee (my only gripe here). We bright home a gyro platter to go and our server timed the order perfectly so it came out right when we were about to leave.
