Looking forward to bringing friends and family next time to share the experience.

Food comes out as it's ready, but everyone's meals were timed well to each other. Starting with drinks, I ordered the tom yam siam cocktail and was NOT a fan. It tasted like it couldn't decide to be spicy or fruity and settled on bland. Others orders included the mango mule, mango lassi, and thai iced tea, and they all loved their drinks, so I think I just chose a bad item. The samosas had a perfect, crispy shell, and the aloo paratha was warm, stuffed goodness. It paired well with the murg amwala I ordered, which turned out to be the best Indian curry I've ever had. I ordered it extra spicy, since the cream offsets a lot of the spice, and it was amazing. I would return single-handedly for that dish over and over.

They had a buffet going but we decided to try their menu. I have to tell you, we were glad we did. We ordered a few appetizers and three chicken dishes. They were served family style, which was perfect because we were able to share and try different things. The food was absolutely delicious. The flavors were bursting with each dish I tried. I honestly do not remember tall the names of things I tried, but when I tell you they tasted out of this world amazing, I am not exaggerating. The chicken was juicy and tender. The spices and sauces complemented each dish perfectly. The portions were very generous- we all had food to take home. And the prices are very reasonable for the amount and quality of food. The service was attentive, the waiter was friendly and patient, as we navigated the new names of the menu. I do not know how this place was not busy, maybe more people come on weekends. I will definitely be back and might be ordering take out too. Highly recommend.

Oh man, what has happened to this place!! I have been here roughly 7 times since my initial,…read moreenthusiastic review and it has gotten progressively worse with each visit. The Service here is not just poor, it is NON-EXISTENT! Expect to sit a good solid 25 minutes before anyone steps up and at that point they are in a big rush to take your full order. How about opening our wine bottles first? Or asking if we have any questions. This is a BYOB and when it is this painful to get a bottle opened, you resort to bringing your own corkscrew as I did last night - problem solved ( with the exception of not being able to get wine glasses for another 15 minutes or so.) It seems the only person who hustles here, is the guy that works the front end and appears to be the owner. He should not have to do double and triple duty because the wait staff is awful. The once great food has changed as well. This was hands down the best Vindaloo I ever had, but this time there was NO spice at all! And the portion was reduced as well, I counted 3 pieces of Lamb and one measley sliced in half potato. And, it was a Saturday night and 3/4 empty, which speaks volumes. And the crack wait staff couldn't even keep up with this low volume. I won't be back.

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!

But the Red Dot seems to nail every single dish. We started with the multigrain vegan waffle with fresh fruit and loved it! So clean and flavorful, with perfectly ripe fruit. I do think the fruit should have been included, because it would have been a bit plain without it. Next, we had the ancient grains kitchari which was incredible. We loved all the fresh vegetables perfectly cooked, adding a variety of textures and flavors. It is offered as mild, medium, or hot; we got hot, which was great but not overly spicy, and we might request extra spicy next time. Lastly, we got the breakfast paratha wrap filled with their incredible tofu scramble. We were so impressed by how non-greasy it was (both the paratha and the scramble). We are always looking for food that isn't overly salty or oily, which is hard to find, but the Red Dot managed to do everything perfectly. Also major props to their masala chai, made super fresh with your choice of milk. The soy milk was creamy and pleasantly sweet and it didn't even require adding sugar. So rare to find vegan masala chai. The food takes fairly long to come out, but we felt it was worth it because of how delicious everything was; we also appreciated the generous portions. I think we have found one of our new favorite restaurants!
