Restaurant Description
This restaurant formally known as Nirvana has despite the hustle and bustle of modern life there lies a basic premise that underlies all Indian hospitality. This is derived from the "Deva Bhava" which is an ancient Sanskrit that has been handed down through the ages and holds true even today. Translated it means that " a guest is equal to god and should be treated as such". We have created a menu, which is rich in culture and combines dishes from some of the major states and provinces within India. Punjab, South India, Gujarati, Rajestri and Bengal are some the regions represented on our menu. Each region has its own distinct style of cuisine, which we have endeavored to recreate for you. All of our dishes are made with exotic spices specially imported from India and custom blended by our chef. Notable selections include the Chicken Vindaloo (originally concocted by the Portuguese who settled in India-potatoes, sweet cinnamon, staranise, vinegar and freshly ground spices harmonize to create one of the spiciest curries,) Lamb Curry (cubes of lean lamb simmered in a tasty brown onion gravy,) Dal Nirvana (black lentils cooked with a delicious blend of the chef's own spices) and the Shrimp Biriyani (jumbo marinated shrimp in a fusion of aromatic rice and seasonings.) Our aim I to satisfy, so please let us know of any special needs or tastes you may have and we will try to accommodate. Sit back, relax and enjoy our hospitality.
