| - Hello Yelp Readers: I am reviewing Nirvana Indian Cuisine, formerly Indian Paradise Restaurant.
My husband and I had visited Indian Paradise Restaurant at the old location at least once per month for quite some time. The food was consistent, tables and the buffet station was clean, and service was always adequate and pleasant.
The new location provides a full bar, more seating, but the quality of the lunch buffet has gone downhill.
When we arrived at 1:30 PM the tandoor chicken was out on the buffet (none left), the chicken curry had only sauce in the buffet pan, and the tiki masala chicken had no chicken in the buffet pan.
Fried foods were dry and had been sitting out (old tasting) and not maintained at temperature.
The rice was sticky and hard to get out of the pot.
The mango yogurt drink was luke warm and watered down.
The buffet stations were dirty with spilled sauce, rice all over the table the rice cooker was on, and the floor in front of the buffet stations was wet and dirty.
The bathroom were also very unkept and dirty.
The floor and tables in the restaurant were also dirty.
I made the waiter aware the food was out at the buffet station and he said they would bring more out.
So, we waited, and eventually more food came out, but they only serve lunch until 2:30 PM and you better believe at 2:30 PM that was it - - so we could not enjoy our lunch as we had intended because by the time the replenishment food arrived it was close to closing time.
The naan served had garlic and herbs and was a good portion and had good flavor. The naan was also good at their old location, this means the only item which generated consistency from one location to the other was the naan.
We got water with our meal. The waitress had brought our bill to our table while we were eating. No one asked us if we would like anything else before bringing the bill. So, I got up, found the waitress and asked for a cup of hot tea. She promptly came to our table to retrieve our bill for two lunch buffets and brought back a bill with the tea added to it. I was very surprised she would do this, after we had to wait for food to be brought out to the buffet table and then scooted out due to it being close to 2:30 PM, the least they could have done was give me the hot cup of tea (only one cup) with their apologies!
Even the hot tea was served in a much smaller cup and the price went up from their previous location.
Regrettably, although old fans, we will NOT be returning.
Sorry Nirvana owner and staff members . . . there is much for you to do in order to survive long term at your new location.
