My mom and I went here a few years ago and stumbled across Nirvana Culinary Paradise, a lovely…read morerestaurant serving Indian cuisine located in the heart of Cañon City, Colorado. The food here is absolutely amazing and even that's an understatement. After taking my first spoonful of savory curry consisting of a variety of exquisite flavors, I instantly felt a wave of relief wash over me. For the first time in my life, I felt alive. I wasn't simply existing at this point, but I was experiencing happiness in its truest form. Imagine being abandoned by your tour group in the wilderness all because you left a trail of snacks behind the group to almost get mauled by a very hungry grizzly bear. Now you're lost, afraid, and the coldest you've ever been. The next few days, you see the first car since the tour group left you in the boonies to die. A sweet, elderly woman with grandma vibes rolls down her window and offers you a lift. You are alone and have no other options or place to go, so you accept her offer. She brings you to her quaint, peaceful home and wraps you up in a cozy plush blanket. You feel warmth not only on your skin, but in your heart. You feel safe. You feel comfort. You feel unconditional love. That's the same feeling you will get from Nirvana Culinary Paradise.

I asked if they had onion chutney and although this was not an offering, he checked with the kitchen to see if they could make it. It wasn't possible but actually went above and beyond for chutney! Food: Flavor bombs galore. Started with the mixed Pakora and samosa. Pakora was crispy and the samosa was filled with veggies. Mains were chicken krahi, medium and chicken vindaloo, spicy - both bursting with flavor - and garlic and cheese naan. Rice was also served with the entrees. Plenty of seats in the restaurant and parking in the lot. Next time I visit my son, I'll come again.

When I asked for sauce the owner came out and handed me a tamarind chili sauce he made, explaining: "We are out of plum chutney so I made this sauce. My neighbor is WHITE like you, and he likes it." Wow. My daughter and I were floored. Then the Sag paneer came. It was literally green gray. Spinach is usually green. We were told we needed to order mild because medium would be too spicy for us. More racial profiling? The Sag was the most bland, flavorless crap I've ever tasted. I think it had been sitting around for a long time. We didn't eat, paid the tab, and left sad and hungry. I don't know what others see in this place. Our experience was gross not to mention racist. We will NEVER be back.

Every one had different dishes so it was consistently bad across the board.
