    Chicken Tikka, Chili Chicken, Pepper Chicken
    Tom C.

    I'm pretty much a newbie when it comes to Indian food but I very much enjoyed the lunch I had this week. Wanted to try as much as I could at once so went with 3 meats. Chicken Tikka, Pepper Chicken and Chili Chicken. All meals come with basmati rice and naan, which here means warmed up pita I guess. Each dish had nice flavor and varying degrees of heat with the Tikka being the most tame, but also the most deeply flavored. The line was long but moved at a decent pace and the service was very friendly.

    Variety is the spice of life, and is this spice of life that is missing from Nirvana II. There are plenty of delicious spices in the food, but I went here for lunch and there were two vegetarian choices (paneer chunks or chana) and three meat choices (not three choices of meat, all the meats were chicken, but three choices of sauce for meat). I don't consider the biryani as a separate choice, because flavor wise you are getting biryani or rice. The value is similar to other places in the area, your Mexican or American places have a similar amount of food. I was a bit over stuffed from getting the 3 entree option - I recommend the 2 entree option as being the right amount of food. I enjoyed the flavors of the food but without being cheaper or having more variety they aren't going to break into the upper stratosphere of stars. I also thought the raita (yogurt) was a bit bland plus even asking for two containers I hardly got enough. The naan isn't worth the trouble. It lacks that light fluffiness and felt like it had been stacked under something heavy and absorbed extra moisture. They have the cooking skills, but they didn't make four star choices with the menu. They are another reasonably fast buffet that you can only carry out and they pack the container for you (they are generous enough). Conclusion: if you are nearby then go here, but don't travel out of your way. Find your local supplier. For me that is a place down the street from my home (see my other reviews and you will find it).

    The chicken biryani tasted authentic and flavourful. Had lots of fresh spices. Watch out if you can't handle too much spicy. Make sure you get extra yogurt

    I was very disappointed with the newest addition to the Indian scene uptown, mainly because the food lacks flavor which is just not a good look. The servers were very friendly and allow you to sample what they have before you order. I sampled a few items that were just ok, so I decided to stick with the tikki masala since this was my first visit. Perhaps it was me but as I stated before the food simply lacked flavor and how shameful is it to serve store bought naan?

    Vegetable Curry on top of White Rice with naan (super fluffy and good) and some fried dish with potatos and chickpeas in it.

    This was our 3rd time coming here in the last few months and every time the food has been amazing!…read more We've had both the lamb and chicken and would order it again. The server was very helpful and attentive. The Indian music creates a fun atmosphere to match the flavor of the food. We'll be coming again soon.

    Best restaurant in Charlotte, by far. Flavor packed food. We got: Appetizer - 5 Pieces Pakora (like…read morespicy chicken nuggets). I liked the 2 sauces that came with it. Chicken Tikka Kebab. Came in a cast iron pan. Not too spicy, good for my 12 yo son. Butter chicken (not too spicy) Special Hyderabadi Chicken Dum Biryani some pieces of chicken on top, then a large amount of delicious rice then slow cooked dark meat fall off the bone chicken at the bottom. Huge portion. Special Hyderabadi Goat Dum Biryani was amazing as well. Both of those dishes do not have sauce. So, we ordered 2 tikki masala sauces on the side. 2 Large gravy boats of sauce. This was my favorite part of the meal. I poured it on everything. Creamy, similar to the butter chicken sauce but a little spicier. 1 Garlic Naan 1 Butter Naan We should have gotten 2 garlic naans instead. Best Naan we've had in a while. Freshly made. Service was awesome. Restaurant is brand new and clean. We moved here from the west coast where there are tons of Indian food restaurants and have been on the search for a good one. Found it!!! Better than Blue Taj IMO. This family moved here a year ago from the west coast and had a restaurant there. This restaurant is a hidden gem! Near the home depot in promenade shopping center. So glad we tried it.

    Was in the mood for Indian food. Since I've seen quite a few reviews on social media, my husband…read moreand I decided to try this place out. We started with an order on samosas which were really good and they had a nice kick. We did chicken biryani and the nalan special curry and naan bread. Everything was really good and packed with flavor. Will definitely return! Tara was our waitress a d was really nice!

    Loved this restaurant!…read more First off, location is great - I feel like Indian food was missing on the map in this area and Nalan is a great addition. We tried a couple of their appetizers (chicken was recommended by the staff), and we loved it. Flavorful and well cooked. They custom made fried rice for my kids (if you've been following my reviews you'd know my kids love their rice at the restaurants), and fried rice was so tasty - my husband and I couldn't help ourselves from eating their rice. Chicken curry was delicious too - well balanced spices. My husband asked for high spice level on Dal and they delivered, it was yummy! My toddler loved the garlic naan and downed a good portion of it - yay! Their tamarind whisky sour was yum yum! My only complain is the service of appetizers. We requested papad for a quick bite and they didn't deliver until the brought rest of the appetizers. On our second order of papad again, they came so late we had to turn it down. But manager at duty took note of it and acknowledged the delay (that's a sign of a great service, hence a 5 star). Overall a good find for us - we will be back.
