    Mango Lassi

    One of the best beef samosas I've ever had!! Sad it was my last day or I would've gone back for more. Their mango lassi super delicious! Next time I come back to visit Maui, Nirvana will definitely be on my list. Service was great. Highly recommend!

    Their Masala Dosas and Samosas are super good and pair well with their Tamarind Sauce! Especially love the cilantro inside of the Dosas - if you're looking to find great North and South Indian Cuisine on Maui, Satrang is the place to visit - Miguel Morales Photography

    Masala dose, coconut chutney, rice, and sambhar

    We were craving something different on the island after several days of pizza, pasta, etc. Being vegetarian we came upon all these food trucks in Kihei and loved the prior reviews of Nirvana. My wife and I split the masala dosa and the dosa plate. The dosas were piping hot and light. The sambhar was rich and flavorful and complemented the dosas nicely. We only wish the potatos in the dosas were spicier but that's a personal preference. We'll definitely be back here on our next trip to Maui.

    Walk up order area!

    This is HANDS DOWN the best vegan plate I've had the whole 3 weeks I was in Maui! As a vegan it was very hard to find something delicious HOT and fully vegan but Nirvana took care of me! So much I had to come back before I headed to the airport! Thank you so much for your wonderful customer service and delicious food! I can't wait to get back for some more!

    Being from the Bay area samosas are a dime a dozen this place is spectacular, both the vegetable and beef samosas are the best I've ever had. The sauce for dipping is fruity and wonderful. Well worth the trip to Kihei to find this place in the South Maui gardens all the way back in the corner... Well worth the walk!

    Dosa Masala is very tasty! Love it.

    Satrang Indian Food Truck is located at lovely South Maui Garden! Dosa Masala is very tasty! Love it. Come and enjoy!

    Ordered the two combos - North Indian one that came with choice of 2 out of 3 curries, naan or lemon rice, or half naan half lemon rice.. we got the chicken curry (yummmmy), navratan korma (great but I wish the veggies such as broccoli and cauliflower were cut into smaller pieces) with half naan and half rice. - South Indian one that came with masala dosa, coconut chutney, sambhar, and lemon rice They make the food to order so it took sometime to prepare (maybe 25-30 minutes) but it was sooooooooo worth the wait! DELICIOUS and you can tell it was freshly made! Their food is wayyyyy better than a lot of Indian restaurants in Philadelphia haha I wish I'd come with more time on my hands to really sit and enjoy the food.. unfortunately had a flight in a couple of hours so had to rush. I'm sitting with my piping hot masala chai in hand waiting eagerly to try it.. I'm sure it's awesome. Paid $30 before tip.

    I haven't had Indian food since going to a wedding this summer so it was great to find an Indian food truck right in the heart of Kihei! I also got the chai and the mango drink and the mango drink has rose water in it you can totally taste it it made it taste very "fancy" haha I would definitely recommend coming here and trying a little bit of everything

    Despite being mainly a carnivore, I was blown away by the vegetable curry. Cant go wrong with the rest of the menu either.

    July 16,2023 - Sunday…read more Party of 3 Arrived around 6pm(ish) Restaurant is located in a Hotel/Apartment complex - unsure but I guess it would be a hidden Gem. Didn't know they had a restaurant/bar in that area. Located ocean front on the ground floor - recommend you read the signs on the door since they don't have a huge sign to indicate they're located here. Front door posted their Hours of Operation - when you walk in to the right you'll see a bar area & the hosted stand is steps away. Great views because we were able to catch a beautiful sunset & we did take some I forgot to take a photo of the menu but the items we've ordered can be pictured below. The Naan bread we ordered was a HIT since honestly had 3-orders & it's 4-pieces in each basket. Overall this place was great, would go back.

His service was impeccable and so were his suggestions. Such a quality experience!! The food is clearly made with quality ingredients. From the mango lassi to the butter chicken, samosas, and the naan basket! We loved everything! We devoured absolutely everything, and we would come back from gabe's service alone. Can't wait to come back for a sunset dinner!

    While visiting the area for a running event, I stopped by this restaurant to see what food they had…read moreavailable. Upon entering the restaurant, we enjoyed hearing upbeat music and hubby and I were warmly greeted by an employee named Josh. Hubby informed the employee about his but allergy and the employee said the restaurant was but free except the peanut sauce in one of the menu items. After reviewing the menu, I decided to try their Asian teriyaki chicken rice bowl with nozzarella sticks and hubby ordered their pulled pork fries. In addition to our food, I ordered a Hawaiian sunset to drink which is their version of an Arnold Palmer and hubby ordered a lemonade. As we waited for our food to be ready, we noticed an area with non-food items for sale including glass cup, a shirt, a graphic similar to the on in the restaurant sitting area, and silverware. The nozzarella sticks were crispy on the outside and gooey on the inside and served with a side of marinara sauce. My Asian teriyaki chicken rice bowl was full and filling and I was shocked when I saw it not only contained full baby carrots. The pulled pork fries had the perfect balance of tenderness through the well seasoned pulled pork served on top of crunchy French fries. Since we at inside the restaurant, we appreciated Josh regularly checking in to ask how we were enjoying our meal as well as providing suggestions for other places in the area with vegan or plant based food options. We enjoyed the food, conversation and good vibes with Josh so much that we returned the next day. During our second visit, I ordered a chicken gyro and a crème brûlée which hubby ordered the BRB burger with fries, a side on onion rings, and a slice of avocado toast. Considering we were crunched for time, we took our food to go and similar to our first visit, the food was phenomenal. The chicken gyro was flavorful with several sauces and the onion rings were perfectly crunchy on the outside and the sauces Josh provided were creamy. Hubby's mind was blown away by the presentation of the avo toastie (he said this avocado toast was the best her ever had) and despite not being a big eater of sweets, he thoroughly enjoyed the crème brûlée which was soft and sweet. Given Josh's positive energy as well as creative and delicious food, if you are vegan, vegetarian, or veg-curious, I suggest you walk, not run to Earth Aloha Eats.

My husband and I had the carne asada arepa on our first visit, and today I tried the Pabellón Arepa with shredded beef, black beans, sweet plantains, and cheese. They also offer a house-made chimichurri that takes the flavor to another level. Let me just say--this place puts love into every dish they make. The portions are generous, the prices are very reasonable, and every visit was met with warm, friendly customer service. To finish our meal, my daughter and I shared the coconut and mango slushies, which are made with natural ingredients and were incredibly refreshing. As someone who is Hispanic and pretty picky when it comes to authentic Latin food, I can honestly say this exceeded my expectations. The food is authentic, fresh, and full of flavor. The restaurant also has a charming atmosphere with Venezuelan memorabilia that gives it a warm, welcoming vibe. If you're looking for high-quality Latin food made with care, do yourself a favor and stop by. You won't be disappointed! We will def be back at our next trip - didn't get to try the arepa with chicken, avocado and green salsa. Mahalo Miss Arepa!
