    Great falafel, tandoori chicken gyro, and butter chicken. Really nice owners. I am going to go here once per week.

    Best falafel that I've had in a long time. Friendly, clean, helpful staff. Try it, you won't be disappointed.

The food is truly innovative; this isn't your typical Indian restaurant. Every dish challenges your taste buds in the best way possible, with layers of flavor and thoughtful combinations that keep you excited for the next bite. We recently enjoyed a cocktail infused with saffron--so unique and beautifully balanced. It paired perfectly with our dishes: the jumbo prawn (a must-try!) and the duck, which my husband loved. The cocktail program here is incredibly imaginative and truly elevates the whole experience. The staff is consistently engaging and attentive, making each visit feel personal and memorable. As Woodstock residents, we're so happy to see Nirvana becoming a real staple in the community. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a special meal that's both comforting and wonderfully adventurous.

Tucked away at the corner of Deming St and Mill Hill Rd in Woodstock, NY, Nirvana is exactly what the name promises- it's a calm, sensory bliss, has warm lighting and a slight Indian spice in the air. Then there's the food. The tandoori shrimp came out sizzling hot with perfect charred edges, the garlic naan was tasty but it was the truffle naan that brought the fire. The real showstopper was my cardamom+saffron+ passion fruit cocktail full of tropical attitude. Service was great. I mean- they move like they're reading your mind: our plates were cleared, drinks refreshed, all before we even asked. Listen, Woodstock may be known for its music, but Nirvana's got its own rhythm.

From stepping inside, you're given the allure of entering someone's home but greeted with a minimalistic, modern restaurant atmosphere. Service was A+ and the food even better! We ordered the garlic naan, chicken tikka masala (spicy) and lamb vindaloo (spicy) - all were stellar! The masala almost tasted like vodka sauce which was a first for me and I'm NOT complaining. Some of the best I've ever had, to be honest. Will be going back, for sure.

The tradeoff though is that sometimes these places just aren't very good. Indian Masala has a ton of great reviews so maybe I DID just come on an off day, but in my experience, these restaurants often get inflated positive feedback because the patrons just don't have perspective/experience to compare it to (the Hunterdon comp is Bamboo House in Frenchtown, which is very average but is literally the only sushi place must residents have ever been to). I genuinely don't know what the case is here. I stopped by for lunch yesterday with one of my top-tier chums, herself a native of the Kingdom of Sussex. She's a pretty big fan of this place and has mentioned it several times before. We both had pretty big appetites and were ready for a hearty meal. Comparatively speaking, the interior is a little on the bougie side especially for downtown Newton - high-class chairs, sleek tables, etc. I don't think there were any other customers in there when we showed up so we got our pick of the seating and I happily chose the table in the window for potential people watching outside. The highlight for me was the Gobi Manchurian app, which was fried cauliflower florets in a garlic sauce. I thought a few of the florets were overcooked/soggy but overall it was pretty decent - it tasted to me almost like healthy Chinese food, if that makes sense. If we didn't have legit entrees looming on the horizon, I would have had a lot more of that. The Chicken Tikka Masala was literally the worst I've ever had, and probably the only negative experience I've had with the dish. I'm by no means an Indian cuisine expert, but this to me is one of the more mainstream "Americanized" dishes and thus rare to mess up. The chicken was rubbery and dry and definitely wasn't helped by the accompanying curry. I got mild, but this was so mild to render it almost tasteless; it should have at least a little nip to it, but this was so rough that I chose to eat my accompanying naan bread naked without dipping it. Just a gigantic miss in my book and I'd recommend to any future customers that you opt for at least medium spice here. The service was hard to describe and ultimately a wash for me. In many ways it was technically a positive. Our waitress was very attentive but our interactions were a little awkward/odd, much of which can likely be chalked up to cultural barriers so I don't see a need to ding them for it. But as an example, any time my water glass was 80% full, she'd swoop in to fill it all the way to the top - literally the water level would hover right at the edge of the glass so I had to be careful not to spill when I took the next few sips. And once or twice she came by to fill up my chum's glass while I literally was drinking from mine, and she just stood there like a vulture until I placed the glass back on the table so she could swoop in. Especially given that my water was never close to even halfway empty, it was just too aggressive. But it came from a good place so your mileage may vary. Little odd all the way around. As much as I love to highlight restaurants in this area, this one is a pass for me. Much better options for Indian food closer to the city.

We tried the vegetable Manchurian and it was so good. Outside of India this is the first time I loved the Manchurian so much. Paneer ke shole was great. It never disappoints. Palak Patta chaat was delicious too. Super crispy and fresh. For the main course, we had malai kofta super creamy and yum. Their dal tadka is simple yet so flavorful. Naan - soft and buttery. Hakka noodles - perfect. It's so difficult to find Hakka noodles with less oil and this was just perfect. Overall wonderful experience with a family of 8 adults and 2 infants.

    Tamarind delivers excellent Indian cuisine with rich flavors and beautifully prepared dishes…read more Everything we tried was fresh, well-spiced, and clearly made with care. The interior is especially impressive--stylish, modern, and warmly lit with dim lighting that creates a relaxed, upscale dining atmosphere that's perfect for a date night or quiet dinner. That said, a couple small things knocked it just shy of five stars. The parking lot is a bit awkwardly shaped and not the easiest to navigate, and on a colder day the dining area felt a little drafty, which took away slightly from the otherwise cozy vibe. Overall, the food and ambiance absolutely make Tamarind worth visiting, and with just a few comfort tweaks, this would easily be a 5-star spot. Would definitely return.

It's the best thing I've seen and the smell of the rice is very fragrant, very aromatic! The ambiance of the location itself is cute and very clean. Ran by a couple that prepares all the food from-scratch, including the Mango Lassi. The beverage tasted like it was made not even 5 minutes before I got there, it felt like biting into a mango. I also purchased masala chai tea to brew at home. They also sell fresh okra and curry leaves to cook with- unheard of around this ares outside of farm stands. For anyone with allergies or dietary restrictions, they said everything is kept kosher and halal, no shared bakeware for meats and vegetable dishes.

I order the butter chicken, chicken Marsala, plain naan and a mango drink they made in house. The two chicken entrees seemed more on the watery side than a gravy consistency. They were also more on the bland side with the say flavor other than that the spices were spicing lol. The mango drink was definitely delicious it was like a mango yogurt but more liquidity. I didn't get to take photos I should've did that. And also I bought a Coca Cola in the glass bottle and it wasn't a screw off so I wasn't able to bring it due to me not having a bottle opener nor did they offer to take it off for me.
