16 bucks of chicken tikka masala? Ouch.

Awesome decor!
The chicken tikka masala was a little over cooked during the lunch hour. It might be better at dinner.

I love some nice Indian takeout, but the places around me make me feel like Goldilocks- it's never quite right. Too bad I don't live in Olney! Everything at Nirvana was perfection!Butter chicken is a go-to for many people, but it was incredible here. Sweet but complex flavors with perfectly cooked, large pieces of chicken. I feel like chicken tandoori really shows off the cooking ability of the restaurant, and here it was moist with subtle flavors. We also got naan, samosas, paratha, Chana masala, and onion bhajis, and they were all delicious. The takeout containers were clean and organized, and the food was ready quickly. I'll be making some excuses to visit my friend again soon and get more Nirvana!

We've gotten nirvana takeout a couple of times and I can say it's decent but I'm not blown away as some of the other reviews seem to be. In my experience the chicken korma and saag paneer are okay but I'm not going to rush to get them again. Surprisingly my favorite dish so far has been the buttered chicken. I know that's not ground breaking as that seems to be the standard American favorite but they do make one of the better versions that I've had. My husband also likes their chicken biryani. For us, this place hits in a pinch but I wish there were more dishes we were excited about.

First time here, in the door we found it quaint , neat and clean. The staff was verynicexand friendly. We found good menu choices. My ordered the Chicken Tika Masala which her only real complaint was the chicken was huge chunks as we like it cut down more.I ordered the fish massage which was ok, they use salmon and I was expecting a white fish as salmon has a strong flavor and took away from the masala sauce. All in all good food and we will go back.

We came here for a nice birthday lunch and left very happy. We ordered samosas to start which were very good and perfectly cooked. They come with two sauces, a chutney and a green spicy sauce. I prefer the green sauce but both were very good.We ordered the butter chicken, chicken tikka masala and the lamb briyani. Everything was flavorful and cooked perfectly. We also ordered one roti and one naan for the table as no bread comes with the meal which is a bit disappointing. The average cost of entree is $15-18 so a little cheaper the some of the other local places but still a bit high in my opinion. The serving size is a good portion, we definitely had left overs!The interior is very nice and clean, and the service is friendly and quick to help.

This is one of my top 3 Indian restaurants in MD. The food always tastes great and the restaurant offers carryout which is nice. I have ordered different things on the menu and always enjoy whatever I get. If you are in the Olney area, then I highly recommend you visit Nirvana.

Pretty impressed by the food in the small shopping Plaza. My friend ate here the night before and liked it so much she wanted me to try the next day. I got the lamb vindaloo and the meat was extremely tender and the sauce was super flavorful. Pretty reasonable pricing as well for the portions they gave you.The only thing I wish was better was I asked for extra spicy and there was barely any spice in my food. Also they did not give you any bread with the meal. I'm used to having naan on the side.

May be great food but we don't know since delivery time was pushed back multiple times so we finally cancelled. They were good about refund to debit card.

The food was average and the service was bad. It was very hot in the restaurant. Only 2 tables occupied and the other table had ask for a fan. Not impressed at all.
