Nirvana is one of the nicer Indian buffets in Houston. I came by back in September to try their lunch buffet. The service is quick and the food is refilled quite often. They have the usual fare that you expect from an Indian buffet but what really impressed me is the fact that they had an assortment of salads, chutneys, and pakoras. There was also a large variety of chicken and a goat curry dish. Several types of rice available including biryani. Most surprising was the Indo-Chinese food that they had. I liked all the desserts that they had to offer. I forgot to take any pics while I was here because I was super hungry. Note to self: Parking can be a little tricky. Get early or time it correctly.

Discovering the best Indian restaurant in Houston was an absolute delight. From the moment I stepped through the doors, I knew I was in for an enjoyable culinary experience and was not disappointed. Each dish was excellent, whether it was the buttery naan bread or the fragrant biryani. What truly set this establishment apart was not just the exquisite flavors of their dishes but also the warmth and hospitality of their staff.Thank you, guys!

I ordered on Uber Eats and loved every moment with the meal. The ambiance is quite nice and the staff was accommodating and answered my questions.

With an extensive variety of dishes laid out on the buffet table, there are plenty to choose from to meet all your Indian dishes needs, here at Nirvana.We came in a Friday afternoon for the lunch buffet, 20 minutes after they opened. There was only one other table here, but the food looked promising and plentiful. There are around 15 main entrée dishes to choose from, including chicken tikka masala, tandoori chicken, goat curry, fish curry, chicken kebab, daal, cabbage, aloo gabi, palak paneer, kadhi pakora, pakora, okra, green beans with other veggies, lamb biriyani, chicken biriyani and two other rice dishes. See? Plentiful right??Unfortunately, there were only a few dishes that really stood out to me - the palak paneer and the yellow vegetable curry. The paneer was some of the best I've had and the Kadhi pakora was something I've never had before. It was a pakora dunked in a spiced yogurt sauce, with the sauce being sour but super flavorful. The rice dishes were all good, but nothing special. The tikka chicken masala had too much tomato flavor for my taste, making it overly sour. The daal was pretty good. The okra and veggie dishes were lackluster in flavor.Dessert included watermelon, rice pudding, carrot halva and gulab jamun.The waitstaff was extremely attentive and almost immediately cleared our old plates the entire meal. The cost of the lunch buffet was $21.50, which I thought was pretty steep, but there was a good variety of food.Overall, can't say I'd be back here but it definitely was not a bad experience!

Well here I am in Texas eating again lol . I've definitely had some amazingly good food while I have been here . Indian foodWas on my list of things to try while I was visiting and this place was close to where we had just finished our relaxing massages. We were here as soon as they opened up at 5:30pm . No one was in the restaurant except us for just a little bit. The inside is very nice and pleasing to the eye with tables and linens for fine dining. Our waiter was friendly and helpful since I have never tried Indian food and made some excellent suggestions. I only wish I lived in Texas now to be able to return sooner . I want to personally thank Hossain our waiter for all he did to make this a memorable experience . I will definitely come again soon

This is a cautious, but happy 3.5 review that I rounded up to four stars. My friends said they love it hear and you know I am all about Indo/Pakistani food. We unfortunately came during a time that the buffet wasn't open, which is what they wanted us to experience. I know I would like to come back with the buffet open to update the review and add that element. Now for the negative, I have had better palak paneer and samosas elsewhere, but they were by no means gross or uneatable. It's just when you taste amazing samosas and palak paneer, you kinda judge every other dish to that. The appetizers - my friend ordered what felt like for a table of 12 - were really good. I think if I had not been so full, I would have enjoyed it more. Their garlic nan is on a whole other level. It's like bread garlic butter goodness. It's on the thinner side too, but it still has the yummy, comfort food effect to it because it's garlic naan. The service here was amazing. We had such a lovely waitress who even advised my friend not to over order - but he was stubborn and we told her not to worry about him. We all thought she did an amazing job. The only thing that worried me was how empty the place seemed.Looking at the reviews, it seems like this place is mostly active during the buffet hours, which is good. Is just I hate to see nice restaurants not have patrons, you know. I definitely want to come back and experience this place in its fullness. It's a nice little gamble, that I think everyone should take.

The buffet is worth the trip and worth the price. A thoughtfully curated mix of South Asian and Asian food the honey chicken is just as marvelous as the saag paneer. The service is excellent as well.

Nirvana was our go to Indian restaurant. The place has always been clean and tidy. The food used to be really tasty with a lot of flavour and the right amount of spice. Last week we went for lunch to try the buffet and were really disappointed. The place is still very clean and options are plenty, however all the food tasted bland. Not sure if they changed the cook, recipes or decided to appeal to broader group of people that prefer something tasteless.We will definitely give it another try in the future as we really liked this place before, but for now we plan on taking a break and trying out different Indian places.

I am not an expert in Indian food, but the chicken in all the dishes I tried was very dry. It was also a dish with goat that was mostly bones. The dishes with veggies need improvement. But, in general the flavor was good. The service was excellent and the waitstaff was very attentive. In conclusion for the price it is okay.
