"The food here is always delicious!! I love the Palak Paneer and Garlic Naan, and my daughter loves the Vegetable Samosas and Chicken Tikka Masala! We have enough for leftovers tomorrow! Yum! "
"I've been going to Mahan ever since I moved to the area three years ago. Since then, it's become my go-to when I'm looking to celebrate with a deeply fulfilling meal or eat something comforting. I'd eat anything off their menu every day if I could afford it honestly- delicious af. Appreciate all the care the team there puts into their craft and welcoming service! It's especially rewarding visiting in person on a night out in Old Town Monrovia."

"we've ordered from curryland around 10x so far. once time they forgot the rice but that's about all the negatives. their food is amazingly flavorful, packs a punch with just the right seasonings and so, so hearty. they haven't raised their prices after COVID and they don't skimp out on sides. absolutely 10/10. order their food and try it for yourself. they need more recognition!"
"I ordered the 16 oz. because I wanted a larger portion of chicken Chicken Tikka Masala it was all sauce with 10 peices of chicken chunks in it.. I had sooo much sauce that my large portion of rice is swimming in it.. kinda disappointed 10 chunks of chicken for 17 bucks.."

" Nirvana is hands down our favorite Indian restaurant. Whether we're dining in and enjoying their refreshing IPA or having it delivered for a cozy Friday night at home, the food never disappoints. Our go-to dishes are the Tikki Masala, coconut curry, and saag paneer, each packed with rich flavors and perfect seasoning. The quality is consistently high, whether you’re eating in or taking out, making it a must-visit for anyone craving authentic Indian cuisine. Highly recommend! "
"If you like Indian food, but more mild in spice and flavor, this may be a good choice. I’m white… but seems more targeted for white people. I’ve only had it this once, so this may not be a review that represents the restaurant well. Not the worst I’ve had. It was still pleasant. I’d give it a 2.5. Not bad, but I don’t plan to come back. Price doesn't match the quality, in my experience. Sag Paneer. Bland. I’d recommend requesting more than 4 small pieces of paneer for $20. Reddest Tikki Masala I’ve ever had. Comes with sauce and the meat. If you like it medium spicy or more, I’d recommend asking for it to be spicier than standard. White meat was drier than prefer. My little girl who is more dramatic about when food is too spicy for her tastes wanted more flavor, so she salted it. It was still pleasant for me to eat."

"ELEGANT BUTTER CHICKEN VEGGY SAMOSA Basmati Rice The food was phenomenal. You are paying for high quality food, and they do deliver that experience. The only complaint is the rice.

"probably my favorite place to get sugarcane juice. was so stoked to find out they deliver. their drinks always taste like they use fresh sugacane stalks instead of the frozen ones"
"I got Pennywort Coconut Sugarcane as it was on buy 1 get 1 free deal, and the taste of this drink was horrible, wasn't sweet and doesn't taste like sugarcane or cocunut. It more taste like I was drinking cucumber juice which is yuck. They added way too much ice in the drink so by the time I got it, it tasted horrible. I also ordered Fresh Sugarcane juice as welll and this was alright, but due to too much Ice in it, juice was too watered down. Its disgusting. Didn't feel fresh or refreshing. For the prices I didn't find its worth. I had high hopes from place called Fresh sugarcane and there is no sugarcane or its freshness in their drinks. I will not order again from here, there is a place in Haven city, they make fresh sugarcane juice right in front of you, I will be going there instead."

"I ordered Boneless Catfish Curry / ငါးခူမွှေချက်, The food tastes delicious, extremely oily but delicious (I have to scoop out the excess oil) but for the amount their meat quantity is less. They don't give side of rice or anything either. I am a regular customer here and all their food is delicious but pricing is too expensive, they should add more meat and provide side of rice with their dishes. Or else its not a complete meal and its ridiculous to order rice or tortilla on side for extra money. There Burmese Milk Tea / လက်ဖတ်ရည်is delicious, this is a must with my orders. Only complaint I have with this is they don't pack it well, there is always a spillage and cup is always half full empty, should be full. I will be more happy and satisfied if they provide side of rice with their currys. Otherwise this place is excellent, I am in love with their food."
