A Family Tradition Since 1982

“It smells great as soon as you walk through the door. The drinks were great and the food was delicious! Our waiter Bosco was so accommodating and helpful. Definitely a must-do for vegetarians looking for a great meal in New Orleans.”

“The atmosphere was excellent. The art is beautiful. The service was impeccable. Our server, Sherwyn, took care of our every need. We are avid Indian food lovers, and I have to say that this was one of the best we’ve ever had. EVERYTHING was delicious.”

“Deliciously wonderful! Located in a great location, Magzine Street. have not had a proper curry since I lived in the UK and since my trip to India as well. We ordered a variety of dishes. I highly recommend this restaurant and I plan on returning each time I visit New Orléans. I loved it, Indian is something I search for on all my travels. If you have not had any yet, make this your first experience.”

“Having visited all of the restaurants the Keswani family has had over the years, I have always enjoyed the foods, the friendly atmosphere and the comfort you are surrounded with. I feel like part of the family. It’s an experience worth the visit.”

“The food is amazing and suited to everyone’s taste and spice level (You tell them how spicy you like it!). Authentic and on-point flavor differing so much from curry to curry. The service was even better than the food!! Our waiter Raj was amazing and made us all feel like we were guests in HIS home!

“Double date went well. The vibe is immaculate, food is flavorful (they give the option to choose spice level!) and last but not least our server Sherwyn was helpful and outgoing. Large vegetarian selection!!!”

“Nirvana was such a spectacular delight! Everything from the beautiful ambiance, the spectacular customer service– our waiter, Sherwyn, was phenomenal– and, most importantly, the food. Highest quality, unbelievably delicious, and given the prices, the large portions blew me out of the water. I have a new favorite spot in New Orleans!”

“First time at Nirvana and the food and service were spectacular. My new favorite Indian restaurant in New Orleans! We ordered the Bombay wings as an appetizer, onion stuffed naan (amazing) and the Flag of India and the Nirvana special – spice level “hot.” With 3 different items per dish, it served as a sort of a mini buffet sampler. I couldn’t pick my favorite!”

“Nirvana is a gem! The ambiance truly transports you to India, with vibrant colors and stunning artwork by a local muralist. Our server, Sherwyn, was outstanding, attentive, knowledgeable, and made excellent recommendations. The food is so good that I forgot to take pictures; it’s a sensory delight, bursting with flavor!”

“We just had a very enjoyable meal at Nirvana. We ordered amply and considered all of the dishes good and some of them GREAT! The ambiance is fun and the decor is on point. Perhaps the best was the service — Bosco took care of us and was excellent”

“Absolutely the best Indian food in New Orleans. Always really good deals. My server, Shurmyn, was the best host and provided the best service by far. I recommend the Curry, Tikka Masala, and the Chicken Tikka Masala!”

“I have been dying to try this restaurant and it did not disappoint! I grew up eating authentic Indian food and where I live, there isn’t any. Finally got to try Nirvana and the food and service were great! Sherwyn, our server, did a great job of suggesting items if you’re a first-timer.”

“Wow, nothing less than a 10/10 experience. The staff here was incredible, the food was incredible, and Sherwyn was outstanding. For my first time having real authentic Indian food, this was AMAZING.”
