Food Nirvana - Vegetarian restaurant in Chennai - Chennai, India

I called them on a Saturday to book a table for two and they refused to take any reservations as it was full and they would accept only walk ins. Fair enough! I trusted my luck and went over anyway because my friend had visited them previously and was craving their food. After a short wait time, I was seated at a table I requested. The table was not very clean and so was the menu card. I had to ask for glasses to drink water four time before I actually got it. And the waiter was very rude about it. He never apologized for the wait or lack of service and just had the audacity to say just wait for 2 mins it's busy. Never caught his name but he has an anchor tattoo on his neck! Coming to the food, it was delicious. Everything I had gone for was made to satisfaction and no complaints whatsoever. The AC was leaky. God forbid someone slips on that, it would have been a disaster. But solely based on the service, I don't think I would recommend this place to anyone or visit again myself.

Good Vegetarian food. 3rd time I went and it didn't disappoint me. Liked Panneer Tikka, Tandoori platter, Spicy fried baby corn and Pana Cotta. Parking is available for 2 cars. Valet Parking is also available. Menu is all veg. The average per head cost would be 500 to 600. The ambience is good.

Food: Got pizza roti, phulkas and garlic Naan. The pizza roti was a bit weird, unsure what Indian curry to pair it with. Garlic naan, nice and roasted garlic, must try. Hyderabad panneer: Honesty we were expecting a spicy orange gravy but it was a refreshing, spicy dish. Green gravy had a lot of coriander. So if you are into that you might be into this. 6.5/10 The veg gravy was better, creamy (some sabzi with yellow gravy). It does help that the menu has a brief description of the food. Ambience was good, very neat. Familt and kids friendly. I went at 8, wait time was approx 30 mins. They dont take reservations. Service was fast but they didn't give us plates, there were no tissues. Would definitely visit again to try more dishes; eager to find out what their 'star dish' could be because most that were highlighted, in the menu, as chef recommended were panneer dishes.

If you attain Nirvana, food won't matter. At least that's the understanding. This is part of a set of vegetarian restaurants that have 'Indianised' dishes from multiple cuisines. Food Nirvana has some dedicated fans. The restaurant had quite a few empty tables. But by the time we finished , there were families waiting for a seat. In an adjoining hall, a corporate get together or a team event was underway. At least, that's what it looked like. The Waldorf salad was the appetizer. And the best dish we had. Bits of apple, pineapple, walnuts and papaya. With a generous white sauce. The flavours come together without clashing with each other. The rotis and the spicy cashew paneer gravy was average. The restaurant is not big on decor. It's diner style seating. Strictly utilitarian. And that's what seems to get the patrons comfortable. Food Nirvana may be the goal but right now, it is at the start of a long journey

Have been to this place twice and it has been absolutely amazing both times. One of the best vegetarian only restaurants in Chennai. Whatever we ordered turned out delicious. There will be waiting time during the weekends but worth it. Good place for family gatherings. Valet parking available.

It's nice food.. Homely taste. Gets too crowded if u don't go early on a Sunday. Prices are reasonable.

The unique style of the food was really eye opening. Food tasted really good. The service was quick and nice even during rush hour. Seating should be improved, the chairs are very uncomfortable. The variety of options in the menu is a pleasant change. Pricing is expensive. Good for going on occasions. I recommended you to try this place. You will enjoy it.

Good ambiance. Delicious food. Well behaved staff. If you are in Chennai & searching for a pure veg restaurant, this will be a great choice.
