Nirvana Indian Cuisine

We tried their lunch buffet on a weekday, its $20 per person. They have plenty of dishes if you like chicken, but no much options for vegetarians. Wish they had vegetarian options. It would be great if they can add samosa & 1 paneer dish to the buffet (will come back and rate it 5 stars).

Do not order any paneer dish because you will have to do a rescue mission to find the missing paneer I order matar paneer yesterday. It tasted good. Today I ordered paneer tikka which was ok. However both orders had so little paneer pieces in it. Other things I ordered from here were tasty.

The WORST indian restaurant ever. And possibly one of the worst restaurants in GENERAL I've ever been to. The lady owner has discriminated me from the rest of the other customers. I went in by myself, to eat the lunch buffet after work on a weekday, and I noticed right away, her attitude was just off putting and made it clear to me, that she did NOT want to talk to me at all. For some reason! Now, I'm assuming the worst here. But it most likely has to do with the fact that I'm east asian and she probaly does not like us! Which honestly, I can understand. But if you live In Arcadia which is predominantly Chinese/Taiwanese residents and maybe she personally has experienced a lot of rudeness from the community or whatever. But even so, you still shouldn't act like that towards a stranger and especially, a CUSTOMER. I just simply went to eat at their establishment, to enjoy a nice indian buffet. Which is one of my favorite food and they somehow did not want my company there at all! Did I mention it was my first time there? She proceeds to talk to the other tables and asks them, "how is your food?", "do you need more water?", but then walks past my table and ignores me! If that's not some sort of discriminating behavior in 2024, then I don't know what's going on with her? I really wanted to ask her and confront her about this, but for some reason, something told me it's best just to eat your last crumbs on the dish and pay and just leave. It would've been a waste of time and breathe. That's the vibes I just picked up from the situation. I respectfully said "thank you" every time and still showed my respectful mannerisms that I was taught since I was a child from my household. I even asked her, "is it ok if I can get more napkins?" and she proceeds to just have this straight stale face without saying a word and goes to the kitchen and then brought back some napkins for me! Wow! Amazing customer service people, am I right?! The food was not even worth mentioning. For AYCE lunch, it came out to be $20 just for a very small selection of repetitive rice, curry, tiki masala chicken, and about 2 other dishes, along side with the 2 rice putting dessert and what seems to be some kind of home made salad. The food by itself, I would give a 1 star rating for bland taste and not being worth the price. There was also a lot of standing around and simply looking towards customer's tables. I noticed it while eating and it's one of those uncomfortable moments you get where someone is staring at you while eating! Once again, just amazing customer service they have there... Never will I come back here and so should you! I'm not a picky eater/person and as a food lover, I can assure you to stay away from this sad place. --------------------------------------------------------------------- ***Wasted my money and felt discriminated and heard absolutely NOTHING. NO WORDS from the so called "server". Not even a "you're welcome". AMAZING. GOING SOMEWHERE ELSE IN PASADENA NEXT TIME. *****
