Review Nirvana Restaurant - Darwin

At a loose end .. looking for somewhere to have a bite to eat and can across this little gem. I like Asian style food and curries .. so was happy. Tandoori chicken was ok .. not the best I've ever had .. the Jungle Curry was awesome .. almost too much. Called off with a couple of beers from the local One Mile Brewery .. a good find. The service and speed that the food came out with was also excellent.

This place is filled with character! Great food as well. Staff were really nice. We were told the building predates cyclone tracy(which is very impressive) and it shows. Cool live music venue!

This restaurant has super kind, friendly and helpful staff. The interior was a lovely surprise and there are several sections with a different metaphor. Ours gave us plenty of privacy and opportunity to chat and share plates. We were hanging out for greens and fresh veggies and our meals had plenty of those. We ordered a Pinot Grigio from Venezia which proved pleasant drinking. Definitely a place to visit whilst in Darwin.

Very impressed... Nice live music, very chilled atmosphere and the best Irish Coffee cocktail I have ever tasted. Even If you visit just for that cocktail it is worth it. Staff was extremely friendly and helpful with selections.

Rain (I’m sorry if I spelt this wrong!) served us and she was so incredible. I am a bartender myself and was so so impressed with her. All the staff were absolutely lovely and helpful however she was our main server so I’m passing on my praise. P.S. food is delicious !! Thank you!

After having friends tell us about how great this place was we were sorely let down. Although all the staff were very friendly, the service was slow and we were left for long enough while waiting for our mains that we felt forgotten about even though the place wasn't even half full. No checking in for more drinks - just sitting there with empty plates and glasses for about half an hour. The food itself was really disappointing, really bland and tasteless. Hands down the worst food we've had whilst living in Darwin for the past year, better stick to the weekend markets for delicious Asian meals and save your money. In addition to all this this soundtrack of YMCA and other 80s classics really lowered what otherwise would have been a beautiful vibe and intimate setting. All together a total let down and unfortunately we will not be returning. The attached Smoke and Oak bar has some good live music and good atmosphere. Better to stick there and avoid the dining experience.

Welcomed to the restaurant by a lovely lady that was more than welcoming to a new place. Drinks were great and served very quickly. Food also upto a very good standard. Everyone serving had a smile on their faces and tried to make every request possible. Great meal Thankyou

We were 4 people so we tried a bit of everything and none of us were disappointed, everything was very good, i would definitely go back. I recommend the beef of massaman and you have to try their sangria either the white or red one they were both very good. thank you
