Great little family run restaurant, cozy and GREAT food!!! I travel quite a bit for work so I have many options and opportunities to try food all over the world. Indian food is easy to mess up but Nirvana got it right! I had the Chicken Tikka Curry with a cheese Naan and Mango Lassi. The curry was the perfect thickness, not like oatmeal but not like soup either, a happy compromise between. Thick chunks of grilled chicken were delicious to scoop with the cheesy naan bread I ordered. I would say the mango lassi was different than the other yogurt drinks I’ve had at Indian restaurants. It was a little sweet and sour than I’d prefer but perhaps that is because the brand of yogurt they use in Korea is much different than other countries. The atmosphere is very inviting from the moment you are greeted walking through the door. The gentle ambience feels like a separate world from the view out of the second story windows down to the bustling souvenir street shops of Insadong. Highly recommend, especially because the owners take interest and concern over your individual dining experience to make certain you are happy...
