A vegetarian intercontinental restaurant , If in Jodhpur do not miss it. The food choice is very good and the view of the fort is wonderful . It is the best place to take pictures of the Fort .

Nirvana is a good choice if you need to get away from the hustle and bustle of the market and want to enjoy a nice and quiet meal. The room has very interesting and colourful wall paintings. Food was decent, service took a while.

I had the misfortune of arriving shortly after a tour group of about 20 people, and it took 1.5 hours (or "15 minutes" as promised by the manager) before being finally served. The food was nice but far from spectacular, contrary to what a popular travel guide might make you believe. Nice and convenient location with great views of Meherangar... More

This town has a very congested Old City and to find a place where a traveler can relax and enjoy a good meal is rare. I was lucky that a fellow traveler direct me to this restaurant. The restaurant is on top of what looks like a temple of a sort. The terrace has a clear view of the fort.... More

I'm actually kind of surprised to see any negative reviews. We came here 3 times during our stay in Jodhpur and I rarely do repeats on vacation. Especially considering we stayed at Raas Haveli, which was really hard to leave ... it's such a beautiful property. The food here was delicious... very fresh vegetables and had a great depth of...

We ordered the thali to share. It really was good, if a little pricey, and the dal especially was probably the best we have had in india. However, 2 hours later my girlfriend was violently sick. I thought I had escaped, but later that evening it caught up with me too. The only other food we ate that day was... More

As the previous reviews i much agreed with it. Location is very crowdy centre of the local market food is ok better to ask about the dish which you are going to have sometimes it's very different that we guess for that dish overall it's a comfort cafe only after 8 pm in the evening.

I've been in this restaurant in November 2012. This place looks quite nice as in the lower floor restaurant they have a room filled with paintings. They have a roof top restaurant looking on a side of the Mehrangarh fort and the slowers service among the worst thali I had in whole India. If I go to a restaurant I... More

We ate here two years ago and had a nice dinner with friends but this year my husband ordered chow mein but it was not very good, sour tasting, but the spring rolls were alright. We did not eat here again. I'm sure that their Indian food is most likely much better.

We visited the Nirvana Restaurant during our recent trip to Jodhpur. While we greatly enjoyed the museum like room they have lined wall to wall with lovely pictures, we had mixed feelings about the food and would probably go with a different restaurant next time around. On the evening, we ordered the Dum Aloo (140 rupee or US$2.38) that was... More
