The Nirvana Restaurant Bar Lounge Nirvana has become one of the regular College St. haunts. The handcrafted wooden benches, vintage lamps, chandeliers, and buddhist inspired wall decor emit a cool ambience where one can relax and enjoy a pleasant meal.
With its chilled Buddhist décor and relaxed vibe, this College and Bathurst hangout is a local favourite for meeting friends, catching up over brews or a post-bar fuelling of grilled cheese and fries on a Saturday night. But Nirvana also boasts a pad Thai that will give a traditional Thai restaurant a run for its money – choose from chicken, tofu or tiger shrimp, tossed with just the right amount of tamarind and crunch.
Nirvana keeps things simple with its sangria, mixing red wine with orange and cranberry juice, a selection of fresh fruit and ginger ale. Perfectly balanced, Nirvana serves sangria in pint glasses, which are on special for $4.75 Sundays.
