Chaotic, disorganised and left customers waiting in the hallways and bar while overbooking tables. Had really wanted to try this place, but unfortunately won't be going back.

Restaurant has lost all its early promise. Food has none of the subtlety of flavour that was there when it opened and was not particularly well cooked or presented. Service was poor with totally unacceptable gaps between courses. It feels like there has been a complete change of staff and management. I would now completely withdraw my October review. A very disappointing experience!

The meal was excellent, the flavours and the service was excellent, I do suggest the black cod and the beef, a true hidden gem in Marylebone.

The professional staff warmly welcomed my friend and I to Nirvana Kitchen as it opened at 12:00, took our coats and invited us to choose our table (the restuarant was very quiet). The menu was small but varied and included several intriguing dishes. The wine list was more extensive but also included attractive options. Throughout our meal the staff were attentive, knowledgeable and unobtrusive. We took advantage of the 50% off OpenTable offer from dishes from the a la carte menu and were delighted by the presentation of and flavours in the food. I heartily recommend Nirvana Kitchen, especially with the OpenTable offer.

We went for a early 3 course meal after a hectic day shopping and we had a fabulous time. The meal was excellent value and was top quality as was the service. The tomato appetiser we had when selecting our choices was a lovely touch, and we all enjoyed all three courses. The portions were appropriate and you could savor the flavours and different textures without being overfull. My chocolate pudding was amazing and my friends said the dessert with Saki was the best they had had ! The relaxed surroundings and airy dining room was a bonus and I would definitely go there again.

THe worst service. It took at least 30mins before we could order and we had to argue about the special offer we booked as they didn't want to honour it. The food was good and priced reasonably in the set menu. However à la carte was overpriced.

This was expected to be a great evening however, failed miserably. We were sat in the back of the restaurant near the fireplace (which was not on) it was cold in this room and we were ignored most of the evening. This was a special occasion for a friends' birthday and fell well below par of what is expected of this acclaimed restaurant especially that which is located in a hotel. We had several waiters/waitresses attend to us and the lack of communication between them was shocking. We were there to enjoy an evening with a nice meal not have to repeat ourselves to the waiting staff. Our drink order was taken about 15 minutes after we sat down and we had to wait a further 20 minutes to receive the same. We placed our order for starters and they were brought out one at a time and by the time the last person in our party received hers the person that got theirs first had finished. We wanted to eat together therefore made a request our mains be served together. When our main course eventually arrived there were items missing from what we had ordered, some dishes were cold and incorrect. We ordered the salmon and were given seabass. When we questioned this the manager insisted that it was salmon and not white fish. After we argued the point he reluctantly admitted we were given the chilean seabass not the Salmon. The dish was replaced as we neared the end of our main course. We were so hungry by this point that we just ate the food. In all honesty the food was nice but the whole experience was disappointing and unacceptable. We sat at our table at 6:30pm and did not leave until 10pm. This was not because were having a great time but due to lack of effective service. Whilst we were offered free drinks and some of the items removed from the bill it certainly did not make up for the ordeal.The staff need to be trained on how to effectively communicate with each other and up the level of service providing the diners with good efficient service.

The mains were tastier and better than the starters. Introduce more vegetarian options.

Exceptional value for money with the 'early diner' offer! We received a very warm welcome, service was good throughout and, best of all, the food was excellent, as well as being adventurous. We could not have asked for more, 10/10 all round. Nothing to criticise!
