Q: This is the closest I can get to good Filipino food like they do it in Hawaii. FRIED SILET, FRIED SILET, FRIED SILET!!! Now i'm not one to eat crazy things like liver, tripe, chicken blood or a baby chicken...but I will eat fried intestines. Sorry I know this sounds horrible but it's so good. The sari sari is delicious too. Almost as good as my dad's which I get every week. The Lechon Special is not oily or too crispy. I ate my fair share of all these dishes and then some. I had waited about 6 months to come here, and it was certainly worth the weight!!! I loved it! The restaurant decor could use a little help...ok maybe a lot of help. And it's kind of weird that they have this big screen tv in the middle of the restaurant, The server was friendly and had the island character. I almost felt like I was back in Waipahu.

Q: My husband and I were craving Indian food and our "go-to" place was not open for lunch. We remembered a friend of ours telling us about Cafe Nirvana so we decided to check it out. My husband and I were not greeted as we entered the restaurant, nor were we even acknowledged for several minutes. Finally, one of the three workers seated us. Having never been to Cafe Nirvana, we did not know that we could just help ourselves to the buffet. A worker brought us two waters, but did not ask if we wanted anything else to drink. I asked another worker if the buffet was the only option and she said that we could also order from the menu. However, no menu was ever brought to us. Buffet it is! My husband went first, as I had to stay with our little one. He returned, telling me to make sure I got a clean plate, as some of them had food particles on them. He hardly had any food on his plate. When I asked him why, he said that there was not much food on the buffet. When I went up to get my food, several of the dishes were empty. We had to ask for chicken tikka masala at least three times before it was brought out. Several other patrons in the restaurant appeared to be upset about this as well as other issues including dirty glasses, old-tasting naan and the restaurant not honoring a coupon. Oh, and I forgot to mention that one of the workers had her two children at work with her. They were running around the restaurant, going outside, and playing with the food on the buffet. What little food that was on the buffet was also being served to the worker's kids. When we went to pay for our meals, we were told that we had to wait 5-10 minutes because the computer was down! What food we did get to eat tasted good, but the service was unbelievably horrible! My husband and I will NOT be going back!!

Q: I work in Carnegie and passed this joint on a regular basis, so I decided to get some takeout. I sat down around 12:30, ordered the Udon - a relatively simple dish with noodles and veggies.... they didn't have it ready until 1:15.

Q: Love the way Tracy cuts and colors my hair! She listens to what you want and will do whatever it is, but she's not afraid to tell you something isn't a good idea either and why. Wendy usually does my nails but is out for medical reasons so Toni does great work in her absence. Couldn't be happier here!!
