If you love discovering new flavours, Curry Nirvana in Viman Nagar is a must-visit. This restaurant is bringing the real taste of South Indian curries to Pune. And no, we’re not talking about idli, dosa or sambar.
Curry Nirvana dives deep into the regional cuisines of Tamil Nadu, Kerala and Coastal Karnataka. These are dishes that most people in Pune have never tasted before. That’s why they offer a tasting platter of 12 different curries and 3 types of rice—in small portions—before you decide what to order.
It’s a brilliant way to explore the variety without feeling lost.
Here’s what we tried:
Veg Chettinad Curry with Kerala Parotta
This is a bold, pepper-heavy curry from Tamil Nadu. The colour is dark—almost black—because of roasted onions and ground spices. It has a slow punch of black pepper that hits the throat after a few bites. The curry had carrots, beans, and potatoes. We paired it with a flaky, layered Kerala Parotta, and it was a perfect match. If you enjoy bold flavours, this one is for you.
Yellow Coconut Chicken Curry with Appam
This dish is creamy and mellow. The base is fresh coconut milk, with light spices and curry leaves. The chicken is tender and juicy. It is recommended to eat with Appam, a soft hoppers-style pancake that soaks up the curry beautifully. This curry is gentle, comforting, and absolutely delicious.
Tamarind Fish Curry with Coconut Rice
One of the most unique fish curries we’ve had in Pune. It’s tangy from tamarind, with a sharp spiciness. The curry is thin, but flavour-packed. The best part? Their Coconut Rice—light, fragrant rice mixed with grated coconut—soaks up the curry just right. If you’re bored of Malvani or Goan-style fish, this is a refreshing change.
And this is just a glimpse. There are many more curries—from Mysore, Mangalore, and other coastal regions—waiting to be explored.
So, whether you’re a foodie or someone who loves Indian food with depth and diversity, Curry Nirvana is worth more than one visit. Experience the true variety of South Indian curries in Pune—only at Curry Nirvana.
