Cure Mondayitis by lifting your spirits and heading to Nirvana Restaurant after work. Try the diverse foods in the restaurant that are based on Indian, Malaysian and Thai cooking. Both the Indian lamb korma and tandoori king prawns will have your mouth watering in no time, or you can get the lot with four different banquets to choose from depending on how many of your foodie friends are coming. We highly recommend the spicy salty quail as an entree, it is made with the chef’s secret spices which give this golden fried bird a kick when it hits the palate.

 We all love those four words – ALL YOU CAN EAT. Enjoy grazing for hours and take breathers in-between to prepare yourself for the next marathon of food dishes you will be selecting. With enough food to sustain a small tribe, you can choose from seafood, hot assortments and dessert – because no eating experience is complete without a dessert. Our top tip for you is to remember to get to the buffet early so you aren’t being pushed out the door at closing time.
