Myself and my family were at Nirvana today for Sunday lunch. The beef was probably the nicest beef I have ever eaten, so tasty and tender. The service was impeccable and super friendly. I did not have one downfall. This was one of only two places to eat out in Ballyshannon on a Sunday. Our town needs this beautiful restaurant, and the lovely owners deserve every success!

This place is seriously good! We have been here twice, once on Friday and once on Saturday, and it's been half full at most, they definitely deserve more patronage! I guess it's the low season right now to be fair. The burger is a real meal, big burger, with well cooked bacon, side salad, 2 onion rings on top, and a separate generous bowl sized portion of chips. They could follow the viral protest video suggestion to make burgers wider not taller! It was about an inch thick at centre, so the same amount of beef pressed at least as wide as the generously sized bun would be better but I shouldn't complain, it was still delicious. The onion rings are the antithesis to those horrible frozen ones where you cant recognize the onion, they must be reserving the largest rings from each onion and saving the rest for the other dishes. Really appreciate the effort from the chefs here and the service staff are lovely too. My partner is vegetarian and there are not too many options, but luckily the second time we came there was a blue cheese and mushroom linguine on the specials menu which was fantastic.

The food is top restaurant quality, not bulk made. Fish was fresh as it could be. 2 waitress looking every wish of us. Furniture high quality, looking posh. Very satisfied.

Fantastic restaurant! We visited twice during our stay over the Ballyshannon Folk Festival weekend. Very convenient to our accomodation and the town. My niece has a medical assistance dog and the team could not have been more accommodating of us, making our visits relaxing and pleasant. The food was absolutely beautiful and we look forward to returning. Conor in particular was amazing, sorting our table for us and serving us in such a friendly manner, he went above and beyond and is an asset to the restaurant. Brid also was extremely welcoming and the entire staff friendly and efficient. A must-do if in Ballyshannon! Thank you to the team at Nirvana.

Those of a certain age may remember a BBC 2 sit-com from the early 1990's called "Absolutely Fabulous" - well that also describes Nirvana! We were a group of 8 fellas escaping our better halfs for the weekend. We booked / dined on Friday 7th July. We immediately booked the Saturday night too. It was exceptional on both nights: the quality, the quantity and especially the staff. We had a great time and hope to be back soon!

Superb food, wonderful attentive staff and a lovely atmosphere. Couldn’t praise this place highly enough on all fronts. Food was outstanding, portion sizes were perfect and a great selection on offer from the menu. Would highly recommend.

We discovered this restaurant while attending the Rory Gallagher Festival and so glad we did! We attended it on Saturday and Sunday and had the most delicious meals, my partner said it was the best lamb she had tasted! The owner and Dympna were simply delightful and we feel we now have new friends as well as a great restaurant to attend. We look forward to returning next year if not before. We thoroughly recommend this restaurant!
