Nirvana to Open in Former West Side Lounge Space

A new restaurant may be on its way to Cambridge, and it would move into the space where a spot known for its cocktails had been.

According to a License Commission Hearing page within the City of Cambridge website, Nirvana is looking to open on Mass. Ave., taking over the former West Side Lounge space between Porter Square and Harvard Square. The listing mentions that the new eatery would have seating for 74 with an additional 4 seats on an outdoor patio, and it would include both a dining area and a bar. It is not yet known what type of spot Nirvana might be, but based on its name plus the name of the company behind it (Kaveri Incorporated), it is possible that it may be an Indian restaurant.

West Side Lounge closed in April after being in business for 16 years; the same group that runs the nearby restaurants Cambridge Common and Christopher's was also behind this place as well.

The address for the proposed Nirvana is 1680 Massachusetts Avenue, Cambridge, MA, 02138.
