TV Guide Magazine
Light and sweet, comfort food dressed up with a dash of exotic spice. - 60
Variety
Stereotypes abound, dialogue is conventional and pace scattered. Still, resulting stew is pleasant. - 50
Village Voice
"A difficult choice, between perfection and heavenly delight," crows the announcer at an Indian-cooking contest during this movie's climax. Sadly, Pratibha Parmar's Nina's Heavenly Delights offers neither. - 50
Los Angeles Times
There are a few surprising flavors in Nina's Heavenly Delights, but it's more of a samosa than a meal. The ceiling is set pretty low when characters start exhorting each other to "follow your heart." Which they do, early and often. - 50
The New York Times
A lesbian-foodie fairy tale that keeps its appetites well under control. The title may hint at naughty pleasures, but the director, Pratibha Parmar, is more interested in pappadams than passion. - 25
New York Post
This movie's heart is in the right place, which is one way of saying it's terrible. - 25
San Francisco Chronicle
A lightweight and sentimental exercise that succeeds at little except maybe inspiring the viewer to go out and find a decent curry.
