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.

A feisty young woman returns to Glasgow to run her deceased father's curry house.
We hate to say it, but we can't find anywhere to view this film.
What are people saying?
What are critics saying?
The New York Times by Jeannette Catsoulis
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.
This movie's heart is in the right place, which is one way of saying it's terrible.
Stereotypes abound, dialogue is conventional and pace scattered. Still, resulting stew is pleasant.
TV Guide Magazine by Maitland McDonagh
Light and sweet, comfort food dressed up with a dash of exotic spice.
San Francisco Chronicle by Walter Addiego
A lightweight and sentimental exercise that succeeds at little except maybe inspiring the viewer to go out and find a decent curry.
