Former Nirvana restaurant looking to become golf center
— From Google
Once home to the Nirvana Indian restaurant, 5180 Western Turnpike, located across the street from Guilderland Town Hall, is seeking permission from the town to change its use to an indoor golf performance center.
GUILDERLAND — A former Indian restaurant is seeking to be reincarnated as an indoor golf center.
Precision Sports is looking to convert 5180 Western Turnpike, across the street from Town Hall and which once housed the Nirvana Indian restaurant, into a golf performance center.
Nirvana shut down nearly a year ago; it’s now known as the Great Indian Kitchen Restaurant and Bar at 1652 Western Ave. Before it was an Indian restaurant, the building for years housed a Greek restaurant called The Chariot.
The proposal is set for a site-plan review at the Guilderland Planning Board’s Feb. 22 meeting; the town’s zoning board of appeals is the lead agency for the project. The Notes on Napkins blog was the first to report the proposal.
Precision, which plans to use simulators to coach “athletes of all ages and skill levels, according to its project narrative, intends to use the existing 4,484-square-foot building for its center, and proposes hours of operation between 8 a.m. and 10 p.m.
