This place use to be good before pandemic. Offlate their food has become pathetic, tasteless, overly greasy.Got vada pav - photos look so temptingUnfortunately, it had half piece of frozen aloo vada microwaved (releasing oil) and loaf of buttery bread - the chutneys tasted pathetic - very pathetic. Pav(bread) smelled so bad..Turned to raj kachori - shell was so soggy, sticky and practically unchewable.. Who adds dahi vada inside a raj kachori.. This Chef is complete non-sense. Again the chutneys were same as vada pav and tastedpathetic..Turned next to kachori to chole bhatura - half boiled chole’s, blunt had no spice or taste - basically masala added on top like chole chaat. And add super oily half fried bhaturas…Skipped kachori and switched to pav bhaji & schezwan noodles…Bhaji is tomatoe puree with raw undercooked masalas…Noodles were drenched in canola oil - Super super greasy - as if u are drinking oil like chinese soup with noodles as toppers…. Complete waste.Overly priced $$$ with least quality of tasteless food…Adding to this insult is their constant understaffing…You pick ur own plates (most of time they are out of plates), keep asking for water refills, walk to food counter for napkins, constantly hunt for spoons and forks.There are far better tiny pickup restaurants inside grocery stores nearby which serves better quality and taste..

Really impressed, i had ordered food through door dash twice but today i went to dine in. Dine in was quiet different experience, interiors were really good, customer service was amazing its really rare to find ok-ish customer service but this place was really good. The amount of food you get for the price you pay is worth it. Chole bhature(2 huge bhatures and ull feel full half the way) samosa chaat , aloo tikki chaat these were really really tasty, the samosa and aloo tikki in the chaat i felt they were freshly made not the frozen. Finally completed it with Masala chai, huh usually u get a small cup of chai for $4 but here you will get a big cup ? yes that’s right and its worth it. These are really top notch items , the food,the food presentation , cutlery, the ambience pretty amazing experience. I would definitely recommend and would go back to try some indo chinese ?.

The first thought that struck my mind as soon as I entered Nukkad was that I'm back in India. Somehow, the restaurant had managed teleport me back to my country! The food was absolutely amazing! The vibe was great. Overall, would definitely recommend this place to everyone :)

I order dahi puri and chicken samosas! Dahi puri is just okay it too sweet at the place of imli chutney they add sugar syrup which taste so bad and after waiting 30 minutes they said we’ve no more children samosas you can order something else we orde khati roll and omg they used same sweet syrup in that roll ???

Perfect order, 5 stars for me on ambiance, food quality and service. In RTP they are the best as compared to all other south asian restaurants plus halal also I definitely recommend them and going there again. Keep up the good work!

This is great place for Indian Street Food. Have visited today afternoon to try out few items like - Raj Kachori chat, Pav bhaji and tandoori paneer tikka.The food was quickly served, taste was authentic. For any chat item IMO , chatni are the key and the chatnis here are amazing !! Loved the food quality, quantity and service.Am heading again to try out Veg Thali tonight :)

Shahi paneer and kofta curry had same gravy with no difference. Hakka noodles and veg biryani too tasteless. Wheat bread was like rubber. Came from far to visit my friend but never had such kind of food with such taste.

The food tasted amazing.

This is a great little spot with a huge menu. As a former reviewer mentioned, no key to explain what the various dishes are if you are not Indian. So that was something a bit inconvenient. There was no other choice than to ask a busy waiter/counter person to describe each dish. But I came away planning to make this one of my regular "go-to's," happy to find something different from so many repeat local restaurants. I was telling a friend about Nuked when they volunteered a recent food inspection rating. The inspector number rating was pretty generous, considering the several unappetizing descriptions of what they found. Needless to say, I have no plans to eat there again. I write this with regret b/c this should be a winner among local choices. Sanitation is not negotiable for me.

Tried several items from the menu and all were decent & hygienic. Bhatura was surprisingly not oily. Food was served fairly quickly.
