NOKK — Restaurant in Tartu linn

Went to NOKK for the first time a few weeks ago and I have an inkling that I'll be going back whenever in Tartu the next time. I truly adore places that get simple relaxed food right and manage to organise eating and sitting outside in chill, not over-organised way. NOKK manages both. The menu is short which is always a good sign. If I'd have to give you a tip for the menu: get the tacos, and a side order of both green mixed salad and kimchi, and then top up those tacos with those sides, and if there's two of you, get half a chicken as well, and share everything. Burger is fine too, but you can get good burger in quite a few places now - tacos, not so much, so that's why I'll be going back. But the real treat of NOKK is sitting outside, and if it is evening hours, getting to look at the many, MANY cute dogs of Karlova, taking their people for a stroll on the streets.

I really hope NOKK stays around...

Nokk is an amazing place in the heart of Karlova, and I recommend it wholeheartedly.

The food here is amazing, the chicken tastes juicy and crispy at the same time. Everything you wish for in a chicken restaurant. Not a fancy and pretentious place, you can come here for a casual lunch/ dinner with family or friends. The drinks card is simple but good – especially their cocktails. The best thing is to be here on a warm summer evening and have several of their cocktails (I love the spicy Jungle Bird) and some nice wings and chicken burgers. Tacos are also great. To be honest, everything is great! They also have a selection of hot sauces, so you can always make your food even spicier.

The service is also great and even the playlist is very tastefully selected. We don’t live in Estonia anymore, but we always come here when in...

The best chicken in Tartu.

I come from a family in the southern United States who prides themselves in both eating and making fried chicken. I have searched far and wide for a suitable replacement to the chicken I miss from my home. By some sort of luck, I stumbled upon NOKK.

I fell in love at the first bite of their chicken sandwich. The chicken has a crispy outer layer that has been properly seasoned, covering a juicy and tender inside.

Every item I have tried on NOKK's menu has become a favorite. The chicken and waffle has now become my go-to choice. You really can't...
