Nukkad Cafe And Bar — Restaurant in Delhi

Located amidst the busy SDA market which is full of cafes and bakeries Nukkad managed to highlight itself amongst all the fancy cafes even after being located inside a dingy little corner or Nukkad as we call it. Quite sure that the cafe got its name after the owner got a kinda shady corner for situating a cafe.

The path which leads to the cafe does seem to be shady at first, however, the moment one enters from that thick wooden door the world changes entirely, the space is quite elegantly decorated, and beautifully lit. The decor is quite rustic, simple yet very pretty. The vibe of the space is uplifted not only by the ambience but also by the lovely playlist they play for a wholesome experience.

Coming to the food, the quality and taste of food they serve compliments the ambience perfectly. The quantity can be increased slightly respective to the high prices they charge for the food they serve.

We ordered three types of shakes, Brownie Nutella, Coffee Caramel and Devil’s Double. The flavours of the first two are self-explanatory however the Devil’s Double is a fantastic combination of our favourite Nutella and chocolate and creamy thick milk. All the above-mentioned shakes were fabulous just the caramel mocha lacked sugar and was slightly bitter, the portion size of the shakes was good too, yes they were pretty good but we felt that the prices could be cut down a little, all the shakes were priced 245 INR which isn’t very pocket-friendly.

Next up we had “Dahi ke Kababs”, which were definitely delicious but too pricey to be true, the serving portion was 6 small pieces, yet the taste was commendable. They had a perfect consistency and right amount of flavouring for the kababs, the covering was crispy and crunchy and was served with green chutney.

We ordered tandoori chilli mushroom momos, they served 5 pieces the prices we felt were again too high and the quantity not worth it, but taste-wise it was good but too spicy, it was like a burst of flavours in the mouth with the spice levels too high.

They managed to keep their nachos crispy even after it was slathered with cheese on top but the point of complaint is that the cheese was only spread on the top of the nacho pile and the nachos below were dry. They served it with freshly made salsa and it was genuinely good.

Coming to the paneer tikka pizza, it was a small 9-inch thin crust pizza, beautifully layered with mozzarella and other toppings however the paneer tikkas were too milky and creamy making the combination of cheese and paneer feel nauseatic.

Tandoori mushrooms could have been better, the sliminess of the mushrooms was still there even after tandoor, marination was too spicy and the paneer stuffing inside didn’t quite compliment. The mushrooms were bad, and quantity, the quality was poor.

We also tried the cottage cheese Thai curry noodle bowl. The flavours of the curry were fantastic, nicely balanced and light. The cream, lemongrass and coconut milk ratio were perfect, giving it an authentic flavour making it absolutely delicious flavourful yet light. We enjoyed this dish thoroughly and highly recommend it too.

Although they have absolutely gorgeous ambience, this place is just a one time visit, the prices are just way too high, they definitely have maintained a good quality but to be honest their food can be improved, especially the tandoori mushrooms, chilli mushroom tandoori momos, and the pizza. Otherwise, it’s a nice cafe but not the best...

Nukkad is an amazing place to visit, irrespective of whether you are an indoors person or an outdoors person. Nukkad has a very chic and rustic vibe, and is very well designed. The waiting staff were very professional and nice to talk with. I visited the cafe on a Sunday for lunch with a friend, and had an amazing time sitting in the open, enjoying the look of the place with some incredible music. We must have spent another half an hour after we were done with our food because we just didn't want to leave!

We had these dishes: Hummus & Chicken Shish Taouk with Garlic Naan and a Anda Salami Pav for the starters. I loved the fusion of Mediterranean and Indian cuisine; the hummus was some of the best I have had in Delhi and the kebabs tasted amazing. It was the first time I had eggs or meat with pav, and it was AMAZING. I really enjoyed this invention presented by Nukkad. We had Mama Rossa Penne Pasta and and an Asian Market Bowl with Chicken and Singapore noodles in Kung Pao sauce. The pasta was cooked to perfection with some amazing tomato sauce. The look and the presentation of the Asian bowl was so great, I almost didn't want to eat it. The chicken was juicy and tender, and the dish tasted incredible!

We tried the Mint Kiwi Lemonade, Virgin Sangria, Virgin Mary and a Strawberry Lemonade(I think...). The drinks were made to perfection and looked delicious as well. Their taste was on point with my personal favourite being the Sangria which was very fresh and refreshing.

Finally, we finished off the afternoon with some Hot Chocolate Fudge Sundae. Even though we were full, we couldn't stop eating it. It was the highlight of the entire day. It was crunchy and chewy and fudgie; everything you want with a desert and more.

Great interiors and exterior, incredible selection of dishes and delicious drinks, and a very polite staff- Nukkad is a MUST visit if you live in Delhi or...
