We ordered palak paneer, but it was extremely disappointing. The dish was watery and runny, felt undercooked, and had a very unpleasant texture. There were only 2–3 small cubes of paneer, and the gravy did not even feel or taste like real palak paneer. Excess oil was floating on top, making it look unappetizing. Overall, this experience did not match the restaurant’s reputation at all. Our money was wasted, and I would not recommend this place.

I’ve been eating at Nukkad Dhaba for over a decade, and it continues to be my go-to spot for truly authentic Indian / Mumbai flavors. Their butter chicken has been a favorite for years — and no, not the sweet orange “makhani” version most places serve, but the real deal: rich, red, with shredded chicken, just like it’s known in parts of Europe and, of course, Mumbai. Their beef samosas, Pahadi chicken boti, and mutton or chicken biryani are consistently top-notch — packed with flavor and true to authentic Mumbai street-style cooking. Today, they went above and beyond. I tried their matka goat biryani, murgh malai, goat sukka sizzler, paneer achari, chicken achari, and dal makhani — and honestly, it felt like I was transported straight to Mumbai. Every bite was deeply spiced, comforting, and made just the way it should be. And of course, I wrapped it all up with their jaggery tea — bold, sweet, and warming. A perfect desi-style kadak chai, just like Mumbai cutting chai. This is a true hidden gem — a humble spot with unbeatable flavor. After a decade of loving their food, I figured it was about time I shared the love.

Amazing restaurant with delicious food. We ordered Paneer Butter Masala and daal along with Jira rice and all of them were good taste. The Garlic Naan also was fresh and soft. Overall it's good with great service. We were 4 Families and had dinner and enjoyed the food.. This is Indo-Pak restaurant and they have free parking too...

Been going there for a long time and the food and service is great.but now they started charging 15% of your bill to dine in as a dine charge. I think that’s ridiculous we shouldn’t have to pay to eat inside a restaurant. They charge enough for the food and the tips this is just extra. I think they are charging customers for their renovation.

The butter chicken and naan was delightful. My family and I loved the food here. It was so flavorful and a more than enough portion size. The kids loved the naan and was one of the best I have had!
