Located in cary prime area, Nukkad is a good indian street food spot. We tried a lot of times as dine-in & delivery with most of the items, no complaints yet.
Today we ordered Sweet Corn Soup, Samosa Chat, Chicken Momos & Masala Chai. Most of the items served quickly, items were good in flavor & taste. Most importantly food served with hot & fresh.
Ample space for dine-in customers with decent vibes. They serve food & we can self serve plates, utensils & to-go boxes as we need. Staffs are Calm & Helpful.

I loved chole bhature . The best in triangle area.
Somosa chat is ok , raaj kachori was very good
Gobi machurian dry was very hard , could have spent a little bit more time on wok to softwn it up . It was very hard to chew also .

Wow. Never had pani puri this cold before. Felt like it came straight from the fridge. Very refreshing… I guess?
And the tea? Perfect ratio 90% water, 10% milk.
Truly a memorable experience.

Nothing great about the food overall.
We the tried Nukkad non-veg thali along with garlic naan. The good part was that the staff advised us the thali could be shared, which we appreciated, but the chicken items were disappointing and we mostly relied on the veg dishes.
The overall experience wasn’t very pleasant, though we may return to try vegetarian options instead.

The taste used to be great a year back. I don’t know what changed but the taste is not the same anymore. The chai has literally no milk just water.

I visited Nukkad Indian Street Food multiple times during my stay in Raleigh, and every visit was a delight. The menu offers a wide variety of authentic Indian street food from chaats to pav bhaji and lot of options, all packed with rich, flavorful taste. The ambiance is vibrant and truly gives you the feeling of being in India. The decor, music, and overall vibe are nostalgic and welcoming. The staff is friendly, and service is quick. If you’re craving real Indian flavors in a casual, lively setting, Nukkad is definitely worth checking out. Highly recommended!

I ask for 4 dish with lentil soup or a dish with lentils I’m not sure what the name of it is this is excuse me just being a silly American and don’t know what the name of this is but I’ve had my fair share of Indian restaurants and how they always give you generous portions lunch menu will me and my partner live literally one block away from this restaurant and he’s new to Indian food where I’m still learning the name of my favorite dishes and what they call them but yet I was suggested to get either black or yellow so I chose yellow. I’m vegan so it’s very important that I pay attention to my vitamin D and my protein levels so this is why I chose this dish but lo and behold very highly disappointed it’s very bland to be Indian food and I’m a type of lady that can take Indian homemade Mama’s Kitchen hot spice and this had zero spice it tasted as though they just made it and none of the spices Blended in it was soft well cooked lentils with lint news that definitely needed another 35 to 45 minutes to cook. I spent $14.95 for a meal that any other restaurant would have gave me the large size especially being at his dinner time but I literally got a pint $14.95 there is not one Indian restaurant I have been through from Durham to DC that has charged me have charged me $14.95 for a pint of any main dish then I go to read the reviews is talking about how the portions are too small and seriously overpriced just because we live on High house here in Cary that does not mean we on the high horse. I don’t to be seriously price gouge and giving me small portions of seriously not well seasoned Indian food. I will not be returning we will not be returning. My partner just paid $3 more lamb biryani and it was well portioned out and season too.

The pani puri and the behl puri were just some of the items on their vast menu. The owner kindly explained some options when asked. Early lunch on a Saturday, pretty quiet till about 1pm when the lunch crowd rolled in. We got the falooda, it was cold but not as sweet as I thought it’d be. Will definitely return to try indian-chinese items – smelled so good.

Good place for authentic Chole-Bhature and other Chaat options. We were a large group, so got to try many dishes.
Dishes that we really liked- Chole Bhature, Bhedmi Poori- Aloo, Rajkachori, Hakka Noodles.
Dishes that could have been better- Amritsari Kulcha, Paneer Makhani, Sarson ka Saag – Maki ki roti, Kulfi falooda, Chicken Momos.
They also have good selection of Indian Mithai….
Service could have been better.
Overall a good place to satisfy your Indian pallet.Go try it !!

Soya Sizzler at Nukkad was a delicious surprise. The soya chunks were beautifully marinated and perfectly grilled, with a satisfying smoky char. They came out on a sizzling platter, which was a nice touch. The Chicken Legs were also a standout—they were incredibly juicy and had a wonderfully crispy skin from the grill. It’s a great spot with a menu that has something for everyone, making it the perfect place for a family outing. We all left happy!
