Reviews for Nikki's Chaat Café in South Lake Tahoe, CA
Below average overpriced food. The only good things we could eat were the Indo Chinese noodles , fried rice and the tapioca... pudding. The curries are not cooked properly. Could feel the raw taste of chicken curries. For such a below average buffet Iwould say 20$ is too much. Read more
Located in the Bijou Shopping Center west of the CVS store. Nikki Chaat offers an East Indian Buffet on weekends though it was... suggested we call before coming in. Naan furnished with buffet along with a mango beverage. Chicken Madras and Butter Chickenhad good flavor. Cost is about $18 and in line with Tahoe prices Read more
The best Indian restaurant near Lake Tahoe. The food was hot, fresh and tastier than other Indian places around the area. It is... not easy to deliver such a great experience for Indian food lovers at such a remote place! Read more
Except for a reasonable ambience, there's nothing much in this place that makes you feel like you entered a restaurant. The... staff are rude and unprofessional. Food takes more than 45 minutes to be prepared. In fact the kitchen is so loud that you canhear everything being prepared. We ordered a pav bhaji -- instead we were served bagel-bhaji. Tea was served in paper cups. Ithink these folks know that their service sucks -- hence they forcibly add a tip of 18%. Would never recommend this place. Read more
This place offers the most delicious and appetizing Indian food. We stayed at Lake Tahoe for about 3 days and had all our meals... here, literally all of them. The restaurant owner Palak is very attentive and considerate towards the customer recommendationsand will go an extra mile to make you feel satisfied with the meal. Customer satisfaction is top priority for her. I’drecommend you to visit this restaurant 10/10. Best Indian food in the United States of America. Read more
My husband and I have been in South Lake Tahoe for about two months now in a vacation rental. I am not able to cook as I usually... like to on a daily basis but we recently discovered this little Indian cafe close by to our cabin. My husband loves Indian,Pakistani, Greek, Mediterranean food so of course he wanted us to try this place. We are always frequenting sushi restaurantsclose by so the change was welcomed. The owner of the restaurant Mrs. Shah was very welcoming, she’s an industrious woman thatensures that you get what you ordered and what you paid for. Yesterday her restaurant was opened for business (25th December2021) Christmas Day, while others were closed. They were opened in a storm I might add. Mrs.Shah’s husband was in yesterdayevening assisting with orders and he was the sweetest person ever. I don’t know the names of The dishes on the menu but thefood here is delicious, the restaurant is clean, people are friendly and the service is good! I recommend 10/10 Read more
Had Dinner and Breakfast while visiting Lake Tahoe last month. Tried their Shahi Paneer and Malai Kofta with Naan in dinner and... all things were very tasty. For the Breakfast we had their Chhola Bhatura and Aaloo Paratha along with Tea/Chai which very alsovery good. Overall the food was delicious, fresh and had a home cooked food feeling. Read more
Had a great dinner! The service was good, multiple people asked if we needed anything. The garlic Naan was fantastic. Best... we've had. My wife had chicken jalfarazi. I had lamb vindaloo. I ordered medium spice level, and it was spicier than expected. But fantastic flavor! Worth a return trip! Read more
