Looking to chow down on some Indian fare? A new spot has you covered. Called Nukkad, the fresh arrival is located at 105 Greene St. in Paulus Hook, just west of Exchange Place and the waterfront.
Taking over the cozy space of Sri Annapoorna Bhavan, Nukkad bills itself as a spot for "Indian soul food" — comfort food inspired by the culinary traditions of chef and owner Garima Kothari's native Kolkata. On the menu, guests will find morning favorites like beans and toast, idlis (steamed rice and lentil cakes) and upma (savory semolina porridge); lunchtime tiffin specials with choices of chana masala, chicken curry and more; daytime snacks like samosa and the special Bombay Sandwich (spiced veggies and chutney on grilled bread); and large plates of biryanis and dosas. This casual, cafe-style eatery, which is open six days a week for breakfast, lunch and dinner, also offers chai and lassis and has room to seat 30 guests.
With a four-star rating out of eight reviews on Yelp so far, Nukkad is getting solid feedback from guests.
Shivani M., who was among the first Yelpers to review the new spot on Sept. 14, wrote, "If you enjoy street food from various corners of India, this is the place for you. We loved everything we ate: delicious dosas, idlis, biryanis and more. Chicken curry and Chana masala were outstanding. There are a lot more items on the menu that are served during the day only."
Swing on by to take a peek for yourself: Nukkad is open from 8:30 a.m.–9 p.m. on Monday-Saturday. (It's closed on Sunday.)
