Nikki's Chaat Cafe

The owner lectured my children for leaving food on their plates. When I asked her not to lecture my children, she yelled at me and purposefully overcharged me. Also, the food is lousy. STAY AWAY. more

Worst food ever....friends its better to stay hungry rather then going to this place. more

We were 4 adults that went to Nikki's on 4th of july weekend for dinner.We waited for 45mins for someone to ask if we need water.Then after we ordered another hour went by before the food came and it was cold and only 1/2 of what we ordered came.When i went in to talk Nikki the owner was so rude to us she told us she was too busy to deal with complains! I think that was the worse service i have ever got!i would never go back and do not recommend the food to anyone as the taste was as bad as the owner. more

The five star reviews on this page were obviously written by the owner, Read on. Pros: The waiter spoke english. Cons: The owners (or their friends) obviously edit this page. more

Good food and the lunch buffet is a great deal. I found the service warm and prompt. As far as coupons, I have used them there on a number of occasions and have never encountered any problems. Pros: Good food, great buffet Cons: dinner can be pricey more

This was the worst indian resturant I ever gone. The service is also not so good. We had ordered naan and a vegetable. Naan was given first and vegetable came after 20 min., by then the naan was completely cold. We didn't like anything over there. more

Informal Indian diner, service from friendly owners but what sets it apart is the outstanding food. We had breakfast items from the menu which were great and authentic Indian coffee. Excellent Pani puri and Idli/Sambar. more

We have traveled extensively in Asia and Europe and look for the one or two local restaurants that we can call ""home"" during our visits. I stumbled onto Nikki's as I was told that the wait at the local restaurant next door would be 45 minutes. When we walked in, we knew we had found home. The local owners greeted us with a big smile and asked my family to sit away from the window where we would be comfortable. The place was filled with happy chatter; later we would find out that many ""locals"" were regulars and one could find out just about anything going on in the city. Our breakfast that day was great, served hot, very tasty, and the service was outstanding. We looked on City Search for reviews for dinner and read the review from PBSS about Nikki's. My wife laughed and made a comment about how some people just have to complain about something. We decided to return to Nikki's for dinner; we were in for a fun filled evening. Pros: Great Food, Great People. In summer, dog lovers check out the outside patio. You can see us there! more

I was in Tahoe recently, and love Nikki's! Great American breakfast, and wonderful Indian lunch buffet... Highly recommended over other restaurants in the area! Friendly, fast service, family owned. What could be better? Pros: Family feel, food, location more

I LOVE this cafe and the owners. I was in South Lake Tahoe on vacation and found this quaint little cafe. Not only was the food fantastic but it was served very quickly exactly to order. The restaurant owners were super friendly and made us feel right at home. The lady owner came over and talked with us about her culture and gave us some great info about the area. She is a true gem. We liked it so much that we went back before we left town for one more meal. Extremely curtious service and lovely decor. I would highly recommend this lovely place to anyone. Also loved the beautiful music in the background. Thanks for making us feel right at home!!! Pros: Ambience, friendly, charming more

This is the most idiotic restuarent i have ever gone. Any indian who tasted the food here would never go back. They don't put salt in any thing and the taste is so bad. not at all indian taste. upon this the lady in the restuarent is so arrogent ...that when we went there she accused us of being ill health people. we told her in a pleasing way that looks like the cook has forgot to put salt in everything ...she replied"", Too much of salt is not good for health. Looks like you guys eat more salt due to soem health issues."""" Pros: None. there was nothing pleasing there for me Cons: No manners, no customer curtosy.. more
