DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT IT...

by swati desai

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

Its waste of money and time. They take orders after like 30 mins and give u food after another 30 mins which is like s***. It was the worst experience ever.

DON'T GO THERE ......SAVE YOURSELF FROM THE MISERABLE FOOD.

VERY BAD

by PAYAL

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.

Tourist Trap!!!! Overpriced, Cold Food, Dissapointment, Excuses

by johnathlon

The five star reviews on this page were obviously written by the owner, Read on.

I came in with a few friends (one of whom is pakistani). We came in and no one else was in the restaurant. We called ahead and let them know we were coming. Currie's are $15 (but don't come with anything), you'll end up paying $5 for a "whole wheat" "serving" of Roti and a serving of rice ($2) and a flat drink ($2). They literally poured the pepsi out of a pitcher, it was so watered down with melted ice it looked like ice tea. It was completely flat. We asked that it be replaced and they replaced it.

The co-owner's recommended that we split an entree because the portions were generous. We even asked him "Are they really big enough to split?" He said "yes, of course". They were definitely not. They were very small entree's even for one person. Do not split. The serving of roti was 2 thin pieces (each about the size and width of a corn tortilla) for $5.

Despite the fact that we were the only people in the restaurant and they were obviously in need of business, when we confronted her (very amicably and tactfully) about our eating experience; she responded with excuses.

The food was cold---------------Excuse: Lake tahoe is cold.

The portions were small------- Yeah they were. Sorry.

The roti is small------------------ Pakistani Roti is bigger, Indian roti is smaller. (Not true!)

The roti is not whole wheat---- It is whole wheat.--------- I eat whole wheat every day, this is not whole wheat.-------- It's indian whole wheat. ------ uh... ok.

Most restaurants in this price range respond to such complaints with a thorough and heartfelt apology, a discount, or an offer to make it better. Not at the chaat cafe.

We all left hungry.

ps this is not a chaat cafe, it is a sit-down restaurant.

• Pros: The waiter spoke english.
• Cons: The owners (or their friends) obviously edit this page.
