nimbu: Indian Street Food

An absolute feast for the senses. From the moment you walk in, Nimbu draws you in with its stunning décor — the welcoming Nandhi cow, ornate photographs, and thoughtfully placed Indian street elements instantly transport you back to India. It’s nostalgic without feeling staged, immersive without being overwhelming. The food more than lives up to the atmosphere. Everything arrived quickly and was executed beautifully. The pav bhaji was crisp, rich, and perfectly spiced. The bhel puri had a bright, zesty balance that was both refreshing and deeply satisfying with every bite. The paneer pakora was crunchy on the outside, soft on the inside, and a total comfort dish for both palate and soul. Our kids loved their lassis and happily polished off their portions, while my wife and I enjoyed a wa

My sister and I had to run to Trader Joe’s for clementines and were so hungry! We were going to do chipotle but seen this new restaurant and decided to try it. WOW. We were SO glad that we did! We have told several friends and family since about Nimbu. The owner’s customer service was impeccable and above and beyond. The chai tea was absolutely incredible. I want to bring in my own thermos to get a VAT of this tea 😋 The wings were cooked perfectly and I’m very picky about wings, so this says something. I got the chicken tikka wrap, and my sister got the one with spinach curry. They BLEW our minds. They were filling, warm; and cozy on a rainy Tuesday afternoon. Just what we needed. I don’t eat out as often anymore because everything is so toxic and makes you feel like crap. This food does

Very cute vibes and friendly staff. Fresh, bold flavors that go beyond the typical fast Indian fare in this area. You have to try the pav bhaji. The chai and mango lassi were also a delight. The samosas were tougher and less filled than I would have liked. So glad they replaced the awful BBQ chain that was here previously. (A fun Easter egg: they kept the cow!) I hope they continue to innovate their menu as their popularity grows and I look forward to my next lunch here.

Loved the Geela Bhel, Vada Pav, Chicken Samosas, and Smoked Wings. For someone who’s never experienced Indian street food before, it was such a fresh, flavorful and unique experience. Recommended for everyone. Also, the decorated cow at the entrance is so beautiful!

I visited Nimbu today with my family. From the finger-licking Zabar-dust Smoked Wings to the Aloo papri chaat, Vada pav, and Samosas, we were blown away by the delicious flavors and variety of foods we enjoyed during our meal! The atmosphere and staff were both warm and inviting! A must visit restaurant!
