What to Avoid (2)

Food 2

  1. Cheese momos Net −1
    “I always ordered cheese momos, everytime do tarah ka taste either real ya weird today but was really disappointed. The filling had a dry, rubbery texture — definitely not fresh or real cheese. It tasted like salty paneer or some cheap processed substitute. Authentic cheese momos are supposed to be soft, creamy and melt-in-your-mouth, but these were chewy and tasted like dried grass. If you're calling it "cheese momos", then please use proper mozzarella or fresh cheese, not these fake fillings. Totally not worth the price. Please don’t fool customers in the name of cheese.”
  2. Steamed momos Net −1
    “I tried their Steamed Momos, which turned out to be too spicy for my taste. Next time, I'll ask for a milder version.”

The Bottom Line

Nukkad pe Bhukkad is a compact Al Karama spot for Delhi-style street food, desi Chinese and North Indian comfort food. You can come for momos, golgappe, desi chowmein or chole bhature, and the menu also works well for a quick takeaway. Reviews repeatedly return to the momos and chaats, with the golgappe described as among the best in Dubai.

The strongest specific dishes are the desi chowmein, which one diner said tasted like Indian street-side chowmein, and the honey chilli potato, praised for staying crisp despite the honey and sauces. Chaat lovers have also enjoyed samosa chaat, sev puri and pappdi chaat. Fresh milk tea and masala tea get their own mentions.

Prices are generally described as affordable, and one review reported unlimited momos at AED 35 per person. Portions can be generous, including chowmein said to be enough for two. There is indoor and outdoor seating, but the room is small and some diners found the ambience underwhelming.

Service has ranged from warm and considerate to slow or inattentive. Ask about spice levels before ordering: several reviewers found the food at least mildly spicy. Momo quality can vary, especially with cheese and some steamed versions, so confirm the preparation and check promotional prices directly before paying.
