A pleasant surprise! I'm a fan of Indian food, but I was a little tired of the curry always tasting the same, and it seemed like restaurants limited themselves to making the same recipe. At Nikki's Canteen, the food has a unique flavor, the spices have a prominent place in a perfect balance, they do not dominate the flavor of the vegetables. It's worth going there!

The food was exceptional, and I wholeheartedly recommend it. The freshness and cozy ambiance of the place stood out. Everything was outstanding—perfectly cooked and delightfully crispy. The restaurant features a set menu for each day, regularly updated on their Instagram. The owners were incredibly kind and attentive. Overall, a delightful dining experience! 10/10!!

Amazing food. 10/10 recommended. We loved the concept and the homely vibe of the place. The paniyaram was the best I've ever had. It was well cooked and crispy. Loved it the most. We also had uthappam and moong dal Dosa, both of them were really good.
Keep in mind that the place opens up at 11:30AM and has a set menu for all the days which they update every week on their Instagram. Archana and Suresh are one of the sweetest people I've ever met. They were really nice while serving us and the food was very fresh!

Delicious vegan south Indian food! I was there with my wife before our flight out of OPO airport. We had the thali and masala dosa plates. Masala dosa came with coconut chutney and sambar. The style was a bit different than I am used to with 2 smaller dosa, a bit thicker than I am used to, but crispy. Also the aloo "masala" was in a cup, but was amazing!
It was so good we ordered a second one!
The thali was also very good. Personally, I wish the rasam was a little more spicy, but I also understand that most people in Portugal don't enjoy full-on India spices. I loved the tomato chutney and "sprouts" which seemed like sprouted mung beans with lime? Mushroom curry was good too.
The sambar was rich and tasty. Theere was some kind of smokey (aubergine?) curry that we both loved.
They did a vegan red beet raita, but honestly I don't think an authentic tasting vegan raita is possible. Maybe with aged cashew milk? I don't know.
The masala chai and mango cream desert were wonderful. So smooth and creamy.
Archana and Suresh were very friendly and welcoming. I'll be back next time I'm in Porto!

Wow! One of those secrets you get to tell people about...This is a great small family vegetarian south Indian restaurant. The food is amazing, and mainly a happy reminder of traveling in India, something which is missing in many generic western Indian restaurants. The hosts are extra friendly, and the food....Remember to reserve a table before you arrive.
Amazing food and such friendly service. I'm looking forward to

Had the Navaratri special meal and it's delicious . Price of the meal can be made much competitive. Overall food is amazing.
