" I dropped by Nilkanth on a whim while passing through the KWC area, and I'm glad I did! The restaurant radiates an inviting energy, and the staff were genuinely friendly. I opted for the thali, and it felt so fulfilling—it was like being back at home. Every dish on the thali was delectable, though I found the chaas had a slightly tangy flavor that added a nice touch. Portion sizes were impressive, feedback from my fellow diners was also positive. Perfect for vegetarians looking for a rich cultural experience in food. I'll be celebrating every special event here for sure! " (*Curated Review*)

" A trip to the Nilkanth Kathiyawadi restaurant resulted in a fantastic feast. I savored courses of authentic Kathiyawadi dishes, and I didn’t want to stop! The delicious flavors really reminded me of my grandmother’s cooking. The staff were exceptional—they genuinely care about your experience, putting in the effort to make you comfortable. Portions are incredibly generous, and the ambiance adds a nice touch of tradition. This is a place that every Gujarati should visit! " (*Curated Review*)

" Dining at Nilkanth was an experience to remember! The dishes are authentic, thoughtful, and flavorful. However, I felt the service was a little slow during peak hours, as we had to wait longer than expected for our food. The restaurant's vibe makes up for it, though! They successfully transport you to Gujarat with the decor and ambiance. Looking forward to trying their thali next time for a complete experience! " (*Curated Review*)

" We had a delightful dinner at Nilkanth! Authenticity was on point, and the thali exceeded my expectations. The bhindi sabji was well-seasoned, and the desserts were a lovely touch to finish the meal. The service was exceptional; they were prompt and genuinely seemed happy to serve us. However, the atmosphere was a bit too crowded for my liking, making it slightly less comfortable to enjoy the meal. But overall, a great place that I plan to visit again. Their hospitality makes up for the minor discomfort. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had heard great things about Nilkanth and finally visited. The culinary experience was wonderful but there were a few hit-or-miss dishes. While the rotla was fantastic, I found the daal to be a bit bland. The service, however, was outstanding—quick, attentive, and very friendly. Loved the homely feel of the place; it's great for families. The atmosphere is vibrant and friendly. I plan to return and perhaps try some of their other offerings. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had an average experience at Nilkanth. While the service was commendable, the food lacked some authentic Kathiyawadi flavors that you typically look for. The ambiance was nice, giving a warm village vibe, but I felt something was missing in the food. I hope they improve their recipes for a more traditional experience next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" On my visit to Nilkanth, I was looking forward to savouring Gujarati comforts but was slightly underwhelmed. The thali was decent, but none of the items really stood out for their flavors. The service was friendly, and the ambiance was lovely, but I did expect more depth in the food. I might try this restaurant again, hoping they improve the spice profiles to make it more auténtico.
