Hear from our valued guests
Amazing food. Somehow they’ve managed to have better chef. I loved the egg preparation.
I specifically went for their Dhansaak and WOW. The flavour & texture of the soya kheema balls pairs so well with the dish. No disappointments whatsoever. Definitely go ⭐️
Very good Italian and other food. Some different dishes.
Had breakfast at The Nutcracker after visiting Gateway of India and tried their Turkish eggs—honestly the best I’ve ever had! So flavorful. The café is small but incredibly charming. Ended up sitting for over two hours without realizing. Highly recommended!
I love the food of The Nutcracker and its taste of food never disappoints whenever i go. We have paprika Penne pasta with garlic bread. It was so delicious that it made my evening with my partner amazing. Staffs are very polite and the place has its own vibe specially at Fort Kala Ghoda.
The Nutcracker have got four outlets in Mumbai. Last time we had tried at BKC which we liked it a lot. This time we had some family guests from abroad whom we brought here. It was a small place and they don't take advance reservation. After 20 minutes wait, we got our table. While we were waiting outside, they gave us the menu to decide so that no time is wasted inside. They were prepared to take order also but, we preferred to first sit inside and then place order. We had Nutella Waffle, Akuri, Eggs Kejriwal, Breakfast Bean Quesadilla followed by Vanilla Ice Cream, Cappuccino, Americano, Hot Chocolate and Café Mocha. All the food items were delicious and well prepared and presented. The service was top notch, very fast and courteous. Worth visiting...
This place never fails. I order 7 layer cake and avacado toast the best i have ever had. The place gives you cosy comfy vibes. I also tried Jamun crush and it was something mind blowing. It tasted just like raw jamun. They are presentky serving summer menu as well
I came here because a friend suggested it to me and I must say it did not disappoint. The food and staff both were gooood ! Staff saw to it that our 1-2 specifications regarding food were done well and service was super quick. Food tasted delicious Things we ordered 1) Vietnamese coffee 11/10 (best one I had in a while) 2) Truffle fries 7.5/10 - they served this really yum mustard dip to go along with it 3) Nutty pasta (9/10 - was a little salty but tasted great) 4) Garlic bread 7.5/10
A warm inviting space, albeit small and seats approx 20 odd. The food is a must try of the classic and a nutcracker fusion! I tried an orange coffee latte and it worked! Go there on a date or with friends and you will not be disappointed! Tried the Korean Cream Cheese Bagel... Yummy!
Cute cafe… loved the food,the ambiance butt the coffee..hmmm i dunno but the beans aint it.. but rest everything was superb.. Love how the server handled everything and waived off the coffee which i didn’t like.. he was very professional.. Will surely be back again.. for the bagel specially 🥲💕
