Our Food Philosophy

At Nimbu, everything is made fresh, in-house—from masala blends to chutneys, samosas, and mango lassi—using real ingredients without dyes or preservatives. Our food is balanced and satisfying, with plenty of vegetables and protein. We use locally sourced ingredients alongside trusted Indian staples like Amul cheese and butter. With vegetarian, vegan, nut-free, and gluten-free options, our menu is designed for all ages and palates—approachable and easy to enjoy any day.

Dishes & Drinks

(nim-boo): a Hindi word for lime or lemon.

In Indian cooking, nimbu is the final squeeze that wakes everything up: adding freshness, balance, and zing. At Nimbu, it represents our approach — bold flavors finished with brightness, meant to spark joy, curiosity, and craving in every bite.

When life gives you nimbu, make khaana-peena.

India’s best food comes from the streets—the galees, carts, and dhabas where chefs cook with instinct, energy, and masti. Food that sizzles, crunches, drips, and bursts with flavor. Nimbu channels that spirit into inspired twists on street-food classics—layered with house-roasted masalas, fresh herbs, and a squeeze of chota nimbu in every bite.

A New Way to Experience Indian Food & Flavors

Nimbu brings a side of India rarely seen on menus — the bold, playful flavors found on bustling streets and local hangouts. Our menu features favorites like Vada Pav, Samosas, Kathi Rolls, Chaats, Pav Bhaji, Butter Chicken Sandwich, Masala Fries and Kachumbar Salad, all prepared fresh and meant to be enjoyed casually. Fast, vibrant, and made to share, every visit invites curiosity, comfort, and crave-worthy flavor.

What our guests are saying

We had such an amazing experience this past weekend at Nimbu! The food was so fresh and delicious - from the lassi that my daughter has been asking about since, to each and every chutney. The menu was inventive while staying true to the traditional flavors. The space was bright, inviting, and had plenty of seating if you wanted to stay while also spots to sip a chai as you waited to pickup. We are so excited to go back and have this as a regular in our rotation!

Nimbu: Indian Street Food is a gem! Fresh, bold flavors with a modern twist on classic Indian street food. Everything we tried was delicious, the vibe is fun and welcoming, and the service was great. If you’re in the Princeton area and want something different and flavorful, this place is a must-try. 🌶️🍽️

Amazing vibe with chai and indian street food at Nimbu! The bhel and masala chai were perfect for today’s snowy Sunday. Special mention for this gorgeous Nandi Bull corner inside, with its old mythic tradition kept alive (that you can cover it’s one ear, and whisper your wish in the other, and Nandi holds it, till it comes true!) My friends and I had a blast. We can’t wait to visit again (n again!)
