Nookie's Soul Kitchen & Bar

Stopped in for lunch on our way to Wellington. First impressions; store front was clean modern/retro, nice colours and good signage ✅ Inside we were greeted with a smile and warm welcome from (probably the owner), followed appropriate B.S. Covid stuff before taken to booth and seated✅ Table/chair seating at the front, booth seating to the right and more table/chair seating at the rear, very clean with modern decor and nice artwork, perfect lighting and great looking, clean well stocked bar. Restaurant was starting to get busy (arrived 11:45am)✅ Table service; all boxes ticked, our server was friendly, smiled, attentive and spoke clearly outlining all menu features and drinks were served to us in no time ✅ Food; Comprehensive Main Menu for every taste (vegetarian & gluten fee options) and a $10 lunch menu plus daily specials. I ordered chicken wings (Tuesday All Day 75 cent jumbo wing special) tossed in their signature butter curry with a side Caesar salad. My wife ordered avocado chicken club on multi-gran with fries. Meals were prepared and served within 10-15 mins and plating was excellent ✅Both meals were outstanding (compliments to the chef!) Wings tossed in butter curry with side of home made ranch dressing was absolutely outstanding! Caesar Salad (large) with fresh crunchy lettuce, lots of creamy garlicky dressing with the perfect amount of croutons & fresh parm cheese. One of the best Caesar’s I’ve had in ages - Delicious 😋! ✅ The sandwich was made with fresh bread and ingredients, chicken perfectly cooked and fries had that crunch to them ✅ For all you food enthusiasts, groups, families or individuals, Nookie’s is a gem 💎 it is a must if you are passing through or if you live in the area. 10/10 with 5 ⭐️’s. Thank you for the awesome experience. Will definitely be back 🙌🙌🙌❤️❤️
