I was so excited to finally go to Nicky's, and it pretty much lived up to my expectations. The only reason I didn't give a 5 is because I don't know that the Thai was any better than a place, like Thai Spoon in Dormont (shout-out!), but with much higher prices - hence my 1 star drop.
I had the Pumpkin Curry with Chicken and I would get it again a million times. I've been on a huge pumpkin kick, but the best part is that pumpkin curry is not as "earthy" or autumn-tasting as something like a pumpkin pasta. It's a good change. Mild was the perfect amount of kick for me.
I personally loved the environment. It's not quite gaudy, but it's close and I have no complaints. All the shine and large decor on top of purple walls somehow actually makes me feel warm and I thought it was a nice change of pace for a downtown stop.
By all means, this place will be a downtown go-to spot!
