I messaged these guys as their Instagram and web site menus confused me. They assured me that they had vegan items on their menu. It seems like a lot of people don't understand the difference between vegan and vegetarian, but these folks understood it.
We found Nukkad Indian Street Eats at McArthurGlen on Sunday afternoon. I think this is their regular haunt but you should probably check before trudging out there. Their clientele showed some enthusiasm so that reassured us.
The Chole Kuche was amazing. The kulcha was an tasty soft bread, nicely grilled, that we dipped in a flavourful chickpea curry. The gentlemen who gave us our food made sure that we knew to squeeze the lime into the curry. So good! 
The Mr. Potato Burger was also amazing. If you think you need meat for a burger (even faux meat) you are sadly mistaken. The potato patty was crispy and fragrant with Indian spices. Hold the cheese to make it vegan but it is all about the condiments. I can't remember if they had to hold the mayo as well as it is house made. Once you add in the pickled jalapenos and fresh veggies, you are good to go. This was served with fryums which texture wise are a little like shrimp chips (not the flavour) and are made basically from starch and deep fried. This was new to us and interesting.
Finally, we had the Veg Fried Momos. We are big fans of momos and you can order them steamed if you plan to eat them every day but for us...nah. We love them deep fried and served with some heat.
There are a few other vegan options at McArthurGlen but other than that, don't come for the shopping. It is a wasteland of overpriced and overhyped brand names. Does a brand name on your clothes make you an important person? Come for the food especially at Nukkad.
