I had to wait about 20 minutes because the food cart also takes online orders. So if you're tight on time, order online. I got the paneer kadai at medium spice and it was delicious. My partner got the lamb korma and naan. He enjoyed it also. We sat on a picnic table with an umbrella. There was a slight breeze, so if you want less of the wind sit in the space protected by plastic dividers. I would not order the masala tea again- too much milk, not enough spice.
Seriously can't stop. If you haven't gotten a house special wrap - YOU'RE DOING IT WRONG.
Awesome food! We just tried it for the first time and delivery (not my favorite way to try a new place but was feeling lazy). Delicious! Got chicken tikka masala (comes with rice), dry chicken wings, samosas and garlic naan. Each one was super good. At least a 7 on all counts, but extra points for A. SPICY WHEN YOU ASK FOR SPICY! Love when people do this and as an Indian guy who loves spicy food, this just doesn't happen enough. And B. Great flavors all around, but unique flavors and not generic. The wings for instance weren't just tandoori flavored but slightly battered with a flavored dredge. The samosas had chaat powder sprinkled on top for an extra dynamic. Honestly all of this from a food cart! Can't wait to take friends and go in person next time.
Got take-out here. The chicken tikka masala and the chicken korma. Both were very good. Both were really spicy. The naan was pretty good, though I have had better. I would definitely come back again.
This is definitely my favorite Indian food in town. It's close to my house, so we call in often. The menu is limited, but everything is good, and can be made with protein of choice.
Restaurant owner is chill brother.. First we ordered for chicken briyani but owner looking at us (customer). He explained very clearly it is not briyani what you expect., It's plain rice and. Chicken gravy on top called chicken briyani. We got shock first then we felt great escape and big smile thanks to him.... We changed our order to chicken kabobs came with rice. Taste is good as expected and mango lasi outstanding. Location is good wide variety of truck near by... Great owner and good taste of chicken kabobs.
