I was craving Indian food and happy to find this relatively new food truck.Google reviews look good with 4.4 stars from 134 reviewers at the time of this writing.Mostly for portion sizes, good taste, and reasonable prices.I'm sad to say my experience is quite the opposite. I ordered Samosa Chaat and Hyderabadi Dum Ka Mutton Biryani via Uber Eats for convenience.I don't mind *too much* about the inflated price and quite misleading pictures (for portion sizes) on those delivery apps.What bothers me is there's barely any meat for the biryani...it's mostly small bones with tiny meat on them...and there's no samosa for my "*samosa* chaat." Not even sev (crispy noodles). Tastewise, the (missing samosa) chaat was quite plain and tasteless.Not much flavor at all.The biryani, on the other hand, was full of flavor.Yes, that's good.What's NOT good about it (besides the portion size with barely any meat) is there are bits and pieces of herbs/spices in EVERY bite.Tough ginger skins, cardamon seeds, cloves, cinnamon sticks, star anise (that's a surprised spice for biryani...for me, at least)...you name it! Try soaking a piece of clove/a small piece of cinnamon until they're soft and chew on them.That's what it tastes like.There's no way to remove those bits and pieces for every bite.It was quite an unpleasant experience! As for the "service," I can't tell if it was Uber Eats's fault or not.But, it took quite a long time (almost 40 minutes) before my order showed up as (Uber's driver) picked up.It took the driver less than 10 minutes for his trip of less than 3 miles.
Dahipuri: average, can do better at home; Gobi Manchurian: we ordered one more because it was too good, 5/5; but expensive though Goat biryanis: 4/5, it’s good but not surprisingly good. Service: was quick, and nice lady who took our order. We payed $50 for 4 things for 2 people
So I live near and saw this little food truck appear and after several months decided to stop in and see if the food was any good.I was pleasantly surprised and the taste was wonderful enough for me to have stopped in 5 times in the last two months.The the people working there are very nice as well. The only reason I am giving 4 stars instead of 5 is that I can't do spicy heat anymore even though I love heat.I do ask for no heat and I can tell the heat has been reduced quite a bit that from the first time I had it but unfortunately for me it's still to spicy.Love the flavor though and if you love traditional and spicy you will absolutely love this place.There's definitely a 5 start waiting from me when I can get all the delicious flavor they have but just without the the spicy kind of heat.Other than that the food is incredible!
