Chicken Tikka Masala. I tried this place for the first time. Did not disappoint. Exceeded my expectations. The masala is mild spicy and so crazy good. Do not forget the naan it was fantastic too. I can't wait to stop here again i even saved the location next time I'm passing through. The people were friendly and fast.
Found this gem on the I-5 after not seeing much places to eat. It’s a small food truck, but the food coming out of it is exceptional. The owner is very nice and her recommendations are outstanding. I recommend the paneer tikka wrap. Any of the parathas are great as well. We will be back anytime we travel on the 5 again.
Great find and a wonderful change from our regular Mexican food trucks in I-5. Adjacent to large Arco station with a large am/pm market and clean bathrooms. Posted hours are 5 am-10 pm! Ordered a chicken wrap cut in half so that we could eat and drive. It was delicious and somewhat spicy. Served on a cardboard tray which is needed because wrap has a lot of sauce so eating was a bit messy but worth it because it was so good!
Simple non spicy food. We ordered butter chicken, garlic naan, tandoori roti and dal makhani . The dal was passable, not tasty but butter chicken and the Indian breads were delicious. They even take phone orders which is a plus when we want to save some time. The staff is very pleasant and warm. I would like to come back again for a warm meal and will try more options then . Good luck to the owner.
We were driving from San Francisco to Los Angeles when we found this food truck. Great hot fresh punjabi food in middle of the highway. Hot chai and parantha take away all your driving fatigue. Will must recommend Amritsari Naan, Methi Paranthas, samosas and Chai. They all serve chicken and other dishes. Punjabi dhaba in middle of highway
Great indian food truck right next to i5. The staff is super nice and friendly. The samosa chaat and indian coffee were amazing, surprised to get such good food in the middle of nowhere. Highly recommend.
Stopped to get some snacks on our way to LA from SF after being stuck for hours in holiday traffic, and I’m glad that we did, otherwise we would’ve definitely missed out on this gem. Had chicken curry, paneer malai wrap and Dal Tadka. And all of these dishes were absolutely delicious. Reminded me of authentic Indian Dhabas that we used to stop at on our road trips in India. Would recommend 100%.
