The food is amazing. The food truck is lit on the weekends. They have Jain Chaat options. I got Dahi Papdi chaat and Sev Puri. They also have Paneer Pakoda and other chaat options Jain. Pani Puri they have a live counter with so many Pani options
Malai Kulfi was rich and appropriately sweet (not too sweet). Have tried their kulcha chhole which are great. Service is quick. If you don't hv cash, they charge $1 for transactions below $10. Parking is limited especially during evening and weekends.
Tried this place for Chaat and it was perfect! We got their Samosa Chaat and it was made really well. Perfectly spiced samosa, topped with Chole and chutneys, this was a super hit. On weekends they tend to get super busy and the wait time is pretty insane but as long as you order and hop on to another food truck around, you should be able to get your meal while you enjoy a snack. Part of the many food trucks around that area, Jonah does have amazing Chole. So anything with Chole is a great order. They do have a super long menu and will have to go back more often to try them all. They also have Kulfi that I saw a lot of folks enjoying. Will try that next time.
I'm sorry folks but I need to take a star off. Let me start by saying the food is still just as INCREDIBLE as all the other times. In fact their Shahi Paneer with Kulcha has gotten EVEN better (See pic). But service wise it was such a let down. We were a group and ordered, the food for some of our group showed up while the rest of us just stared at them eating, by the time the food for the other half of the group arrived everyone else had finished eating. The chai came at the very end. And while waiting we saw orders of people far ahead in line being fulfilled which was frustrating. It seemed like one them was a friend of the owner's so they jumped the line for food delivery. Anyway ended up being a poor experience for the group. I really hope that they take a step back and invest in the logistics of order management. I've been one of their patrons for the longest time and I wish them the best.
We visited the new location of this truck on Kifer road, near Costco. Nice sitting area, better than the previous location. Loved the kulcha. It was perfect thickness with spicy filling. A little on the higher side of spicy (masala). Chole was ok too.
