    Pesarattu Upma
    Ram S.

    Tried them yesterday for the first time. Interesting concept to find South Indian food truck in the bay area. Liked the following items - Ghee mini idli: soft and well made - Poori: crispy and generous portion size. 3 pooris - onion Uttappam: well made good texture - Irani chai: tasting this after a long time - Peanut chutney: delicious Wasn't a fan of their upma pesarattu or their sambar, but that's just me and my taste. Will definitely try them again when in the area

    VIJAYAWADA PANNER DOSA

    Delicious food and chai tea. It was our first time trying their food and decided to give it a try seeing the lively atmosphere after driving by on El Camino (Santa Clara). We asked what to try and got the VIJAYAWADA PANNER DOSA. The flavors and textures were delicious. We definitely will come and try something again next time.

    SERVICE - located in a parking lot on the intersection of el Camino real and San Tomas - parking available for around 10 cars - seating provided in heated tent - food served as it is ready rather than all together in one order - our buzzer was not working so the worker called to us from his truck window - good for a casual meal MENU - andhra style South Indian food - vegetarian and vegan options available - well priced ($10 for a combo) FOOD - tawa bonda (9/10): small fried rice and lentil balls sautéed in spices and green chili. I really liked this dish. It makes a great snack or shareable between a few people. The bonda are fluffy on the inside and crispy on the outside, even after being coated in spices. Highly recommend trying this one. - masala mirchi bajji (8/10): six pieces of fried green chili filled with potato mixture and topped with onions, carrots, and peanuts. I had not seen mirchi bajji made like this but it was definitely a must try. The chili is not super spicy, more like a jalapeño. I liked the addition of carrots for sweetness and peanuts for a nutty crunch. - hyderabadi bandi dosa (5/10): dosa filled with upma and a special masala powder. This was my least favorite of the dishes we ordered but mostly because I am not a huge fan of using upma as the filling for a dosa. If the same flavors were used in a potato masala I would have liked it more. - special flying idli (6/10): mini idli cooked in a spicy gravy. The flavors in this are a nice blend of chili and warming spices. While I liked the concept, the idlis fell apart due to the moisture. - combo 1 (8/10): 2 idlis, 1 vada, and 6 punugulu. If you want a no frills way to try a few things from the menu, get this. Each of the components are exactly what you would expect. *all dishes served with peanut chutney, ginger pickle, and mixed vegetable sambar* WOULD I GO BACK? Yes! The food was very flavorful and I liked how they had a heated seating area

    Pani puri

    We just had food from Flying Idlis. We have been wanting to come for a long time and finally made it. We ordered ghee idli, fried idli, pani puri, sambar vada, onion pesarettu, paneer pakoda and irani chai. All of them were delicious and authentic. We enjoyed the sambar and chutneys as well - peanut chutney and ginger chutney. It wasn't crowded and the service was pretty good. - everyone is friendly and brings food to our table. All the food items were fresh and hot! Will definitely come back to try their poori and other menu items.

    Idlis were so soft and the sambar was perfect. The poori and saagu was on point and the tea to top it off was so flavorful

    Unique food truck in Bay Area! This isn't just a food joint but it's an experience!…read more Vegetarian reviewer: To start with, I am not usually a big fan of too many eggs on my plate, but I thoroughly enjoyed their innovative creations. They have interesting dishes with paneer and chicken as well. We ordered two dishes- Leela lasun keema - This dish was intriguing, with cheese, grated egg, and a rich, spicy gravy. The portion size was generous; a single person won't be able to finish it with just three breads. It was very filling, we took back home the leftover and enjoyed it later with some rotis. They have another version of this- "kachu" with runny eggs instead of grated eggs.. well thought option! Volcano egg biryani- The dish is as interesting as its name suggests. The base is an omelette, and the rice is flavorful with bell peppers, finely chopped veggies, and aromatic spices. The center is with a tomato-based curry. The cheese on the side was amazing, and I loved it. The spicy guava drink is super refreshing with a playful mix of spice, salt, sourness, and the sweetness of guava. I really enjoyed it! They have music playing and the place is lit, creating a total vibe for spending time in the evening on a lazy weekend/ after work, or post-workout. The food is pure indulgence and covered our protein requirements with eggs, along with some fat to burn off. Kinda guilt free. Also, they have games, garba events and other many interesting things going on at different times. Superb vibes, never disappoints! Conveniently located in Sunnyvale - easy to find parking. Ask the owners for their recommendations based on your preferences. They are very nice to talk to and are super passionate about this truck, having brought something they loved from New York to the Bay Area.

    My friend and I were craving for delicious Indian food and after a quick Yelp search, we found this…read morefood truck and were excited to check it out. First off, parking was free and they have an open lot. We were surprised by the ambiance. It felt like a cute dhaba vibe with tables, chairs and string lights. We got dahi puri, sev puri, vada pav, poha. The chaats came out first. Both of them were delicious. The spice level was pretty high so if you can't handle spice, something to communicate to them while placing the order. The vada pav was fresh and tasty. It came with tamarind and green chutney. We liked the chaats so much that we also got the samosa chaat. The portion size was good and it was packed with flavor. Lastly, we got poha. It tasted authentic and the poha was soft and seasoned well. Overall, we had a great experience and I highly recommend checking out this food truck. You won't be disappointed!

Here's what I've tried so far, and every single dish has been a hit: * Masala Chai - warm, perfectly spiced, tastes like it's brewed with care * Masala Chaas - refreshing and tangy, exactly how it should be * Egg Bhurji Pav - soft, buttery pav with flavorful, perfectly spiced egg bhurji * Paneer Bhurji Pav - a great veg alternative, equally rich and satisfying * Kolhapuri Misal Pav - bold, spicy gravy with great depth of flavor, a standout * Paneer Tikka Wrap - smoky, well-marinated paneer with just the right amount of kick Everything tastes authentic, not a watered-down version made for the Bay Area -- this genuinely feels like Mumbai street food. The consistency across such a varied menu really says something about how well-run this truck is. If you're craving real Mumbai street food in the South Bay, stop scrolling and just go. I'll be back again soon to keep working through the rest of the menu!
