A sweet little food truck serving authentic Pakistani flavors…read more We tried the beef samosas, shami kabab roll, chicken tikka roll, and mango lassi. The beef samosas were absolutely excellent crispy, flavorful, and definitely the highlight of our meal. Between the rolls, I preferred the shami kabab roll over the chicken tikka roll, though both were enjoyable. The mango lassi was decent, but not particularly memorable. The sweet lady behind the counter was incredibly kind, and it's clear that the people running this place are hardworking and passionate about what they do. We were visiting from Houston and took the food back to our hotel room for a late-night snack. We're so glad we decided to stop by! Highly recommended if you're craving authentic Pakistani street food!

It's a joy to learn another culture through story & food; Mona's Samosas is a fantastic Pakistani…read morefood truck that shares its soul with each bite, drunken or otherwise. Mona's (a portmanteau of the parents names' first syllables) has a small menu of traditional offerings, from samosas, patties, parata rolls, and chutneys. The truck is helmed by Momma Mona but her twin sons run the operations and have crafted the recipes. I tried several items and it is absolutely ridiculous how delicious everything was. The samasos of potato (papa) were expertly crafted and reminded me of flautas de papa when they are done right. Crispy, flavorful, and "light" ... just perfect. The parata rolls, made from an egg based recipe, was expertly crafted; the shami kabab was filled with beef. Paired with the mint chutney, it was a great balance. The sauces were on point and varied in heat level, but nothing excessive. Sameer (sp?) explained that the sauces are a bit on the milder side to accomodate the taste palate but the spiciest version had some punch. Last but not least was the beef patty which was a stellar, absolutely phenomenal flaky pastry with their signature shredded spicy chicken. It rivaled some of the best bakery offerings I've had, the flakiness left me laughing out loud from the quality. Whenever I venture into another culture's cuisine, I can certainly tell if I like it or not, but not how rooted the dishes are. I appreciated Sameer's discussion of his families food; his mom has been in the industry for years and finally decided to venture out with her twin sons. I'm glad they did. The craziest realization was that there was likely so many drunk patrons who stumble out of Shangrila at 2:10AM likely have no idea they had some of the best Pakistani food you can find. *Shout out to Joe from Taano Beverages for the rec; he's neighbors with Mona's. Always lovely to see small business genuinely support other small businesses.

THE BLACK AND WHITE: Came here with the wife, baby and in-laws for a morning brunch session before hitting up the Mueller Farmers Market. Definitely get a reservation here because the place was packed. For food, we got an assortment starting with the buttermilk biscuits. Which I highly recommend. For the mains, I got the buttermilk fried chicken and waffles, which was good but lacked something (maybe some heat or salt). The other dieshes we got were the shrimp and grits, southern crab cake benny, and the southern breakfast. All were actually very good. THE FINAL BAMBOO: Overall the damage done here was around $110 for 4 entrees and a biscuit. The biscuit is definitely a must get and try.

The restaurant was definitely wheelchair accessible and I was able to fit underneath the table comfortably a huge plus I highly suggest going to this restaurant. The ambience was definitely great.

Love Supreme has quickly become one of my favorite pizza spots in Austin…read more As someone with celiac disease, finding a truly great gluten-free pizza can be hit or miss... but theirs is SO good. The crust has great texture, the toppings are fresh, and it never feels like you're settling for the "gluten-free option." I'd happily order it again and again. I've been a few times now, and the food and service have been consistently great. They also have a fantastic happy hour, which makes it an easy choice whether you're meeting friends for drinks or grabbing dinner.

This was our first time visiting this restaurant. The food was amazing, but unfortunately the…read moreservice was terrible. Our waiter, Mateo, made us feel unwelcome and uncomfortable throughout our visit. He attended to every table around us while completely ignoring ours. A table seated after us was immediately greeted, told about the nightly specials, and served water and drinks before we even received ours. When I finally had to ask about our drinks, Mateo seemed annoyed that I even brought it up. It's unfortunate because the food was excellent, but service is a big part of the dining experience. I hope management addresses this, as employees like Mateo can leave a lasting negative impression and discourage guests from returning.

While visiting Austin, I went to Roots Chicken Shak before heading back to my hotel. You order at a kiosk and can then have your food in their spacious seating area.

They won me over.

There's a lot of food trucks in Austin. There are a few that I consider above the rest and Spicy…read moreBoys is one of those joints. Spicy Boys has four locations in the Austin area, with probably their most popular at Zilker Brewing. They are a spicy chicken establishment and their spicy chicken comes in different shapes and sizes from bone-in fried chicken, chicken sandwiches, and nuggets. I have only ever ordered their fried chicken sandwich and every time, I have been a fan. I always get their middle option in heat, the Hot Gai, which is sandwiched between the OG and the Tingly Gai. It hits every time. The mayonnaise, the pickles, the perfectly crisp chicken: you can't miss it. As a side, I ALWAYS without fail get their Tater Tots. They are consistently crispy while remaining soft on the inside. Sometimes I will get it seasoned with their Tingly Sichuan, but the heat is sometimes too much. I cannot recommend the tots enough. Spicy Boys is one of those places that is always there for you. They are consistently open and the people making the orders are putting a ton of dedication into making them smack every time. The sandwich alone comes at $9.50 with the tots at $3.50, which seems on par or slightly lower than a typical food truck if my memory serves me right. I recommend giving them a shot whether you are at Spokesman in Pflugerville, St. Elmo Brewing, or Zilker off 6th Street. It's in the upper echelon of food trucks. RIYL: peak chicken sammys

If the price of protection from Zilker beer was not being able to taste a chicken sandwich, I was definitely ahead of the game.

I was driving along Manor Rd when I had a sudden craving for a hot dog so I went into this Food…read moreMart convenience store hoping that they would have one of those hot dog roller grills but they did not however the proprietor suggested that I try the place next door, Pepperzzy.  I was a bit reluctant at first as it look a bit shady from the outside but once inside, I was warmly welcomed. I asked if they had hot dogs and the answer was a negative however, there was a menu with a wide variety of choices, hamburgers, pizzas, etc but the Philly Cheesesteak got my attention. Although the Cheesesteak was satisfying, I will not return to order it again instead I will check out some of the Indian items that I eyeballed on the menu.

Now that I've posted it, I'm sure it'll change, but for now they'll get my breakfast taco business.
