Not a weak link in the bunch. I would order every one of them again. And probably will. Probably soon! My husband picked up the food and also said the staff were exceptionally nice.

The food is made fresh, so you will need to wait, but it's always worth waiting for fresh food! They have a variety of momos in their menu. You get about 10 momos in an order. I would love a 5-piece option for half the price, to be honest. The momos were good, though I'm no expert and not a big momo fan, so maybe I'm not the best judge. That said, all the momos were soft, fresh, and flavorful. I'll try some of the other dishes over the next few months. They do catering as well. I'd give it a 3.5, rounded up for now.

I had the jhol momo, chili momo, chicken chowmein, fried rice, and chicken thukpa, and everything arrived warm, fresh, and perfectly packaged for delivery. That's important since I did not want a mess all over the other food. The chicken thukpa soup was exactly what I needed-flavorful, spicy, and comforting with tender chicken and fresh veggies. As a soup lover, this hit the spot and quickly became my favorite item. The chicken chowmein, which I requested to be non-spicy for the kids, was packed with flavor and got their seal of approval. I decided to try the fried rice (mixed with meat, shrimp and veggies). I really liked the flavors and it's definitely different than other places who just throw soy sauce on it. Will get this again. The momos are always a winner here, but my personal favorite remains the chili momo-crispy, spicy, and just incredible. This food truck has earned a spot on my go-to list, especially for that amazing thukpa soup. If you're looking for bold flavors and warming dishes, you won't regret giving them a try!

This food truck is located out of the way on an access road in between industrial businesses so you must actually be looking for this truck to find it as you wont just stumble upon it. Lets get to it! Chicken Tikka Masala Generally, tikka masala is made with yogurt marinated chicken. The chicken is then skewered and chargrilled, giving the meat an incredible charred flavor. A tomato and coriander sauce is common, but no recipe for chicken tikka masala is standard. Chicken tikka masala is similar to butter chicken, both in the method of creation and appearance.What is served here is a tikka masala sauce that is reminiscent of a classic curry-stand recipe. This is not haute cuisine; it's the kind of nuclear-orange tikka masala you crave when you stumble out of da club at 3 A.M.This dish has a punch that comes from a mildly spicy heat, but it's not extremely hot due to the creamy tomato sauce that balances out the spice. Butter Chicken Butter chicken is a type of curry made from chicken with a spiced tomato and butter (makhan) sauce. Similar to chicken tikka masala, the chicken is marinated for several hours in a mixture of lemon juice, dahi, Kashmiri red chilli, salt, garam masala, ginger paste, and garlic paste. The marinated chicken is cooked in a tandoor but may be grilled, oven-roasted, or pan-fried. The chicken on this dish is grilled. The butter chicken presented here has a velvety smooth texture and a slightly sweet taste. This is ideal for someone who is adverse to the spice of a tikka masala. Paneer Chili Momo I only had momos once before having them here. If you are like me the first time I tried these and want to know what the heck momos are: Momos are a traditional delicacy snack (Asian steamed filled dumpling) from the Nepali cuisine. Generally, momos are made with finely chopped freshly harvested vegetables with an option of minced meat. A momo is similar to Chinese baozi, jiaozi, and mantou, Mongolian buuz, Japanese gyoza, Korean mandu and Turkic manti. These momos are tender and have a bit of heat from the chili and a light crunch from the bell pepper and onion. Drunken Noodles These drunken noodles aren't spicy like the traditional Thai drunken noodles but yet more mild in flavor, which is surprising as the reason they are called drunken noodles is due to the dish's reputation for being a popular late-night street food option that packs the heat. There are variations on the recipe, but there are some ingredients that are usually included such as Thai basil, vinegar, chili peppers, and peppercorns. This dish had all the standard ingredients but not the heat. The dish is filling and flavorful and will pair well with a nice cold beer. For those who do not indulge in libations, a mango lassi will do. The people working at this truck went out of their way to make sure that Thing Two and I were pleased with our meal and offered the momos for free because of the extended wait time for the food (color me impressed). There are tables in front of the truck where customers can wait for their food. Thing Two and I enjoyed our mango lassis at one of the tables while we waited. Overall, this truck is a great addition to the Pflugerville area and should be visited if in the area. #supportlocal

There is plenty of seating, but do be aware when parking as the parking lot is rocky and full of dirt and can puncture your tire if you're not careful. Otherwise, the employees are friendly, and the seating and ambience is peaceful. There is a place for kids to play making this a very family friendly area. This specific food truck has south Indian dishes, mainly, and a few North Indian items. I always get their Masala dosa and dahi puri, but I recently got their aloo tikki. Service is prompt, and the prices are actually very reasonable if not on the cheap side. A very good place to get food and one that I would not overlook because it is a food truck.

Do I recommend this restaurant, despite its delicious cuisine and affordable prices? That's a hard…read moreNO. Spice Fine Indian Cuisine is a diamond (surely some of the best Indian food I have eaten in Austin) ... or a chunk of coal. Let me put it another way... I waited to see if I got sick before I wrote this review. For perspective, I grew up in Mexico. I'm not easily frightened away, but I can spot red flags. First thought upon arrival: "So glad I checked their health score on Yelp." See Spice Fine Indian Cuisine (95 out of 100). Upon closer inspection, Spice Fine Indian Cuisine (aka AG's Spice, aka Pushpa) has an abysmal record. In fact, this restaurant is simultaneously operating under three different names and has three different Yelp pages. Please see my photos to review their Food Establishment Inspection Scores from Austin's Open Data Portal. A score of 58 just last year would be considered poor and would indicate that the restaurant has had multiple critical violations, such as issues with food handling, storage, or cleanliness. In Texas, the lowest health rating a restaurant can receive is an F, or a score of 70 or below. This is a travesty, because the food really, truly was delicious, and their offerings are fascinating. If this place were truly cleaned up, it could easily become the toast of the town... it was that good. They specialize in Hyderabad cuisine- something I know nothing about - but they also serve many of American's favorite dishes, such as curry, or Tikka Masala. Red flags: - The man who came to our table to "check" on us was so unkempt that it was remarkable. His hair had not seen shampoo for a very long time. I speculate that he was one or all of the following: owner, manager, chef. - Tables and menus had been wiped clean with a very greasy cloth or sponge. The glass top was streaked everywhere. - Bits of dried old food on supposedly clean dishes (we were handed a stack of dinner plates, and two of them had them). I imagine that they use an industrial dishwasher, so I wasn't alarmed. Still... - We were the only people in the place for two hours (5-7pm) on a Saturday, which happened to be the restaurant's Happy Hour, according to their website. - A very dead potted plant right next to reception. - Three restaurant name changes? - We were seated in a booth which was not flush against the wall. In the crack, I spotted a fork, a newspaper and a wadded tissue.
