    Soya Chaap Thali
    Arvind S.

    This is simply my favorite Indian food truck + restaurant in the area! The first time I visited was during their opening week quite a while ago now and I've taken a long time to write a review. They waited 10 minutes beyond closing time for me to pickup the food the first time and the owner Paul also offered me complimentary chai (and also a few times after that, whenever I went to pickup food). I'd say I've visited once every week or at least every other week and have pretty much tried all of the menu and each dish has its own unique authentic flavor, and I'm blown away by that. While I'd vouch for every single dish, I definitely have my favorites. Kohlapuri Desi Murgh - Probably one of their trademark dishes. Great portions of both the dish and the chicken, slightly smoky gravy with flavor of coconut very authentic. Definitely the best version of this dish I've had in the Bay Area. The dish itself is not super oily but I make a special request to keep it lower. Ghazali Maratha Chicken - Tomato based gravy, slightly tangy because of the same. You get couple of chicken leg pieces with the dish. Again, good portions. I do highly recommend it. Shalimar Egg Mughlai Hara Masala - Green colored gravy with a significant flavor of garlic and cilantro. Super rich without being heavy on butter! Anda Keema Pav - It was different from a traditional keema for me. I expected this to be a dryer dish but it was not. It was not a "Keema". I was doubtful if they gave me a different egg dish but well I tried all of their egg dishes so probably not. Delicious, nevertheless, so I didn't care. The egg dishes come with Pav typically, and here as well. Peri Peri Paneer Sandwich - This is a repeat order from me. They grill it so well and it makes it sorta crunchy which is my favorite part. Lightly spiced paneer with mayo/peri peri sauce. Comes with chips (lays). Soya Chaap (Thali) - Creamy gravy as you can see in the picture. I've gotten this a couple of times and I personally loved it the first time but the second time I somehow felt it was a little less flavorful. The thali comes with paratha, rice, raita (not your usual!), and gulab jamun. Pretty filling. I've also tried a couple of their other specials like the chicken tikka frankie, and the chicken shami kebab pav. They may not be on the online menu but you can ask for them! Few of their chaat and other vegetarian dishes, I'm yet to try. I did try their Misal Pav and Vada Pav (2) in their opening week and I also highly recommend them. Extremely friendly owners I must say. They take customizations in terms of spice and oil/butter. I ask for spicy every time and it's actually not too spicy, just about right. They're also always adding new dishes and are extremely particular about the quality and flavor. I expect to be a repeat customer. There's decent amount of seating outside with a couple of other food trucks in the area as well.

    Crab Masala with paratha
    Chinmay S.

    A food truck with a big heart! In recent years, the number of Maharashtrian cuisine options in the Bay Area, especially in the South Bay, has exploded. Many of these establishments aim to ride the wave, but when it comes to authenticity and taste, they often fall short. Not Maya Kitchen. The owner, Paul, has curated a diverse menu featuring street-style vegetarian favorites like Pav Bhaji, Vada Pav, and Misal Pav, alongside non-vegetarian delights like Keema Pav and Anda Keema Pav. Everything we tried was amazing. My favorites are the Kolhapuri Mutton Masala and Crab Masala - dishes I crave and will definitely come back for. A special shout-out to Umesh, who always makes us feel welcome. I hope you guys to grow and thrive! Highly recommend...

    Shalimar Egg Mughlai Hara Masala
    Neeta M.

    The taleriwali chai is incredible- especially on a rainy cold day. The egg dishes are superb. The owner is so confident of the quality of his food - money back if you don't like it! I usually do a take out - there is a nice place to sit under a tent and enjoy a dhaba style food.

    Soya Chaap

    Absolutely love their food! Delicious flavors. Plus, they have a nicely lit seating area right next to the truck, and the service is pretty quick. Some of my go to food items - Veg Frankie - light yet filling Soya Chaap - curry is def flavourful Veg Chilli Momo - chilli tastes more like manchurian sauce but pairs well with the momos! Best part : they're open until midnight.

    Kolhapuri desi murgh
    Pranathi B.

    New truck alert and a very good one! My family visited this when I was out of town a few weeks back and insisted I had to try it. We got: Kolhapuri desi murgh thali: (5/5): thick and richly flavored gravy. They didn't skimp on anything nor did they beef it up with fat or dairy. It was spicy but didn't cause a tummy upset and just awakened all my senses. Not just awaken, it sent my taste buds dancing in joy. Soya chaap thali (5/5): it was my first time trying soya chaap. The gravy in this case was definitely made with almonds. Lightly colored but again full of flavor. Very different from the chicken so they didn't take shortcuts by using same gravy base across the dishes. Salimar egg mughalai Hara masala (4/5): this was recommended by the owner. Gravy in this case was green and I could taste cilantro. It came with pav buns on the side. The thalis came with a paratha, rice, raita and a gulab jamun. I was impressed. Not because the food was excellent for food truck standards but because the food was outstanding. Keep in mind that I just returned from a trip to India so my metrics are pretty high. Across the three dishes we tried, each gravy base was unique, thick and richly flavored. I highly recommend trying them out ASAP. I was impressed enough to go and give feedback to the owner about how good their food is.

    Outstanding Mumbai style authentic street food. Stumbled upon them through yelp and tried them out today. Pav bhaji was excellent with a good spice blend. Like it that way instead of bland. Veg Frankie was outstanding too. Plenty of street parking available in the gas station parking lot and they have some seating near the food truck too. Excellent local find and would definitely visit to try something else again.

    Chicken and egg chowmein
    Silpa D.

    A nice little street-side Indo-Chinese food truck with a fun, casual vibe. The food portions are generous and the spice level definitely hits the spot. That said, the flavors could be better--tasty but not as bold as I'd hoped. Still, a solid spot if you're craving quick, spicy street-style eats.

    Veg Manchurian

    We tried a couple of dishes here, Veg Manchurian, Veg Triple Schzewan Fried Rice, and Veg Schzewan Chowmein. Only place in bay area that served triple schzewan fried rice with separate curry and manchurian. The live counter was good to watch (reminds india). We reached by 6:45 pm, and there was a delay in serving. It seems like they had an online order. Limited sitting area (4 tables) and was clean. Overall, it was a good experience, and I would go again to try snack items.

    Edita A.

    Love this place! The dahi batata puri and chicken maratha are so good - the chicken is so soft and curry is amazing! Def get the indo-chinese selection and jalebi as well.

    Fish
    Yad P.

    Absolutely delicious grilled fish and flavorful gravy! This food truck is hands down the best in Sunnyvale. The service was exceptionally kind, and the prices were very reasonable. Highly recommended!

    Triple chicken fried rice

    Ordered chilli chicken and triple chicken rice. Chilli chicken tastes so bad. Too much soy saucy, no flavor, I can smell the chicken non veg taste all over the plate. Very much disapponted. I would give 0/5. Triple chicken rice is okay. I would guve 2.5/5.

    Pav bhaji
    Divya S.

    One of the best food truck to serve delicious Maharashtrian and North Indian food in Bay area. We ordered Veg Frankie, Paneer Sandwich, Ragda Patties, Pav Bhaji, Methi malai, Kokum Sharbat, Mango Lassi and everything was amazing!! The seating area is cozy and maintained neatly. The pricing is so affordable!! The thali costed around $13.99 and the quantity was generous! They do have Live Pani Puri counter Thursday to Sunday. The service is fast, food came out so quickly!! I'm definitely going back to try more items on menu!

Are we really at a point where people are just so accustomed to average food such that mediocre eateries are terrific to them? I came across this food truck at an Off the Grid event. I actually was excited to try this food truck as the photos on their Yelp page looked good... first mistake. The photos are incredibly outdated as this truck no longer serve mac and cheese nor collard greens, which are two dishes that I enjoy. Even their main fried chicken and waffle menu has gone from about ten items down to five. Nevertheless, I decided to get a fried chicken and waffle sandwich and ordered the Spicy and I Know It. It was honestly the saddest sandwich I have ever seen. The waffle was barely the same quality as what you would get at the continental breakfast served at your local inn. The cheese was sliced processed cheese that you get at Safeway and the fried chicken was worse than what you get at KFC. The cherry on top was that the maple syrup that they gave you with the waffles was a packaged condiment like what you would get at a fast food joint. I am truly shocked at the almost perfect score of this truck. Whether I give a place a perfect or a mediocre rating, I still somewhat understand the overall rating but in the case, I am truly lost.

We ordered an Achari chaap ( soya protein) and a Rumali roti for my husband. For myself I got their tandoori chicken which came with 2 drumsticks and two thighs. The chicken itself was juicy and definitely well marinated. The achari chaap was a bit tangy for my husband's liking but had great taste and flavor if you ask me. The Rumali roti was soft and fresh. We also had chai which was creamy and hot! Food came out quite fast even though they had said it would take 15 mins. A couple things that stood out were the portions, which were plentiful and the prices which are very reasonable.

However, we were told that bhaturas (and anything fried) aren't available after 10 PM, which was really disappointing. We were instead offered chole kulche, and since we didn't have many late-night options, we agreed. We were told the order would be ready in 15-20 minutes, but when we arrived, the food already felt cold, like it had been sitting out for a while. It got worse when we reached home--the kulchas were burnt, making the meal quite unpleasant. After a long day of travel, this was the last thing we expected. We were too tired to go back, but honestly, this was not acceptable. If you're advertising late hours, the quality and availability should match. This experience was really disappointing.

It was our turn and we stood there for about 15 minutes THEN he took our order. He could've at least acknowledged us that he will be right with us, but nope. We were just standing outside in the street, mind you that there are constant cars driving through and we had to keep scooting back and forth to make room for a car to drive by. It was already dangerous for us to be standing in the line, but to be waiting for that long?! I was going to walk to another truck, but we stuck it out.

I've also tried both the Chowmein and the Gobi Manchurian from here at a friend's place and I recommend them. I remember the Gobi Manchurian to be a good balance of spice and sweet and crispy.

It's the kind of meal that instantly reminds you of home-cooked North Indian food, made with care and love. The service is quick, and the staff is incredibly friendly and welcoming, which adds to the overall experience. They do have a small dine-in setup, but I personally opted for takeout. If you're craving authentic Punjabi flavors in the Bay Area, this place is an absolute must-try. Hidden gem alert--you don't want to miss this one!
