    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

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Ram S.

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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!

Tonight I was craving a home style chicken and rice dish similar to what my mom makes . Now I know it's not possible to get that from a restaurant, but the closest to that is the Donne biryani preparation that a few places offer in the Bay Area. So I looked up Yelp and found this spot. The fact that it already had 4.9 stars was reassuring but I didn't put too many expectations on it. But what I did was call the place and make sure they'd be open by the time I made that 28 mile drive. I spoke to a person named Sagar who took my order and told me to take my time getting there and drive carefully! Husband and I got there around 9:30pm and it's a cloud kitchen setup with kitchens in the back and a point of sale kiosk and counter at the front. As instructed I called Sagar and he came up to the counter with my food, and also let me know he had added a free dessert since I drove all the way from Hayward . Husband and I got home and immediately dug in and what can I say, the flavors totally took me back to my mom's kitchen. The Donne biryani was bursting with taste, and what made it superb was that the flavors were in balance, with neither the spices nor the aromatics being overpowering in any way. The other dish, the pepper chicken was epic by itself, and should have been enjoyed with a bread of some sort, because the biryani didn't need any accompaniment. As if this meal wasn't divine enough the cherry on top was the pineapple kesari dessert that Sagar kindly added to our takeout bag. Thanks Nalapaka, for a taste of home, away from home !

At first I thought that tiffin will be enough for us but then my kids quickly gobbled the idli and mini dosa and wanted more. So I ordered another plate of only idlis( has 3 big soft fluffy ones) and also took advantage of the happy hour to order a masala dosa for me. I am not the kind of mom who eats kids leftovers all the time. So I wanted my own dosa. For drinks, I did a medium strong filter coffee ( they make it to your customization and I was surprised to see they even had jaggery). My 9 year old took a mango lassi. Food was incredibly satisfying. Servers are very attentive and they came three times to our table offering more chutney and sambhar. We already had enough but if you like more sambhar and chutney with your food, this is heaven. One server even came with ghee for my little ones for idlis. I was so grateful. He was genuinely sweet to my kid. Felt a connection than just a business! Ambiance is classy and relaxed at the same time. Nobody gave me the side eye when my three year old was a little noisy. Have a corner for takeout containers for leftover food, very generous. I would highly recommend this place for its delicious food, relaxed atmosphere and friendly service. Prices are reasonable. They have happy hour daily from 3-6 pm and when we went at 5.30, the restaurant was more than 70% full on a Thursday. Eat early and save money too. We really had a very good time! PS- when you pay the bill ( you have to order and pay the bill before you eat at a room next to the dining area), do enter your phone number at the end and enroll in the loyalty program. I already redeemed an award today!

The dosa is crisp and the fermented flavor is delicate. The filtered coffee is popular so I had to try it, and I love it. I'm not sure everyone would like it though. It's a strong coffee, slightly bitter even with sugar. The milk is poured with a long pull to create foam. The foam is light, not creamy or velvety like a latte. It's a very small portion in a small cup, and it's HOT, very HOT. I like it but I can see how other people might not. I was confused the first time I went in to eat because seating and ordering is not typical. When you first walk in, you go to the host and they'll give you a number then you walk to the room to your left to order and pay. You're given a chip if you order a coffee or tea and move over to the right. You give your chip to the person preparing the drinks for you. They ask your preference and hand over the very HOT drink. Then you sit at the table with your number on it. Your food is brought over fairly quickly. They bring extra sambar and chutney if needed, no extra charge. The dosa comes filled with turmeric spiced potato and on the side chutney (not my fave) and sambar which is so so good. You break a little dosa and dip and or scoop some of the sambar/ chutney. It's a casual setting and it gets pretty busy, especially on weekends. There are a ton of these types of restaurants and I'm pretty certain I've found the best one here!

I apologized, but one of the staff members called it out loudly in front of the other waiting customers, which felt a bit embarrassing. I believe the situation could have been handled more professionally and privately. Better staff training for situations like this would improve the customer experience. That said, the food itself was absolutely amazing. The buffet had a very large vegetarian selection with plenty of variety, and everything we tried was delicious. The service was a little slow initially when it came to bringing fresh bread (naan, etc.), refilling buffet items, and clearing soiled dishes from the table. However, it improved as the meal went on, and the staff was much better after the initial interaction. One other suggestion is regarding the dining hall temperature. We visited during the summer, and it felt quite warm inside. The door was kept open, but turning on the air conditioning would have made the dining experience much more comfortable. Despite the disappointing start, the excellent food made the visit worthwhile, and I would consider coming back.
