My husband is a huge fan of this place! Because of him, I decided to give this place a try. He said it reminded him of a home aka Mumbai! I absolutely enjoyed the items we got, can't wait to go again and try! - Vada Pav 11/10 - Sev or Dani Puri Chaat 10/10 - Mumbai sandwich 9/10 - Misal Pav 10/10 - Pav Bhaji 10/10 Service was great, super sweet folks! Ambiance: It was truly a busy place, the service is great and wish they would open up more locations! I can't to go back and try addl items from their menu read more

***USP: Maharashtrian style chaat truck. They are in a tiny food truck pod which has two other trucks. They have a TV attached to the truck playing Bollywood style music and a small covered and heated area for sitting and enjoying the food. ***FOOD: they have meat and vegetarian options for chaat, sandwiches, wraps etc. We got misal pav, chicken sandwich, samosa chaat. I was disappointed by the misal pav. It had way too much of the overpowering spices which are typically used in garam masala. We are not the ones to leave food but we couldn't complete this dish. The kids got the chicken sandwich and the samosa chaat and they were happy with their dishes. read more

After multiple visits, I can confidently recommend Mumbai Express to anyone craving authentic Mumbai street food in the Bay Area. I first tried this place because I was seriously missing Mumbai-style flavors. On our first visit, we ordered vada pav, cutting chai, potato bhajji pav, and a chicken tikka sandwich. I was slightly disappointed with the vada pav--it lacked salt, and the outer layer was a bit too thick for my liking. However, the potato bhajji pav was pure delight--crispy, adequately stuffed, and absolutely satisfying. The dry chutney they add is incredibly tasty and truly takes the dish to the next level. The chicken tikka sandwich was good as well. On our second visit, we repeated a few favorites and also tried the Kolhapuri misal, which turned out to be the star of the day. It was very authentic, flavorful, and had that perfect spicy kick that instantly transported us back to Mumbai. On our third visit, we tried the spinach bhajji pav along with some of our previous favorites. It was slightly oily for my personal taste, but my husband thoroughly enjoyed it. Even though they are a food truck, they do have a small tent-style makeshift dining area with a few tables for customers. That said, I personally prefer taking the food to-go--I'm still getting used to (and comfortable with) the food truck culture here in the Bay Area. What stands out the most is that you can truly feel the chef's love for Mumbai in each and every dish. The flavors are nostalgic, comforting, and made with heart. 1000% recommended for anyone missing Mumbai street food or wanting to experience it for the first time. read more

We ordered just a samosa chat at this place. Loved it! First, they used yellow batani (yellow peas) instead of garbanzos exactly like the chaat I'm used to eating back home in Hyderabad. Haven't seen that here in the BayArea before. Nostalgic! Perfectly spicy and crispy samosas too. My only complaint was that it was served lukewarm! A big downer for me. Otherwise it is a 5-star. I will be coming back and asking to serve it hot read more

Love the Vada Pav at this place. Have been going here just for that. Rest of the stuff is . The Service here is good an ambience is good as well.

Pav bhaji is one of my all-time favorites so I was excited to try it at Mumbai Express food truck. Honestly, it was just okay! It didn't really taste like proper pav bhaji to me. The gravy felt more like it was loaded with garam masala and had a strong tomato heavy flavor rather than that balanced street-style taste you expect. For $12.99 I definitely feel like they could do better and stick closer to the authentic recipe. read more

We had pav Bhaji, mumbai sandwich and sukha bhel. Sorry to say but the pav bhaji didnt taste authentic at all and had a weird masala taste. The buns were dry and filled with chilli powder for some reason. We ordered the sukha bhel mild for my kid, but it came super spicy so they didnt not take the request into consideration. However, they did give a refund on that. The Mumbai sandwich was way too loaded with potato and beetroot and it had no taste at all. I would really suggest to improve the dishes and not sell mumbai dishes just for namesake. read more

If you're craving authentic Mumbai street food in the Bay Area, Mumbai Express is a hidden gem you need to try! I went all in and sampled quite a bit -- from classic Vada Pav and spicy Misal to comforting Pav Bhaji and crispy Sabudana Vada. Every dish reminded me of home -- bold flavors, generous portions, and that true street-style touch. Their Kolhapuri Misal was perfectly spiced, the Bombay Sandwich was fresh and filling, and the Amul Pav Bhaji was buttery and nostalgic. I also loved the Sai Amruttulya chai -- strong, flavorful, and just the right way to end the meal. Fast service, clean setup, and super satisfying food. It's my new go-to for quick, flavorful Indian street eats in Santa Clara. Highly recommend this place if you miss Mumbai's food read more

We went here on a weekday evening, they have some tables outside where you can sit and have your meal, quite a decent setup. they have a kiosk to order so it was very easy to order we got vada paav which was really good 5/5, tasty vada and chutneys, size was great too Paav bhaji was decent 3/5 Magi lassi was also good We saw many people taking bhaji paav which we regretted not ordering , so will definitely go back for it later since that's our favorite thing from Mumbai. Highlight was that there is TV outside the food truck which was playing amazing 90s Bollywood songs and that added to our food truck experience. read more

Excellent chaat focused food truck. Authentic flavors, good spices and reminded me of Mumbai food. I stumbled upon them by chance last week. Located in the parking lot of the Udupi restaurant with plenty of spots to park. They have a few tables to sit and eat if you want too. My favorites so far are the Pav Bhaji (fresh, good portion and tasty) and the masala Vada Pav ( good portion with green chilli and sauce). Service is quick, polite and kind. Will definitely return again soon to try out other items read more

Tried the masala egg omelette pav today - 5 stars for service, 3 for taste. Felt like it was rushed - big pieces of onion, haldi, lack of salt and didn't have enough cohesiveness through sauces. It tasted like bread and omelette- nothing wrong with that, maybe I'm just picky :) loved the seating area and the fun Bollywood music videos. Wish them luck - will be back to try other things! read more

If you're looking for a taste of Mumbai right in your neighborhood, look no further than Mumbai Express by Amruta and Sandesh! We've been lucky enough to visit a few times, and each experience has been a culinary delight. The vada pav is an absolute must-try--perfectly spiced and served with amazing chutney that takes it to another level. The pav bhaji is a warm, comforting dish packed with flavors, and the buttery pav on the side is just the cherry on top. And let's not forget the chaat! It's a fantastic mix of textures and tastes, making it a fun, mouthwatering snack. also, the most amazing mango lassi. The atmosphere is always friendly, and the service is quick and welcoming. Amruta and Sandesh really know how to capture the essence of Mumbai street food in every dish. Highly recommend checking out Mumbai Express if you haven't already! You won't be disappointed! read more

It was mediocre and some off the food was great but I saw a hair there while eating my food

This plc has some really good Mumbai street food. My fav was the chai and misal paav. They hv batata Bhajji and palak bhajji which is too good and unique. Other street foods like bread pakora, paav bhaji. Veg and Non Veg Thalis are also amazing and must try it. They do have limited place to seat and enjoy food bt food is great and you can stand and enjoy food while watching TV which is installed on their truck. read more

The food was delicious and fresh. The owner is from Mumbai, so you can expect the most authentic taste here. I highly recommend the Vada Pav and Pav Bhaji, it tastes just like it does in Mumbai. There is some wait time as they make the food fresh and hot. Strongly recommend this place. Definitely coming back for more! read more

Mumbai Express - Got Paneer Tikka Wrap, but ordered chicken tikka wrap! - Food Trucks Near Me - Santa Clara, California

Ok- this is NOT cool!! I do not like to write bad reviews unless something like this happens!!!! We found this food truck and the first time around loved the vada-pav and sabudana vada. So we ordered again last Saturday and my little picky eater chose the chicken tikka sandwich- which she was enjoying until a hair came in her mouth! Yuck! At this point she had eaten majority of the sandwich and looking at this strand of hair almost made us throw up! NOT COOL guys!! This was a major disappointment. Picture is attached. I am sorry but you need to up your hygiene standards!!!! I was tempted to call right away and post this review but it was late at night and we lost all appetite and spent time reassuring my daughter that she would be okay. read more

1 star given by a person on yelp seems to be paid review by competitors to malign the name of this food truck so beware! My experience with this food truck is below. I recently visited the Mumbai Express food truck and was blown away by the authentic Mumbai flavors. The Masala Vada Pav was crispy and perfectly spiced, bringing back memories of the streets of Mumbai. The Dahi Puri was a delightful mix of sweet, spicy, and tangy, while the Kolhapuri Misal packed a punch with its robust, spicy kick. The Kokam Sarbat was refreshing and balanced, perfect for cooling down after the spicy dishes. The rolls were stuffed with fresh ingredients and full of flavor. Even the tea was spot on, a comforting end to the meal. If you're craving true Mumbai street food, Mumbai Express is the place to go! read more

My friend tried chicken tikka roll. Too much sauce very less meat. We thought it would be grilled but too messy to eat. Not worth the price and wait for it. Then he ordered just one vada paav and they charged full price for it. Not customer focused and doesn't care about quality of food. His stomach got upset too. read more

Honestly I don't want to leave a negative review to any small eatery. We love to support small entrepreneurs. But last night I had a bad experience and will never visit the place again. I've ordered a Chicken fried rice for my kids about 10pm and got the to go pack and went home. On reaching my kid started eating the fried rice and started complaining that it looked / tasted like biriyani. I thought my kid was just pranking me and when I tasted it I understood she wasn't wrong. It looked like As if someone took the veg biriyani and added few chicken pieces and reheated it. read more

Food, and service are best. Have tried most of the snack menu, and love everything. Has authentic and unique taste, unlike the indo-american versions found at most places. I never like pav bhaji as a dish, but surprisingly enjoy the pav bhaji here. Owner is accommodating for any requests, and food seems freshly made every time. Been a regular door dash spot for me. read more

Sandesh and Nidhi were quite the team - from recommendations to service. This was an instinctive stop on a hungry stomach - it didn't disappoint. The Pavbhaji was recommended(thanks, Nidhi) and the masala pav with it was a nice touch over the top. As Sandesh said - everything Mumbai ishtyle, with pav tastes better. Tried vadapav, loved the preparation and the garlicky (there's your warning) tastes. Bhaji pav without the pav was one for simple yet good delicacy. Will go back for the food and the people. read more
