    Samosa Chaat
    Bindu A.

    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

    Butter Vada Pav
    Mayank B.

    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. They have a screen on the food truck where they play some Indian songs or sometimes movies. They also have an enclosed space to sit to avoid the wind outside.

    Pav bhaji
    Chaithanya M.

    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.

    "I had an amazing experience at this store. The food is absolutely delicious, with a great variety. There's also ample parking, and the staff is very kind and helpful. I would definitely rate it 5 out of 5 stars."

    Vada Pav
    Akshata D.

    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

    Chicken tikka wrap
    Sho R.

    I was at Madhu's Idiyappakada and noticed that this food truck has even more loyal customers, so decided to give it a try. And food here was really good. Chicken tikka wrap was probably my favorite. Vada pav and pani puri were excellent as well. I liked the veg fried rice as well.

    Our go to place for (have had each atleast 5 times): Vada Pav - 5* Tava Pulav - 5* Also tried: Bhajji Pav - 5* (Photo attached) Pav Bhaji - 1* Misal Pav - 2* Inspite of being food truck - they have a nice, covered seating area.

    Mumbai Express Vada Pav

    Absolutely loved Mumbai Express One of the best vada pavs I've had in the Bay Area, perfectly spiced, fresh, and so nostalgic. And the chai? So good. Comforting and strong. Everything tasted authentic and made with so much love and care. Can't wait to go back and try more items from their menu. Thank you so much Sandesh for the amazing service

    Mangi lassiVada paav
    Manali D.

    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.

    Sabudana vada
    Srujan N.

    Due to a longer wait for food from the adjacent food truck, we decided to give this place a try, and it turned out to be a good experience. The Mumbai express vada pav was pretty good. We also tried the sabudana vada, which was nice. Food was ready quickly.

    Misal Pav
    Adit S.

    If you're craving authentic Mumbai street food, Mumbai Express is a gem you can't miss! We tried the misal pav, sabudana vada, Schezwan fried rice, and their special amrutalya chai--and every single item was spot on. The flavors were bold, fresh, and took us straight back to the streets of Mumbai. What made the experience even better was meeting the owner, Amruta, who is incredibly warm and welcoming. You can tell there's a lot of love and authenticity behind this food truck. Highly recommend it to anyone looking for real, Mumbai-style comfort food with a smile.

    Ram S.

    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

While the presentation of the biryani was nice - the flavor was rather flat and blah. The Goan curry was harsh - you could taste the spices were raw and had a bitter after taste. The waiter said that this was a spicy dish - not at all ! It was so mild. The fish portion was rather small. The aloo gobi was slightly overcooked and a little too salty. The butter naan was great - fluffy and tasted great. Unfortunately we won't be coming back to this place.

What we got was 16 oz of chicken gravy, chicken 65, 32 oz of rice with 6 basic baked chicken drumsticks, the curd and vetrilai payasam, and three hard-boiled eggs (wtf!). So six out of eight advertised dishes. And one was just eggs--they take like five minutes to make at home!!! It is hard to compare value since there were chicken drumsticks in the rice but we did not receive two entire dishes in "payment" of the drumsticks. And, ironically, we'd specifically picked this option because it was chilly and we wanted chicken soup, which ended up not being included. So...basically either false advertising or confusion at the restaurant about what is posted online. Either way, we were disappointed.
