My best friend and I got dinner here last Wednesday. We had been wanting to try this place for a couple months now and finally got to!!! The restaurant is pretty small but very vibrant and there is lots of greenery (fake greenery but greenery nonetheless). We didn't know what to get so the waiter recommended the sampler.. I don't really remember what it was called but there is a card on the table describing it. We also asked him where we should start once it came out and he gave us his recommendations on what to start with. We didn't quite listen though and dug into the chicken sandwiches at the bottom. They were so good!!! We ended up getting a second round of sandwiches. There was also a sweet and spicy chicken on the bottom and it was also very delicious!! The middle section had a lot of sauces, which we used for the sandwich, and samosas. I don't really like samosas but my best friend thoroughly enjoyed them. Then there were these balls of hollow dough that you would break a hole into and put the green sauce in then take one big bite. I ate two and then was done. Fun experience for that. Finally, we got to dessert. It was like a sweet Rangoon with like sweet cream/yogurt inside and a filling next to it with nuts and sauce. It was very yummy! I got more of that too! Fun experience if you like an experience while eating. They also had some others thing that I will go back to try.
I was too geeked to come here! I saw this place on IG and saved it in my visit soon folder so when this came up I jumped all over it. So, when I arrived I was thrilled at the decor and just the amazing aromas that hits you as soon as you come in the door. We could choose where to sit, so I found myself sitting towards the back on the wall. As others came in, the seats started to fill up and the room began to feel lively. Alina was a great host and dope for the idea to have High Tea and invite us Yelpies into the experience. Once the food came out, I got excited as our table was the first to attack. The food was absolutely delicious....ALTHOUGH I feel like the panipuri had it out for me. It definitely gave you a kick in the back of your throat ... a good kick but nevertheless a kick lol. Made my eyes water just a tad. The butter chicken sliders....yea it got me too. I didn't realize I had a whole pepper in mine and bit into it and my mouth was suddenly on fire...lips and all. I stay warm for a least 15min. I'm not mad at it though. The slider was delicious. The mango lassi....ummm hmmm super tasty and delicious. I can't wait to come back and try other foods on the menu. It was a great experience and amazing food.
The concept of this place is great. The decor and the whole vibe is very instagram esthetics. However as an Indian I was very disappointed with the food. They seem to cater more for individual that have no idea what Indian food is or I can say combining two cuisines together. During the time we went there was only one server and he was very friendly. We ordered: Chicken puff: 8/10 Pav vada: 4/10 (too spicy and to many extra sauces) Mango lassi 10/10 Butter chicken rice bowl 1/10 to many sauces (no concept) I wanted to try them out and I'm happy I did but this was more of a one time go to, I won't be going back. Parking is available
I was excited to try this cafe as I'd seen beautiful photos on Instagram but sadly it was a disappointment. While the decor, nachos and chai were all decent, here's why I am rating it lower: - Discontinued menu items - to start out they handed each individual menu one by one after we asked for it as in the food, then drinks and then dessert menu. After ordering, the waiter came back and let us know the kashmiri chai had been discontinued while there was no indication of this on their menu. When we ordered dessert, he came back to our table and told us the entire back side of the dessert menu was discontinued. Are you kidding me?! If you don't make those drinks and dishes anymore, please remove from your menu. - Chipped glass chai cup - as my sister was drinking her chai she realized her glass was chipped and almost cut her lip on it. While the waiter did take it away, I'd appreciate if the cafe was more careful. A chipped glass is so dangerous! - Lastly, the falooda was missing key ingredients. It had no vermicelli or fruit like it showed in the picture and in the list of menu ingredients. I was really hoping for a nice experience at a Desi cafe especially since there's such a small number of these in Michigan. I hope they learn from their mistakes and serve their guests better in the future.
The vibes of this place are super cute! I went with my friend and it was such a fun time - it wasn't busy luckily, so we were able to sit and enjoy for a few hours. We got the high chai option, which was all you can eat. It included chicken sandwiches, chili chicken, samosas, pani puri, and some desserts. The waiter was kind and didn't mind that we stayed so long. The set up was beautiful. I think people expect amazing Indian food but honestly it's a perfect place to have some basic snacks and tea. They also had some games you could play. I would definitely come back again with friends or as a date! Only minus one star because, while the seating totally matched the aesthetic, it was slightly uncomfortable. The seats are covered with fake grass and not super soft.
Absolutely beautiful south-asian and middle eastern fusion restaurant. The decor itself should elicit a visit- it's that stunning. The details from the mini chai cups to water being served from clay jugs were such a nice touch to an already eclectic space. I went with a friend and ordered the high chai for 2. The spread did not disappoint, we were happy with the assortment of lamb samosas, butter chicken sliders, pani puri (with delicious curry chole), and assortment of desi style biscuits for our masala chai. We also had ras malai to finish it all off. For $30, you cannot beat the assortment of items. What blew our experience out of the water was the exceptional customer service. Mustafa was beyond attentive and answered every single question we threw at him. Additionally, he went above and beyond to cater to our special requests. I will definitely be returning!
Friends and I made it out on a 10 degree day in January. This was the perfect place to go when it was freezing out. The restaurant is beautifully and brightly decorated, inspired by food trucks (which explains the name!) of the area. We were greeted right away. We ordered a pot of chai that was recommended to us, brought out on a brightly colored tray and pot. It was hot and milky, drank out of small glasses. I think Indian food is a shared meal, we ordered several dishes to share. We started with the lamb samosas, crispy outside, flavorful meat inside. Next the loaded fries, this was a fun take on the loaded fries. Then large plates of their Gobi dum Biryari and the "rice bowl" with the tandoori chicken. Lots of flavorful spices, the cauliflower had a bit of a kick, the rest was mild (unless you ask for a higher spice level). I do not think it was the best Indian food I've had in Metro Detroit, but very enjoyable and paired with the vibrant decor, was a great experience. Someone else mentioned poor service, we did not have any issues. At the end, someone came to other table to see how our experience was. They are newer, and worth a visit.
Wonderful little hidden gem of a cafe and eatery. Vibrant decor and great art make for a great aesthetic. The service we received from our waiter was phenomenal. High tea service was lovely. But the food... the food was the main star. I think I could live off of the xxx bang bang shrimp forever. And the butter chicken tandoori pizza was life changing. So many fun and unique items to try. We also had the lamb sliders. Very savory with a delicious chutney.
Everything was so good! We have never tried this type of cuisine and we enjoyed everything! V R and the other server were attentive and informative. It is also so cute in here! We will be back again!
Overall enjoyed my visit to the Trucks Park (hosted by MedEx and Paradise). My party unintentionally end up ordering just from the Paradise menu. Items we ordered: - pani puri: overall very fresh and tasty, my only recommendation would be to make the flavored pani/water less thick like it's intended to be - veggie samosas: do not recommend ordering, very dry and the mint chutney was mid - loaded fries (with chicken): HIGHLY recommend, amazing!! - kati tacos with crispy chicken: flavors were good, but I expected the chicken to be a little crispier -- strong flavors for the perfect twist - chicken sliders: also flavorful, definitely worth trying - Kashmiri chai: just needs a hint of extra sugar, but great otherwise Service was good, everyone was welcoming and friendly. The decor itself it worth checking out. The entire menu is Halal!!! Overall rating 4 out of 5. The reason for this is because a "High Chai Time" is advertised from 5-7 pm. We arrived with plenty of time before 7 pm and they didn't honor it. Would love to try this High Chai Time next time I'm in town if they have the option.
Fun and playful space. Food was decent, but the total experience was the reason to come back.
Cute spot, we had dessert and chai. The desserts were tasty. The presentation of everything was nice. They were short staff but yet very hospitable and attentive . Will be visiting again to try some of the other suggested menu items

While I loved the ambience with the rustic Indi theme and cute little decorative pieces, I was disappointed with the food. We ordered loaded fried and paradise platter. The food was bland and most of the items on the platter tasted similar. We asked for spicy ketchup which didn't go well with the items. We were informed towards the end that we should have mentioned spice level while ordering. Felt like this was something the server could have asked promptly. Also, Most of the items on the beverage menu were unavailable. read more

Let's start with a decor. This place is so cute! I absolutely love all the color, from the umbrellas hanging from the ceiling, the art on the walls, bench covers, and pillows. It's a vibe. Our server was a sweet young lady who gave us great recommendations and provided great service for the most part. At one point, it seemed like she was trying to rush us to pay, although the restaurant was half empty. We did pay but asked her to give us some space so that we could enjoy our conversation. It was my first time and I wanted to try a few things. I had the lamb smashburger, the butter chicken tacos, and the shrimp tacos with a cup of masala chai on side. Everything was on point. I don't have one complaint. The food came out hot and everything was full of flavor. The portions were generous, especially the meat on the tacos, although I would not have minded one more shrimp on each taco, and the burger had with plenty of fries. Everything was so delicious. It's really hard for me to pick a favorite out of the three dishes I had. I would definitely order them all again and I look forward to coming back so I can try some other things on the menu. read more
Neat idea. Got there all you can eat tower. Chicken and vegetarian options. Small little restaurant with about 10-12 tables, some benches for larger parties. Staff was helpful. Chicken included chicken 65. Gol cuppa, chicken sandwich, carrot hawla, ras mali and gulab jamun. The veggie was- paneer sandwich and gobi Manchurian. With everything else listed above Both options were all you can eat so can order more of anything you like for $25. Unlimited tea. But ask for less milk. Chai was kinda cold, warm at best but too milky Really want to try their pizza next. Chicken or paneer tikka people had ordered looked really good! Lamb smash burgers... omg read more

The whole cafe is decorated beautifully and the ambiance is so comfortable and relaxed. The waitress was very sweet and helpful. The food was absolutely amazing, the only inconvenience we experienced was not having certain things on the menu even though they seemed to be popular items and the food took a while to come out but the dishes made up for the wait. read more

Detroit halal eats is a scam. Everytime I follow her something goes down! I was sent here because they have the new viral mango icecreams. They're taxing like crazy $12 per icecream mango. $84 dollars down the drain. The packaging was sticky, not well taken care of. All of the mango icecream was broken and they told us this AFTER we paid. We had to use "Venmo or Zelle" do not recommend. They're taxing like crazy and all of their icecreams are broken and melted. Don't waste your money there's better icecream at baskin robins. They were not friendly at all. read more
I love that there's a South Asian cafe in the area to cater to the large community here. I do think this leans a little heavier for being more about the food than the drinks, so I would recommend coming here for dinner rather than a place to hang out and get coffee or tea after. The main differentiator is definitely the interior aesthetic, with the ceiling lined in Desi-style umbrellas and each wall reflecting art from South Asia or the Middle East. While there's a decent amount of space here, I would recommend trying to go with a party of 4 or less, as it can get pretty tight at the tables with more. We ordered the butter chicken pizza to split, and I got the crispy chicken sliders and the Mocha latte for myself. The sliders were great, and the latte was really flavorful, although it was smaller than I would have liked. I thought the pizza was okay, and could have used a little more flavor. All in all, this is a really cool place to bring friends and enjoy the atmosphere. read more

Absolutely amazing experience! Our waiter, Mustafa, knew the menu like the back of his hand and explained what certain items on the menu were to us that we did not know. We felt like we ordered only a few things off the menu but the quantity of food you get with each order was so abundant! Didn't know it would take over our whole table. And everything was so yummy! Definitely recommend stopping here if you're ever in the area. Next time I'm in town I'll definitely be stopping by and bringing my family with me. 10/10 experience! read more
