Listen. This should be a five star review. But I have to warn my fellow spice-wimps! THE FOOD FROM SIZZLIN' MASALA IS FIVE STAR BOMB! It is SO good. But if you're like me, and just hella sensitive to spicy foods, you gotta exercise caution with this one. My partner and I got food to go, two loaded burritos (one pakora fish, the other chicken masala), a Naan Chalupa with paneer masala, and a chai horchata! It did take about 30 minutes for it all to come together; but I urge you to remember that 'food truck' means 'mobile' and not 'fast food.' Good things come to those who wait! The Chai Horchata is SO GOOD! Like drinking a gingerbread cookie made especially for you by your grandma. I would go back for that alone. In fact, I regret not getting two because I'd definitely have delighted in not having to share. Swing by for that alone. Now the food? My partner ordered everything mild; which has got to be a relative thing because both burritos and the chalupa had such heat that I couldn't take more than a few bites of any of them before my mouth felt like it was on fire! I wish that I had any sort of tolerance because everything was so flavorful; incredibly flavorful! Just too dang hot for my wimpy tastebuds! The loaded chicken burrito was the messier of the two--downright greasy so be prepared! Ask for extra napkins or have some on standby if you take it to go. I'm coming back for you, Sizlin' Masala! Maybe not right away, but I'm coming back! Your food is so good! I just have to build up my spicy-heat-tolerance first! read more

Not sure but they changed the cheese bread. And the price are why to high for what they have there in the salad bar.

After reading other reviews, I expected a super friendly greeting at the truck, but was instead greeted with, "Do ya know what you want?" No warmth, but not rude either. It was what I'd expect in a busy New York deli. We waited nearly 20 minutes for our food, but my son said his chicken masala was a little cold inside of his burrito. He said it was just okay, not bad. My husband said his burrito was mushy and couldn't tell there was chicken in it. He wasn't impressed, and I was surprised after all of the glowing reviews. Fortunately, the samosas were fantastic. They were perfectly crispy outside, seasoned and soft inside, and the green sauce was the best. I'd return just for samosas and sauces. My butter chicken and garlic Naan were also amazing. We ordered two garlic Naans, but I expected more pieces. My husband reminded me that they weren't serving sizes of tortillas. Good point. They were so garlicky and fluffy that you might need two servings for one person. (Maybe it's enough if you order rice too, but we didn't order rice). I just dipped the Naan in the creamy butter sauce. They didn't give me a fork, and we were too lazy to walk back in the rain. I got full from the samosa and garlic Naan and still have butter chicken leftovers. 16 Oz is good for 3-4 small servings. The rich sauce is filling on its own. read more

THE BEST INDIAN FOOD IN MODESTO!! fish pakora is amazing. Chile chicken is so delicious. The butter chicken is perfect. Seriously nothing is bad here. We like to get things family style vs individual (ie: burritos, torta, nachos, etc...) We did try the nachos and the flavors are great but the chips were a little stale. Still excellent flavor but we just prefer to eat everything family style. The torta was very good. You can't go wrong with anything you try here! THIS IS A MUST!!! I wish I could post pics but we dig in before we can take pics. Also, the sauces that come with the samosas, the green, the tamarind, and the chili sauce. OUT OF THIS WORLD. the spice levels are so delicious and they aren't too sweet, they aren't too spicy. They're so robust and have the best mix of Mexican and Indian flavors. read more

Indian / Mexican Fusion ‍ so so so good !! Everything is full of flavor , you can't go wrong with any of the menu items. Their samosas are the best I've had around they are packed full of flavor. Not pictured is their chai horchata which is a must get if you're a lover of either drinks! The service was great , & the order was ready fairly quick. They also have a well set seating area if you'd like to stay and have your food there great vibes and food all the way around ! read more

Sizzlin’ Masala - Nacho fríes - Indian Near Me - Modesto, California

Wow! I'm actually really impressed! First timer and I was a little hesitant to try Indian Fusion Food outta of a food truck but this why you gotta get out of your comfort zone. I got the Naan Chalupa with my choice of butter chicken as my protein. It was really freaking good. I thought it was a little much on the saucy side but at the end, I had leftover naan to where I was able to scoop it up on the bread. Like a little sweet surprise. My bf got the chicken tikka masala burrito and he really liked his. Not spicy at all. I also got the samosa and freaking fiiire man. Perfectly crispy on the outside but nicely seasoned potatoes and peas in the inside. The sauces that come with *chef's kiss* pairs perfectly with the samosas. I got the mango lassi and it was pretty good. It reminds me of a mango smoothie but using Greek yogurt's as the base. The dude who took my order is pretty cool. They accept card! I'll definitely be coming again and trying new things. read more

I'm sad that this is not there anymore because it was so good. There was a lot of really delicious things to order. Food was really good. The service was really good. The people there were so nice prices were good. It was conveniently located. I hope it comes back. read more

I was going to Trader Joe's and I noticed this Indian truck off to the side so I stopped to get my daughter something to eat. I was surprised when I seen the menu because it had all kinds of Mexican options. So I asked the guy who was in the truck and he said it was Indian fusion. Indian & Mexican. That the only straight Indian item was the butter chicken or goat curry . My daughter wanted the butter chicken and rice . So I ordered a 16 oz butter chicken and 16 oz basmati rice. He said that was good for 1 person. Butter chicken was $10 and the rice was $6. Pretty pricey. My daughter loved the chicken & rice. I tried a bite and it was very good. I would like to try the chalupa next time . I wouldn't get the butter chicken and rice again. Way too expensive for what you get. Super cool idea for a food truck. read more

Mango lassi always bomb, got to try the horchata chai this time and it was divineeeegarlic naan 100/10, always love this place the people who work there are so nice and I got there righttt before closing too (which can stress ppl out but they were sooo nice) and the food is always fresh made for you love this place sm!!!

While returning from Yosemite, I was craving for tacos and stumbled up on this Desi Mexican fusion food truck in Modesto. It was a 10/15 min detour but worth it.

A breath of fresh air to Modesto's food truck scene. Finally some culinary genius decided to have an Indian- Mexican fusion truck, I mean it only makes sense for the diverse cultures of the central valley.. Right? Amazing food... Great Customer Service. Samosas OMFG! and those lamb kabobs. It's obvious in the flavors they are not taking any short cuts in the food. A+ read more

Sizzlin’ Masala - Great location at the Firestone tires in modesto. - Indian Near Me - Modesto, California

Food was great! Got the burrito with chicken masala and combo Naan Torta with chicken masala, samosa + mango lassi. Price is reasonable for the quantity of food. Only "compliant" is the naan torta was a bit messy to eat and would fall apart, but other than that would still very recommend. Staff was really approachable and made small talk while ordering. read more

Delicious! Friendly and fast service. My favorites were the masala chicken loaded fries and the paneer naan chalupa. We got everything "not spicy" and I thought it was the perfect amount of heat. I think those 2 dishes must be the most popular on the menu because they were incredible! Everything was packaged well, no issues with spills or smells in the car. Food didn't take long, we went at dinner time. read more

Sizzlin’ Masala - Telephone number for ordering, or arranging catering. - Indian Near Me - Modesto, California

I love Indian food and have been looking for a delicious, new place in Modesto. I heard about Sizzlin' Masala through Eatingthe209, so I thought I'd try it. First the is a super interesting concept that I'm not sure I appreciated at first. We got the: Samosas- First these samosas are HUGE. Fresh and stuffed with deliciousness. I could eat 4 as a meal. Though they are so big I probably couldn't finish 4. Chicken Tandoori Quesadilla- holy moly. So good. Perfect cheesiness, no weird chicken pieces and was STUFFED. Beware- it's messy. Butter Chicken- the reason for four stars. This was not good. Like it was missing cream? There was no "umph" to this. Naan-siiiiiigh, so the Naan was packed with cilantro. I HATE cilantro. It doesn't mention cilantro on the menu. My husband said it was great. Fluffy and perfect! We'll be back and will try other items now that we know what to order. Oh - and the guy working was SUPER nice! Try it, you won't be disappointed! read more

I was just passing through for work and found this place driving by. The Food is amazing! I can rarely eat a full burrito, but the butter chicken burrito was gone in one sitting. So. GOOD. Get the chai. Hands down the best marriage of beverages Ive had. Would love to see a more spicy version available. Whoever took my order was friendly and even offered a sample of the chai when I asked about it. Worth a stop. I went each day I was in town. read more

The service was so friendly and welcoming! He told us all about the menu and the stories behind the meals. As for the food- it didn't taste like a food truck, it was soooo fresh and the flavors were perfection. I'm so happy we stopped and tried it! A great spot, great people, and wonderful food! read more

Sizzlin’ Masala - Indian Near Me - Modesto, California

Literally the best food in the area. They can make ANY item vegan. And Joe, one of the owners, proved that by making me the first vegan quesadilla he's ever made. With the magical sauces that they use, I promise that you will not even miss the cheese. SO good. I also got the Samosa Chaat, which comes with a chana masala that is better than any I've had from any Indian restaurant. The same can be said for the samosas themselves. Super excited to try the tacos, burritos, tortas, chalupas and pretty much the entire menu since Joe apparently has the power to veganize anything. I consider it the greatest of all superpowers. ‍ read more

Everything we have tried has been delicious so many options and vegan choices as well!!! Workers are so friendly and offer great service. It's a must try if your in Modesto! read more

Finally gave Sizzlin' Masala a try after driving by numerous times and seeing others post about it. Customer service is exceptional! Had a misunderstanding when ordering and they def made up for it, so that was wonderful! The flavors in all 3 dishes we ordered were very good. I'm honestly not too big of a fan of the seasoning for the masala chicken, but that's just me. The mango lassiwss delicious. Probably will go back again to try something else, or give the lamb a chance instead of the chicken. read more

This is my first time trying an indian-mexican fusion and it was great. I ordered the following: Chicken Burrito, Naan Chicken Chalupa, Samosas, and Mango Lassi. All were phenomenal. Service was great. This is a food truck, there is seating next to the truck, but I took my food to-go. Overall, great place, large portions, good food... and I plan to return to try other menu options. read more

Stopped here while house hunting in the area. We are into trying fusion foods. To start : customer service was stellar. Chatted with us during ordering, recommended a few of the most popular items on the menu. My husband loves spice but I'm a lightweight, and they were very accommodating by putting sauces on the side for us so that we could share the items. Got the chicken burrito, lamb kebab plate, garlic naan, and samosas. Also tried the mango lassi. For context, I have NEVER had a mango lassi I've actually liked so I was hesitant to buy it. My husband was vibing with the owner so he said "yup let's do it!" I'm glad he did. It's the best I've ever had! I wish we had gotten two so I didn't have to share. Kebab was by far my favorite thing. My husband really loved his burrito, spiced greatly. Samosas were fragrant and dusted in a spice/salt mix that made eating even the crust by itself enjoyable. Garlic naan was fresh fresh. All food was hot and I'm telling you, we were impressed. Definitely a place worth trying and reasonably priced. Cost $50 even, and I was prepared to pay upwards of 75 for everything we'd gotten. Definitely recommend!!! Fingers crossed the house hunting goes well so we can make this food truck a regular stop. read more

Finally tried this truck I bookmarked a while back. Grabbed a loaded burrito with spicy sizzlin sauce (went with chicken masala) and a lamb seekh kebab. The guy taking orders was super friendly, making it a pleasant experience. The burrito was huge with a great mix of rice, beans, cheese, onions, and chicken. The fusion of Mexican and Indian flavors was spot on, although I wished for a tad more spice - the pickled veggies on the side did help. I'm picky about mutton due to gaminess, but the lamb seekh kebab here nailed it - fresh, flavorful, and paired perfectly with basmati rice. Overall, a delightful lunch, and I'm eager to explore more from their menu. read more

We ordered the chicken masala chalupa, butter chicken/rice/naan/mango kheer special of the day, loaded samosas, regular samosas, mango lassi and the chai horchata. Everything was SO GOOD! I still can't stop talking about it and telling all my friend to give this place a try. While everything was exceptional- the stand out to me was the mango kheer! I would cross the 7 seas for more! The creaminess of the rice pudding with a slight hint of mango topped with shaved almonds was such a nice pairing. I also loved that it wasn't too sweet. Perfect ending to a delicious dinner. read more

Delicious food, kind people, reasonable pricing... What more can I say? Almost any dish can be made vegetarian/vegan too! Ask for the soya masala as your protein. I can't recommend this place enough. Keep it up guys! read more

Crazy good, super delicious! Had the lamb sheesh kebab this time, seriously outrageous. Get a couple orders of garlic naan with it and an extra mint chutney, you can't go wrong. I've had a lot of things on their menu and am never disappointed. read more

My husband, my son and I walk by all the time on our walks in the morning and night so we finally decided to see if they had vegan food. THEY DO. And they know what the means. No "well is cheese okay?" They actually told us they don't recommend a vegan quesadilla because they don't have vegan cheese so it would just be something without cheese. It's so nice when people know what vegan means and accommodate! We tried the vegan burrito and the vegan tacos and they were BOMB. So so so good. When I read "Indian-Mexican fusion" I knew it wouldn't disappoint. The flavors complement so well. We will definitely be back for more. They were also very nice. If you want to stay and eat, there's only one table but we took ours to-go, so there wasn't an issue for us. I guess it might be loud if you choose to eat at the table. But the food would totally make it worth it! read more

Killing it with the flavor. Glad I didn't settle for my usual cheap food and gave this a try. That mango drink has the same smoothness as a milk tea which made me love it. Wish there cup was bigger, as the ice was heavy. Tried the loaded chicken and devoured it. Also something to note that is they offer deals right there that is better than DoorDash offers. read more

Additionally, everyone there was very kind. Excellent service, excellent food, you can't beat that. read more

UHHHHH what are you waiting for?!?! Run and come try this place. We've heard about this place by Trader Joe's and finally stopped and tried it out. Joe made some great suggestions, I wanted the butter chicken burrito but he warned me it might be messy. I cut the burrito in half and it was fine not messy at all. The flavor of the burrito was so good that even if it was messy I would've tore it up with a fork! We also got the nan-chalupa and 1 was enough for one person also very flavorful per Joe it's their popular item. seriously go check and support this local business! Joe is awesome, super nice and made it a great experience!! We would definitely come back. read more
