Caught a food truck in the South Bay. The food was good, but seemed Americanized. We had Chicken Tikka Masala and fries. The sauce was sweeter than I ever had it. The fries were pretty good and tasted good dipped in the Tikka sauce - so BK take that as a fry upgrade suggestion. Naan was ok but I feel I've had better. If you need to eat, this is a bit pricey but good. If you're expecting a mobile trip to India, you will be unfulfilled. read more

I'm a big fan of Indian food and was thrilled to see a truck offering one of my favorite types of cuisine. What makes The Bollywood Kitchen unique is they offer both Chinese and Indian food. I have Chinese food way more often than Indian and so Indian was my choice for the day. I chose to get a combo and got their Chicken Tikka Masala and Saag Paneer. This combo was $10 and came with two large pieces of naan. As with other Indian spots, you get to choose your own spice level. I chose medium since I was told it wasn't too spicy and that the chef could adjust. I'm glad if he did adjust because my saag paneer definitely had a kick to it. Saag paneer is usually my favorite Indian dish but I have to say the Chicken Tikka Masala this time was my favorite. It had good flavor and the chicken was tender. The sauce was perfect as well over the basmati rice. I'm glad I was able to try and experience this truck! read more

The Bollywood Kitchen - Chicken Tikka Masala and Saag paneer - Indian Near Me

$15 for cold chicken curry. There wasn't even a line waiting. Do not recommend. Owner looks as though he could care less.

Went to see "Dirty Dancing" with the fam on the big outdoor screen at Santa Monica Airport. The Bollywood Kitchen food truck was our only dining option. Which turned out to be a total score. My wife and I got Indian food, which was sensational. The woman who took my order strongly recommended the veggie samosas. I was like, "yeah, I don't know," and she was like "trust me, try them, they are made from scratch." So I did and dammmnnn, they were good. Pretty much the best samosas I ever had. My daughters got chicken strips and fries, Cuz they're kind of basic. Purely in the interest of science and integrity in Yelp reviewing I had to try out a little each. Again, dammmnnn.... Bottom line, we had the time of our lives...Thanks, Bollywood Kitchen! read more

Bollywood is an Indian -Chinese fusion food truck. I happen to run across them right across from the urban lights at LACMA where tons of different food trucks cycle in at during lunch hours. They offer tons of different combos for both Chinese and Indian. I decided to try the biryani with lamb which I found to be quite delightful. Plenty of well seasoned moist and tender lamb paired with seasons basmati rice. Not salty at all, just very aromatic and authentic tasting. I also ordered some chicken korma which tasted like an Indian style tomato soup. Chicken was tender and blended perfectly with the korma sauce. The masala was probably the highlight of the everything, OUTSTANDING. So much flavor and just went perfect with the white basmati rice read more

This Indian and Pakistani food truck has an unintelligible menu---it's a jumble of small-print words, partially obscured with a cross-hatch screen, along with random photos and a total lack of descriptions. The vegan combo ($8) was a hasty 8.5 x 11 print-out on the side of the truck, but the combo isn't actually vegan, because they serve you naan (which is traditionally made with yogurt kneaded into the dough). It wasn't clear to me that the owner knows naan is not vegan. That said, once I informed the owner that I don't eat naan, she gave me more side salad, but otherwise doesn't have a vegan bread like chapati, roti or poori. The daal was too salty and the vegetable curry overcooked. Also, they annoyingly dumped red and green chutney onto the dish without asking me if I wanted that. This made the dishes unbelievably spicy and hard to eat. They don't have brown rice, which is a shame. The vada pav ($5) wasn't bad, though; this is a potato dumpling in a hamburger bun. It's the quintessential street food of Mumbai and Pune. They do a pretty good job with it here. Once again, get it without the chutneys, unless you want a spicy mess. Expect a long wait for your food. Also, if you try to look at the menu, the woman running the truck will start talking to you. She's a good salesperson, but sometimes you just want to be left alone. I wish this truck were better, because I'm sick of the other ones in my area. read more

Those in the know order the samosa chaat. Delicious, filling, just a tiny kick. I like to order spicy. I find thief truck that the Los Feliz Flea Market at Marshall HS on Saturdays. The rest of their meals are fine, inoffensive staples of Indian restaurant food in America, plus a few stir-fried Chinese-style dishes as well. Get the samosa chaat for something that showcases their flavors better than their other dishes. Vegetarian. read more

Wow, this Fried Chicken sandwich.... Crispy batter/breading, moist/tender white meat (i usually go for dark meat with chicken but this white meat was not dry at all), some sort of magical orange sauce, and some light Indian/Asian-ish seasoning. Just a hint of spiciness and the experience is complete. Just an FYI, this is not a neatly eaten meal. You're gonna get a little dirty/saucy, but they wrap it up well in the paper foil thing so you can stay relatively clean if you're a neat eater. Will order again for sure! read more

The Bollywood Kitchen - Fried Chicken Sandwich. Amazing! - Indian Near Me

While the Bollywood Kitchen was ok, there were two issues. First, because we did not order in advance, the wait for the food was over an hour. They could have said there was going to be a long wait and either text when ready or given an estimated time to return. However, more distressing, I witnessed a man not wearing a mask enter the truck and go into the food preparation area. When I asked them to put on a mask, he immediately did so and chef apologized. However, coronavirus does not recognize sorry. read more

Easy 5 stars. Superb service and food. The owners were so kind and generous. I got the entree combo which comes with 2 entrees but they are half sized . So the option to try multiple things is offered here and affordably ! I picked the chicken tikka masala and chicken korma . This was so good the korma had a good amount of tomato flavor but it was over powering 8/10. The chicken masala was some of the best I've had comparable to cardamoms 10/10. I also got the lamb biryani which surprised me quite a bit. The rice had a slight lime flavor with a little hint of salt but just the right amount so it felt quite healthy. The lamb pieces were tender and super tasty 9/10. The mango lassi tasted like they blended a fresh mango and added a little yogurt super delicious 10/10! read more

It's rare to find Indian / chinese fusion in Los Angeles. This truck delivers that perfect combination. Food has a nice flavor and the price is fair. The service is very prompt and friendly. The chicken chow mein combo has a nice flavor. The chicken crispy sandwich was very crispy and has a nice kick to it. read more

Oh man, I literally just finished my food and this place is FANTASTIC. I'm Indian/Pakistani and I know good desi food and this is...it. I had the lamb korma (chefs suggestion) and my wife had the samosa chaat. The flavors were both excellent, but the lamb is truly on another level. Thank god it's a good truck or I'd be here every day. read more

Been waiting nearly an hour at the food truck... people who ordered after me getting their food first. Can't even tell you if the food is good or not. Update: Waited 70 minutes for food. Ordered Chicken Tikka Masala. It was burned and left a bad taste. I know they were behind and struggling, but I won't be ordering from them again. Everyone has bad days, but first impressions etc. read more

Their food truck was here tonight and we wanted to give it a try. Very disappointed. The curry was very blahhh and it was mainly rice with some meat on top. The nan was very weak. Pity - such potential read more

I ordered the Chinese combo with veggie chow mein and fried rice with a spring roll and my goodness was this thing SALTY! I mean like SUPER SALTY! Can't even try to enjoy this. Smh. Shame on me for ordering this but Chinese food shouldn't even be on this menu! They should simplify things on this truck and just stick to Indian food. Although I did hear some complaints about that as well. read more

Awesome food. Loved the butter chicken and soup. Menu has a nice selection and the owners will customize the dish for you. The noodles were also pretty good. Great Indo-Chinese food is not scantily available here and the US and this was a good treat. Only issue is that they are all around LA county during the week and it's difficult to get a hold of them when you want it read more

This was soooooooo good! Firstly, the woman taking your order was super nice, friendly and helpful - not just taking your order as quick as possible. Sure, this made for a longer wait but honestly, worth it since she gave great information and advice about the food! I got the lamb biryani and oh my god it is so delicious, and comes with enough food for two! I can absolutely tell this was made fresh for me. Again, this adds to a longer wait time, but this isn't "fast food" and is absolutely worth the wait! read more

I accidentally came across the truck because it was parked close to my work. Ordered the chicken biryani, and their version did not disappoint! The chicken was very tender and fell apart with a fork. Rice was fluffy, aromatic, and seasoned perfectly. It's also a very generous portion for $12. When I saw how much you get the cost is certainly worth it. I've had biryani in India, so I have my own sense of what it should taste like. And this is a very good version. It definitely satisfied my craving and I have leftovers to eat later on which is a plus! read more

The fried chicken burger was sooooo goood I devoured it in 5 mins! The chicken tikka masala was delicious as well and the garlic naan was cooked perfectly! It's a huge plus they serve Halal meat as well. 5 stars!! read more

I hadn't had Indian food for such a long time and I was so happy when the Bollywood food truck came to Playa Pacifica. I wasn't sure what to order and asked the lady that was working on the truck for suggestions. She was really nice and recommended the veggie korma. I never had anything korma so I thought I would try it. Honestly, I wish I would have ordered another one for the next day because it was so incredibly delicious. Thanks so much, and please come back to Playa Del Rey! read more

This spot serves pretty good mutton naan but the chicken pakora was extremely dry. It seems as if they took left over tandoori chicken and deep fried it. This caused it to be so dry it was almost inedible. Plus you only got 4 average pieces for eight bucks read more

Great service and quality food at a decent price. Definitely will keep an eye out next time their in my neighborhood. Also, I must commend the staff the way they were able to handle a large queue of people while a unruly person (not a customer) was telling them to move their truck because this person illegally parked then couldn't get out. read more

The Bollywood Kitchen is notably one of the best new food trucks that recently emerged in the food truck scene. Staffs are extremely warm and inviting. Their food is cooked to perfection. You can actually taste the love that goes into the food. I will review some of their dishes I've tried: Crispy chicken sandwich - Pieces of juicy tender, lightly fried strips of chicken with a killer dressing. I don't know how they do it but it is perfect every time. Tikki Masala anything - A classic Indian dish, and the truck will not be authentic without it. The spices are just right, but do ask for sauces like chatni or tamarid for an extra spicy oomph. Biryani - Fried rice with flavor. An easy filling rice dish, not greasy. Awesomeness in a bowl. Samosa - Stuffed, tasty with the right about of kick. Chicken chow mein - I will preface this with, I am Chinese, and grew up eating chow mein. My expectations were pretty high when it comes to this dish. Bollywood Kitchen nailed it! Perfect chicken to noodles ratio, not greasy. Simply the best tasting and quite possibly the healthiest chow mein. Mango Lassi - made with real mango and your meal is not complete without it. When in doubt, order a combo, you just can't go wrong. dhanyavaad read more

This is first time I try this food truck and I got the tikka masala chicken and it was really good!

We have food trucks that come to our office on some Wednesday's. Almost all have been overpriced and underwhelming. Today we had the great pleasure of The Bollywood Kitchen Truck. Their food is reasonably priced especially for the portion size and it is Delicious! I ordered the Samosa Chat and it was the best Indian Food I've ever tasted. I should've posted a pic but I ate it all before I even thought about taking a picture. My coworker had a Chicken rice bowl with a coconut curry. The owner was so kind and she made me a sample of the bowl. The chicken was exceptionally tender and the flavor was off the charts. I would highly recommend this truck to anyone looking for outstanding Indian food. Please come back to our office soon! I can't wait to try everything on the menu. read more

I wish i could give them zero star. They said we can look up for them to find them on their website. They mentioned to be here in Pasadena without mentioning they are having an event. We drove 30 minutes to be here and stood in line for 10 minutes and then they said they couldn't take our order and we can come back later as they were supposedly busy...very worst customer service...don't go there read more

We came across this truck inside Huntington Library & Gardens, and wanted a snack. We ordered the Veggie Samosa Chaat and honestly weren't expecting much. It was really, really, really good! The spice level was perfect: Spicy enough to feel it, but not too much to make it unpleasant to eat. The garbanzo beans were tender and the sauce was the perfect amount. The flavor was on-par with any Indian food we've had Staff was great and we walked away quite happy. read more

Yall trippin with these bad reviews. Unless I'm on the wrong page. But this is legit some of the best curry I've ever had. I never really write reviews on here but this place deserves it. PEOPLE don't sleep on this place. Go order that combo plate with Tikka masala and chicken kordon, extra Naan and an order of samosas! (sorry for any misspelling). Portion sizes are great for the price. Id have pics but I've already ate everything. Lol! Super greatful I ran into this gold mine of a place! If I have to wait ill wait. The food is worth it! read more

Had the samosa chat. Loved it. It tastes like an indo-American fusion dish with the cheese sauce added to the decision samosa and Chana.

Really wanted to like this place since I love how indian cuisine does all their meats. Spiced, and yummy. Unfortunately, I found their food to be too salty. Less dependent on spice, more on salt and some MSG I think. I also found their portions of protein very small and not satisfying. Sorry BK, want to like you, but I literally could not finish the food I bought after a few bites. read more

We had the the Bollywood Kitchen food truck at one of our events and students loved it! They arrived on time, had fast service, and were very friendly towards all the students. Students were able to choose between the chicken tikka masala, the chana masala and the chicken curry. All three were a hit with the students and overall was great food. Highly recommend them if you are looking to hire a delicious food truck for any big event you may have! read more

Took 45 minutes to get the food, and they forgot one item in the order that we had to go back for. Chicken Tikka Masala tasted like tomato sauce, only plus was that there was plenty of chicken and they weren't stingy with the amount of chicken. read more

Really a nice experience. I just got back from Australia where they have a lot, and I mean a lot of Indian cuisine restaurants. I probably had Indian food 6-7 Times in a 2 week period and none of them compared to this place I'm not one to write reviews but I felt I had to with this place. My friend and I shared a no spice butter chicken, saffron rice and 2 naan breads, one cheese and the other garlic. The food was done perfectly. That's all I can say. Good ingredients for sure. Restaurant staff was helpful and the place was really clean, which isn't normal for a place on Hollywood Blvd. I live up the street and will definitely be back for more! read more

The reviews are true. The food is delicious and the lady working the register is a sweetheart. I got the lamb naan wrap. It had huge chunks of tender curried lamb wrapped in grilled yet pillowy naan bread. The nice lady even threw in some free french fries because I had to wait slightly longer for my order. I really was fine with it but she insisted on giving me a freebie. Such a sweet lady. Even without the free fries (which were solid), I would've been perfectly satisfied by the delicious and filling naan wrap. Thumbs up read more
