The food is just amazing! Not just that but the ambience feels like you are transcended to India with the open seating area and the hardworking hostess serving you food with love, warmth and smiles. We had a bunch of things - bread pakora, parathas, chole poori, paneer and lassi. Everything was delicious and didn’t feel heavy or oily. Highly recommended for anyone looking to grab yummy food at extremely reasonable prices.

This place really caught me off guard! I had seen 500+ reviews and this place was maintaining above 4.6 stars which is pretty damn good in today’s food industry. I ordered a simple bread pakora and chai which costed me $7.58. The bread pakora tasted absolutely amazing, great ingredients, great taste, especially the freshness! Great attitude of the girl who served me, wish the chai was a little more hotter tho. Like I said tho over all amazing experience with the food and price was perfect! Next time will try other items!

I had an amazing experience at this Punjabi food truck. The food tastes completely authentic — just like homemade Punjabi rasoi. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and cooked with real desi spices. The service was quick, the staff was polite, and the truck was clean and well-organized. Highly recommend trying their parathas, butter chicken, One of the best Punjabi food spots around

They have open seating area as well.If you're craving a classic North Indian street food experience, this Punjabi food van hits the spot. We ordered chole puri, The chole were spicy, tangy, and loaded with flavor and it comes with 4 puris in one plate, Raita chutney and salad. must-try if you're into authentic Punjabi comfort food on the go.

I had the pleasure of visiting The Royal Taste of India food truck for the very first time, and it was truly an experience worth sharing. The first thing that struck me was their huge menu, offering a wide range of both vegetarian and non-vegetarian options. Since my family and I are vegan, I was curious to see how flexible they could be with customization. To my delight, they were incredibly accommodating—every dish was freshly cooked and adjusted to meet our dietary needs without compromising flavor. I ordered the Vegetarian Biryani and Soy Chops, and both dishes were absolutely delicious. The biryani was aromatic, well-spiced, and filled with vibrant flavors, while the soy chops had a perfect balance of texture and seasoning. You could taste the freshness in every bite, and it was clear that nothing came out of a freezer—everything was prepared on the spot with care. The service was amazing as well. The staff was friendly, attentive, and genuinely eager to ensure we had a good experience. It felt less like ordering from a food truck and more like being welcomed into a small family-run kitchen where customer satisfaction comes first. What also stood out to me was the atmosphere. This food truck isn’t just a quick stop for truck drivers (though it truly is a heaven for them with the hearty portions and variety), but it’s also a place where anyone—from families to students to casual passersby—can enjoy authentic, freshly prepared Indian food. Overall, The Royal Taste of India food truck exceeded my expectations. With their diverse menu, fresh cooking, customization for dietary preferences, and excellent service, I will definitely be going back to try more dishes. A hidden gem on wheels that brings the richness of Indian cuisine right to the street.
