When in Austin, Food trucks are a must try for me. Love their scene and outdoorsy vibes. There are several food truck options and ample seating around with tv screens and string lights setting the vibe. We ordered the chilli chicken momos, butter chicken momos and lasai. Food was really enjoyable, very tasty. I ordered ahead but still there was a bit of wait time, the owner was kind enough to acknowledge it without me even saying anything about it. He packed some gahar halwa and mentioned that he was not pleased I had to wait even though I ordered ahead. I mean this kind of customer service just stays with you and I am glad I tried this spot.

Diners overwhelmingly call out the signature dish as the must-order. The vibe reads as vegan restaurant — service is consistently described as warm and unhurried. Common gotcha: queues form at peak times — go early or late.

Cold weather calls for chai and momos. Unfortunately, they did not have chai but...they did have hot, freshly made momos. While it wasn't the very best chicken momo I've had, it was still good enough to be enjoyed on a night out. I wish the open, mood-lit space in front of the food truck had a couple of heaters to gather around and enjoy the steamed and chilli momos! If I'm passing by the area in the future, I will definitely consider another stop here. The owner was quite friendly and chill. Parking is available on the street that leads into the food truck area (more in the adjacent lot).

I was not expecting this to be in a food truck court. The vibe and atmosphere was great. Very clean tables. Now let’s talk about these dumplings for a moment. Never in my life have I tasted something so delicious. I had a feeling they would be delish. But they exceeded my expectations! I could crave these!! I got the butter masala dumplings. They have a nice variety of other as well. If you love dumplings. Run. Don’t walk!
