Madras Dhaba

I recently visited Madras Daba, a food truck I initially thought specialized in South Indian cuisine. However, the menu was more generalized Indian fare. When we asked the owner, he explained that they had previously offered South Indian dishes but switched to a more standard menu due to lower demand.Despite this, the food was enjoyable. I tried the chana masala and vegetable biryani, both of which were well-prepared and tasty. The service was friendly and accommodating.

My friend has been consistently raving about the paneer tacos here, so when I went to visit we had no choice but to try them out. The good news? They were great-- A+ tacos all the way.Our second choice of taco, however, was a bit iffier. In the spirit of trying new things, we chose to also get the samosa tacos, thinking that if they were even half as good as the paneer tacos they'd be well worth it. Well folks, I fear they were not even half as good as the paneer tacos. They were quite literally just samosas wrapped in naan bread with like 1-2 other things and not nearly enough sauce. the samosas themselves were good, but they didn't feel at all cohesive with the taco. I admire the creative effort, but maybe try to perfect it before releasing it to the public. 5 stars for the innovative menu and the paneer tacos, -1 for the poorly executed samosa taco.

The Paneer tikka taco is absolutely delicious. My new go to no question about it. Generous portion of paneer and sauce. If you have not tried it, you're missing out

Not sure how to feel about this place. I got the chicken biryani, the chicken vindaloo, saag panner and garlic naan. The biryani was kind of blah. Just maybe not enough spices. The vindaloo was ok. It was spicy as I ordered it though. The panner was good but very non-spicy. I don't feel it's authentic Indian food. However, the people making it are Indian for sure. One HUGE disappointment was the naan. It is straight from Trader Joe's. Literally. A restaurant (spot) offering a product directly from a grocery store, should just not offer the option at all.

I don't know how I've gone this long without writing a review for Madras Dhaba especially when you consider how much I love this place! Nestled in a food truck park on East 6th street, it is difficult to find parking and the hours can be weird on some days but my god, its so worth it! I always get the tikka paneer tacos and they hit the spot EVERY single time! It's usually pretty quick and they are open late at night. On top of that, their tacos SLAP and are super filling (you get two).

I will dream about these chicken tikka tacos for a long time! One of the best things I've ever eaten! These tacos can be found in a super cute food truck area in Austin! We came for dinner pretty late, so we received our food fairly quickly! We loved the food truck area and being able to eat in the middle of the action - I can't wait to have these the next time I'm in Austin!

It's been a few years since we've had a chance to come back and try madras dhaba! They've managed to keep the flavor consistent over the course of the few years the trucks been around. I tried their paneer tikka tacos and they were not bad. I wish the tacos were a bit more spicy that would definitely elevate the flavors to a new level. Service is fast and they are open sure late! If you are in the area & are craving tacos with a "Desi" twist.. give this truck a shot! The food truck park also has other options .. so a great spot to come with a crowd! There are options for everyone to enjoy!

Had the tikka paneer tacos tonight and they was so amazing. 2 enormous tacos oozing with exotic Indian flavor that filled me right up for about 12 dollars with the tip. That's a deal right there . Oh and it was ready in less than 5 minutes so that's an extra bonus to the deal as well. I really want to come back here one day, but it's not guaranteed tho as I cannot stand the parking downtown, but I will definitely never forget the tacos I had here.

One of the best Indian food trucks I have been to.The food here is incredible, so flavorful and not a bad price.I got the Channa Masala tacos. The channa masala was so flavorful, tons of depth to the dish. The taco part was Paratha which was super soft and moist and flaky. Such a great dish. I love the fusion.

I asked for a couple of food items and had to make sure the food was fresh and healthy before I place the order since there were no other customers at all. Upfront he told me his food is not fresh. And kept arguing about it. Why would anyone pay for the food just to first try and then knowing it was not fresh enough. What a customer oriented attitude
