Pav Bhaji Express

Pani Poori is kinda hard to come by so I'm thrilled to have Pav Bhaji move just a block away from my place -- it's such a treat to have authentic Indian flavors right in the neighborhood. The Pani Poori might not quite meet the expectations that were established for me by my last experience at Chatpatti Chaat but it's still fantastic. And Pav Bhaji is much closer. (Who wants to drive way up north for Chatpatti Chaat anyway?) The sweet "khatta meetha" tamarind puree and spicy "thikki" cilantro-mint broth blend perfectly to bring out the earthy flavors of the potatoes, making each bite a refreshingly delicious literal burst of flavor as the fluids seep out from the crispy puffed-fried sphere.The Shezwan Vada Pav was a fun experience, and I'm told by my South Asian boyfriend that it turned out very authentic to the nostalgic flavors that he recalls from his mother's home cooking. If you're craving something rich and savory, this deep-fried potato dumpling sandwich is a nice option. The Masala Chaas (a spiced yogurt drink) offered up a flavor profile I didn't expect -- a surprising degree of spice blended with the cooling contrast of the yogurt.The service here is exceptional, and the owner has transformed a humble gas station parking lot into a cozy little oasis. I'll be coming back often to explore more of the menu, and I definitely recommend checking it out if you're nearby.

I have heard a lot about this place with good reviews! And you know, I never believed in another person until I taste it myself!!We went for a weekend and trust me, I am fan of their few dishes now! All of their foods are veg, but veg can be this much yummy I had no idea!!I loved their special Amul Cheese Pav Bhaji, Thecha Vada Pav and Veg Biryani! Talking about Veg Biryani, I also used to laught at Veg Biryani, because that didn't even exist in my world until I tasted theirs!!And the crowd! Omg! After office, many people come to have some chitchat over their snacks!I was so surprised to see that many netizens were coming there!!! They have many exclusive fusion items, which I couldn't cover all at a moment! But, now I can peacefully say that I loveeeee this place!!! :)

My fav go-to spot for a quick Indian street food close to downtown. The location is amazing with ample parking space. The menu was welcoming , with different varieties of Pav Bhaji. I have got the Amul cheese pab bhaji and the special pav bhaji. I loved the Amul cheese better, it was soothing and great. I should say this is one of the best pav bhajis I have ever had in the US. Especially getting Indian food south of the river is really hard and this place stands out. The gravy was creamy and yummy and the bread is of top quality.I also got the vada pav and the potato's outer layer wasn't the best. It was a little crunchy and not moist so I would not get that again but the potato filling was amazing.The samosa chat was excellent and the samosa was really fresh and crunchy.

Ordered for pick up on Uber Eats. I was only ten minutes ago and my order was ready by the time I got there. Google Maps says there's a drive through so I was expecting a brick & mortar but it's a food truck in a parking lot. Parking is a bit cramped but it wasn't too difficult to find. They do have seating under a covered and decorated space next to the food truck which was nice. Food was really good and super crunchy even after the 30 min drive home. I loved that the puri was not oily. Mango lassi is not usually my favorite but I wanted to try it and it was also good!

After moving to Austin, I was excited to dive into the local food truck scene, and my first stop was Pav Bhaji Express near downtown. Given how popular food trucks are in Austin, I was eager to try this one.Overall, the experience was great. We sampled a variety of dishes including pav bhaji, Pani puri, and vada pav. The pav bhaji and Pani puri were particularly enjoyable, with vibrant flavors and satisfying portions. However, I was less impressed with the vada pav--it didn't quite meet my expectations.Despite that, Pav Bhaji Express is definitely worth a visit for its flavorful offerings. I look forward to exploring more food trucks around Austin!

This has become our go-to Indian food truck. One of the best Indian street food food-truck. The gentleman, whose name I can't recall, who takes orders is such friendly welcoming sweet person. Service is amazing. Food is amazing. Quantity of food amazing. Decently priced. Their now not-so-new anymore new location is much better given it has ample parking available. What more does one need. Must try: Any pav bhaji (my fav is amul cheese pav bhaji), dahi batata sev puri, avocado jhalmuri (because feels so healthy to eat and unique). And well actually I love everything on their menu. Have tried everything, except beverages, and enjoyed it all. They had recently started serving fresh watermelon juice with this heat wave and that felt so refreshing. Hope they add more seasonals to the menu.

Tried this place on weekend afternoon. Vada pav was ok, not too spicy and oily but not sure why it was served with sweet chutney. The concept of serving with bhujia, chutney and chopped onion was good. Dabeli was good but had too much sweet chutney, portion size was good. I went to their previous location, next to zilker park. If you go there in the afternoon (not sure about the new place) be ready to stand in sun or you can choose to sit inside car. Parking are limited as well. The menu on the food truck didn't have prices so you have ask for paper menu or check prices online. Overall good option for south Austin given that are not many Indian food trucks in that area. Maybe I'll give pav bhaji a try next time.

NEW food truck that brings Mumbai's most iconic Indian street foods to Austin.The star of the show was the Pav bhaji, one of the most popular Indian street foods. It is a blend of mashed veggies, a special mix of spices, and thick tomato gravy, eaten with pav (bread). It's spicy and savory. Topped with amul cheese which adds a rich creaminess to a classic dish. Other dishes I recommend are pani poori and vada pav, which are other common Indian street foods. This is sure to be a hearty meal with bold flavors, depth and fragrance in spices, and authentic Indian heat . The kadak masala chai is also a must if you enjoy aromatic tea.On the table :- amul cheese pav bhaji 11.99- pani poori 6.99- vada pav 4.99- veg dum biryani 11.99- samosa 4.99- kadak masala chai 3.99- mango lassi 4.99- masala chaas 4.99

We are so happy to finally have Indian food options in South Austin. This is an interesting location and hopefully they get a lot of foot traffic from Zilker and Barton Springs. They have also made good use of the limited space at the gas station, creating some outdoor seating options to enjoy your food fresh. Portion sizes are generous and filling. The gentleman taking the orders, possibly the owner, was considerably and genuine. We got a papdi chaat and a Pav Bhaji. The Bhaji was flavored very well and we recommend it. The chaat was okay but I'm also extra particular about my chaat so you should give it a try for yourself. They had just made fresh biryani and we were so tempted, if we weren't traveling tomorrow. I hope they continue to stay busy - as they were today - and do well. It's nice to see the new Indian businesses thriving and becoming more mainstream.

Food is pretty tasty and the service is superb. I seen it a few times and had to try it.
