Shahi Chaat N Chai

I have been wanting to try this food truck in a while. Everytime I am on a walk I would pass by the truck and It'd be closed but today was the day.Ordered shahi chai and osmania biscuits. Both excellent. The owner was extremely sweet to offer us free paneer pakodas. It was so tasty that we ended up ordering shahi stuffed kulcha and amritsari kulche chole which she packed neatly for takeout.Honestly I liked everything. I will definitely be going back.

Nice place to get a live pani puri when the weather is nice. If you're fresh off the plane from Mumbai, be prepared for some sticker shock; it's a buck per puri!Sometimes we see people sitting in their hangout area, which they've improved a bit since they moved here from the old location.But what I like about it is that you can get in and out pretty quickly. So it's a great add-on to the rest of your Indian themed date night. Make a good impression on your first date if you know she's into pani puri! Tonight we stopped by on the way to Santana Row. I also like to get the chai.

This food truck used to be located on El camino real close to Apni Mandi Bazaar. I was initially excited to try them when I learned that they have now relocated to Santa Clara.I was really disappointed by the live pani puri here. Food: They have increased the price of a plate to 6.99 (which increases your minimum spend at the store for pani puris). Second, their five types of pani, which was pretty good are now barely tasty. Only the mint pani was eatable. Third, they skimp on the filling per puri - we literally got one peas and very little potato for one puri, which was barely sufficient. Their strategy is to fill you up less and make you buy more plates. Service: The live pani puri guy is confused and stressed. Can do better when interacting with customers.Ambiance :The food truck is parked next to a supermarket and there are two parking spots right next to it. Barely any space for a larger number of people to be there. Their earlier location next to Ketli Chai was much better.Overall they score poorly on all fronts and I'd not be coming here again.

Came to this place for a quick stop and got their dahi sev batata puri. The picture in ad shows 9 but we got just 6. The yogurt/dahi used was old and the green chutney was a ready made one from the store as clearly seen in the picture. There was little to no potato filling and we had to throw the food after one bite of the poori. The service took time and definitely felt exorbitant for 9.81$ Definitely avoid this place, save your tummy and try the other food trucks around. Hopefully they read and use fresh ingredients to make it and improve quality!

Our morning of errands in Sunnyvale led us to a delightful surprise early in the afternoon: Shahi Chat n Chai, a charming food truck offering live pani puri and a variety of chats. It was the perfect stop to refuel and indulge in some delicious street food. The pani puri was bursting with flavor, and the samosa chaat had just the right balance of tangy and spicy flavors. To top it off, we enjoyed a soothing cup of masala chai that warmed us up perfectly. The portions were spot-on, ensuring we left satisfied but not overly full. This unexpected stop at Shahi Chat n Chai turned out to be a highlight of our day, leaving us already planning our next visit!

Flavor Explosion: Shahi Chaat N chai Food TruckThe Indian Chaat food truck delivers a vibrant taste of India's street food culture, offering dishes like Pani Puri and Bhel Puri that are packed with bold, tangy, and spicy flavors. The Bhel Puri stands out with its mix of crunchy puffed rice, sev, and fresh veggies, all tossed in tamarind chutney. The Pani Puri is a burst of taste with every crisp, spicy bite. Fast, friendly service and the casual, outdoor setting make this food truck a must-visit for anyone craving a delicious, authentic chaat experience.

I remember going to the previous Sunnyvale location sometime back. Back then, the Pani Puri was decent and the service was good.I visited the place recently and had pani puri. I didn't like the taste at all!- Most of the flavors were pretty bad: The only decent flavor was Mint. Kaala Katta, Khatta Meeta, Pomegranate and Mango tasted pretty bland.- They literally add the smallest amount of filling possible. Like the smallest piece of Aloo/Onion/Channa inside the puri.- Pani was very cold: I'm not looking for perfect room temperature, but it was way too cold in my option.- The Puri was way too crispy for me. Kinda felt odd after a point.No onion/cilantro on the side either.Disappointing overall!

i've passed these food trucks along el camino in sunnyvale so many times and finally tried them out. shahi chaat n chai mainly has live pani puri, chaat, and some other plate meals.i got the dahi batata sev poori ($8.99). it tasted good but was overflowing with yogurt so a bit hard to eat and got a little soggy toward the end. it's a little expensive given the dish/ingredients/ambiance. there is limited seating in the parking lot. they take cash and card.

Pani puri prepared and served right at the food truck is the highlight of this place!

Best Pani puri in the bay area! Their paneer pakoras are really good too. Highly recommend
