My recent dining experience at Gr8 Indian Street Food Truck & Restaurant was one that can best be described as a mixed bag.
The special vada pav, seemed promising. As a Maharashtrian, my palate is well-acquainted with the authentic flavours. Instead of the subtle vada and pav that one might expect, the garnishing of North Indian-style was overbearing. As this was my maiden experience at Gr8 Indian Street Food, I can appreciate their unique take on the vada pav, but regrettably, it was not to my liking.
My heart sank further when I saw pav bhaji on the menu, a dish that's close to my heart, but I decided to give it a miss. Thankfully, the lassi we ordered was truly a delight and far removed from the overly sweetened mango lassis found elsewhere. The freshness of the food was there in every bite, a notable departure from some of the other Indian fast food eateries in Brisbane.
My expectations from Gr8 Indian Street Food, given its name, were of a wider variety of Indian street food from various states. However, my first visit did not entirely live up to these expectations.
I hope this review is taken in the spirit it is intended. I believe in constructive criticism and my intention is to provide feedback that can help the establishment improve. To conclude, although I may not revisit Gr8 Indian Street Food for its Maharashtrian cuisine, I would consider returning to sample other...

Read moreSince they have shifted to the shop, it’s not the same anymore. We were disappointed. This is on the basis of few visits to their shop. We have tasted saag from truck… it was incomparable but didn’t taste same anymore. Other dishes we have compared and tried are paav bhaji, malai chap, nutri kulcha, hotdog, masala chap.
Only Masala chap was little edible. Rest all were way below average. Paav bhaji had colour in it, never seen before and the taste wasn’t the same. Malai chap had stale cream and tasted bad. Nutri had too much salt in it. Hotdog was served cold. I am sure these people still make bhaturas and kulchas in advance, probably same as they used to do in truck…in their kitchen elsewhere and not in shop as they weren’t fresh and were served as rolled in foil. They have gone from five star to one star. We were skeptical this would happen if they shift to shop…and sadly it happened. They were sooo good until they...
