I visited on opening day on Valentine’s Day because of course a bengali loves nothing more than his comfort foods.
We ordered the following: fuchka (pani puri), goat kacchi biryani, beef haleem & mango lassi.
The fuchka was enjoyable, but I felt the tamarind water could have been runnier and slightly sweeter to balance the flavors better.
The beef haleem was excellent. It was rich, hearty, and well-spiced. I believe it comes with garnishes but they must have forgotten to put in the bag. Still, the flavor stood strong on its own and it was my favorite item this time around.
Now for the Goat Kacchi Biryani! This was the dish I was most excited for. So, did it deliver? Drum roll … Yes and no. Individually, each component was excellent. The goat was tender and perfectly cooked, the potatoes were just right (neither too hard nor too soft), and the rice was light, fluffy, and not mushy. However, it lacked that distinct “beyer bari” (wedding-style) flavor that I was hoping for. While it didn’t quite hit the flavors I was craving, it was still a very solid dish. Also, I wasn’t sure if the cashews were necessary but the serrano peppers definitely was not needed, the flavor profile does not go with it. Kacha morich (Thai chilies) would have been a better choice.
The mango lassi was good. As usual I only got a sip before the kid claimed the rest!
Nitpicking aside, I’m genuinely happy to have a Bangladeshi food cart in Austin. This is something that is way way way overdue! I’ll definitely be back in a few weeks once they’ve had time to refine things. Looking forward to seeing how they evolve!
Per the menu they do catering, and all...
Read moreI think this is the only Bangladeshi food truck in Austin in my time here. For a fuchka lover like me this place is a dream! Austin has lot o of desi food trucks / restaurants selling pani puri but not Fuchka. Fuchka is similar toh pani puri, a Bangladeshi delicacy! I loved it. note: the “tetuler tok” aka the tamarind chutney: juice with the fuchka may be a bit a tangy for some ( my husband said it is bit tangy for him) but I like it tangy tbh! We got cha and shingara as well. The shingara felt like it was homemade, not those store bought frozen shingara. We also had beef Bihari kabab with porotha and goat tehari! Both were really good! I liked goat tehari most! Not too oily, the rice was flavorful, decent amount of goat. We wish we went a little earlier,they ran out of piyaju and haleem! Will try those later. Also we wanted to try their Kachi Biryani but it’s available on Friday- check out their menu for the kachi, murog polau etc as they are available on certain days of the week. Will go back to try these as well. I hope this food truck stays for good, since in the past few years we have seen many food trucks shutdown in Austin due to increasing rent and...
