I was not in the mood for a drive or Indian food but friends forced me to join them, so I tagged along reluctantly. The location was calm and most businesses around were closed. Parking was easy to find across the street. The place is well laid out with picnic tables and string light with some Bollywood videos playing on the screen . The food truck itself was very clean. We ordered almost everything on the menu as we were a large group. The service was very courteous from placing the order to picking up the food. Due to the large crowd they did say a few rice and noodle orders would take time (setting expectations right).
My first was the Chitti ghee podi Idly (mini steamed rice and lentil cakes in clarified butter and lentil spice powder mix) with fresh peanut and ginger chutneys. I requested sambar on the side which was happily served. This entree is the star of the Food Junction show. It is as good and better than eating in South India. Everything had a perfect balance and the Idly had the right fluff and bite to them. The spice powder was spot on with flavor and everything in it was balanced. It was so good that I had a repeat of it.
I tried the Masala dosa, Poori, Punugulu, Noodles and fried rice from other orders. The dosa, poori and punugulu were very good. Noodles and fried rice were okay but had room for improvement to to get the street style flavor pop. Which costed a star for food.
Overall this place is excellent for south Indian breakfast / tiffin items. The chutneys and food was super fresh and I could feel the care taken to prepare it (a huge rarity in restaurant world). Though I went reluctantly, I was super happy to have dined at Food Junction. It’s a gem in Denton. If you are in the area don’t miss it, better yet, it’s worth the drive if you are craving a great south Indian tiffin / breakfast.

Read moreThis is our daily hangout place. I just get the feels of my favourite hangout spot in India. We hardly eat at this place. We go there to talk all the news across the globe while enjoying their tea, biscuits and malai bun. Occasionally we eat at food junction. From around 4 months, I have tried their Chicken fried rice, Chicken noodles, Ghee karam idli, all varieties of dosas, Chicken frankie, Chicken sandwich, Punugulu, Egg bajji mixture, Stuffed mirchi bajji, Puri & Parotta with Chicken curry and other stuff which I can't remember. Out of these Tea, Chicken frankie, Egg bajji mixture, Chicken sandwich are my favourites and we tried them many a times. The hospitality here feels personal, warm, and familiar - like a piece of home served on a paper plate in the heart of Denton.
A tip to the owner: I saw many locals come here and leave by looking at the menu. I just feel they are confused in selecting a super good food as it is quite new to them. You can write it on a special board advising the locals to try authentic Indian foods(ex: Masala Dosa, Ghee karam Idly, Biryani, Poori with chicken curry). Hope this will be of some use.

The menu offers a blend of authentic South Indian food with Indo Chinese favorites. My personal favorites were their chicken sandwich (repeat order) along with Maggie noodles, punugulu and chicken fried rice took me back to late night DLF hangouts with my friends. Oh, can’t forget their malai bun to end on a sweet note. Overall, the food was flavorful and generously packed with ingredients and authentic Indian spices.
The service was real good too. They do a great job to make sure you enjoy the food and time here. This place is worth every visit whether you are planning for a family gathering or a fun hangout...
