Stumbling upon this Hyderabadi food truck felt like discovering a hidden treasure. Parked unassumingly on the side of the road, it delivers an authentic and unforgettable taste of Hyderabad with every item on its menu.
Let’s start with the Chicken Shawarma – a perfect Indo-Middle Eastern fusion. Juicy, well-marinated chicken wrapped in soft pita bread, layered with tangy sauces and just the right amount of spice. It’s messy in the best way possible, and incredibly satisfying.
Then comes the Mutton Biryani – an absolute showstopper. Fragrant, saffron-tinted rice, tender slow-cooked mutton, and bold Hyderabadi spices create a rich, soulful dish that tastes homemade but better. Served with cooling raita and spicy salan, it’s everything a biryani lover dreams of.
Now, for the street food lover: the Basket Kathori Chaat is a flavor explosion. Crispy edible bowls filled with chutneys, crunchy sev, and fresh veggies—it’s tangy, spicy, and refreshing all at once.
Craving something sweet or relaxing? Their Irani Chai is smooth and deeply brewed, with a slight sweetness and a strong cardamom aroma. Pair it with freshly baked Osmania Biscuits, and you’re instantly transported to a charming Hyderabadi café. For a richer treat, the Malai Dry Fruit is a creamy, indulgent dessert loaded with nuts, perfect for ending the meal.
The staff is warm, the service is quick, and prices are friendly. Despite being a food truck, the quality and authenticity rival any brick-and-mortar Hyderabadi restaurant.

I tried the Irani chai, ☕️ Hyderabadi shawarma, 🥙 and Zafrani Dum Biryani 🍚each dish was full of flavor and beautifully presented. The biryani stood out in particular, with rich spices and tender meat 🥩 that truly hit the mark. The Talawa Gosht was also memorable, adding a bold, savory depth to the meal.
The food truck had a lively and welcoming atmosphere, and the area was well-maintained and clean. The staff were friendly and attentive, making the experience even more enjoyable. Best of all, the pricing was very reasonable, especially considering the generous portions and quality of the food.

Read moreI just tried this brand-new Hyderabadi food truck at Bay Area Chowpatti on Washington Blvd, and I’m seriously impressed! For their very first day, everything was on point. I had the Samoli, and it was packed with flavor. The kebab was smoky, juicy, and perfectly spiced, wrapped in a soft roll with that signature Hyderabadi tang.
The real highlight was the Biryani, which was full of rich aroma and beautifully layered. The meat was tender and juicy, giving that authentic dum taste you’d expect from a proper Hyderabadi kitchen, all from a food truck!
The staff were warm and welcoming, the service was smooth, and the lively atmosphere made the experience even better. So glad they’ve moved to this great spot in the Bay Area, can’t wait to come back...
