All of the food on the menu looked really great and there was a lot to choose from. There were salads, a gourmet Burger that I was interested in, as well as pizzas, sandwiches and giros. I'll be back to try all of these and I'll explain why- I ended up getting a giro based on a recommendation from a random stranger who was also in line and even though I wasn't in the mood for a giro, I ordered it. There was slight pressure from the lady the register as well as the gentleman who gave me the recommendation so I blurted out my order and crossed my fingers. No need for that in hindsight. this giro was possibly the best one I've had in Seattle. Maybe not necessarily the best pita bread I've had on a giro before but definitely the best beef/lamb that I've been served on a giro before. Succulent, moist, flavorful. It looked awesome. I was amazed by its dark vivid Brown hue, it just looked fresh, unlike the greyish shavings from an aging spit I might have expected from some random food truck. The French fries were super good. Produce fresh and bright. I'm actually so impressed that I'll be chasing the dragon once a week by trying a different menu item to compare and see which one is my favorite. The nice couple running the place was friendly and helpful and I can't help but be just a little bummed that this spots going to blow up and have...
Read moreNirvana Food Truck offers a great good experience. They serve Mediterranean Food in ample portions and even non-Mediterranean dishes have their special Nirvana take on them. First, this is by itself in Ballard on 5401 17th Ave NW. They have recently added enclosed outdoor seating, but we often pick up and take it home.
My favorites - PBJ/Pepperoni Pizza - I like the PBJ Pizza which is something like a Hawaiian with a kick of jalapenos. We make this a 50/50 with pepperoni on the other half but they work so magic with the pepperoni and it has a sweetness that we can't quite identify but that makes this unique and delicious. We always add Caesar salads which have finely ground cheese that looks like snow on top of the plentiful romaine lettuce. Yummy.
For the Mediterranean dishes all are excellent we love the gyros and the Chicken Kebab plate is heaven on earth.
Deliciousness aside, the brothers that run this truck are simply the nicest restaurateurs ever. Unflappably cheerful and they know their regulars who always stop in at least once a week to show our support and to encourage them in this sometimes dark time we live in.
Stop by. Support. Buy a plate or several. Eat in or out. Celebrate. Savor. And, most of all, show the owners the same kindness and good spiritedness they extend to every...
Read moreWorked years and years in pizza. Cooked and eaten an unreasonable amount of it.
Was offered a free pie by the kind folk running this place while we were working up the street.
Didn’t get to eat it til just now after microwaving it.
And folks I made a face when I took the first bite. These guys so know what they’re doing and I’m so excited to get a hot bite next time.
Crust - A+ No grain put on the peel to help launch their pizza, high end technique. Perfect Neapolitan style oven job. Chewy and charred.
Toppings - A+ I am not mincing words when I say that I wasn’t expecting much when I saw the toppings. Cured meat with red peppers on a white sauce. Ingredients looked good, just not a big cured meats fan.
100% aces
Getting the ratios just right is the mark the a true pro and they got them just right.
I have never put this much effort into a review before and again, I just microwaved their pizza probably 10 hours after they made it.
I’m trying to lose...
