Shahi Chaat — Restaurant in Sunnyvale

Rating: ⭐ (0 stars)

I recently visited this food truck and ordered "Channa Poori". Unfortunately, my experience was extremely disappointing. The Channa Poori was drenched in oil, both inside and out. When I raised my concerns with the employees, I was told that it is deep-fried and, therefore, the oil is to be expected.

When I mentioned that the excessive oil was unhealthy and questioned why they didn't make it properly, the staff rudely responded that I didn't understand how deep-fried food is made. They insisted there was no other way to prepare it. Additionally, the employees did not have the courtesy to say they would look into it or try to improve.

Moreover, the poori had too much soda/lime and all-purpose flour, which is not how it should be made if following a traditional Indian recipe. If they are making a fusion version, they should either change the name or clearly mention it, instead of misleading customers about serving a famous Indian delicacy. I'm not a cook, but as a fan of Indian food and poori, I can surely say that this was not even close to the actual dish.

I couldn't consume the poori due to the excessive oil and lack of hygiene. I would not recommend this food truck to anyone looking for a decent meal. The quality of the food and the attitude of the employees were both...

We recently visited the Shahi Chat food truck, located in the parking lot with outdoor seating available. While my experience had its ups and downs, I would rate it an average of 3 stars.

The highlights of our visit were the bhel puri and paani puri, which were decent in taste. However, I must admit that they fell short of my expectations. The flavors were not as vibrant as I had hoped, and the overall quality of the food left something to be desired. If you are from Mumbai and has high high standards for street food like pani puri, this won’t dazzle you.

On a positive note, they offered complimentary Shahi chai. The chai was enjoyable and provided a comforting touch to our meal. Kudos to the team for this gesture of goodwill.

One aspect that disappointed me was the pricing. The prices at Shahi Chat food truck were quite high considering the quality of the food. I expected more value for the amount I paid, and unfortunately, it didn't quite match up.

As for the ambiance, the food truck's outdoor seating was a pleasant option. It offered a casual and relaxed setting to enjoy the meal. However, the overall experience was hindered by the average quality of the food....

I recently tried out this newly established startup and was quite intrigued by their menu, especially the inclusion of the Thali option. The variety and choices offered looked appealing. However, my experience took an unexpected turn when I ordered the Kadhi Chagall. To my surprise, the pakora was missing, which struck me as highly unusual.

Despite this disappointment, I must say that the overall quality of the food was commendable. The flavors were rich and satisfying, leaving a pleasant taste in my mouth. On the downside, I found the quantity of rice to be disappointingly low. It was noticeably inadequate, leaving me wanting for more.

One redeeming aspect of the dining experience was the complimentary desi chai they offered. It was a delightful addition, perfectly complementing the meal and leaving a positive impression. Overall, while there were a few hiccups in terms of missing elements and insufficient portion size, the food quality and the enjoyable cup of chai make this startup...
