Visited for family dinner pickup last night. Location is just west of Vintage on Loutta; a food truck located in a Chevron gas station parking lot. An all-vegetarian and vegan fare. Adjacent is a Mad Dog (hot dog and burgers; Elote Fries are to die for) food truck. Lovely couple Raj and his wife running the show at Tikka Munch. Food took at least 45 mins to get ready (Alert: Just the two of them working hard, be patient). Ordered Chole with Basmati Rice, Spicy Sczechuan Hakka Noodles, Pav Bhaji with extra Pav, Samosas, Garlic Naan, and a can of Thums Up. The meal set us back approx. $53, including taxes and tip. Portion sizes were middling - could have used more given the price point. We are very picky regarding food, as both wife and I cook a lot. Taste was decent but not authentic or spectacular; unfortunately the requested-spicy dishes were just raw heat (not cooked down) and unbalanced (balance between heat, tartness, saltiness, sweetness, and flavor, being the hallmark of good Indian cooking). A good initiative by a young couple - they are very friendly and welcoming. Our picky experience/tastes apart, others seem to adore the fare as noted via the 5-star Google reviews. Wish we could rate similarly; shall return however and try other dishes. Do support this young family - running a restaurant/food truck is extremely hard. They deserve...
Read moreThis is the best food truck in North Houston! Yes, I know there are a million food trucks in Houston, and new ones pop up every day. First, the owner and his wife take orders and make the food themselves, so their passion really shows in the dishes. We asked for suggestions, and they were very helpful.
First, we ordered the Szechwan Fried Rice. It was AMAZING; I kid you not, it felt like eating on the streets of Vadodara, India. You can get it mild or “spicy” with Thai chilies. Be sure to ask for the cream sauce on the side, as it takes the rice to the next level. A MUST ORDER!
We also ordered the Masala Fries, which were perfectly seasoned and paired nicely with our paneer taco and burger. The taco is served with slaw and is perfectly wrapped in naan. You can order it with paneer or tofu (a vegan option), and it's pretty big, so unless you have a large appetite, one is enough.
The burger features a thick slab of paneer and an out-of-this-world special house sauce; make it spicy if you dare! If you’re on Louetta or live in North Houston, don’t miss...
Read moreAfter seeing the high ratings on Google Maps, I decided to give Tikka Munch a try. On my first visit, I had the pleasure of meeting Raj and Shivani, who shared their story and the journey behind opening this restaurant. It’s always great to support a local businesses, and I’m thrilled to have found this spot so close to home!
You can truly taste the love they put into their food. So far, the standout dishes for us have been the biryani and the tikka masala—both absolutely delicious with so much flavor! In fact, the food was so good that I found myself coming back the very next night, even after already having dinner!
Please give them a try!
Thanks again...
