Madras Dhaba

The best thing about Austin is the abundance of food trucks; they usually cater audience with fantastic food sans the decor that is usually associated with a sit down restaurant. The prices, for the most part, are relatively cheap and the quantity is plentiful. Madras Dhaba delivers on all these aspects. Madras Dhaba, located on the 6th street, occupies a spot among many other food trucks in a rectangular parking structure-esque area. The menu is front and center and it’s quiet interesting. For starters, it has Indian Tacos, which I guess is very popular here. Unfortunately, we didn’t try those (I think this was a big miss from my side) instead, we opted for the tried and tested, chicken 65 and paneer tikka masala along with Paratha and Garlic naan. We got the food to-go, although they have tables there for you to enjoy the food right there. The paratha was a delight and the quantity was abundant. The paneer tikka masala though was on the sweeter side which was a bummer. Everything was piping hot and fresh and we enjoyed the food. They do food delivery via all the regular delivery services which is a plus for anyone who wants to enjoy food at their own comfort. MadrasDhaba is an Indian food truck with a variety of options to choose from. It has both Vegetarian and meat options along with the usual drinks and deserts that you’d find in a typical Indian establishment. The twist about this place is the availability of Indian styled Tacos which is popular among the folks. This place is worth a try if you’re in the area.

HUGE portions. I made 3 meals out of the chicken biryani, no joke. One of if not the best Indian food in Austin. I wish this wasn’t so far from my place but I’ll start making trips out for this now. Also the samosas are the best I’ve ever had. Just amazing...

The Indian tacos are especially delicious and have great texture and heat. Very friendly service and a great spot to just chill with friends and enjoy a different presentation of Indian street food.

I'm a regular at Madrasdhaba, the Indian food truck downtown, visiting around twice a week. The owner (still don't know his name!) is always super friendly, and we have some cool chats when I bike over. Now, let's get to the food – it's a flavor explosion every single time. Seriously, it feels like a fresh adventure in my mouth on each visit. Whether it's their biryanis, creamy curries, or my absolute favorite, the Chicken Tikka tacos, it's always a taste bud celebration. But wait, there's more - recently, I discovered their Nana Bread Tacos, and they're a game changer! Speaking of favorites, the Chicken Tikka tacos are where it's at for me. Juicy chicken, the perfect spice kick, all wrapped up in a tasty taco. And those Nana Bread Tacos? They're like a delicious twist that keeps me coming back for more. Their menu is diverse, so whether you're into meat or veggies, there's something to make you smile. And the portions won't leave you hungry, plus the prices are wallet-friendly. So, if you're in the mood for some top-notch Indian eats, those incredible Chicken Tikka tacos, or the mouthwatering Nana Bread Tacos, you gotta hit up Madrasdhaba. It's not just about the food; it's the laid-back vibes and the delicious bites that keep me hooked.

Tried the Channa Masala Tacos and it blew my mind how good it was. The flavor, spice level, and paratha was a great combination together.
