Wow, how can Indian food from a food truck possibly be *this* good? I swear, it's some of the best spiced Indian food I've ever had! The chilies, cumin, etc even included a side of pickle and...butter? We ordered the curry chicken, palak paneer, raita and an aloo paratha. The host included delicious chai tea. We ate our meal in the yellow school bus adjacent to the food truck, watching the sunset over the I5 hills. Real Taste of India is a total GEM and worth the discovery.

We were staying at the best Western next to the real taste of India food truck. We had a delicious dinner and a wonderful conversation with the food truck chefs! Highly recommended :) Everything was delicious and very authentic. And enough to last for two meals!

Hands down - THE BEST NORTH INDIAN DHABA STYLE FOOD IN ENTIRE CALIFORNIA. Blown away by the taste and portions at this little food truck. Tried the bread pakoda (it’s this Indian yummy snack - 2 slice of bread usually filled with potato and spices stuffing dipped in chickpea batter and deep fried)— and I had a full Ratatouille moment. You know the scene where the critic Ego takes a bite, drops his pen, and is transported back to a happy childhood memory? Yeah. That exact moment. If you haven’t seen the movie, don’t worry. The long and winding point is: it was DARN tasty. Chicken tikka wrap — another absolute banger. Juicy, flavorful, and filling enough to properly satisfy your hunger. And the owner — such a warm, cheerful gentleman. He even made a customized no-spice aloo paratha for

Just like the name, the food is truly authentic and free of excessive mirch-masala—just like home-cooked Indian food. The roti was incredibly soft, just like what you’d get in a Punjabi household. The prices are very reasonable: roti is just $1, and the paratha was huge for $6, served with plenty of raita and achar and chai (12 oz) for $3. We also ordered (16 oz) palak paneer and (16 oz) bhindi for $15 each, and both tasted amazing. Paneer was soft and fresh, and the gravy without heavy or overpowering masalas. Bhindi reminded me of my home. We didn’t have to wait long for the food—it took about 10–15 minutes. The owners were extremely kind and polite, which made the experience even better. If you’re craving authentic Indian food, this is a must-visit. It’s currently a food truck, and
