I visited on opening day on Valentine’s Day because of course a bengali loves nothing more than his comfort foods.
We ordered the following: fuchka (pani puri), goat kacchi biryani, beef haleem & mango lassi.
The fuchka was enjoyable, but I felt the tamarind water could have been runnier and slightly sweeter to balance the flavors better.
The beef haleem was excellent. It was rich, hearty, and well-spiced. I believe it comes with garnishes but they must have forgotten to put in the bag. Still, the flavor stood strong on its own and it was my favorite item this time around.
Now for the Goat Kacchi Biryani! This was the dish I was most excited for. So, did it deliver? *Drum roll* … Yes and no. Individually, each component was excellent. The goat was tender and perfectly cooked, the potatoes were just right (neither too hard nor too soft), and the rice was light, fluffy, and not mushy. However, it lacked that distinct “beyer bari” (wedding-style) flavor that I was hoping for. While it didn’t quite hit the flavors I was craving, it was still a very solid dish. Also, I wasn’t sure if the cashews were necessary but the serrano peppers definitely was not needed, the flavor profile does not go with it. Kacha morich (Thai chilies) would have been a better choice.
The mango lassi was good. As usual I only got a sip before the kid claimed the rest!
Nitpicking aside, I’m genuinely happy to have a Bangladeshi food cart in Austin. This is something that is way way way overdue! I’ll definitely be back in a few weeks once they’ve had time to refine things. Looking forward to seeing how they evolve!
Per the menu they do catering, and all food is halal.
