Madrasdhaba

Best Indian food in Austin. Chicken 65, tikka masala, saag paneer, and the paratha are all incredible. Their hours are strange and make it hard to order when you want it. For example they’re closed on Sundays — which is the day of the week I’m craving Indian food the most.

Madrasdhaba has quickly become a favorite of mine. The food is absolutely delicious and filled with flavor. The paratha “tacos” are so much fun and really big portions. My favorite is the chana masala one. The veg korma and tikka masala as a dish are also favorites. Really excellent delicious food that I’ll keep coming back for!

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...

SO GOOD YALL! I’ve been to India and this biriyani took me back there on my first bite. Guys were so nice, food was fast, and the portions are huge! They have a nice little patio in the back too where you could sit and chill and bring doggies! It’s a bright yellow little truck next to the highway hard to miss. I highly recommend. I came for dinner twice this week so so good. Next time I will come a little later when it’s not too hot out and sit in the patio area.

I was not expecting this food to be this good from a food truck. Shows how much I know about Austin. I stopped by this spot before heading back to El Paso with a group of friends. I ordered the somosa's, chicken tikka masala, and garlic naan. The somosa's were the regular potato filled kind and was 2nd only to some I had in Singapore. The chicken tikka masala and basmati rice had a nice spice and incredibly tasty. Some of the best I've had in years. The garlic naan was probably the item that could have had the most improvement as it seemed like it wasn't made fresh but it still allowed for good taste. Would definitely recommend this spot!

Madrasdaba in Austin is a true delight for Indian cuisine lovers! The food here is incredibly authentic, with flavors that transport you straight to the streets of India. The atmosphere is casual and welcoming, making it a great spot for a quick bite or a relaxed meal with friends and family. Parking can be a challenge and a headache, especially on weekends. Finding a spot can be difficult and you will have to pay for street parking. If you park next to the Chinese restaurant, which is adjacent to the food truck lot, your vehicle will be towed.

So disappointed! Below average indian food! And their prices are on par with the restaurant prices.. everything was in togo boxes after a long wait , it was not even busy ! Ended up paying $60 plus 15% tip.. not even a single dish was good, guys please get trained and try to change recipes when you are charging a lot of money, atleast please be considerate
