So I have never been to India but I have tried what I consider good authentic Indian food in NYC, London, Baltimore and now today I had some of the best authentic Indian food from this food truck in Gary Indiana. So for my friends who have not tried authentic Indian food, I would say it’s an acquired taste. It wasn’t till I graduated from college that I started to truly appreciate good Indian cooking and by “authentic” that means expect the cooking to be extremely potent in strong Indian spices like cumin, coriander, curry, cinnamon, cloves and fennel seeds. Most of the people I know from India and Pakistan have a very strong tolerance for these “authentic” Indian spices and if you’re not in a full sweat with your pores feeling like a mentholated cigarette after your meal, then chances are that cooking has been watered down to fit the pallet of non Indians. So with all I have just said in mind, I called ahead to order the chicken saag which is white meat chicken with spinach and a number of other green veggies and most importantly I requested that they “NOT” make it too spicy. The person I spoke too on the phone doesn’t really understand much English. So when I arrived the other worker who does speak a little bit better English said they were out of the ingredients to make chicken saag but said they could make chicken tiki masala. So I asked them, what can I order that is “NOT” spicy and so the cook said he can make butter chicken not too spicy. So when you order an entree it seems to include everything shown in my photo except for the salad dressing which real Indian restaurants might offer a little yogurt for the fresh onions. So I am happy to say that everything was super delicious, not too spicy as I requested but spiced enough that I was sweating and knew I had just had some of the best authentic Indian food I have had in a very long time. I will literally return to Gary which might not be the safest neighborhood just so I can eat some authentic Indian food from this food truck! Also I learned something new that the flatbread included was as another reviewer described as paneer paratha and not naan as I originally mistaken it for.
10/21/25 Made a return trip tonight and ordered my favorite Indian dish chicken saag. If I could increase my review to 6 stars then I would, because the chicken saag was made just how I like it and after a week of hard work, getting to enjoy chicken saag from Punjabi Dhaba makes me so happy.
10/23/25 – Today I returned to takeout lunch and after my previous order which cost almost $18, I thought I would try to see if this place even offers anything inexpensive because I don’t mind paying extra for dinner but I don’t like spending a lot for lunch. Anyway I ordered the Yellow Dal Tadka which is a vegetarian dish of lentils in a soupy, almost puréed sauce that is strong with Indian spices.
This is a dish I have seen served for free in some Hindu temples.
According to ChatGPT, Hindus believe…
Seva (selfless service): Serving food to devotees and visitors is seen as an act of service to God, since all living beings are considered divine creations.
Prasadam: Food offered to the deity is believed to be blessed. Sharing it with people distributes divine grace.
Dharmic duty: Feeding the hungry is considered a noble duty (dana) in Hindu scriptures and an important part of living a virtuous life.
Needless to say this meal was not free and in fact I still had to dole out $13.90 for this lunch and as you can see from my photo, I think they forgot to include paneer parathra (bread). So I change my mind about thinking they deserve 6 stars but the food has been super delicious 3 times in a row and so to me that consistency still deserves 5 stars!

My first time here I ordered lamb biryani it was a little on the orange side as far as color but overall it was very delicious meat was very tender too, the prices are very reasonable they made it like I asked not to spicy it came out perfect! The service was great as well! I’ll definitely be back to try other things on the menu! Thank you!
I ordered from here the other day and had to try it again! This time I ordered on DoorDash and got something different I got the butter chicken, it was really tasty! All condiments came with it ready to just eat!

The worst food you can ever eat. Lots of house flies and no one to clean the tables.
Mix veg paratha had no stuffing at all and was burnt. Plain paratha was ok.
Butter Chicken, Dal makhani & yellow jeera rice had so much food color that it became disgusting to eat.
I wish they knew how to cook true Punjabi food.

We stopped by for dinner while on our way to Chicago. Great food, which was no surprise as many of our friends have told us about this place.
What made the stop more pleasant was the exceptional service. Jatin was kind and kept checking on us. Even the owner stopped by to say hello.
They were also very helpful in catering to some special request by our 7 year old.
I wish we lived closer so we could come here more often.
Highly recommend this place.

A true taste of India in the slums. It’s a little food truck serving authentic food 24 hrs a day.
Please don’t come here asking for great butter chicken or Indian food without spices.
I read some reviews on here written by people who have no idea what a Indian food is.
Asking for it and then saying hold the spice is lol.. like going to buy a car and saying hold the engine.
It’s worth the drive to Gary Indiana to enjoy this great little truck that can

I had the mix veg paratha, plain paratha, and paneer, and everything tasted amazing. The plain paratha was so fresh and it was same as home-cooked that even my 5 year old loved it! The quality of the food was excellent, and the service was great. They even gave us free saag, which was a lovely gesture. The people there are extremely kind and welcoming. Overall, a wonderful experience — highly recommended!

The food here is absolutely amazing. I’ve only eaten here twice though. Last year I went and I wanted goat curry but they only had lamb curry so I got that and I enjoyed it so much. I went back for the second time yesterday and they actually had the goat curry so I ordered that and it was one of the best dishes that I’ve ever had. I will definitely be going back again to taste some of their other dishes, but all I can say is that both the lamb curry and the goat curry were amazing.
