    Paneer Tikka
    Vis V.

    I was craving paneer, so when I saw pictures of the paneer skewers and the paneer spinach melt sandwich, I just needed to try them. We ordered the Paneer Tikka, Vada Pav, Fried Idli, and the Paneer Spinach Melt. Warning: The Paneer Tikka is spicy due to the jalapeños, but it's really yummy with the sauce! I would recommend it for those who enjoy spice. The Paneer Spinach Melt was indescribably delicious. It's obviously not the healthiest in terms of fat content, but the flavors were wonderful. The sandwich had a great cheese pull, and the chutney added the perfect touch to this buttery melt. This is one of my favorites now! The fried idlis are a MUST! I've had these and my family makes them, but the seasoning on the idlis with the flavor of the dipping sauce is simply perfection. Their mango lassi was not overly sweet and just right. Next time, I want to try the Doffles! I've never had those. The food was yummy, but did take a while to come out. This food truck is inside a food truck park, so there was some seating and one fan.

    Dosa shack was on my list to try for some time. I must say I was not disappointed. We tried paneer dosa, plain dosa, paneer tikka and panipuri. Everything was very tasty. Dosas were crispy and chutneys were yum. But you have to love spicy food if you wanna try this place. They chutneys were spicy but very tasty. I definitely recommend.

    Veggie Uttapam

    I got the Veggie Uttapam and was disappointed that it was 90% onion and a tiny bit of raw broccoli. It wasn't cooked all the way so the broccoli was still raw. :( It came with a small lentil soup that was so hot that it worries me about the plastic chemicals melting into the soup. The Veggie Uttapam was too spicy for me and too dry - the overload of lentil powder did not help. Mango lassi was fine, nothing special. There are bathrooms 2 down from the Sushi truck - ramp leads to a white door labeled Restrooms. There are picnic tables around to sit down at.

    Dosa shack is a vegetarian South Indian food truck taking their grandma's dosa recipe and inventing creative specials! (Dosa's are savory crepes) We loved the classic dosa (potato, onion, curry leaf) and peppy paneer dosa (paneer, pickled onion, herb yogurt). The dosa itself was perfection, fresh & crispy, and both fillings were so flavorful! My favorite is the peppy paneer :) The sauces that accompany the dosas are a fantastic complement. I love the spin on the traditional dipping sauces and sambal. The red sauce (a ginger chutney) has a little kick which I loved! We also tried this month's January specials, both are uttapams (a fluffy, savory pancake). The uttapam sandwich is stuffed with a pav bhaji-like potato patty. I found the sandwich quite heavy but tasty! My favorite was the crispy avocado uttapam. This is eaten like a taco and stuffed with fried avocado and a delicious slaw. Have to try! Last but not least, the mango lassi. This is a thick drink made with yogurt and mango, slightly sweet and very refreshing. A great choice to accompany your meal! This is definitely a spot I'd come back to. Delicious dosas and specials every month! Hope they keep the crispy avocado uttapam on the permanent menu though :)

    I like dosas so why not try it stuffed with some yummy flavor combinations! Who can say no to cheese?! From their colorful food truck, inviting website to excellent customer service it was definitely a pleasant experience. I ordered the Classic dosa, jalapeño cheese dosa and the Bombay grilled cheese. They gave us a buzzer and estimate time it will be ready. They have tables set up next to the truck and they are fancy!!!! They had a mister!!! In this Texas heat you need that mist to cool you off. I picked up the goods and I enjoyed EVERYTHING! I am amazed how they got the filling in the dosa where it didn't alter the texture of it. It wasn't soggy from the cheese or fillings. The cheese jalapeño and classic dosa has great flavors. The dark red/maroon sauce was the star of the show. Yum! I love spicy foods so it was the highlight for me. Very spicy and good. The Bombay grilled cheese was excellent . It had superb flavor and I like the fresh tomato. The soup that came with it was delicious. I dipped my dosa in it too :). Go check them out in the food trailer park off Burnet road.

    Paneer dosa

    A friend recommended this place so we went although this was a little out of the way. The food is ok at best. The dosa is nothing to write home about, the stuffing is decent but the quantity of the food for the price is very little and the accompaniments like Sambhar is way too little for the dosa. The chutney was ok though. It does not stop at the dos though. We also got the Bombay sandwich and I promise I can make a better sandwich without putting much effort into it. The only thing nice was the wada pav and I couldn't get myself to call it great although I tried. Not going back.

    I can tell the owner really cares about his food. The quality is high. I have had better dipping sauce and dosa fillings before, but the dosa dough/batter from this place is the best I have ever had. That being said, their fillings and curry sauce are great too, but the dough is just outstanding I got jackfruit dosa and patty paneer dosa. They all look the same from the outside so I only took 1 photo. Both flavors are great. I'll come back for sure.

    The menu includes dosas of course but they also have few chaat items and grilled sandwiches. They also offered mini samosas and kaju katli sweets as part of the one year anniversary celebration. We ordered a jack fruit and peppy paneer filling dosa. The lady outside informed us that there would be a45 minute wait which was also expected since it was Friday evening. The owners were very polite throughout and thanked us for our patience. Our order came within 20 minutes though and dosas were quite tasty. There was ample filling in the dosas with the right combination of spices. All dosas are pink which is not customary. The pink color comes from beetroot added to the batter and is a dedication to mothers and grandmothers in India. A wonderful thought and gesture.

    If you're looking for high quality South Indian food with the sweetest owners and incredible taste, then check out the Dosa Shack. They're posted up at 5000 Burnet with a bunch of other food trucks and I'd argue that their menu is the most solid food truck menu. Everything is superb, and I've had most of the menu. They have a really nice setup with plenty of seats by the truck to enjoy your meal. Start off with a mango lassi, samosa nachos and definitely order a classic dosa if you haven't had one before. If you have, then I recommend the SPC^2 dosa. Also, if visiting on the weekend and you see a special called Cheese Burst Vada Pav, order it! Finish off your meal with a rose caramel doffle and thank me later!

    Admittedly I don't know much about dosas, but I thought they were pretty good! The crepe part was crispy and the filling was flavorful. I got the classic dosa which is a potato, onion, curry leaf filling which I think is a good starting point for anyone to try. It's not a spicy filling but it is delicious. My sister got the devil veggie which was recommended as a backup option as the other spicy option she was looking for was sold out. The dosas come with 2 chutneys and a lentil soup. The "spicier" chutney wasn't too bad and leans more into the sweeter side for me...but may actually be spicy for some. The green chutney wasn't spicy but was my favorite flavor combo. The paneer tikka was delicious but those jalapeños were spicy! And I'd like to think my spice tolerance is pretty high so you've been warned. The portion was a bit small but honestly, the sticks were so tasty I couldn't complain.

    Zesty Peppy Paneer Dosa
    Shruti S.

    Been here a few times, and food has been great every time. Paneer and the spinach dosa is what I usually get. Took one star down since the wait can sometimes take 20-30 mins. Even with only 2-3 people in before you.

    Original Dosa $11 - basically nothing inside this
    Bill M.

    Tried this food truck a while back and ordered an original dosa. I have never had one, but this seemed like a rip off, $11 for basically nothing. It was like a crispy crepe with some spices smeared inside and a couple of sauces and a 4oz soup. Not for me.

    Very good Indian food truck with a variety of options. We got samosa chaat which is broken samosa…read morein chutney, chickpea, diced tomatoes, red onion, chutney and something tangy but refreshing like tamarind, drizzled with yogurt. It has a nice crunch from the fried dough and other fresh ingredients cut through the richness of the dough. Pani puri comes with a good portion of radha and chutney. The chutney is a bit salty in my experience. Would've been better if it was a bit more on the tangy and minty side. This food truck uses red onion in their food, which makes you not have strong onion breath. Rose falooda is creamy and delicious. The ice cream in there is more like icy, not the traditional ice cream texture. It has lots of toppings, such as dried fruit, slivered almonds, chopped pistachio, and basil seeds. The crunch from nuts and basil seeds, the sweetness from dried fruit, the slight tang from dried raisin, the creaminess of milk and the aroma of rose combined in a perfect sweet treat. There're several tables and benches but no umbrellas, so it'll be really hot to eat there in Texas summer. Service is efficient and food comes out very fast.

    Great vegetarian food choice! I was not planning on a vegetarian rescue meal (I did not eat…read morebreakfast and lunch at work) but I picked the veggie pizza sandwich and surprisingly delish! I may have asked for naan bread instead of the sandwich bread they have but the taste of the sandwich was so good! They have the buzzer to get your order when it's ready. You can eat on site they actually have two tables if you choose to eat on site. I ordered mine as takeout. Great value I only ate half and was full already! Clean and with parking adjacent to the gas station. Recommended!

Out of all the places nearby, Sangam stands out the most to me. This place is ALWAYS busy from open to close, every day of the week, and after eating here for years, it's easy to understand why. You can literally smell the fresh curries from the nearby HEB. The aroma alone makes you hungry. We've been coming since they first opened, and it's been great watching them continue to improve and expand the restaurant over time. The staff is attentive, friendly, and constantly checking in to help with orders or anything else you need. We've tried a huge variety of dishes over the years. Several curry's such as the Chettinad special curry, butter chicken, tikka masala, chicken 65, several biryanis, all consistently delicious. One of my personal favorites is the plain dosa and curry combo, which comes with four different chutneys that are all fantastic. Even my young son loves coming here because they have things like shrimp noodles and fried rice that are kid friendly while still tasting great. We used to mostly order to-go, but lately we've started dining in more often because the experience itself is so enjoyable. Service is quick, the atmosphere is comfortable, and I really appreciate the details. The artwork and photos on the walls, the music, and the lighting that isn't overly bright. They even dim it more in the evenings, which makes it feel even more relaxed and welcoming. Every visit has been a great experience for our family. Easily one of our favorite restaurants in the area.
