Really solid fried chicken sandwiches with unique flavors! We got the medium spicy and it was a great balance of spicy and sweet. The corn side dish and mimosas were also very good. I would skip the fries next time as they were basically the crinkle cut kind that come frozen. Service was quick and friendly. It is outdoor seating only so really nice option for a casual quick bite and then get a drink at Tweedy's across the street. read more

(05/05) Finally got to try Guppys with my bf after some time and they definitely met our expectations with the flavor and quality of their chicken sandwich. A few things to note about experience though is that we got the sandwich in their South Gangster spice level and honestly it wasn't spicy at all- very underwhelming. Another thing was that we came on a Tuesday night and it took 30 minutes for the chicken sandwich to be made, despite there being maybe 3 other people there.. Nonetheless, one of the better chicken sandwiches here in Austin. read more

Guppy's is a food truck located at Tweedy's Bar that offers Indian-inspired chicken sandwiches. One of the most popular is the Kashmiri Kick sandwich with a spice level that I'd describe as medium-hot. There are nine different heat levels (with different names available). In addition to chicken sandwiches, they have nuggets and a fried Indian cottage cheese sandwich (Paneer). Crinkle cut fries, Peri Peri fries, loaded fries, and a few other style of fries available. Banana chips, rice & beans and other sides on the menu. Guppy's is relatively new to Austin, opening just two years ago in 2024 and is Austin's first Indian fried chicken joint. Sauces and spices are housemade. The food is flavorful, tender, and juicy. All of it cooked to comfort food level perfection. read more

Indian fried chicken... never before seen until now. Insane crunch while still maintaining that juicy flavor blast, the version with apples on top is wild, and they even have duck fat fries. Make sure you try that 65 sauce, he's got his own version. Chef is doing it like never before and all his recipes are next leve; ! You can tell he takes pride in the food. We will definitely be back. This is in a food truck area outside of a bar. good seating read more

The sitting area was clean and well maintained. However, the spice rub wasn't applied evenly across all the pieces, so the flavor was inconsistent. The food was also too oily for my liking. read more

A really unique concept and delicious food! It did seem a little bit pricey for food truck food, my meal was $20, but my sandwich was yummy and it was a fun experience. Food came out pretty quickly but it was definitely fresh. There's a cute seating area between the food trucks so plenty of place to sit and enjoy in person or you could do take out. read more

Omgggg I am obsessed with these nuggets. To be clear I am not a boneless wing girly so I was not sure how I would feel. However, these nuggets are delicious. Got them in the street Szechuan and loved it. Would maybe go up a spice level next time because these weren't as spicy as I expected. Boyfriend got the sando with peri peri which was also yummy. Not a huge fan of the tikka fries but I'd try a different type next time. read more

Chicken is crispy and super flavorful. I thought the street schezwan was pretty good and the bhenncchoo was super spicy. I enjoyed the yogurt sauce and wished I got to try their tikka sauce but they ran out. I thought the fries were alright, they could be crispier and they were also a bit soggy even though we were eating them fresh/right when it came out. You should get there before they close because they start running out of things around 8-8:30. It was about a 30 min wait for 2 orders of nuggets and 2 sandwiches at 7:45 pm. read more

This place was brand new to me - my date recommended it and I'd never heard of it so went for it. It's inside a little food area next to a parking lot so there are spots there or on the street. There are lots of little tables outside where you can eat too which is nice. On to the food - I was actually really blown away by how delicious it was! They have different ways of preparing the chicken and different marinades. I got the mid spicy one on "chicken nuggets" which came fried with bay leaves. It seemed simple but OMG the flavor of this chicken was BOMB -- soooo flavorful and the sauces eg chipotle were fantastic. My date got a fried chicken sandwich and said it was also incredible, it looked like it! The workers told us they are new and won an award recently for being a great Austin food truck spot. Can confirm they're worth that hype -- seriously I would come here again any time. Really love the chicken read more

My friends and I had been wanting to try Guppys for a while, and we finally went a few weeks ago. The woman working the truck recommended the chicken nuggets and garlic fries. Both my friends ordered the chicken sandwich. The nuggets were the perfect size, full of flavor, and had the perfect amount of crispiness. The fries by themselves were just okay, but I dipped them in the sauce provided, and that helped. My friends tried my nuggets, but both agreed that they liked the sandwich better. read more

Stopped by Guppy's on a weekend trip to Austin. The food was great (slightly preferred the burger to the nuggets) though less spicy than expected. Would suggest anyone who loves spice get their spiciest flavor. There was an unfortunately long wait, so I'd say be careful if tight on time. Raj was super friendly and made our experience a great one. Would definitely come back! read more

100% recommend. Really flavorful and delicious sandwich and bites. So much food for the price. The duck fat fries were rich and tasty. Wonderful head level for the Szechuan on the sandwich and periperi on the bites. Friendly staff and some covered seating. Will definitely be back to try more flavors. read more

Chicken sando (kashmiri chili) was stunning, truly perfectly cooked. Incredibly juicy with the crispiest exterior you've ever tasted, technique was true perfection. Mango yogurt drink also very very tasty. Fries were very underwhelming and left alot to be desired, a bit soggy from the sauce and not super flavorful. Nevertheless, the sandwich alone and drink are enough to get this into the low 5 star range! And reasonable prices too! Small outdoor seating area by the food trucks, and close to neighboring bar for more fans and seating! Good experience read more

3.5/5 but rounded up to 4 since staff were super nice The location for Guppy's is probably the worst part of it. When I went it was on a Sunday and they were located right behind a DJ set. The music was super loud so it was difficult to hear the staff(and myself think lol). Not only that but the truck is located in the back corner of the lot right next to a brick and mortar zucchini kills so there's not a lot of room to order and wait for your food. Seating is slightly limited so it may be a good idea to take your food to go. My husband and I both got the chicken nuggets, I got the honey 65 and he got the street Szechuan flavor with a side of garlic duck fat fries. We also got the sweet mint dipping sauce. The honey 65 was honestly so good, it didn't need any additional sauces. The nuggets were tender and if I were to get just one thing off of the menu it would be this. The street Szechuan was bland. We tried dipping it in the mint sauce but the mint sauce had a slightly off flavor to it. The nuggets here were super tender though so that was nice. The duck fat fries were just super oily. Honestly I was expecting more flavor but it was just oil . The texture was pretty nice and crunchy. read more

We had a fairly decent experience at Guppy's. Everything was priced well and we received friendly service. However the food itself didn't hit the mark. It wasn't bad just underwhelming. It didn't have those bold, layered flavors you would typically find in Indian cuisine. We tried their third highest spice level "Honey Badger" and It barely registered as spicy. If you enjoy heat I would jump higher on the list. We also tried their garlic duck fat fries, which were seasoned extremely well. To the point you couldn't enjoy them. Extremely salty, I'm not one to hate on salt but they went overboard. I don't think that's the norm could have just been a slip on their part. read more

That moment you meet a legend‼ Outside of technology, that's chefs for me‼ Chef Raj of Guppys ATX has created the best fried chicken concoction I've ever consumed! His Indian style blend of spices was perfection across every single bite. If I wasn't on Tirzepatide I would have downed at least three of these back to back. Yes! They're that good! Trust me, if I'm posting about it, I would go back again, & it means so should you. That's not all! It warms my heart when I get the chance to meet the creator in the kitchen for these feasts. That job is never easy, & let's face it, most of us are demanding pains in the ass. Also feasts are one of the best ways to evaluate friends, especially those being considered for wifey material. How a person treats the staff at a restaurant can be a great indicator of red flags. I've watched someone drill the waiter for 30 minutes about all her fictional self-diagnosed conditions as the group sat there in amazement. Before the lovely waiter walked away I caught her attention and tossed my prayer hands, then raised the tip to 30% at the end. That same person took home all the left overs. I guess the "allergies" were real... Right. That was the last time she was ever invited. The moral of this story! Always appreciate the folks working their ass off to take care of you. No exceptions! The job isn't easy. It takes sweat, guts, and patience. There's no need to add complexity or be entitled. read more

Went here with a couple friends to try. It's a little bit tucked away in the back so not with the other food trucks nearby. It's right next to the zucchini kill bakery. It's all fusion of Indian street flavors meet spicy fried chicken. I got the street Szechuan sando, garlic duck fat fries, and a mango lassi. The flavors worked really well together and the chicken was nice and juicy. The mango lassi creamy and the duck fat an extra edge to the fries. Service was great and the guy who runs it was really helpful in deciding what to get and making you feel welcome. Since it's inside another outdoor bar there is a lot of outdoor seating so great to hang out when the weather isn't super cold. I will say this had lots of sauce so things soaked in pretty quickly. Definitely eat when you get it and don't let it sit too long before tasting otherwise you may have some soggy bread. 10/10 recommend getting nice and fresh! read more

Finally made it out here after wanting to try it for awhile. I'll just get it out of the way first: easily the best hot chicken in Austin. I tried the sando with Honey 65 sauce, the nuggets with the South Gangster sauce/rub, tikka chili fries, and a mango lassi. The chicken is cooked to order and so it comes out hot, crispy, and perfectly done. And they use duck fat! Hell yeah. The flavors are both familiar if you're a hot chicken fan but also definitely its own thing due to the Indian influence. If you're a fan of places like T22, then this is that but kicked up a notch. They use thigh meat only, so the meat is juicy and tender and not dried out. Prices are MORE than fair for the quality of what you get here. The owner Raj is super friendly. We had to wait a little bit before he could take our order because he was finishing up another order. He wouldn't let us give him a tip and just asked that we spread the word if we liked the food. Well the food was absolutely fire so I can't recommend it highly enough. Go check them out! read more

If you love fried chicken, RUN to Guppys. This is not just the best fried chicken I've ever had, this is some of the BEST FOOD I've ever eaten. We split the 14 pc chicken nuggets (thigh meat) with Golden 65 level of spiciness / honey flavoring and the duck fat fries. OMG. Transformative. Indescribably delicious. Sweet, spicy, crispy, perfectly seasoned, perfectly tender, just incredible. Went back three days later to have the same thing again. I want it again now, but sadly I was just visiting (lived in Austin for many years). Next time I'm in Austin, I will be making it a point to eat Guppys chicken. They (currently) are located on the patio next to Tweedy's (formerly Spiderhouse). I lived in Los Angeles for the last fifteen years and this rates with the best food I found there. GO read more

Came here for a late night snack with friends! We ordered the nuggets with the honey sauce, the tikka fries, the chicken sandwich with the south gangster sauce, and the chicken sandwich with the honey sauce. Honey nuggets- 5/5 super crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside. The honey flavor paired super well with it Chicken sandwiches 4.5/5- the chicken fillet is thick and juicy, pairs well with the coleslaw Tikka fries 3/5- It was a bit soggy, even the parts not covered in the sauce. The sauce was pretty good, a classic tikka sauce with a slight kick. It was good but nothing stood out Overall, the food and atmosphere was very nice. The service was pretty slow, our fries were ready in 20 minutes and the chicken was done over 30 minutes after ordering. There is a small parking lot and the food truck is through the patio of the bar Tweedy's. read more

the small samosa steal my mind ! the garlic sauce they have with it is so addicting ! wish I could have a whole jar bringing home. The south gangster even though mentioned 3rd spicy level on the menu, it is quite amazing and surpringsly not spicy at all ! if you are thinking of chosing between the tika chillies fries or garlic fat duck fries.. def the garlic fat duck !!! it so genuinely good I'd come back for more ! read more

Super tasty chicken. I had the Honey Badger with a side of the masala sauce. You get a ton of nuggets.

Guppy's was such a great flavor experience. We got one each of the Honey 65 and Street Schezwan Nuggets and a Street Schezwan Burger. The burger was loaded and incredible. The sauces were great. Our feedback on the nuggets would be that we would prefer them crispier but especially on the Street Schezwan since it's the only one not listed as a dry rub on the menu and became soft by the time we got home. 10/10 would return again and recommend to others. read more

Great food. Got the south gangsta nuggets and the Sichuan burger. The food was really good but less spicier than I expected. Raj is a great guy and I will be back to try the Beenchode flavor. read more

Tried the Paneer Sando at Guppy's in Austin and honestly, it blew me away. The flavors were bold yet perfectly balanced ...crispy, flavorful paneer packed into soft bread with just the right amount of spice and freshness. Hands down one of the best Indian dishes I've had in Austin. It's creative, comforting, and addictive. If you're looking for something unique that still captures authentic Indian flavors, this is it. Highly recommend! read more

Guppys is one of the best food trucks I've visited thus far in Austin! The owner Raj is really passionate about what he puts out. The chicken is always freshly fried and man was it flavorful. The South Gangster chicken Sando has so much flavor -- juicy, spicy and crunchy. The schezwan tenders are crispy and have a nice kick. The duck fat fries are special and you can tell they're fried in duck fat, so tasty. And if you're looking for a fresh menu item to lighten the richness, the beet and paneer salad is great. Plus it's halal for anyone looking for a halal meal. Please check this place out! The care comes through the food. 10/10 read more

Hands down the most flavorful chicken sandwich in town! I had the Street Schezwan sandwich. It was pretty spicy, but the flavor was so good that you don't mind the spice. We also tried the corn salad and tikka chilli fries, which were also very good. Definitely a great deal, prices are somewhat cheap for Austin. Can't wait to come back read more
