    Samosa Chaat
    Yuria G.

    There was a food truck at the event, and I just had to check it out. It'd been a while since I'd had Indian food, so I went for the samosa chaat, which was totally new to me. Later, I found out that "chaat" means a savory snack. The samosa chaat started off a little sweet, then got spicy--it was such a cool mix of flavors! Plus, the textures were really fun. For around $10, I'd definitely go back and try other dishes.

    I tried their combo which came with a choice of curry (channa masala, wish they had a paneer option), samosa, paratha, and rice. The line moved very fast and the food was pretty good, I am a fan.

    Butter chicken with paratha- very good, not spicy.
    Eva L.

    I recommend the samosa chaat. It was soooo good I wanted to dance in my seat while eating it. It had just enough samosa pieces that you can enjoy the entire dish without feeling overwhelmed by the other ingredients. Just a hint of spiciness. The chickpeas, yogurt, tamarind chutney and crispy sev (chickpea noodles) toppings covering the samosas was like finding a treasure with every bite. The samosa itself was very good, too. The butter chicken and parata combo was also exceptional. Butter chicken was on a sweeter side, not spicy at all but still has the familiar tomato and spices flavor of butter chicken. The chicken in the curry was cut in bite sized pieces which I appreciate because it makes it easier to eat. Chicken also has it own flavor, not bland. The paratha was the best one I've had. The combo me with two pieces. Paratha was not too oily. It's flaky, soft and gets denser toward the center. Texture was not doughy. Both dishes did not disappoint. The girl the orders was patient and pleasant when other customers were asking questions about the food. Paid $25 total for both dishes. Only downside is the wait to get the food; took 19 minutes after paying. Would have been a 5 star if wait was not long. Found the lm at the Dillo Haat at Kelly Park in SJ. Will definitely choose their food if I find them at another event.

    Kothu Parotta

    Update: I tried the kothu parotta again, and it was awesome, after long time had a kothu parotta taste same as my home town in India and we tried their channa rice bowl it's perfect, Highly recommend this place.

    This food truck offers one of the best chicken curries i have had! This food truck was parked close to our house on a Wednesday evening so thought of trying then out. Ordered the rice plate with chicken curry, paratha curry (butter chicken curry with this plate) and the vegetarian samosa. Everything was just delicious and the service was pretty quick. Taking off a star though as we felt the portion size wasn't as much as we expected.

Jubba is serving up some of the best food i've ever had. As a newbie to somali food, I am now hooked. we came in on a friday around 6:15 and there was a steady group of people enjoying their food. we ordered at the counter and took a seat outside to enjoy the weather 1 Sambusa 1 chicken wrap 1 beef plate the sambusa arrived first and initially I thought Samosa in my head. But the sambusa has a better structure, holding its shape after multiple bites. the Dough is softer but still crispy. it came with beef , chilies and other vegetables. so so good. the perfect appetizer for us. it came with a spicy green sauce that seemed to be the common sauce for every dish then the stars of the show. The sizzling hot beef plate served with veggies, rice and a salad was unbelievable. add on a lemon and some more greens sauce and you're in for a treat. the rice alone was so flavorful and it tasted like there was meat drippings on top. the beef was so tender and fell apart in 1 bite. I was blown away with the dish the chicken wrap... man. I'm not sure what kind of bread, pita was used but it was fantastic. a huge wrap with lettuce, onion chicken, sauce and other veggies. It was so messy and hard to eat with your hands so we resorted to eating with a fork and knife. Unreal. Unreal. massive portions again which are a theme here. But holy smokes this was so good. The chicken has a nice char, but is also juicy and saucy. the spongy pita neutralizes the bombardment of flavor from the meat, and the veggies compliment everything with some crunch and texture. Service was great and very helpful. They were extremely friendly and a delight to talk with. We will be back 5/5

My Gen Y friends rate it 3.5 stars while my old buddy and I give it a solid 4. Food (3.5-4 stars) + The chicken wrap ($11-14) was the star: huge, flavorful, and the two sauces--spicy green and creamy white yogurt based sauce--made it even better. + Sambusa appetizer ($3) was fantastic. It's like a samosa with meat and various spices filling. It's better than many Indian ones I've had. ~ Sports Plate ($35-44) was large and tasty, with tender beef atop yellow rice and those same great sauces. Great spices but it's lacking some heat. I wonder if we can get it spicy? ~ Beef suqaar ($17-26) was just okay--flavors a bit standard and the meat a bit tough. It comes with a choice of starch I think. We picked the jeera which is like a crepe/tortilla. This dish is like an African version of Fajitas. Service/Ambiance (3 stars) + They bring the food to the table after you order at the counter. ~ The ambiance feels a bit dated, more '80s strip mall than cozy, but it's a unique, authentic experience. - No free water--bottled water ($1-2) or soft drinks only. We had a great time, but next time, I'll bring my own water!

So, I've unfortunately been passing it over. I finally decided to try it out and I was in for a treat.

But the star of the show was the kebab for sure. Meaty, plump, flavorful, definitely one of the outstanding chicken kebabs in town. Lot of places give you a dry, flaky kebabs but here, it's been cooked to the perfect amount of juiciness. The rice was also butterly and flavorful. Good pita, hummus and the vegetables too. It might feel a little pricey (but everything else is too nowadays), but they give you a nice filling portion. The staffs are very nice and attentive. Clean, fun, colorful interior. I'd love to dine in next time. I'm definitely coming back for more, I want to try the loaded fries wraps, and the kanafeh next time around. The location's and the parking access is not the best, so I really hope Manakish gets all the attraction and attentions it deserves!

That was the problem with the falafel wrap, too: the menu promised hummus, cabbage & tomatoes salad, and pickled turnips, but those ingredients weren't anywhere to be seen. There was some lettuce instead, but lettuce is a poor substitute as it just becomes immediately soggy and adds no flavor. If you've ever had falafel in Israel, you will be disappointed by the falafel here, unfortunately. (Israeli falafel shops each make at least a dozen toppings from family recipes, so you put as many veggies and sauces in as you can to create a flavor party in your mouth.)

When it was taking longer than expected, I walked back up to them and asked what the status of the order was and they told me that they accidentally gave away my order to a doordasher and that they called him and told him to bring it back so they could give it to me. I'm very disappointed in this practice for a few reasons - at no point did they let me know this transparently, and if I hadn't asked about it, I assume they would have just given me an order that some stranger already drove off with, which is unsanitary, not to mention that my food would be cold. It's also unreasonable to expect that a customer would accept food that someone else drove off with. On top of this, the food took way too long for obvious reasons. Instead of suggesting an appropriate alternative like them remaking the meal they expected me to take the food that passed through someone else's hands. I told them I need a refund because that's a disgusting suggestion. The food here is quite good so I'm very disappointed and reluctant to give this place a bad review, but it's inexcusable to do this in my opinion and doesn't speak well as to the other hygiene practices of this business.
