Based on the dishes we tried, I don't think I'd recommend this place. My friends and I shared the dahi batata puri, chinese bhel, and ragda pattice. The best of the bunch was the dahi batata puri, but it still didn't quite hit the spot. It was definitely on the sweeter side and I felt like the dahi/yogurt wasn't as creamy as I prefer. The chinese bhel was okay, but didn't have much flavor. Lastly the ragda pattice had so much potential. The flavor was there, but it was insanely spicy- even as someone with a med/high spice tolerance. You could feel the burn traveling down to your stomach. All of us found it unbearable and worse of all felt the affects for a day after. Perhaps we ordered the wrong dishes but after the all the discomfort of the meal- I don't feel inclined to return. read more

I'm not one to write negative reviews often, but this experience at Maya Kitchen Food Truck in Sunnyvale-Cupertino Border warrants it. Yesterday, I ordered a Vada Pav, Shalimar Egg Mughlai (on their recommendation from their list of egg dishes), and a Veg Frankie -- and honestly, none of it lived up to the hype(5 stars currently) or price point. Vada Pav: It was okay. The "mirchi" served alongside was literally a raw Thai green chili. Really? At least pan-fry it with some salt and oil to enhance the flavor. For over $10 with taxes, this was already pricier than better Vada Pavs you can get at places like Elco Drive, and yet it offered nothing exceptional. Frankie: This one made me genuinely angry. It was a soggy maida roll stuffed with the same aloo masala from the Vada Pav, plus a few sad shreds of cabbage. That's it. And they had the audacity to charge $12 for it. ($1.50 for cheese, lol I am glad we didn't add)This isn't a Frankie -- it's a lazy repackaged Vada Pav with no flavor or creativity. They threw in some pickled jalapeños on the side, which only added confusion. If you're running a fusion menu(well partially), at least mention it upfront instead of misleading customers. Egg Shalimar Mughlai: At $13, it was passable but still not impressive. The bun on the side was not toasted or anything. Better than the Frankie, but nothing I'd recommend or return for. I was so excited for trying this place but, overall, this place is overpriced, underwhelming, and frankly disappointing. If your Vada Pav and Frankie are practically identical, maybe inform customers before they order both. I wouldn't recommend Maya Kitchen -- save your time, appetite and money and go somewhere else. Thank me later. read more

This is my favorite Indian food truck!! Food is absolutely amazing and the staff are so kind and down to earth. They gave us great recommendations when we didn't know what to order and we loved everything we got, in addition to being able to customize spice level as I am not someone who can handle my heat. My meal was the perfect spice level for me. They have a cute seating area with string lights and heaters for evening visits, and plenty of tables and chairs so don't shy away coming with a group. Meals came with paratha, rice, raita, and a gulab Jamun. Curries and main dishes were a generous portion that I wasn't able to finish. Falooda and mango lassi were both 10/10 compliments to the meal as well. Overall highly recommend this spot! Will be back next time I'm craving Indian food. read more

Maya Kitchen - Food Trucks Near Me - Sunnyvale, California

This is simply my favorite Indian food truck + restaurant in the area! The first time I visited was during their opening week quite a while ago now and I've taken a long time to write a review. They waited 10 minutes beyond closing time for me to pickup the food the first time and the owner Paul also offered me complimentary chai (and also a few times after that, whenever I went to pickup food). I'd say I've visited once every week or at least every other week and have pretty much tried all of the menu and each dish has its own unique authentic flavor, and I'm blown away by that. While I'd vouch for every single dish, I definitely have my favorites. Kohlapuri Desi Murgh - Probably one of their trademark dishes. Great portions of both the dish and the chicken, slightly smoky gravy with flavor of coconut very authentic. Definitely the best version of this dish I've had in the Bay Area. The dish itself is not super oily but I make a special request to keep it lower. Ghazali Maratha Chicken - Tomato based gravy, slightly tangy because of the same. You get couple of chicken leg pieces with the dish. Again, good portions. I do highly recommend it. Shalimar Egg Mughlai Hara Masala - Green colored gravy with a significant flavor of garlic and cilantro. Super rich without being heavy on butter! Anda Keema Pav - It was different from a traditional keema for me. I expected this to be a dryer dish but it was not. It was not a "Keema". I was doubtful if they gave me a different egg dish but well I tried all of their egg dishes so probably not. Delicious, nevertheless, so I didn't care. The egg dishes come with Pav typically, and here as well. Peri Peri Paneer Sandwich - This is a repeat order from me. They grill it so well and it makes it sorta crunchy which is my favorite part. Lightly spiced paneer with mayo/peri peri sauce. Comes with chips (lays). Soya Chaap (Thali) - Creamy gravy as you can see in the picture. I've gotten this a couple of times and I personally loved it the first time but the second time I somehow felt it was a little less flavorful. The thali comes with paratha, rice, raita (not your usual!), and gulab jamun. Pretty filling. I've also tried a couple of their other specials like the chicken tikka frankie, and the chicken shami kebab pav. They may not be on the online menu but you can ask for them! Few of their chaat and other vegetarian dishes, I'm yet to try. I did try their Misal Pav and Vada Pav (2) in their opening week and I also highly recommend them. Extremely friendly owners I must say. They take customizations in terms of spice and oil/butter. I ask for spicy every time and it's actually not too spicy, just about right. They're also always adding new dishes and are extremely particular about the quality and flavor. I expect to be a repeat customer. There's decent amount of seating outside with a couple of other food trucks in the area as well. read more

A food truck with a big heart! In recent years, the number of Maharashtrian cuisine options in the Bay Area, especially in the South Bay, has exploded. Many of these establishments aim to ride the wave, but when it comes to authenticity and taste, they often fall short. Not Maya Kitchen. The owner, Paul, has curated a diverse menu featuring street-style vegetarian favorites like Pav Bhaji, Vada Pav, and Misal Pav, alongside non-vegetarian delights like Keema Pav and Anda Keema Pav. Everything we tried was amazing. My favorites are the Kolhapuri Mutton Masala and Crab Masala - dishes I crave and will definitely come back for. A special shout-out to Umesh, who always makes us feel welcome. I hope you guys to grow and thrive! Highly recommend... read more

The taleriwali chai is incredible- especially on a rainy cold day. The egg dishes are superb. The owner is so confident of the quality of his food - money back if you don't like it! I usually do a take out - there is a nice place to sit under a tent and enjoy a dhaba style food. read more

We went on a weekend, and it was a nice vibe next to a heater under the tent. We ordered manchow soup and chicken triple fried rice. Soup was slightly spicier, but good value for money overall. The second time was a little disappointing, we asked for medium spicy(I meant less green chilies) but it turned out to be sweet. But the chef was apologetic and offered to replace it too. So good place overall. read more

Absolutely love their food! Delicious flavors. Plus, they have a nicely lit seating area right next to the truck, and the service is pretty quick. Some of my go to food items - Veg Frankie - light yet filling Soya Chaap - curry is def flavourful Veg Chilli Momo - chilli tastes more like manchurian sauce but pairs well with the momos! Best part : they're open until midnight. read more

New truck alert and a very good one! My family visited this when I was out of town a few weeks back and insisted I had to try it. We got: Kolhapuri desi murgh thali: (5/5): thick and richly flavored gravy. They didn't skimp on anything nor did they beef it up with fat or dairy. It was spicy but didn't cause a tummy upset and just awakened all my senses. Not just awaken, it sent my taste buds dancing in joy. Soya chaap thali (5/5): it was my first time trying soya chaap. The gravy in this case was definitely made with almonds. Lightly colored but again full of flavor. Very different from the chicken so they didn't take shortcuts by using same gravy base across the dishes. Salimar egg mughalai Hara masala (4/5): this was recommended by the owner. Gravy in this case was green and I could taste cilantro. It came with pav buns on the side. The thalis came with a paratha, rice, raita and a gulab jamun. I was impressed. Not because the food was excellent for food truck standards but because the food was outstanding. Keep in mind that I just returned from a trip to India so my metrics are pretty high. Across the three dishes we tried, each gravy base was unique, thick and richly flavored. I highly recommend trying them out ASAP. I was impressed enough to go and give feedback to the owner about how good their food is. read more

Outstanding Mumbai style authentic street food. Stumbled upon them through yelp and tried them out today. Pav bhaji was excellent with a good spice blend. Like it that way instead of bland. Veg Frankie was outstanding too. Plenty of street parking available in the gas station parking lot and they have some seating near the food truck too. Excellent local find and would definitely visit to try something else again. read more

A nice little street-side Indo-Chinese food truck with a fun, casual vibe. The food portions are generous and the spice level definitely hits the spot. That said, the flavors could be better--tasty but not as bold as I'd hoped. Still, a solid spot if you're craving quick, spicy street-style eats. read more

We tried a couple of dishes here, Veg Manchurian, Veg Triple Schzewan Fried Rice, and Veg Schzewan Chowmein. Only place in bay area that served triple schzewan fried rice with separate curry and manchurian. The live counter was good to watch (reminds india). We reached by 6:45 pm, and there was a delay in serving. It seems like they had an online order. Limited sitting area (4 tables) and was clean. Overall, it was a good experience, and I would go again to try snack items. read more

Went here on a weekend afternoon. They have a tent if you want to eat there. Paneer tikka thali: it was not great. The gravy was tangy and had too much tomatoes. Raita had oil and the gulab jamun felt packaged. Kolhapuri desi murgh: the gravy was not bad. Though the chicken was hard. Not sure if it was country chicken. read more

Craving for mahar-ashtrian food? So this new Maya Kitchen food truck brings the flavors of authentic Marathi food .Taste is also very good, I can vouch for their exceptional Dadar vada pav , Kat Misal pav and Gulshan-E-Iran Egg Afghani- a true taste of authenticity. The sardar pav-bhaji and sev-puri are equally delightful, making it a must-visit for anyone craving a delicious slice of Marathi food culture. Quick service adds to the overall experience, making it a go-to spot for a delightful street food fix. All in all, I super highly recommend this place and will probably go back Again to try some different dishes probably their Thali Food: 5/5 | Service: 5/5 | Atmosphere: 5/5 Staff:5/5 Recommended dishes Chaat, Sardar Pav Bhaji , Dadar Vada Pav Kat vada Misal Pav,Sev Puri and kokam sharbat read more

Just stopped by this food truck to try. Amazing food! Keema pav was very delicious. Mutton was soft and tasty. Both on the medium-to-spicy side which I liked. The owners/staff were very friendly. I got the food to go but they have a few tables and a tent, so you can come with friends and enjoy the food here. I hope they succeed because their menu is very unique.

Update: I went back two days later so I could try out some more things and also remembered to take photos this time before gobbling it all up. I took a Maharashtrian friend this time and she was so appreciative of the authentic flavors! It'll be hard to resist but I'm going to try not visiting this place three times in less than a week. Lol. Excellent food and very hospitable service. We got a variety of different things: their pani puri is the crispiest, most flavorful I have ever had. Also highly recommend the misal pav and fish curry. Wash it all down with the absolutely delicious Kokam sherbet. We'll be going back to try out more things. The chef/owner is very kind and generous in the portion sizes. The ambience is also great for being in a parking lot. There's a tent to protect you from the elements. A must-visit! read more

We recently were in Cupertino for a family wedding. We got in touch with Paul from Maya kitchen to help us with the catering services for all the three events. I do not have enough words to say how wonderful and flawless the whole experience was from getting Paul's help in figuring out the food choices to the setting up of the delicious food! The food was a hit with the wedding party! Paul went above and beyond for us to make sure we don't have to stress about the logistics, quality and variety of the food at all the three events. All the dishes specially the Vada pav, shalimar egg curry, chicken lollipop, mutton chops, paneer and chicken Frankie, chicken tikka masala were a hit!

Was looking for Indian food after I came back from Bombay because I missed it so much. The pani puri was so flavorful and refreshing and reminded me of the ones I had in India, except the puri here is a lot crispier! I also tried the soya chaap and the anda kheema pav. The soft bread was toasted and buttered to make it crispier, and it was super yummy. For drinks, I ordered their falooda, and while it was loaded with fillings, I found it too sweet and creamy for my liking and left half of it. The chai was good, but I think in general I prefer the really strong types like Irani chai. Their dishes look like not much, but it is very very filling! Definitely want to come back and try their other curries. read more
