My friend and I were craving for delicious Indian food and after a quick Yelp search, we found this food truck and were excited to check it out. First off, parking was free and they have an open lot. We were surprised by the ambiance. It felt like a cute dhaba vibe with tables, chairs and string lights. We got dahi puri, sev puri, vada pav, poha. The chaats came out first. Both of them were delicious. The spice level was pretty high so if you can't handle spice, something to communicate to them while placing the order. The vada pav was fresh and tasty. It came with tamarind and green chutney. We liked the chaats so much that we also got the samosa chaat. The portion size was good and it was packed with flavor. Lastly, we got poha. It tasted authentic and the poha was soft and seasoned well. Overall, we had a great experience and I highly recommend checking out this food truck. You won't be disappointed! read more

I just moved to Santa Clara a week ago, and Mumbai Express has already become my go-to spot! I've been here three times in seven days and I'm on a mission to try their entire menu. Here's what I've tried so far, and every single dish has been a hit: * Masala Chai - warm, perfectly spiced, tastes like it's brewed with care * Masala Chaas - refreshing and tangy, exactly how it should be * Egg Bhurji Pav - soft, buttery pav with flavorful, perfectly spiced egg bhurji * Paneer Bhurji Pav - a great veg alternative, equally rich and satisfying * Kolhapuri Misal Pav - bold, spicy gravy with great depth of flavor, a standout * Paneer Tikka Wrap - smoky, well-marinated paneer with just the right amount of kick Everything tastes authentic, not a watered-down version made for the Bay Area -- this genuinely feels like Mumbai street food. The consistency across such a varied menu really says something about how well-run this truck is. If you're craving real Mumbai street food in the South Bay, stop scrolling and just go. I'll be back again soon to keep working through the rest of the menu! read more

***USP: Maharashtrian style chaat truck. They are in a tiny food truck pod which has two other trucks. They have a TV attached to the truck playing Bollywood style music and a small covered and heated area for sitting and enjoying the food. ***FOOD: they have meat and vegetarian options for chaat, sandwiches, wraps etc. We got misal pav, chicken sandwich, samosa chaat. I was disappointed by the misal pav. It had way too much of the overpowering spices which are typically used in garam masala. We are not the ones to leave food but we couldn't complete this dish. The kids got the chicken sandwich and the samosa chaat and they were happy with their dishes. read more

After multiple visits, I can confidently recommend Mumbai Express to anyone craving authentic Mumbai street food in the Bay Area. I first tried this place because I was seriously missing Mumbai-style flavors. On our first visit, we ordered vada pav, cutting chai, potato bhajji pav, and a chicken tikka sandwich. I was slightly disappointed with the vada pav--it lacked salt, and the outer layer was a bit too thick for my liking. However, the potato bhajji pav was pure delight--crispy, adequately stuffed, and absolutely satisfying. The dry chutney they add is incredibly tasty and truly takes the dish to the next level. The chicken tikka sandwich was good as well. On our second visit, we repeated a few favorites and also tried the Kolhapuri misal, which turned out to be the star of the day. It was very authentic, flavorful, and had that perfect spicy kick that instantly transported us back to Mumbai. On our third visit, we tried the spinach bhajji pav along with some of our previous favorites. It was slightly oily for my personal taste, but my husband thoroughly enjoyed it. Even though they are a food truck, they do have a small tent-style makeshift dining area with a few tables for customers. That said, I personally prefer taking the food to-go--I'm still getting used to (and comfortable with) the food truck culture here in the Bay Area. What stands out the most is that you can truly feel the chef's love for Mumbai in each and every dish. The flavors are nostalgic, comforting, and made with heart. 1000% recommended for anyone missing Mumbai street food or wanting to experience it for the first time. read more

We ordered just a samosa chat at this place. Loved it! First, they used yellow batani (yellow peas) instead of garbanzos exactly like the chaat I'm used to eating back home in Hyderabad. Haven't seen that here in the BayArea before. Nostalgic! Perfectly spicy and crispy samosas too. My only complaint was that it was served lukewarm! A big downer for me. Otherwise it is a 5-star. I will be coming back and asking to serve it hot read more

Love the Vada Pav at this place. Have been going here just for that. Rest of the stuff is . The Service here is good an ambience is good as well.

Pav bhaji is one of my all-time favorites so I was excited to try it at Mumbai Express food truck. Honestly, it was just okay! It didn't really taste like proper pav bhaji to me. The gravy felt more like it was loaded with garam masala and had a strong tomato heavy flavor rather than that balanced street-style taste you expect. For $12.99 I definitely feel like they could do better and stick closer to the authentic recipe. read more

If you're craving authentic Mumbai street food in the Bay Area, Mumbai Express is a hidden gem you need to try! I went all in and sampled quite a bit -- from classic Vada Pav and spicy Misal to comforting Pav Bhaji and crispy Sabudana Vada. Every dish reminded me of home -- bold flavors, generous portions, and that true street-style touch. Their Kolhapuri Misal was perfectly spiced, the Bombay Sandwich was fresh and filling, and the Amul Pav Bhaji was buttery and nostalgic. I also loved the Sai Amruttulya chai -- strong, flavorful, and just the right way to end the meal. Fast service, clean setup, and super satisfying food. It's my new go-to for quick, flavorful Indian street eats in Santa Clara. Highly recommend this place if you miss Mumbai's food read more

My honest review about Mumbai Express. I came here with family yesterday - July 6th 2026. We have ordered several items starting from Vada Pav, Sev puri, veg Pulav, Pav Bhai. All of the items very delicious but I really want to express my feelings here. I loved their vada Pav. It was one of the best vada Pav I have ate in America. 10 out 10 to Vada Pav. Team was amazing - I really wish them well. Nice people running small shop but making customers happy. I would definitely return to come back to this place if I ever come back to this area. Definitely worth it read more

I've been to this place a few times, and the food has usually been okay. However, after eating here last night, I came down with a bad case of Delhi belly. I also noticed wastewater flowing continuously from the truck onto the ground near the ordering area, and the smell was quite unpleasant. Based on that, I'm concerned that hygiene may be an issue. read more

I was at Madhu's Idiyappakada and noticed that this food truck has even more loyal customers, so decided to give it a try. And food here was really good. Chicken tikka wrap was probably my favorite. Vada pav and pani puri were excellent as well. I liked the veg fried rice as well. read more

We went here on a weekday evening, they have some tables outside where you can sit and have your meal, quite a decent setup. they have a kiosk to order so it was very easy to order we got vada paav which was really good 5/5, tasty vada and chutneys, size was great too Paav bhaji was decent 3/5 Magi lassi was also good We saw many people taking bhaji paav which we regretted not ordering , so will definitely go back for it later since that's our favorite thing from Mumbai. Highlight was that there is TV outside the food truck which was playing amazing 90s Bollywood songs and that added to our food truck experience. read more

Tasty food with a smiling service. Wait times can run long but that is demand in action.

Due to a longer wait for food from the adjacent food truck, we decided to give this place a try, and it turned out to be a good experience. The Mumbai express vada pav was pretty good. We also tried the sabudana vada, which was nice. Food was ready quickly. read more

If you want to experience the true taste of Mumbai, this street-side food truck is a must-try. The flavors are bold, fresh, and full of authentic Indian spices. From classic vada pav to spicy pav bhaji, misal pav, freshly made Poha every dish is cooked fresh and tastes just like Mumbai streets. I really love their kokum sharbat and masala chaas.... The food is affordable, comforting, and served with so much warmth. just honest food, quick service, and unforgettable flavors. Perfect for satisfying cravings and reliving Mumbai vibes in every bite. Highly recommended for anyone who loves real Indian street food! read more

Bought noodles for takeaway. It had a distinct fishy smell. It tasted more like Pad Thai than Indian style noodle. Almost inedible and pretty disappointing. If I wanted to have Pad Thai, I would have ordered directly from a Thai restaurant. Waste of food and money. read more

Excellent chaat focused food truck. Authentic flavors, good spices and reminded me of Mumbai food. I stumbled upon them by chance last week. Located in the parking lot of the Udupi restaurant with plenty of spots to park. They have a few tables to sit and eat if you want too. My favorites so far are the Pav Bhaji (fresh, good portion and tasty) and the masala Vada Pav ( good portion with green chilli and sauce). Service is quick, polite and kind. Will definitely return again soon to try out other items read more

First and foremost, for a food truck to be this good!! 5/5. The service is a bit slow but the wait is really worth it for the food. We ordered Amul cheese pav bhaji, veg noodles, pani puri, samosa chaat & misal pav, all of which were pretty tasty. The food truck also has a cozy little seating area under the tent. Definitely check it out. read more

We had pav Bhaji, mumbai sandwich and sukha bhel. Sorry to say but the pav bhaji didnt taste authentic at all and had a weird masala taste. The buns were dry and filled with chilli powder for some reason. We ordered the sukha bhel mild for my kid, but it came super spicy so they didnt not take the request into consideration. However, they did give a refund on that. The Mumbai sandwich was way too loaded with potato and beetroot and it had no taste at all. I would really suggest to improve the dishes and not sell mumbai dishes just for namesake. read more

Their Vada pav was good. Pav Bhaji was bang on average with huge potato pieces. They were not smashed properly. It seems the Pav Bhaji masala wasn't good enough and gave acid burns to almost everyone who ate it. The staff is friendly. read more

Tried the masala egg omelette pav today - 5 stars for service, 3 for taste. Felt like it was rushed - big pieces of onion, haldi, lack of salt and didn't have enough cohesiveness through sauces. It tasted like bread and omelette- nothing wrong with that, maybe I'm just picky :) loved the seating area and the fun Bollywood music videos. Wish them luck - will be back to try other things! read more

If you're looking for a taste of Mumbai right in your neighborhood, look no further than Mumbai Express by Amruta and Sandesh! We've been lucky enough to visit a few times, and each experience has been a culinary delight. The vada pav is an absolute must-try--perfectly spiced and served with amazing chutney that takes it to another level. The pav bhaji is a warm, comforting dish packed with flavors, and the buttery pav on the side is just the cherry on top. And let's not forget the chaat! It's a fantastic mix of textures and tastes, making it a fun, mouthwatering snack. also, the most amazing mango lassi. The atmosphere is always friendly, and the service is quick and welcoming. Amruta and Sandesh really know how to capture the essence of Mumbai street food in every dish. Highly recommend checking out Mumbai Express if you haven't already! You won't be disappointed! read more

Other street foods like bread pakora, paav bhaji. Veg and Non Veg Thalis are also amazing and must try it. They do have limited place to seat and enjoy food bt food is great and you can stand and enjoy food while watching TV which is installed on their truck. read more

Ok- this is NOT cool!! I do not like to write bad reviews unless something like this happens!!!! We found this food truck and the first time around loved the vada-pav and sabudana vada. So we ordered again last Saturday and my little picky eater chose the chicken tikka sandwich- which she was enjoying until a hair came in her mouth! Yuck! At this point she had eaten majority of the sandwich and looking at this strand of hair almost made us throw up! NOT COOL guys!! This was a major disappointment. Picture is attached. I am sorry but you need to up your hygiene standards!!!! I was tempted to call right away and post this review but it was late at night and we lost all appetite and spent time reassuring my daughter that she would be okay. read more

1 star given by a person on yelp seems to be paid review by competitors to malign the name of this food truck so beware! My experience with this food truck is below. I recently visited the Mumbai Express food truck and was blown away by the authentic Mumbai flavors. The Masala Vada Pav was crispy and perfectly spiced, bringing back memories of the streets of Mumbai. The Dahi Puri was a delightful mix of sweet, spicy, and tangy, while the Kolhapuri Misal packed a punch with its robust, spicy kick. The Kokam Sarbat was refreshing and balanced, perfect for cooling down after the spicy dishes. The rolls were stuffed with fresh ingredients and full of flavor. Even the tea was spot on, a comforting end to the meal. If you're craving true Mumbai street food, Mumbai Express is the place to go! read more
