I passed by this cart today and immediately, "Gluten Free" caught my eye. Being celiac, anything gluten free automatically does! While not everything sold here is gluten free, the super friendly attendant was more than happy to assure me that what I had chosen was both delicious and safe for me to eat! I got chicken tikka over biryani, and WOW! It was so good! I've had Seva, Saffron and Namaste in the area -- this cart rivals absolutely all of them! The rice was so good, seasoned perfectly, and the dish had the perfect amount of spice. After a great conversation about his travels to Mexico and the process he goes through to make all his dishes, I bid farewell to my new friend but it won't be the last time I go to him when I'm feeling the craving for some good Indian food! Highly recommended! read more

This Indian food cart is incredible! I don't often write reviews but my experience with Mysttik Masaala has been worth taking a moment to write about. 1. The food is always so fresh. The dishes are soooo tasty. I am so happy that they brought one of their carts to Astoria! I am seriously addicted. Everything they have is amazing. I have not had a dish I didn't really enjoy. For spicy lovers there's a little extra kick available for many of the dishes too and wow is it good. 2. The owner and the other employees are so incredibly friendly and nice! I mean seriously it is outstanding service always with a huge smile. You will be SO happy with your decision to try this cart. It's also so convenient, a block off the 30th ave train stop. 2 big thumbs up from me! read more

I stumbled upon one of Mysttik Masaala's Manhattan locations last Summer, and was incredibly happy to have found it. I make it a point to get food there wherever I'm in the area. The food is so good, restaurant-quality Indian food at a food truck, with plenty of vegetarian and vegan options, as spicy as you'd like it. It's a family-owned business, and each time I've been to the trucks, I've encountered the business' owner Yuvaraa chatting people up in the most charismatic way, really seems like a great guy. Needless to say, I was very happy so see a new truck open around the corner from my girlfriend's place in Astoria. Give it a shot! I highly reccommend it! read more

My partner and I just stumbled upon the food cart on 30th ave today. The owner, Yuva, greeted us warmly and shared with us that nearly everything in his cart was vegan/vegetarian! We had the batata vadas, which was out of this world delicious, and he even let us try a generous portion of his daily special of basmati rice, chickpea and spinach. It was all incredibly flavorful and we devoured the dish within minutes of getting home. Seriously some of the best Indian food in Astoria, served by one of the kindest and friendliest of owners. We will definitely be back, and highly recommend Mysttik to vegans, vegetarians, and Indian-food lovers alike! -N+L read more

Have always been made much happier after visiting this very special Indian food cart in midtown. The owner, Yuvaraaj, makes all of his dishes with a marked sense of genuine devotion and love to his calling - which is to prepare the MOST AWESOME vegan (and non-vegan) Indian dishes anywhere in Manhattan. I have never been disappointed with anything served by Yuvaraaj and Mysttik Masaala and all of their dishes are consistently prepared with mindfulness and righteous flavor! If you have never experienced these true culinary gifts - do yourself a favor and go! You will very quickly find that you will be a repeat customer!! read more

We had chickpeas, aloo gobi, and rice. The rice was amazing, containing turmeric maybe, with what I think was a neem leaf! Fantastic chickpeas! Tender, aromatic, with just a tinge of heat. The aloo gobi was excellent, with good size potato chunks, creamy sauce, cauliflower, and peas! The two of us scarfed it all up. And Mr. Thakkar could not have been more information or nicer. He answered questions and talked about his food while he served us. I look forward to stopping by again! read more

As a lover of Indian food, I can definitely say that Mysttik Masaala does not dissapoint. Every dish that I've eaten has been flavorful, authentic and delicious, making me want to come back for more everytime. No matter what you choose you can't go wrong. My favorite dish is their chicken tikka masala. However, if you aren't a meat eater they have several vegeterian options, that are just as delicious. Also don't forget to get a samosa or two, they're amazing. read more

Yuvaraaj is doing something really great here. He runs his business with integrity and great care for both his customers and the quality of his food. The food is fresh, flavorful, and delicious. I had the samosa chaat and two veggie dishes (may change daily); all were great and each dish equaled 2 meals (for me). S0 glad for his Astoria location (30th Ave and 32nd St) because Mysttik Masaala is now my go to dinner. read more

Every time I come to New York City, Mysttik Masaala is a MUST stop. The Samosas. The Biryani. The Curry. The Daal. The NAAN!!! It's so difficult to choose what to get each time. Yuvaraaj and his team are friendly, patient, and engaged with each customer. Rishi would be proud. Oh! And kudos on the beautiful cart designs... extra points for good branding and visual aesthetic. read more

I came across Mysttik Masaala by accident. I was looking for my usual food truck, couldn't find it, and decided to try Mysttik. That was a gift in disguise. The food at Mysttik is absolutely amazing. I've been going there for the past few days now, and I highly recommend it. Above all else, I recommend the chicken tikka masala, it is absolutely fantastic. read more

My roommate and I were on our way home and wanted to get some early dinner and decided to give Mysttik Masaala a try. Can I just tell you that the service was amazing!!! The cook was friendly, funny and kind. The food was out of this world good!! Def going back for more very soon! If you haven't tried Mysttik Masaala yet you must!! read more

Wonderful! I have only tried one dish but it was delicious and the service is just great. The owner is really kind and funny. We came one night rather late and he was unfortunately out of vegetarian options, you could see that he was truly sorry about that and the day after he remembered me and added a little extra in my dish :). read more

I stumbled upon this gem near Ditmars. I got the vegetarian platter/combo with basmati rice and it was delicious! Perfect balance of spice, especially with the onions, cilantro and hot sauce. And it was only 10 bucks and I got a free Naan too. Too bad they are quite a walk away from my apartment but I will definitely be back. read more

I happened to pass by this truck, and stopped to get some lunch. It was absolutely delicious, the owner Yuvi is super friendly and made me feel at home. The food tasted like a home cooked Indian meal should taste, and was not greasy like in many Indian restaurants. I will be visiting Mysttik Masala, very soon and often. read more

Haven't had Indian food in a long time. Was debating between tacos and this food truck..I had to try this one out since it looks promising. Met the owner there and he was really friendly. Told me to yelp them and give an honest opinion about their food. Well. It's 5/5 :). I got the Chicken Paleo. So good! read more

This place is absolutely outstanding. As good as it gets in New York, completely authentic with a real classic taste from the subcontinent. And Yuvaraaj is a really nice guy and will accommodate your taste if you want any variations in the food. Count me as a fan who is going to be eating here a lot read more

This is the best Indian food in New York City. I've had both non- and vegetarian options here and they were equally delicious. They're always friendly and fast, and the food is consistent, which all New Yorkers know is important! I'll definitely be back for lunch next week! read more

Fabulous tasting food, authentic & flavorful ! We tried the Samosa Chaat, and the Vegetarian Platter - both were delectable, and we enjoyed every bite. Eager to try every other possible offering they have in future, because we're sure to enjoy them just as much ! read more

Best mango lassi in town -- silky smooth, cool, and not too sweet. Combine it with the crispy fried vegetable pakora for a great lunch or afternoon snack. Say hi to Yuva while you're there -- hands down the nicest food cart owner on this side of the East River. read more
