The garlic naan is the best we recall ever having. The lamb korma and aloo gobbi were excellent, and the fish pakora was really nice and just lightly battered unlike the over battered pakora that we usually encounter elsewhere. We will definitely be back whenever we are in the area. This place is a gem!

We kicked things off with the Chicken Samosa with Chaat and--OMG--mind-blowing. It was easily the best I've ever had; if I were forced to pick a favorite from the night, this would be it. We followed that up by splitting the Butter Chicken Fries (pure heaven), the Meat Combo Plate (absolutely packed with flavor), and some perfect Garlic Naan. Honestly, every single bite was a 10/10. To wash it all down, they have a fantastic beer selection with five IPAs on tap. We shared a Reuben's Brews IPA, which was the perfect crisp pairing for the spices. What really made the night, though, was the vibe. Everyone there was so incredibly nice. Our waitress/bartender was so kind and helpful, and even the chef came out to chat with us! It's rare to find that level of hospitality paired with such incredible food. What a wonderful experience!

I had a wonderful meal there--and was promptly served by my delightful, helpful server…read more The chicken samosas were very nice--the sauce, almost perfume-like (in a nice way!) I don't know which was my favorite: the absolutely silken, delicious Butter Chicken or the prawns. I am kicking myself because I don't know which prawn preparation, but it was recommended by our server and it was fantastic. The prawns were fat and juicy and perfectly cooked and, frankly, I would love them in any of their sauces. The one recommended to us was divine. For my beverage, I tried the lassi--a totally new experience for me. I was forewarned it was a salty flavor. I am not sure I would order one again due to my taste preferences, but I would say the preparation in this restaurant was probably as perfect a one as can be. So if you like lassi or want to try it, I would wholly recommend this one.

On a recent sunny Bham afternoon I happened upon a beautiful, brand new, bright green food truck at…read moreWander Brewing. Being somewhat of an aficionado of the local FT scene, I was surprised that I hadn't heard of this one yet: Mix Masala. Featuring a small-but-mighty menu of classic Indian dishes - like butter chicken, saag panner, pakoras and naan - the smells emanating from this truck were phenomenal. When I saw they had my fave, chicken tikka masala, on the menu I knew I had to order. The owners/staff were so incredibly helpful and friendly (they even said it was okay to take ten billion photos of their truck for my archives), and soon my steaming bowl of tasty goodness arrived while I enjoyed my Wander brew in the beer garden. The tikka masala was perfectly spiced, and the chicken was tender and plentiful. Served with a generous helping of basmati, and including a side of (just one) piece of naan, it satisfied my craving for Indian food and paired surprisingly well with my Uncommon California Common. The tikka sauce was a bit salty for my liking, but not enough to keep me from devouring most of it and taking the rest home to devour later. I'll definitely be looking for this truck again!

Once they were open I ordered pakora as an appetizer and a tikka masala for my main course. The pakora was fantastic. The tikka masala was good. In hindsight I wish I'd ordered saag paneer or chana dal instead, but that will be next time. The owners were friendly and helpful, and when I was told the food would be ready in 6 minutes, they impressed me by having it ready in about 5 minutes and 45 seconds. I will happily buy food from Mix Masala again.

Disappointing Experience at Indian Food Truck…read more I ordered the Chicken Tikka Masala from this food truck and was disappointed on multiple fronts. The wait was unusually long--long enough that several customers questioned the delay. When the food finally arrived, it came in a small takeout bowl priced at $17.95. The portion was mostly salad, with very little rice or chicken. The chicken lacked any real flavor, and the sauce was thin and watery--far from the rich, spiced curry typical of a tikka masala. Having tried Indian food in many places, this was by far the worst I've had. Poor flavor, small portions, and an unreasonable price made for a meal I wouldn't return for.
