    Chai

    My best friend and I got dinner here last Wednesday. We had been wanting to try this place for a couple months now and finally got to!!! The restaurant is pretty small but very vibrant and there is lots of greenery (fake greenery but greenery nonetheless). We didn't know what to get so the waiter recommended the sampler.. I don't really remember what it was called but there is a card on the table describing it. We also asked him where we should start once it came out and he gave us his recommendations on what to start with. We didn't quite listen though and dug into the chicken sandwiches at the bottom. They were so good!!! We ended up getting a second round of sandwiches. There was also a sweet and spicy chicken on the bottom and it was also very delicious!! The middle section had a lot of sauces, which we used for the sandwich, and samosas. I don't really like samosas but my best friend thoroughly enjoyed them. Then there were these balls of hollow dough that you would break a hole into and put the green sauce in then take one big bite. I ate two and then was done. Fun experience for that. Finally, we got to dessert. It was like a sweet Rangoon with like sweet cream/yogurt inside and a filling next to it with nuts and sauce. It was very yummy! I got more of that too! Fun experience if you like an experience while eating. They also had some others thing that I will go back to try.

    I was too geeked to come here! I saw this place on IG and saved it in my visit soon folder so when this came up I jumped all over it. So, when I arrived I was thrilled at the decor and just the amazing aromas that hits you as soon as you come in the door. We could choose where to sit, so I found myself sitting towards the back on the wall. As others came in, the seats started to fill up and the room began to feel lively. Alina was a great host and dope for the idea to have High Tea and invite us Yelpies into the experience. Once the food came out, I got excited as our table was the first to attack. The food was absolutely delicious....ALTHOUGH I feel like the panipuri had it out for me. It definitely gave you a kick in the back of your throat ... a good kick but nevertheless a kick lol. Made my eyes water just a tad. The butter chicken sliders....yea it got me too. I didn't realize I had a whole pepper in mine and bit into it and my mouth was suddenly on fire...lips and all. I stay warm for a least 15min. I'm not mad at it though. The slider was delicious. The mango lassi....ummm hmmm super tasty and delicious. I can't wait to come back and try other foods on the menu. It was a great experience and amazing food.

    The concept of this place is great. The decor and the whole vibe is very instagram esthetics. However as an Indian I was very disappointed with the food. They seem to cater more for individual that have no idea what Indian food is or I can say combining two cuisines together. During the time we went there was only one server and he was very friendly. We ordered: Chicken puff: 8/10 Pav vada: 4/10 (too spicy and to many extra sauces) Mango lassi 10/10 Butter chicken rice bowl 1/10 to many sauces (no concept) I wanted to try them out and I'm happy I did but this was more of a one time go to, I won't be going back. Parking is available

    I was excited to try this cafe as I'd seen beautiful photos on Instagram but sadly it was a disappointment. While the decor, nachos and chai were all decent, here's why I am rating it lower: - Discontinued menu items - to start out they handed each individual menu one by one after we asked for it as in the food, then drinks and then dessert menu. After ordering, the waiter came back and let us know the kashmiri chai had been discontinued while there was no indication of this on their menu. When we ordered dessert, he came back to our table and told us the entire back side of the dessert menu was discontinued. Are you kidding me?! If you don't make those drinks and dishes anymore, please remove from your menu. - Chipped glass chai cup - as my sister was drinking her chai she realized her glass was chipped and almost cut her lip on it. While the waiter did take it away, I'd appreciate if the cafe was more careful. A chipped glass is so dangerous! - Lastly, the falooda was missing key ingredients. It had no vermicelli or fruit like it showed in the picture and in the list of menu ingredients. I was really hoping for a nice experience at a Desi cafe especially since there's such a small number of these in Michigan. I hope they learn from their mistakes and serve their guests better in the future.

    High Chai

    The vibes of this place are super cute! I went with my friend and it was such a fun time - it wasn't busy luckily, so we were able to sit and enjoy for a few hours. We got the high chai option, which was all you can eat. It included chicken sandwiches, chili chicken, samosas, pani puri, and some desserts. The waiter was kind and didn't mind that we stayed so long. The set up was beautiful. I think people expect amazing Indian food but honestly it's a perfect place to have some basic snacks and tea. They also had some games you could play. I would definitely come back again with friends or as a date! Only minus one star because, while the seating totally matched the aesthetic, it was slightly uncomfortable. The seats are covered with fake grass and not super soft.

    Absolutely beautiful south-asian and middle eastern fusion restaurant. The decor itself should elicit a visit- it's that stunning. The details from the mini chai cups to water being served from clay jugs were such a nice touch to an already eclectic space. I went with a friend and ordered the high chai for 2. The spread did not disappoint, we were happy with the assortment of lamb samosas, butter chicken sliders, pani puri (with delicious curry chole), and assortment of desi style biscuits for our masala chai. We also had ras malai to finish it all off. For $30, you cannot beat the assortment of items. What blew our experience out of the water was the exceptional customer service. Mustafa was beyond attentive and answered every single question we threw at him. Additionally, he went above and beyond to cater to our special requests. I will definitely be returning!

    Friends and I made it out on a 10 degree day in January. This was the perfect place to go when it was freezing out. The restaurant is beautifully and brightly decorated, inspired by food trucks (which explains the name!) of the area. We were greeted right away. We ordered a pot of chai that was recommended to us, brought out on a brightly colored tray and pot. It was hot and milky, drank out of small glasses. I think Indian food is a shared meal, we ordered several dishes to share. We started with the lamb samosas, crispy outside, flavorful meat inside. Next the loaded fries, this was a fun take on the loaded fries. Then large plates of their Gobi dum Biryari and the "rice bowl" with the tandoori chicken. Lots of flavorful spices, the cauliflower had a bit of a kick, the rest was mild (unless you ask for a higher spice level). I do not think it was the best Indian food I've had in Metro Detroit, but very enjoyable and paired with the vibrant decor, was a great experience. Someone else mentioned poor service, we did not have any issues. At the end, someone came to other table to see how our experience was. They are newer, and worth a visit.

    Wonderful little hidden gem of a cafe and eatery. Vibrant decor and great art make for a great aesthetic. The service we received from our waiter was phenomenal. High tea service was lovely. But the food... the food was the main star. I think I could live off of the xxx bang bang shrimp forever. And the butter chicken tandoori pizza was life changing. So many fun and unique items to try. We also had the lamb sliders. Very savory with a delicious chutney.

    Everything was so good! We have never tried this type of cuisine and we enjoyed everything! V R and the other server were attentive and informative. It is also so cute in here! We will be back again!

    Kati Tacos
    Ann A.

    Overall enjoyed my visit to the Trucks Park (hosted by MedEx and Paradise). My party unintentionally end up ordering just from the Paradise menu. Items we ordered: - pani puri: overall very fresh and tasty, my only recommendation would be to make the flavored pani/water less thick like it's intended to be - veggie samosas: do not recommend ordering, very dry and the mint chutney was mid - loaded fries (with chicken): HIGHLY recommend, amazing!! - kati tacos with crispy chicken: flavors were good, but I expected the chicken to be a little crispier -- strong flavors for the perfect twist - chicken sliders: also flavorful, definitely worth trying - Kashmiri chai: just needs a hint of extra sugar, but great otherwise Service was good, everyone was welcoming and friendly. The decor itself it worth checking out. The entire menu is Halal!!! Overall rating 4 out of 5. The reason for this is because a "High Chai Time" is advertised from 5-7 pm. We arrived with plenty of time before 7 pm and they didn't honor it. Would love to try this High Chai Time next time I'm in town if they have the option.

    Fun and playful space. Food was decent, but the total experience was the reason to come back.

    Had a great time at the place. Food: the kati tacos and spring rolls were delicious! Service: We were served promptly with great recommendations by Vaishu. Very respectful and took time to go over the menu in detail. Ambiance: Excellent,we took lots of pictures and enjoyed the ambiance

    Carrot pie and a sweet donut. Both were very good.

    Cute spot, we had dessert and chai. The desserts were tasty. The presentation of everything was nice. They were short staff but yet very hospitable and attentive . Will be visiting again to try some of the other suggested menu items

    So dont take this as a negative review, My First review was…read more5 stars almost 5 years ago. I have been a fan of this restaurant for years, everywhere I went everyone I spoke to I always said wonderful things about the burgers here. So when I came back to Detroit visiting goodburger was first on the list and highly prioritized. Entered the restaurant, looked better and improved. Went to the counter, was greeted by the cashier, ordered burgers for my and my partner. Instead of fresh fountain I was given a can of diet soda even though their refills used to be free, didn't mind, sat down and started waiting for my food, the person who brought my food literally placed the tray on my table, mumbled few words in the mouth and left, no "enjoy the food" or "let me know if you need anything elsel". Mind you I paid 35 bucks for 2 burgers with 1 side of fries. I was not at the drive through of Mcdonalds. Anyways all of these things can be ignored if the food was upto the standard. The chicken piece inside the burger was over cooked, fries in the burger, pale and no flavor, bacon, smaller then a french fry, store bought cheese like it was slapped on top with zero love. I asked for mayo and it felt like they ran out of mayo and just took the last scoop and smacked it on my burger, kept looking for mayo, couldn't find it. The side of french fries was good. No sauces on the burger either. I am highly disappointed and I hope the management reads this and fixes these issues, as I would love to stay a regular customer and change my review back to 5 star. For now it's 1 star. By the way you can look at the pictures from my older order attached to this review

The food is thoughtful and complex, and unfortunately, that's just not for me. I can see why people enjoy it so much, though. Service was okay. Basically a teen at the register playing on her phone and a cook in the back. I wasn't really offered much of a greeting or an intro to the menu. It's a very limited menu as far as sandwiches are concerned (only six options.) I ordered The Superior minus kimchi with the spicy mayo on the side. I don't believe the menu mentions it, but the sandwich did come with a handful of fries. I took a seat in their cute dining area. It's decorated very nicely. It was a little chilly, though. I noticed a couple tables with trash on them that sat that way during my entire visit (all the while the cashier was on her phone.) Definitely room for improvement there. My sandwich was good; a little sweet for my liking. What I disliked was that there were tiny onions grilled with the steak, and those onions are not on the menu. I'd already wasted my lunch hour finding this spot, figuring out what to order and waiting for my food so I didn't bother saying anything or asking for a re-do. I just ate a few pieces of the steak and packed the rest up for my husband to have as leftovers. The quality of the steak was great and the fries were excellent. So, if you are all about limited menus and lots of ingredients, this might be the spot for you. It wasn't for me.

One guy seated at a booth on the phone and two ladies with their suitcase at another booth. Other than the 3 people, place was empty. Ordered carry out. crushed lentil bowl, chicken kafta, two sides: small hummus, small baba ghanouj, large fattoush salad with no pita. $38.13 Food takes about 15 minutes to be ready. Drove all the way back to the office. My chicken kafta looks to be lamb, not at all what I ordered. My large fattoush is covered in pita chips. Had to spend several minutes getting every pita chip out of the salad. It's good I am not allergic to gluten. They shove the dressing packet in the corner of the salad, so you get a bit less, that and the pita chips. Other than that, the salad was fine. I am quite disappointed the order is not right! The crushed lentil soup has a lot of rice in it, which is just filler to me. Has some clumps of something, may be rice and starch? It's too inconvenient to drive all the way back. Do be sure to check your carry out order before you leave the place. The crushed lentil is quite bland, not much flavor to it. Tastes some fennel, quite a few clumps of starch. The soup is more rice than lentil. I could count on one hand how many traces of lentil was in my bowl of soup. What in the world? My husband ate the lamb kafta, since I don't eat red meat. He said it was so-so, but rather dry.
