My sis raved about this food truck so of course , I was fired up to try them. I ordered the…read morecrawfish nachos. The portion size was huge for the price. The nachos were just okay to me , nothing special. I was expecting a tastebud explosion but it never happened. Personally, there was way too much cheese and not enough crawfish. The cheese / crawfish ratio was extremely off. I couldn't eat them all. I also had a small strawberry lemonade/ pineapple sno cone. The sno cone was extremely refreshing and the perfect size. I would definitely order again. My sister had the shrimp nachos and she said they were just okay . Nothing special but she really loved the crawfish nachos she previously had at another event. The service was relatively fast considering we were at pepper place market on a Saturday morning.

The menu has classic New Orleans dishes such as jambalaya, red beans and rice, gumbo, and étouffée. The menu also offers unexpected variety with the option for shrimp nachos. I tried the powdered beignets, crawfish étouffée, and strawberry snoball. My food was ready quickly, which I appreciated! The snoball was very refreshing. The beignets reminded me of Cafe du Monde. So they are a definite must-try !!!! The crawfish étouffée was delicious but could have been a little more spicy. If you see this this food truck definitely get in line and try something. Next time I will definitely be getting a bowl of seafood gumbo. #BirminghamEats #Farmersmarket #SaturdayMarket

Pizits Food Hall has always been a great spot for affordable, diverse food options. I've been to…read morethis stall a few times, and everything I've ordered has always been great! What we ordered: Chicken Tikka Masala Rice Bowl- Rice, chicken tikka, kachumber (tomatoes and cucumbers), and a side of raita (yogurt dip/dressing) Chicken Tikka Malasa Salad Bowl- Mixed green, chicken tikka, sauteed bell peppers and onions, and a side of raita (yogurt dip/dressing) These were fairly large portions, you get your money's worth! These were both super filling and flavorful. Naan- 10/10; This was just plain, buttered naan but it was incredible. This was my favorite of the two breads that we ordered. Paratha- I've had better paratha before but this one was still really good! The food came out in just a few minutes, fresh and hot! It made for such a great, inexpensive lunch.

It had some type of breading and there was a weird red color between the breading and "fish". It took me hours to get the unpleasant taste out of my mouth. The sauce and rice had no flavor. All I tasted was the disgusting "fish". I won't be back.

The sauce was luscious and velvety, even if it showed up tonight with a mild personality. I kept waiting for the heat to clock in for its shift, but apparently it had PTO approved. Still delicious though. The vegetable samosas were crispy on the outside with that delicate, comforting filling inside. No notes. Just solid. And the garlic naan? Dangerous. I told myself "just one more bite" at least seven times. It's garlicky, soft, and basically a carb trap I willingly fall into every visit. Now... the service. Let's just say if attentiveness were a spice, it was left in the kitchen. Our waitress vanished for extended periods like she was filming a documentary about the back of the restaurant. No check-in, no "how is everything," no interest in whether we were thrilled or quietly combusting. It felt less like dining and more like self-guided Indian cuisine. Food: still outstanding. Service: spiritually elsewhere. Four stars because the kitchen deserves it. The front of house might need a little masala of its own.

Bawarchi is my go-to Indian restaurant in Hoover. They offer a great selection of traditional…read moreIndian dishes, and on weekends they sometimes feature special, authentic items that aren't always available. My favorite appetizers are the Chicken 65 and the Vegetarian Samosas. The Chicken 65 consists of bite-sized pieces of chicken breast that are fried and then tossed in a spicy sauce. It's served with chopped red onion and a cilantro garnish, making it perfect for sharing at the table. The Vegetarian Samosas are deep-fried pastries filled with green peas, potatoes, and Indian spices, with a noticeable curry flavor. They're served with a brown, tamarind-based dipping sauce that pairs perfectly with the filling. One entrée we love sharing is the dosa. A dosa is a lightly fried crepe, and there are about a dozen variations, each with different fillings and spice combinations. The dosas are served with several sides for dipping or eating with pieces of the crepe. The Tandoori Chicken Tikka Kebab is another favorite. The chicken is marinated, baked in a clay oven, and brought out steaming hot on a sizzling platter. In addition to the dishes mentioned, Bawarchi offers many other classic Indian favorites. One word of warning: if you order spicy, they mean it--the heat level can definitely light you up!

So when my mom told me that she wanted to throw my dad a surprise 70th birthday party and was looking to get some ribs and chicken catered, I knew that they would love their food as well. So we ordered four slabs of ribs and a full pan of smoked wings. EVERYONE at the party loved them! The Friday afternoon before the party that evening, I went to their brick and mortar location, and it is in such a great location! Very nice and the owner is great! He's nice and personable every single time we see him and very helpful. I would recommend him again and again. They also will deliver your catering over a certain dollar amount which is great! I'm not huge on pork anymore, but when I tell you, these ribs are so tender and so good! You will NOT be disappointed.

Kuntri Kitchen food truck was set up outside St. Vincent's Birmingham today. The scent that hit my…read morenose was heavenly as I approached. A menu board sitting in front of the truck had their menu for today. They had BBQ pork sandwiches, pork plates, rib plates, bbq nachos, wings, roasted corn, bbq beans, pineapple lemonade, and more. The service here was fast and friendly. The prices are about what you would expect for bbq. I got the bbq pork sandwich for $9, the rib plate with two sides -roasted corn and beans- for $18, and a pineapple lemonade for $4. Two people for $36. The amount of food you get is very generous. The bbq pork sandwich was pretty basic, just pork and sauce, but it was huge. Pork and sauce poured over the bun to fill the biggest portion of the to go plate. The meat was tender and juicy and is somewhere between pulled and chopped. The bbq sauce isn't overly sweet and has a spicy kick. It's not a hot sauce but if you are sensitive to heat, you may want to choose something else. There is a bit of after burn. My mom couldn't eat it due to an extreme aversion to spice but I had it later for dinner and I enjoyed it very much. The real star for me was the rib plate. These ribs were huge, tender, and moist, with just enough bite to keep them from falling off the bone. They are rubbed with spices and you have the option of bbq sauce, which I got. Get plenty of napkins because you will need them. These are some of the best ribs I've had in a while. I wanted to suck the bones. My sides were roasted corn and baked beans. Both of these had a little kick of heat to them, so once again, if you can't stand spice look out. Both side items were delicious. Let's talk about the pineapple lemonade. When I saw it was $4, I almost skipped it, but am I ever glad I didn't! This lemonade is so refreshing, sweet, and smooth I could have happily finished off a gallon or more. It's very sweet and there is little tang. It was so worth it. If you see this truck, get over there quick, you don't want to miss out.

I stopped by Roebuck Plaza which has been a hotspot for food trucks lately. There were several…read moretrucks out with a variety of foods. We decided to give this one a try. My husband and I went with the chicken pineapple bowl and the hibachi shrimp reg bowl. The meats are cooked to order and usually served with your choice of noodles, rice, or both. Today they were out of noodles. The meat is tossed in a teriyaki sauce and served over fried rice. The pineapple is completely hollowed out and a few pieces are served on the side. The pineapple bowl also comes with grilled veggies (carrots, broccoli, zucchini, squash). The regular bowl came with several shrimp on top. Bowls come with choice of yum yum sauce and/or teriyaki sauce. We enjoyed both bowls. Would definitely try them again.

I was sooo excited to try Rickshaw! I'd been following them on Instagram for a while and was…read morepleasantly surprised when they pulled up at a coffee shop I was working at for the day. The truck looks great and had different trinkets on the counter for added decor. They also had a sign out that listed their menu for the day. I went with the pork belly sandwich and the loaded potstickers. The sandwich had lots of flavor and I appreciated the fresh slaw, which added good texture. The bread to ingredient ratio was also good, I didn't need to pick off any extra bread that was just in the way. The postickers were also yummy. They were piping hot so I feel like I got a prime experience of all the flavors coming together. I only waited about ten minutes for my order and the Rickshaw team was super friendly and checked to see if I was enjoying the meal and needed a to-go box (which I did...yay leftovers!). This was a fun and tasty introduction to even more Asian cuisine around Birmingham.
