    Was craving Maggie and this place did not disappointment at all ! They had all the flavours of Maggie you can imagine. From old school days. We ordered Spicy masala maggie, kids maggie which came with Frooti and chips and simple bun maska chai. Everything was delicious. The service was quick. They have enough seating available in the campus outside their truck with games to play. Not crowded if you go at a reasonable time. Will definitely visit again to try other items.

    Ordered the ginger elainchi chai. A bit too strong for my liking but still good - 4/5. Spicy aloo sandwich was disappointing. Not spicy, and aloo wasn't much flavorful either. 2/5.

    Quick friendly service. Rainy day calls for some piping hot tea spiced beautifully and boiled just the right amount. Go here for your chai fix. Bonus points for letting me use my reusable mug. Remember to share your sugar preferences upfront! They had some covered seating for folks to enjoy their food, but I took my tea togo. Nothing like chai & driving in the rain.

    Ketli Chai is a cute food truck near San Tomas and el camino real intersection. It only has outdoor seating, so please go when it's not super windy, else you might need to sit in the car. It has two carom boards, jenga sets and playing cards and some string lights as well. Nice spot to hangout with friends at night. Chai was great, I had the Ketli chai which has saffron and cardomom and it tasted nice. I also tried the Ketli maggi. It was spicy for my taste, but was served piping hot and felt good on a windy day. Good blend of masala, maggi and veggies

    Bun Maska

    We decided to try out this place for an evening chai time. This food truck is near the main road on El Camino. We ordered one bun muska , one ginger chai, one ketli chai and one tandoori sev bun muska. We placed the order and was given a buzzer. Before the food arrived, we played some carom board and had meaningful conversations. The food took around 15 minutes to be ready. While the bun muska was really tasty , I think the chai can be improved especially cause they charge between $4-$5 for street food chai. We thought the price point was steep. We I'll be back for bun muska.

    I had seen this place on social media multiple times and finally got to try it!! They have a lot of options for maggi, sandwiches, chai, sweets and surprised they make all of it in a food truck!! We got the ketli maggi which was spicier than expected but very flavorful!! We also got the paneer tandoori sandwich which was yum and will definitely be coming back again just for that! We got the masala chai which was great, ginger chai which was definitely gingery and great for your throat, and hot chocolate which was nice and decadent!! We loved that they have games and open late so a great spot for snacks, I think better for snacks than a meal as the portions are smaller. Will be coming back for sure!

    This was our first visit on father's day... the kids love Maggie so went here. Masala Maggie was good.. $9 may seem overpriced but the taste was good. Tried Tandoori Paneer sandwich which was good. The Pani puri here is better than most of the places in southbay. Try "The ketli Coffee " if you are looking for that nostalgic indian coffee taste ( Note: Its pre sweetened ) Also tried the masala Thumbsup which is Jal jeera and masala added to thumbsup. Its okay not great. Note: On a windy day it could become a little uncomfortable to sit and eat in the open with young kids. Casual sitting ambiance with carrom board to play with friends and family. Inder and Jas ( owners) were nice to let us try some of the items and fun-to chat with

    Veggie cheese sandwich

    I had been waiting for so long to try this spot! finally had a chance this week and it did not disappoint. This place was hyped up so much on social media and it does live up to it! The bun maska was amazing!! I also tried the aloo bun and veggie cheese sandwich which were really good. I went with my mom and she takes a jain diet so they were able to customize the veg sandwich per jain diet restrictions which was really nice! The lady at the counter was very sweet and provided good recommendations to us as it was our first time trying this place. I would go back here again to try the maggi and chai!! :)

    Awesome experience today. Had ketli chai and ketli maggi - just the perfect sojourn on this cold rainy Thursday. It was the only food truck open in the area, so we tried it and I am glad we did! If I lived here, I'd be food truck hopping all the time to support our small businesses! :) Must try!

    Fun little place for a quick chai & snacks stop! We had their signature Ketli chai which had saffron & tasted sooo gooood! Elaichi ginger chai was pretty good too but I'd definitely skip their lemon ginger one cause it was just ginger pieces with lemon tea bag dipped in water :/ The highlight of our meal was definitely bun maska with sweet malai slathered in between the pieces, yummmyyy! Chaska bun had salted butter on both sides & tasted delicious when dipped with chai. They have ample parking, few tables & some fun games to play with while waiting for food - nice little spot for a fun evening with friends.

    Awesome Maggie & maska bun. I'm sold. Chai was ok. Sometimes simple goes a long way. Atleast you know there aren't too many ingredients.

    Unique food truck in Bay Area! This isn't just a food joint but it's an experience!…read more Vegetarian reviewer: To start with, I am not usually a big fan of too many eggs on my plate, but I thoroughly enjoyed their innovative creations. They have interesting dishes with paneer and chicken as well. We ordered two dishes- Leela lasun keema - This dish was intriguing, with cheese, grated egg, and a rich, spicy gravy. The portion size was generous; a single person won't be able to finish it with just three breads. It was very filling, we took back home the leftover and enjoyed it later with some rotis. They have another version of this- "kachu" with runny eggs instead of grated eggs.. well thought option! Volcano egg biryani- The dish is as interesting as its name suggests. The base is an omelette, and the rice is flavorful with bell peppers, finely chopped veggies, and aromatic spices. The center is with a tomato-based curry. The cheese on the side was amazing, and I loved it. The spicy guava drink is super refreshing with a playful mix of spice, salt, sourness, and the sweetness of guava. I really enjoyed it! They have music playing and the place is lit, creating a total vibe for spending time in the evening on a lazy weekend/ after work, or post-workout. The food is pure indulgence and covered our protein requirements with eggs, along with some fat to burn off. Kinda guilt free. Also, they have games, garba events and other many interesting things going on at different times. Superb vibes, never disappoints! Conveniently located in Sunnyvale - easy to find parking. Ask the owners for their recommendations based on your preferences. They are very nice to talk to and are super passionate about this truck, having brought something they loved from New York to the Bay Area.

    Tasty flavors, unique textures. The paneer sandwich is very good, masala omelette was full of…read moreflavor. The leela lasun kheema was delicious but had a slightly bitter aftertaste, probably from the loads of garlic. Overall, solid spot, will definitely come back. The service was friendly and fairly quick. The eating area is casual and clean.
