    SPECTACULAR!!! I was shocked at how good the chicken tikka tacos were. There's a bit of a kick but it's not overpowering. I really want to know what's in the sauce because it's really bright and zesty. It interacts well with the chicken, making this a great dish for those wanting to eat Indian fusion! Also...do try the chai tea. It's made fresh :)

    Wow! What can I say? We stopped here as a recommendation from someone else and I have to say that the food delivers! The Birriq's Cousin (tacos) were amazing! I thought they were going to be crispy tacos but they weren't and I'm not upset about that. The flavor of the meat was incredible and it was stuffed with meat. Consume to dip it in was delicious. We also ordered the Birria Quesadillas and I have to say that was my favorite. The weight of the quesadillas cause of the amount of cheese and meat on it - woah! I also had the Thirsty Turban drink which wasn't something I've ever tasted before, it was limey but I can't put my finger on the other flavor.

    I wound up having fam in town so we decided to give this place a shot last week. We placed the order online for pick up and headed that way. The wait time had said it would take about 25 minutes. When we got there, we were told it would be about 30 more minutes (so basically an hour...) We ordered quite a few of their items: Burris's Cousin, Chicken Tikka Tacos, Chicken Tikka Quesadilla, Chicken Tikka Cheesesteak, The Thirtsy Turban, and the Iced Frappa Chai. The food was solid. Really enjoyed all of it, but the sauces they give need a little work. They give you ranch, franks hot, and generic green salsa from the grocery store. If they start making their own fresh sauces, that'll be a game changer.

    Took a to go order from The Urban Turban. Chicken Quesadilla was good, not a big fan of the tacos. Both had the same filling and taste. But what I wasn't a big fan of was the oil seeping through. Both the Quesadilla and Tacos were drenched with oil.

    After hearing about this spot online me and my boyfriend had to try it! We ended up ordering the birria quesadilla and the chicken tikka burrito through the ordering portal on yelp on our way here. That ended up working out very well and our food was done within a couple minutes after arriving. Both items were super good and had so much flavor and fresh ingredients! Only wish was that the burrito was bigger. It looked like a much better size in the pictures on the menu but it was still very good. Overall, I definitely recommend this cute little food truck!

    Wanted to try this place out due to seeing that viral foodie video! Tiny food truck with plenty of yummy food on the menu! The lime cream soda was sold out, so we got the rose soda instead and it was a very good replacement. Everything here is homemade and fresh! I will say you will have to wait a bit to get your order, so patience is key here. People ordered ahead of us had their food before ours...hence the 4 stars here. Didn't make sense, but again the food was worth waiting for and the guy thanked us for our patience in the end.

    Chicken Tikka Cheesesteak
    Shayer S.

    Honest opinion: The food was just okay. We had to wait for 40 minutes due to orders ahead of us. The expectation of a longer wait was set during ordering, and I appreciated the upfront communication. Additionally, I liked that they prepare everything fresh, choosing that over prepackaged options. However, in terms of whether it was worth it, I would have to say mostly no. Here's what we tried: 1. Turban Cheesesteak and Chicken Tikka Cheesesteak: The meat on both was good, but something was missing, and it felt dry. Cheesesteaks should be gooier and less dry. The description mentions white and red sauces, and visually, there seemed to be some white sauce. However, it probably needed more as it didnt really add anything to the taste, and I couldn't discern if there was any red sauce. For the beef one, the steak pieces should be smaller to allow the cheese and sauces to dig deeper into the meat to enhance the flavor. I appreciate the experimentation, but it doesn't make the best cheesesteaks list, so let's not overhype it. 2. Birri's cousin (beef tacos): This was pretty good, but the fennel taste was too strong. I plan to give them another try, but next time, I'll order ahead to enjoy the food in the comfort of home or somewhere indoors since there's no available heating outside. I highly recommend adding one or two patio heaters, as it would significantly improve the in-person dining experience. There were other food trucks with heaters but unfortunately, they were closed at this hour. I'm leaving it at 3 stars for now, hoping to rate higher next time.

    Finally got to try this place after seeing it on Instagram. Tried the shawarma, birria tacos, chicken tika tacos and the turban cheese steak. Everything was delicious.

    W O W for a food truck. My goodness, the reviews that say HIDDEN GEM are NOT lying. Located in / near Round Rock, this place is a MUST GO if you are in ATX. I was hesitant recommending this because of its limited menu, prices, and the fact that it was a food truck but MAN was I mistaken. We went on a Friday evening around 8:30pm and there was another party of 3 sitting at their limited number of tables right in front of the truck. Parking was relatively easy as there weren't too many patrons but it was a dirt road. My husband went to order the birria quesadilla ($14) for me & a chicken over rice platter for himself ($13). I would give the chicken over rice a solid 3 out of 5, but it really reminded me of The Halal Guys and that's just something too familiar w/ my taste buds. BUT, when I say the birria quesadilla was OUT OF THIS WORLD, I freaking mean it. The meat was beyond tender, the flavor was rambunctious, and the simplicity of the quesadilla makes me really wonder "why the hell didn't I ever think of this?" I would drive the TWO hours from my home to come to this establishment and I rave about the quesadilla more often than I'd like to admit. I'd knock off the review from 5 to 4 star because it was quite the wait for these two items (20+ minutes), but I just can't. I believe there were just two gentlemen working in the truck and my food came out piping hot...so it was absolutely fresh.

    The Urban Turban elevates the food truck experience to another level. The food is absolutely amazing, and made even better by the sauces! We had the Birria's Cousin Tacos, Tandoori Tacos, Turban Cheesesteak and Turban Quesadilla. All of them were top notch!

    The food is PHENOMENAL and so is the customer service! I can't wait to bring my friends here to experience this amazing fusion cuisine! 10/10! I had the Birria Quesadilla! It was the best quesadilla I've ever ever had!

    This is how fushion food should be! I got taco birria and Tikka over rice. Both are really good. They got some kick packed in them, so if you're not able to eat spicy food, this is not for you. But if you're willing to indulge into the realm of spice, go for it! I ordered online, but the came still fresh!

    The Pakistani and Mexican fusion tacos and quesadillas were fantastic. It was worth the drive.

    Cool hot chicken joint. Its crazy how they open til 3 am on the weekends!…read more Chicken tenders was solid- mild spice which was perfect for me. Their sauce was sweet but worked as a nice balance to the hot chicken tenders. Fries were well seasoned. I ordered a side of kale salad which was great but there was more cabbage than kale.

I knew better when I seen buddy put a sealed bag of cooked helotes in water to warm it, that this was 50/50 on good, but DAMN. The chicken tenders, tasty. Juicy & not small. The plain is basically like eating a canes tender.. boring. The lemon pepper & bbq ones were a lil better but very light on the flavor. Like, very light. Mid at best. The sweet potato waffle fries, fkn trash! They HAD to have been warmed/prepped in a microwave bc there isnt a CRISP to be found. Soggy and undercooked. The white mac. Horrible. Bagged boiled noodles & 50 gallons of cheese sauce that has not a pinch of flavor. It was so gross. But the one that made me spit out my food & write this review was having to wring the grease outta my "Texas Toast". 1st of all why tf do you use toast to line the bottom of the chicken box & seal it up?? I rolled a tender into a piece of bread & took a bite & it was like a mouth of melted butter. I was immediately grossed out. I literally smashed & smooshed the toast, wringing it out & it was like a wet towel. Dripping w grease. That was it for me. This was a definite waste of money!! Idk how this place was so packed!!!!

    Every time our family wants to go out for Indian food, the name "Rock N Grill" always comes up…read more Unlike many Indian restaurants in Austin, it offers a wide variety of both North and South Indian cuisines. My husband and I visit regularly--almost every month. The restaurant is spacious and very clean. They serve food on Corelle dinnerware, which elevates the dining experience, and keep several water bottles on each table for convenience. In addition to the waitstaff, they use a food delivery robot, which adds a fun touch. Yesterday, we ordered the Chicken Tikka Kebab, Chole Bhature, and 10 pieces of Dahi Puri. The food arrived quickly, with the kebabs still sizzling on the plate. The spice level of the Tikka Kebab was spot on, and the Chole Bhature was delicious--even getting a stamp of approval from my husband! The Dahi Puris were so good that we couldn't stop eating until they were all gone. We highly recommend this spot.

It was fine because I was able to gauge the place and noticed a robot delivering some of the plates to the tables, I thought that was cool! I ordered a bunch of food because I was hungry, but I started with a cold soda which I asked a glass with ice 3 times to 2 different people, it took them about 20 minutes to get that for me. After I finished eating, I asked for boxes and the check. After 20 minutes of waiting for those. I approached the front desk and they gave me the boxes, still no bill 10 minutes later of me standing there, I was given the bill. I paid with Inkind so they asked to confirm payment but they never came back. At this point it was almost midnight and I've had it, so I paid and I left. The robot didn't deliver my food, the iPads with the menu were just for picking as you couldn't place an order directly from them ‍ The only reason why I gave them 2 stars is because the food was good and the portions were generous. I will NOT be coming back or recommending this place.
