    delicious food tried their lamb biriyani the person on the cart was very nice, friendly and listened to the details of my order carefully highly recommended street food for gyro, chicken over rice, or indian style biriyani if you are in or near philadelphia

    Very good food where things can be made vegan-tell them ‘no dairy’ for excellent chana masala (chickpeas) or if you are lucky they will have aloo gobi as a special. Nice people, good food!

    Found this from Google looking for Indian food close to Penn Med Hospital. Ordered the lamb biryani and it was outstanding. Made to order and he asked about how spicy I wanted it. Very friendly gentleman and it was only $8. A real bargain.

    Food and service was A1! This was my first time ordering from the truck after I had seen all of the great reviews. I had wanted to order multiple dishes but he was sold out so I just got the butter chicken and naan this time around (speaks to how good the food is!). I'll definitely be back and I'll call in ahead of time. Check him out you won't be disappointed! * this guy is definitely working hard out here especially in this 90 degree weather we had today!

    I bought 2 plates or Biryani today. Ordered online and they made it ready on time. Delicious food and very lovely people. Fresh food. You can park in front of the truck and get your order easily. I highly suggest you give it a try!

    Mohammed the owner is the nicest guy. Always make it a point to stop for his food whenever I'm in the area. The falafel is awesome and so is the chicken and lamb. I really haven't had a bad dish. He went out of his way to make a fresh batch of rice for us. He accepts all payment forms and even venmo. You can even call ahead and he'll have it ready for you. Great food truck and an even better owners

    This is my go to spot whenever I am on campus. If you have never eaten from this cart, you must try the spicy chicken biryani with white sauce. It is a much more filling meal compared to your typical halal chicken over rice platter, to the point where you will never become tired of it. Overall a very underrated cart and might even be considered a hidden gem. If you do not believe me, try it out. You will not regret it!

    I’ve been here twice since visiting Philly. The food is absolutely delicious. The gentleman there was extremely kind. The food truck is named after his son, He has a great variation of Indian Dishes. He makes everything fresh & is so nice. Whenever I come back to Philly, I will DEFINITELY visit this truck again.

    Great food, great prices, great quality. This is very fine Indian cuisine made with high quality ingredients and spices. I’m mostly impressed at how fast the guy cooks, so if you are on your lunch break like I am, it’s great. You can also call ahead and it’s ready when you walk up. Very convenient that they also take credit/debit cards and CashApp and Venmo. I’m a fiend for spice, so I appreciate that the guy doesn’t hold back on the spices for me. Honestly, some of the best Indian food I’ve had since I was in Tamil Nadu.

    Nafi food express is a must try! I got chicken tiki masala with naan! This is the second time I’ve been to his cart and will go again. Some of the best Indian food I’ve ever had. The spice level is perfect the chicken and gravy sauce is excellent! Thank you Nafi!
