Service is great.. very close to Downtown.. We tried Pav Bhaji it is just ok wish there was less turmaric in it. But Avocado chat & Samosa chats are top notch. We enjoyed the atmosphere and food.. will come back again and would highly recommend for everyone who likes chats.

Great food! We ordered pav bhaji special, avocado jhalmuri, and dahi Baraka poori. Good spice levels, tasty, fresh and a good amount of quantity. Our buzzer did not go off in the car and one of the employees was kind enough to find us and bring the food over!

Absolutely loved my experience at Pav Bhaji Express! The food was incredibly authentic, fresh, and the portion sizes were generous definitely great value for money. The avocado jhalmuri was an absolute standout. So flavorful and unique! And the thecha vada pav? Next level. It instantly took me back to Mumbai so good that I completely forgot to even take a picture (which says a lot!) If you’re a true foodie or craving authentic Mumbai street food, this place is a must-try. Highly recommend!

Coming from the Dallas area, where we’re spoiled with some of the best Indian food, I can honestly say this was among the best Indian meals I’ve had. The Pav Bhaji, Soya Chaap Biryani, and Vada Pav were all outstanding—packed with authentic flavor and perfectly prepared. Highly recommended!

If you’re craving Indian street food, this food truck is a must-visit! The pav bhaji was packed with flavor, perfectly spiced, and served with buttery toasted buns. Everything tasted fresh and authentic. Great food, friendly service, and a fun spot to grab a quick bite. I’ll definitely be back for more pav bhaji mango lasi in the future!

Amazing experience at Pavbhaji Express! The food was delicious and truly delivered an authentic Indian street food vibe right here in Austin. Starting the morning with Kadak Masala Chai and Bun Maska was perfect and refreshing. We also tried Vada Pav and Misal Pav—both were flavorful and perfectly spiced. If you’re craving real Indian street food with authentic flavors, this place is a must-try. Highly recommended!

I absolutely adore this place. Since discovering this we’ve ordered in once too. I grew up in Mumbai/ Bombay and this tastes so much like food from my childhood. I can’t wait to take my mum here too. The lady at the counter was so sweet. Food was ready so quickly. The outdoor seating reminded me of dhaba style seating in India. And I think we went at a good time so we got seating easily. Been raving about this place to everyone I know!
