Location: Smithe Street between Howe and Hornby (In front of the courthouses)
Type of Food: Indian
Sidekicks: K and Kristina (Secret sidekick also came but just to enjoy the sunshine)
Food Ordered:
K and Kristina- Butter Chicken
- 1/2 Lamb and 1/2 Hariali Chicken
There is a reason why this truck was voted number 1 by Global TV, Top Chef Canada Dale MacKay and MattBites.com. As we searched for the truck we smelled it before we reached it - it smelled delicious and we could only hope that our taste buds were equally delighted. Soho Road naan Kebab did not disappoint!
All of the staff seemed really knowledgeable about every dish. Their descriptions were mouth-watering and made me want to try everything! I finally decided on 1/2 Lamb and 1/2 Hariali. They just started half orders and may I say - stroke of genius!
If you like cilantro then the Hariali Chicken is for you. Originally put onto the menu as part of St. Patrick's day, this dish is cilantro chicken with cilantro yogurt wrapped in Naan packs a mean punch when it comes to taste. So rich in flavours that I wish I had 4 stomachs to enjoy at least a full one of these!
The Lamb Kebab was made with yogurt and tamarind wrapped in Naan. Something sweeter to complement the tastes in my Hariali. I also loved the flavour combinations in the lamb. I love lamb and will definitely be making a repeat trip to have another one of these delicious wraps.
The reviews on the Butter Chicken, enjoyed by K and Kristina, was that it was great, but would have been better with a little bit more spice. Also served in a Naan wrap I definitely want to try this and the Tandoori sometime soon!
Favourite Thing(s) About This Truck:
The flavour combinations that awakened my taste buds was a thrill that I will not soon forget! Also the service was incredible!
The staff was super friendly, knowledgeable and make me want to come back for more! I think that they were arguably the most knowledgeable that I have met on my journey to date. The other customers also seemed really friendly!
Accessibility: Handy if you are looking for something by the court house. A bit of a jaunt for us from the skytrain but not too bad on a sunny day! This location is also great for finding a nice quite place to eat lunch close to nature!
Green Rating: Nothing worthy of note here. Unfortunately, there wasn't any recycling for the food scraps (but I don't see there being any) or the napkins/paper bags they served the food in.
Warning: These were all so juicy we had to lean and eat by the bottom of our wraps- but it is definitely worth the effort! Enjoy!
Rumour has it that they will have a second truck or maybe they already do - it's not on the list yet though...I can't wait to try it!
Rating: 4.5/5
Value: 5/5
