Customer Review Summary
Diners most often single out Chicken 65, praised alongside the Beef Ghee Roast and pani puri as delicious. The mango lassi comes close behind, with one reviewer calling it great and a must try, and another describing it as a refreshing treat. Fresh, fluffy naan, a flavorful thali and a delicious dosa also earn mentions, and one reviewer found the chicken biryani good. Portions are repeatedly called generous or just right for sharing, and the staff are described as friendly and welcoming. One reviewer describes a catered anniversary lunch for 70 guests where dietary requirements were handled and guests were unanimous in their praise. Complaints are fewer but specific. One diner felt the chili paneer could have been better and the chickpeas in the punjabi chole were not soft enough. Others note a tight front service area, a cold interior, and an extra charge for a small portion of rice that they felt should come with the curry. The chana portion in the chana batura fell short, so one table ordered another chole as a main to match.

“TT catered for our Golden Wedding Anniversary Lunch for 70 guests recently. From the beginning, Jegan was extremely helpful in the planning of the menu and making sure that various dietary requirements of our guests were satisfied. He also made some excellent suggestions, which we incorporated. On the day, Jegan's team performed to our highest expectations in serving our guests in the way we wanted. They carried out tasks that were beyond what was expected of them. The food and service were excellent - our guests were unanimous in this. The price was very reasonable for the quality provided. We are also frequent diners at the Regent Street restaurant and also use their take away service. We would highly recommend TT for dining, take away, and catering services. Many thanks to Jegan and his team.”

“Tiffin Truck is an excellent place to experience Indian cuisine. We tried the thali, which was flavorful, well presented, and very satisfying. The dosa was also delicious. The restaurant has an elegant atmosphere with a charming North Indian style, and the staff are warm and welcoming. Definitely worth a visit.”
