Naan Stop DC

It is one of the best food served in all among the trucks, Seriously i love the food
Thank you osman you are one of the amazing guy i met you.

The food truck was very unimpressive and overpriced for the amount of food. The presentation was also very disappointing. Also, the signage said «Tasty Bites» but someone else said that Naan Stop is the same thing and I am 100% confident that they are the same thing after reading other reviews.
I got the spinach salad with pico de gallo and marinated chicken. This was just a handful of spinach, unevenly chopped onions/​tomatoes, and dry chicken packed into one corner. All for $ 10. If you have other options, definitely consider them.

I just ate food from here & has to write the review to stop others from going this horrible food truck.
Like others I wish I read reviews before ordering.
The menu made no sense so I asked the guy to make me Veggie option.
I ended up getting a bowl with white rice, paneer and some butter chicken sauce with some sort of salad on top.
All this for $ 10.
The food had no taste. There was not enough sauce to cover the rice. And both the rice & paneer seemed old (stale). Essentially it was like eating plain rice w some sauce on it.
I’m Indian & have had plenty of bad Indian food. But let me tell you this was one of the worst meals I’ve had ever.
It so unbearable to eat that I had no choice but to throw it out & go to another truck to get a veggie wrap.
Save your money & wasted calories.
Avoid this food truck.

First of all, a Truck named «naan stop» said they did not have naan… and I tried a veggie platter. It was not good at all. I asked for chickpeas and veggies… only to discover they forgot to give me chickpeas. The reason I’m giving 2 stars is because I went back and explained my issue and they gave me a full refund– so I used that to buy lunch somewhere else. At least they didn’t fight me on the refund.

I have never heard of Naan Stop before. I was at the Taste of Arlington yesterday, where they had a booth. I got really excited because I am 100% from Northern Indian (born and raised here, my parents are from there). My mom is the best Indian cook ever and can cook anything. Unfortunately, they are out of town and I saw that, had my American boyfriend with me who hasn’t met my parents yet (always going on and on about mom’s home cooking) so I decided it may be a good opportunity for him to try Indian food.
We got in the line which was probably about 30 people deep. About 15 minutes passed and I noticed we had not moved at all. Thinking we were in the wrong line, we asked the people in front of us. Nope. We were in the right line. Everyone is asking what’s going on, maybe they ran out of food, etc etc. We finally get to the front and I ordered a chicken and a lamb dish. While I’m waiting, the 2 guys serving are too busy dancing and singing to also service. Then their dog Chelsea barked once and they both had to walk over to make sure she was okay. This is probably why no one was getting served. The guy who was adding salad (aka just lettuce) asked me to hold on because he had to wait for the plate of chicken before he could add the salad.
It was about a total of 3 boths, but it’s a taste. Food isn’t bad, but definitely was not worth the $ 10 for 2 tickets, 30 minute line, or the show of watching them dance. Now seeing the reviews, I will never plan on visiting this food truck. There are plenty of restaurants around that would be happy to have my service when mom’s cooking isn’t available.

I had to write this review right away before I forgot I ever ate here.
I was pretty excited to see an Indian truck park in Ballston, but I wish I read some reviews before I made the snap call to eat there. I ordered butter chicken and a bag of samosas. There’s not much to say. Nothing was too bad, but everything was average at best. The samosas were small and mostly dough. The butter chicken was generic and almost flavorless. they give you a little completely undressed green salad too. No one wants to eat completely undressed salad.
And the nail in the coffin was biting into a very large whole seed of some kind. That’s just unacceptable. If you can’t eat it, don’t put it on a plate.
There’s way too many 4+ star food trucks in this area to spend it at someplace as forgettable as here.

The food from this truck is just plain bad. The Masala sauce looked and tasted like it came out of a jar of pasta sauce from the grocery store, the lamb was way overcooked, the chutney was tasteless, and you don’t get much for your money either.

Mixed bag, but let me preface by saying I have yet to find a good indian food truck. That said, in this day n age you only get one shot at breaking through, so you really can’t afford to have this many mishaps.
They didn’t have Naan, nor Paneer, nor Pakora. So i switched up my order entirely. They offered a mix of chicken and lamb as a substitute, 4 pieces total, which progressively went from unacceptable to decent in quality of meat. In the top left quadrant, there was a poor excuse for a salad; in the top right, a fulfilling … porridge. dish. The naan accompaniment was more like half a grocery pita.
On the plus side, the food tasted healthy (i.e. bland), which I prefer over heavy/​greasy/​salted foods. Give me a fresh base for sustenance and let me add as much of the modern flavor augmenters needed to make the dish palatable. Also, the rice was very well cooked and stored, a treat considering what most food trucks serve. These rarities in an over-msg’ed world get it 3 stars.
The samosas, however, were not very healthy, but guaranteed to satisfy that «fried dough» craving.
Small pointer to all food-​serving entities: If your main dishes are very granular or saucy by nature, don’t serve it up in a container with so many ridges. You’re just leaving money/​food on the table. Also, i’m glad their food was not served hot as their container is made of code-​6 plastic, which contains polystyrene.

Pretty terrible.
My naan was a half a pita. Looked NOTHING like what everyone else has in the pictures. I got lamb with rice and mild sauce. I didn’t know mild meant no flavor. Lamb was very tough with lots of gristle, whatever that side was was also flavorless, and half of the bagged spring mix in my box was starting to turn and there was a pool of darkish tan liquid at the bottom of the salad compartment. The only (semi) saving grace? The fresh red onions that added flavor to the dish. Just. Don’t.

Like the others I was seriously disappointed! I’ve been craving roti so I choose this place. The options look east enough, like a build your own meal. The chicken tikka is DRY, and bland the bed of mixed salad and onion are pointless. The sauces aren’t good either! Curry sauce taste like it came out a jar. I have half my meal left and I’m considering feeding it to the trash! Wish I would’ve read reviews before I tried this place!

Like a lot of other reviewers — I wished I checked the reviews before eating here (I’m trying to eat it right now).
There were two trucks parked outside my office front door (literally 25 feet away — this is important in a moment), and since I was craving some naan, I went over to the Naan Stop truck.
To start with — there wasn’t a sign as to what the menu options were. That should have been my first sign. Then, the guy taking the orders — didn’t know what was even ON the menu… this should have been my second sign.
The guy cooking — basically gave me the options — rice or naan. With chicken or lamb. And I got to pick between mild, medium or hot sauce. So I picked naan, lamb with hot sauce. I was the FIRST PERSON IN LINE.
As they were preparing my order, 2 others show up. The guy taking the orders had already forgotten the menu options (I’m a first time customer, and I already knew — and I was telling the others in line). As this is going on — they give me my order… which is NOT what I ordered. I got naan, chicken and they weren’t sure which sauce to give me. I corrected them, and they quickly fixed it… but it made me really worried about their ability to keep orders straight when the flood of people showed up.
I got my food — and immediately, I noticed that my box of food wasn’t hot. It was lukewarmish. At first, I thought that it was because it was so cold out… but keeping in mind that this truck is LITERALLY 25 feet away from my front door — food can’t get cold that fast… not even in the winter, right?
Well, I’m at my desk — and the naan is COLD. It’s warmer than my soda, but it’s colder than my gloveless hands. The «hot» sauce is not hot at all and to be honest, it tastes like something I can get from a bottle at Target (it’s also barely lukewarm). And my lamb is so tough that my fork can’t stab it. No, reallyl… my plastic fork can not penetrate into the lamb. I finally used my fingers and took a bite… and it’s so bland and tough (AND also COLD!)…it’s almost like jerky in how tough it is. Also with the meal there was a side of lentils. It’s so watery and bland that it’s actually pretty gross tasting.
I’m seriously disappointed because I was craving naan like nobody’s business, and I think this is the first time I’ve ever thrown away lamb. UGH. So hungry now. so so so hungry. :(

The taste of the food on this truck is terrible. If you’re remotely accustomed to Indian cuisine, you’ll realize you’ve been had after the first bite. The channa looks and tastes like Gerbers zucchini and pear mix, and the chicken «tikka masala» tastes like ketchup/​cumin purée. I was so disappointed, especially after being drawn to the truck’s inviting décor and menu. I can’t imagine this truck is owned by an Indian. And if so — dude!!!

The chicken tikka was dry, but the tikka masala sauce was spicy and delicious. I was also expecting a larger quantity for $ 10, but overall pretty decent. Props for a creative name!

Really wished I had checked in here BEFORE I ordered, instead of after I ordered. I saw that one star and I was like, oh boy, another bait food truck, in which they bait you with the fancy terms of «hormone free chicken, locally sourced ingredients, organic» but have poor quality meat, serve you quick, and charge up the arse for it. I didn’t think this truck deserved a paltry one star, it wasn’t super bad, the Vindaloo sauce was actually pretty flavorful, the bread wasn’t bad, but the chicken was very dry. What did this truck in is the price. $ 10 for a mid-​size sandwich wrap, a more fair price would be $ 6, but even then I would not get it. There’s plenty of decent Indian food around here, this sandwich was pretty plain and a huge ripoff compared to what you get from other Indian restaurants. The Khinoor Dhaba truck, for instance, tastes much better, more authentic, and you get 4x the food. Food wise, this truck may actually crack 3 stars, but the steep $ 10 price tag for what is just pieces of chicken, sauce, on a bread, is a huge ripoff. Stay away from this bait food truck!

This is one of the worst food trucks I’ve been to and I’ve tried most if not all of them.
First, they have no proper ordering system so the people waiting for food are in limbo. And for their limited menu they take forever to serve people (20min)
Second, the quality of the food is very poor. I got the paneer naan with tikka. The naan was no where near fresh, most likely it was store bought and reheated poorly. The paneer was flavorless and mildly burned. And the sauce which one would assume would go over the food was instead served on the side. The tikka sauce tasted like bland tomato sauce.
The price was also pretty high, nearly $ 11 with tax.
Given the other great indian food trucks around I suggest avoiding this one.

As the other reviewers mentioned, the food here is simply not good. As an avid food trucker eater, I definitely have my favorites, but every once in a while decide to try something new. Coming to Naan Stop was a huge mistake.
I went with chicken over rice, with tikka masla sauce and tamarind chutney. All I can say is, thank god for the chuntey! Usually, when you order chicken tikka masala, the chicken/​rice is swimming in the delicious sauce. In this case, the sauce was neither abundant nor delicious. Dousing everything in the chutney made the food barely palatable. There was no mention that my meal would be coming with a side salad and chickpeas. I was happy to have the chickpeas, but the salad was again, boring and bland. I can do without a few limp pieces of iceburg lettuce.
I learned my lesson. The next time my favorite food trucks aren’t around, I will probably just suck it up and go to Cosi or Potbelly. As much as I love to suport local businesses and contribute to the thriving food truck scene, we would all be better off without Naan Stop.

I was thoroughly unimpressed with this truck (apparently it was formerly Capital Kabobs —
). The descriptions on Food Truck Fiesta sounded pretty good, fresh, and flavorful — however, the execution was lacking.
You get your choice of base (basmatii rice, naan, roti, or salad), choice of sauce (spicy vindaloo, tikka masala, or makhani masala) and choice of chutney (habenero, cilantro-​mint, yogurt tomato, tamarind). There are also samosas and pakora offered as sides.
I opted to try a roti (2 rolls) with tikka masala, habenero chutney and a side of pakora. I was quickly informed they did not have pakora available (not sure why sign was not updated?). Food came out quickly but I was underwhelmed by the size of the two very small rolls with a meager amount of chicken; and confused by the two sides (see picture). For $ 11 dollars with a drink I was expecting more food but was hoping that the flavors would «make up» for the small portion.
Once I got back to my desk to eat, I got a closer look at my order. The roti rolls were not «dressed», they were simply filled with lettuce, red onion, and a perhaps 4 small pieces of chicken each. I tasted the two sides and realized that one was chickpeas (not bad but not ordered or listed anywhere on the menu as accompanying the dish) and the other was the «tikka masala» sauce.
The sauce, IMHO was terrible, it tasted like tomato sauce straight out of a can with spices added. The chutney I ordered was nowhere to be found, which was very disappointing as the wrap might have been improved by a touch of sweet chutney. The chicken looked ok but was also rather bland and somewhere between cold and room-​temperature.
As the old adage goes, «you never get a second chance at a first impression», and in this case my first impression was terrible. Poor menu descriptions with missing items, mediocre flavors, incorrect order, and overpriced. I doubt that I will return when there are many other options in the area which offer similar food with better flavor and a greater value — plus now I need to run out and get something else to snack on after my unsatisfying lunch.
