Naansense

My first visit and I’ll be back. It was late in service they were out of lots of things — including Naan, which made me a little sad. Still sad about that actually because there is some good sauce left at the bottom of my dish, begging to be swiped up with bread. Sorry little sauce, it’s not you, it’s me.
However, the saag paneer is really homey and the chana masala quite tasty. Word to the wise — they are not joking around with the chili chutney! I didn’t taste it before I threw a bunch on my food, mostly because it smelled nice and around here people seem to think that Sriracha is hot. Rookie mistake — the chutney is HOT but really flavorful and a little addicting. Still, I wished I had some raita to cool it down again.
For vegetarians I think they only had one main — the saag paneer but they had several vegetable sides (like that chana masala) if you got the Saag+rice+veg. Lunch came to about $ 10 with the extra chutney but now I’m full and my mouth is really happy.

I’m overall really impressed. Line was long but short wait time. I got the pork belly curry and it was absolutely amazing. Never had pork belly in curry before and the pork belly melted in my mouth. The right amount of kick to it. The garlic naan was very on point as well. Fluffy and had an amazing texture. I’m very impressed by this food truck and it’s great pricing as well. 6.50 for curry and rice and 2.75 for naan.

One of THE BEST food trucks in Seattle area. I love the foodtruck scene here and there are some good ones but this one wins me over week after week. I have had Indian food all over the U.S. and their food is so fresh and tasty. Service is fast too. Top notch! I typically order the daily special (no rice) and the naan. This week it was a generous portion of tender chicken simmered in a goan coconut spicy curry. They have the classics too. YUM– can’t wait for them to return to the Eastside next week.

Wasn’t sure what I was hungry for for lunch, so I walked around skimming menus. I wasn’t sure if I wanted Indian food, but I saw that they had Pork Belly Curry on their special menu, and it sounded good. I went on my lunch pretty early, so there was no one in line. Ordered the Pork Belly Curry for $ 6.50 before tax and tip, which is a pretty decent price for a food truck. I went onto Unilocal to «check-​in,» and then my food was already done! Way quicker than I expected, don’t even know if i waited two full minutes, but then again, they were not busy at all at the time. The curry was better than I expected. It had good flavor and nice spices.

I love this food so much! I get the special everyday and usually it is something I haven’t had before and each time it is amazingly good.
I have lived in Seattle all my life and tried the highest rated Indian places around and for price I do not think anybody is even close to as good as Naansense.
If you really like spice, be sure to get their chili chutney too!

I’ve been seeing them across the street from my job site for weeks and finally tried the food today. Got the lamb meatballs with rice and garlic naan. The meatballs were perfectly seasoned and it had just the right amount of heat on it. The naan was perfect as well, took me back to being in the middle east. Great job!

As good as it gets. WOW. great flavors, amazing richness in the sauce. just like restaurant quality. small problem with usually taking 30 mins in line then another 20 mins to get your food. but otherwise it’s just awesome.

This is by far the best Indian food truck in Seattle and eastside.

They used to be great, but service is slow (waited an hour today) and my food was terrible. The naan was burnt to a crisp. They just don’t care.
So pissed.

Good Indian food truck with a clever name. I think the portion sizes are pretty good and the naan is great! Food is good, but pretty standard in my opinion. Good option for a quick lunch (though the line gets very long if you come during lunch rush hour!)

I was in the mood for a food truck in South Lake Union when I saw this truck. People walking away with giant naan. I had to try. Ordered the Palak Paner with rice and I chose my side veggie of Indian style kale and potatoes, one garlic naan (which is as large as two hand sizes) and a small cucumber raita. delicious. .hands down. The food was authentic, fresh, perfectly spiced and good sized portion. Felt like I was eating in someones home kitchen. WOW. The naan was soft and authentically made. I really was taken back. You can buy a combo or create your meal with sides. The portions are that generous. I am looking forward to trying more menu options. Thank you Naansense for keeping it real.

This food is just amazing. I moved to Seattle from a small southern town, and was looking forward to trying a lot of new cuisines, Indian among them. I’ve tried several brick and mortar Indian restaurants, some buffets, some chains, and honestly never been that impressed.
These guys, though. Wow. I work at a place that doesn’t handle gluten, so for the longest time I tried their food on my break, but without the naan. I didn’t think it could get much better. Then I tried it with the naan.
Suffice to say, they’re not only my favorite truck to get food from, but my favorite Indian food across the board. They’re reasonably priced, give you a bunch of food, and the quality is just outstanding.

I’m a carnivore. Maybe that’s why my experience is different from most others who have written reviews. I tried a sample of the lamb vindaloo, which I didn’t like at all. I ordered the butter chicken with the eggplant side and garlic naan.
The meat here, both the lamb and chicken, is super over cooked. It’s really dry and has no moisture due to being cooked for so long. The flavors of the vindaloo and butter chicken were both just ok. The garlic naan didn’t taste like garlic at all. It just tasted like plain naan.
Perhaps vegetarians would appreciate Naansense more. I will not be going back. Saffron Spice is much better in my opinion. The best Indian food I’ve tried in Seattle is no doubt Moti Mahal. Juiciest and most flavorful butter chicken ever.

Amazing food! Sadly the line is longggg. the naan is sooo good!

So ridiculously yummy. The garlic naan is fabulous and warm and fresh and pillowy… I also had the butter chicken and it was so flavorful. Be prepared for a long wait, but if you have the time, well worth it! Owners: I vote for paneer tikka masala being a standard item, please? Or a more frequent special!

So far, this is the best Indian truck food I have had in Seattle.
I am a vegetarian, so I can’t speak for meat dishes. I have tried Paneer Zalfrezi, Methi Eggplant and Cabbage Poriyal. Everything is pretty amazing. Especially, the naan they make is spectacular. The truck used to be at 8^th and Westlake twice a week and food is consistently good.
One advise — if you plan to have food here, visit as early as possible. 11.30 AM is a good time. Because, from 12 PM to 1 PM, you should expect a long wait time.

I look forward to monday’s and thursdays since I know the naansense truck will be at denny.
Restaurant quality food and food truck prices.

Make no mistake, the food is very good. On my most recent visit I had lamb curry with rice and vegetables, naan and raita. It was really tasty. But the bad thing is the pricing — with a 10% gratuity, that was $ 16.25. That’s way too much for a food-​truck lunch. That’s more than real restaurants charge for lunch. Yes, there was a cheaper chicken dish available.
I love their food. But the prices are ridiculous. Each thing you get adds to the total. Sure you can get just chicken curry for $ 6 or so. But if you get lamb, and get the extras, it adds up fast. The sit-​down Indian restaurant 4-​blocks away has an all-​you-​can-​eat buffet for half that price (not as good, but …). So unless I’m pressed for time, I’ll avoid NaanSense.
I love their food, but I don’t love their prices. And one more gripe — they don’t include the tax in their pricing, so you get the tax added as a little surprise at the end.
If their prices were reasonable, I would have given them 5-​stars, but at this price, they only get 3.

This food truck serves the best Indian food among all the places I have tried in Seattle. The food is not much spicy but has authentic Indian flavor. I usually get a fresh garlic Naan and one veggie for less than six bucks which is another plus. Only downside is that this has the longest queue among all the food trucks in Downtown. So it easily takes 15 mins to get to your order.

Hands down the best indian food truck in Seattle. Their chole is authentic punjaabi and their saag paneer tastes like the paneer was homemade. Naan is freshly baked and is so fresh and fluffy. Very efficient and quick service.
All dishes have to bought a la carte and are priced reasonably. For about $ 10 you will have a sumptuous tasty desi meal.
