chicken tikka rice plate @ Kasa Indian

This is the first of a blog series, Food Trucks. I finally tried Kasa Indian last Sunday at the (very small) North Beach farmer's market after seeing the purple truck for a couple times in the city. I last saw them during the Off-the-Grid one chilly Friday night.

I have high hopes for San Francisco's food truck scene, especially when they serve gourmet-ish fresh meals. Kasa Indian's chicken tikka masala is a bit of a pretentious Indian food. I can see the cardamon used in many Indian cuisines, but the authentic Indian taste is just not there. For $8 a rice plate served in a compostable take-out box, the food ain't worth that much. I'd rather go spend my dollars in hole-in-the-wall Indian restos, such as Shalimar, that serve cheaper and real Indian grub.
