The Mausam Curry N Bites truck is only about 3 months old, so we’re still working our way down the menu.

Chicken vindaloo and chicken curry were had on our 1st & 2nd visit, respectively. Time to mix things up and try a veggie dish this time. Indian cuisine is vegetarian-friendly, with plenty of options for the meat-averse.

It’s funny how your tastes change as you get older. Growing up, we hated spinach, but now we like it. Same thing with onions, mushrooms, coconut, and the latest formerly-despised food to cross over to our good side, beets.

But we digress. Lunch was palak paneer, also known as saag paneer. This spinach-based dish cost $8 by itself or $9 for the “Curry Rush”, a meal that comes with a side dish and a soda.

One of the newer food trucks around town is Mausam Curry N Bites. We tried them once before, and had a nice vindaloo.

Going back for an encore, we decided to get chicken curry, which cost $8.

Wanting to try an appetizer, we also got an order of vegetable somosas for $3. They have chicken samosas too.

We got a tip from a reader about a new Indian food truck that has popped up around town called Mausam Curry N Bites. Thank you Jim L. for sending us the tip.

Mausam means “seasons”, and their philosophy is “A variety of fresh food and spices for all tastes and seasons”.

Mausam started as a restaurant and banquet hall in Secaucus, NJ, and recently opened this food truck in NYC.

The menu has a large variety of curry, rice, meat and vegetable combinations, along with small bites including chaat, samosas and kati rolls.

If you want, Mausam has a build-your-own menu where you can mix and match different main courses and sauces, but that was too much thinking for our first time there.

We went with chicken vindaloo from the Curry Rush menu, which are complete meals including rice, side dish, chapati bread and soda for $9.
