Tasty. Good for Kauai but in comparison to places I’ve been on the mainland, not great. Naan tasted like it was defrosted prepackaged naan from Aldi.

Wasn’t expecting much from an Indian food truck in Kauai but honestly not bad…

Good food!
Food is okay but not great. Prices are very high. Got cheated on order and didn't notice till we got home.

Loved the shrimp vindaloo in the beautiful rainy backgrounds of Kauai.

Great place to try authentic Indian food! I ordered the coconut shrimp curry, and it was really delicious, nicely spiced and full of flavor. I got it medium, and honestly, it was still pretty spicy. I usually eat and enjoy spicy food, but this had some serious heat, so I probably wouldn’t recommend going “hot” unless you’re very confident.
The service and atmosphere were both on point. Even though it was busy, our order came out pretty quickly, which was impresive.
Highly recommend!

Kauai is basically food trucks everywhere, so we had to try at least one Indian spot.
We stopped at Healthy Taste of India on Saturday around 5:40pm. I ordered the Chicken Tikka Masala and an organic lemonade. Total was $29 which honestly felt a little steep for a food truck… but that’s Kauai.
Good news: the food was actually really good.
The tikka masala had that creamy, warm spice thing going on (not watery at all), and the chicken was soft and cooked right, not dry. I kept scooping extra sauce into the rice and yeah… I was quiet for like 5 minutes just eating. That’s always a good sign.
The lemonade was also solid — light, refreshing, not crazy sweet. Perfect after being out all day.
Only small downside: if you plan to eat there, take it to-go instead. We tried eating it “inside” and the plate setup was kinda awkward. Not a big deal, just annoying when you’re trying to eat curry without making a mess.
Would I come back? Yeah.
If you want something different from the usual Kauai plates, this one’s worth it.

Phenomenal Fish curry (Ono and their curry are made for each other). Wonderful palak chana. Chicken tikka is sweeter than expected.

Undoubtedly, food was sooo delicious. I never expected we would get Indian food so good in Kauai. We ordered Shrimp Vindaloo, Chana Palak and Chicken Tikka Masala. All were soo good and authentic.

Food is very good. Made fresh. Tasty. Service is very good. Highly recommend if you are near Princeville or even if you have to drive a bit.
Make sure you have cash. They only accept cash. Also try to get there soon.
