The two brothers who own this place are top notch humans.
Tried all the samosas and all the sauces. Uniformly excellent. We ordered a second mango lassi because… damn!
The scores at this place are totally earned. Come once, come often.

It's a joy to learn another culture through story & food; Mona's Samosas is a fantastic Pakistani food truck that shares its soul with each bite, drunken or otherwise.
Mona’s (a portmanteau of the parents names’ first syllables) has a small menu of traditional offerings, from samosas, patties, parata rolls, and chutneys. The truck is helmed by Momma Mona but her twin sons run the operations and have crafted the recipes.
I tried several items and it is absolutely ridiculous how delicious everything was. The samasos of potato (papa) were expertly crafted and reminded me of flautas de papa when they are done right. Crispy, flavorful, and “light” … just perfect. The parata rolls, made from an egg based recipe, was expertly crafted; the shami kabab was filled with beef. Paired with the mint chutney, it was a great balance.
The sauces were on point and varied in heat level, but nothing excessive. Sameer (sp?) explained that the sauces are a bit on the milder side to accomodate the taste palate but the spiciest version had some punch.
Last but not least was the beef patty which was a stellar, absolutely phenomenal flaky pastry with their signature shredded spicy chicken. It rivaled some of the best bakery offerings I’ve had, the flakiness left me laughing out loud from the quality.
Whenever I venture into another culture’s cuisine, I can certainly tell if I like it or not, but not how rooted the dishes are. I appreciated Sameer’s discussion of his families food; his mom has been in the industry for years and finally decided to venture out with her twin sons. I’m glad they did.
The craziest realization was that there was likely so many drunk patrons who stumble out of Shangrila at 2:10AM likely have no idea they had some of the best Pakistani food you can find.
*Shout out to Joe from Taano Beverages for the rec; he’s neighbors with Mona’s. Always lovely to see small business genuinely support other small businesses.
Every bite was a hit — the samosas were perfectly crispy, the rolls were packed with flavor, and the patties were fresh, flaky, and downright addictive. You can truly taste the care and authenticity in the food.
Huge shoutout to Shaheer for the warm, attentive service — friendly, welcoming, and genuinely passionate about making sure customers have a great experience. And major compliments to Chef Naheed for such consistently delicious food. This place is a gem, and we’ll definitely be back for more!

excellent food! Rich flavors. Pakoras and the chicken tika paratha were our favorites. Sauces are great especially the chutney
The aloo parantha was excellent! Definitely the best I've had in Austin. Samosas were also good even if they weren't the usual style you find in most places here. The owners were very friendly and considerate too, so definitely recommend stopping by!

Came here on a Sunday night around 8. Tried each of their samosas, the chicken tikka paratha roll and the shami kebab roll. All of the items were tasty and fresh. The owner was friendly and the service was exceptional. They said they make everything fresh everyday and that reflects on the food.
