Best 4 Indian Food Trucks In Melbourne and Sydney You Must Try
Before food trucks became a thing overseas, street food has been peddled along the streets of India on four-wheeled carts since time immemorial. Now a bunch of Indian-themed food trucks in Melbourne, Australia is giving authentic Indian food a new twist and making waves in the food industry. In this article, we profile four of them. Good food, Great People.
If Indian food is your thing (hey, we all have to admit that it’s pretty tasty), then you should have been at the Bollywood Food Truck Festival that happened at the Food Truck Park in Preston from July 22 to July 24 of this year. If you missed it, that’s all right; this year’s event was such a success that there most likely will be another one next year around the same time.
There is also a better Authentic Indian Restaurant in Melbourne or Sydney to experience traditional Indian cuisine. Their food is as delicious and spicy as if it were made in India itself.
Meanwhile, though, here is a list of Indian-themed food trucks that you must try out in preparation for the big event next year.
Delicious and Spicy Food Trucks in Melbourne
1. Yo India
They’ve been on the streets of Melbourne from 2014 under the cover of Big Cook Little Cook, but have since broken out and created their own Food Trucks in Melbourne. They can be seen around the suburbs of Melbourne even today. Geelong and Thornbury are their favorite jaunts, but they do cater to events and private parties, so the best way to track down these guys is to follow them on Facebook first, and then follow them around town, because their food is really classy.
