Meals On Wheels? Grab A Bite At These Food Trucks In Namma Chennai

Technically the first food truck in the city, Karam was started by Karthik Kannan who quit his F&B job to start this venture. The menu features Chinese and South Indian dishes at affordable prices and everything about the food and the service is clean and uncomplicated. Head to Velachery to check out the truck and sample their specialties. We’d recommend starting with the momos and working your way through to the Fish Burji and still come away having spent no more than INR 300 for a delicious meal.

It’s a rare thing to find Tibetian food being served in Chennai, but this food truck in Thiruvanmiyur is doing just that. Started by Rakesh Raj, Chaska serves dumplings, noodles and so much more. They serve non-vegetarian and vegetarian options, so you can take all your friends to fully enjoy the experience. The truck is open only in the evenings, so plan ahead and show up before the food runs out. Try the chicken or vegetable kothe (a pan-fried momo) and the Schezwan noodles if you’re a fan of spicy food. Read more about it here.

That’s right, everyone’s favourite fruit shop has a truck! Located at the head of Harrington Road, the Fruit Shop On Wheels (as they call it) opens halfway through the day and they can make you pretty much everything on their menu from fresh juices to milkshakes. And during the hot summer days that never seem to go away, this is the perfect treat.  You need the Caramel Blitzer in your life, trust us.

You can’t miss this blue and orange truck when you’re in Medavakkam, and for good reason. Besides all the delicious food items lettered across the side of the truck, their specialties include Burmese and Chinese food. But there’s more! They’re open for breakfast from 7am, lunch from noon and all through the day you can treat yourself to delicious cups of coffee or tea and other snacks. Try the Bejo Soup and Atho Noodles from the Burmese menu and Dragon Chicken from the Chinese menu. Also, if you’re hosting a corporate event and want them to be there, get in touch!
