#HauteSpots: 10 Food Trucks In Mumbai That Promise Lip-Smacking Nosh!
By now we’ve heard all about the latest and greatest restaurants cropping up in our city of dreams — these swanky places serve gourmet meals designed to suit every kind of palate. But in recent times, a fun new addition to the food scene has been gaining massive popularity — and you guessed it — we’re talking about food trucks!
Food trucks may be all the rage in India right now, but it all started in America way back in the 1930s. Food trucks were — and still are — immensely popular in America’s cultural landscape. While it took a fair bit of time for this trend to sink in here, we must say that it’s doing quite well, especially in the metros. Indian food trucks are rightly cashing in on our love for diverse cuisines, showcasing fare from across the globe. Mexican, Lebanese, Italian….you name it and they have it. What’s more — believe it or not — these food trucks are a great way to indulge in a bit of celebrity spotting as well!
In Mumbai, you can find these funkily done-up trucks whizzing all around the city, dishing out lip-smacking meals at seriously great prices. So don’t be surprised the next time you see a brightly painted truck trundling alongside your car. Instead, follow the truck and go bag yourself a delicious meal.
If the idea of meals-on-wheels has you thrilled, you’re probably looking for some food trucks to try out asap. Well, we saw that coming and have helpfully rounded up the best of the lot right here.
