It was around four years ago, Niraj Agarwal tells us, that food trucks first came in vogue in the city. But restrictive laws meant that these were kept off the roads. Nonetheless, organisers of events like food festivals kept the buzz around food trucks going. And the validation of it being a growing trend came when the Navi Mumbai Food Truck Festival — which Agarwal puts together — debuted last year and a staggering 35,000 people dropped by.

Now, the same festival returns for its second edition and this time, there is a lot more than food on offer. "We'll have a shopping zone, a pani puri-eating competition, activities like grape stomping, and live music and dance in the evening, too," Agarwal says.
