Mumbai has had a long history of vendors selling food from travelling vehicles, be it the annas who sell idlis and vadas on the streets before the city stirs, or even hawkers who sell ice cream in trolleys. But the culture of food trucks has had multiple false starts in the city. Licensing still remains a major issue, which is why we only have a handful of such ventures at present. But one of these, called Truckila — touted to be the biggest food truck in Mumbai — will journey from a mall in Malad that's its home to a ground in BKC for a festival this weekend.

Chirag Haveli, a 22-year-old who started the business in January, tells us that the dimensions of the truck are 30 ft in length, 12 ft in breadth and 15 ft in height. He says, "We have a multi-cuisine menu that keeps changing. But from the current one, pocket mein rocket is the best-selling item. It's similar to a wrap or a roll, where we put the stuffing inside a maida roti before baking it."
