The highlights include whole wheat wraps filled with chole, aloo and paneer, schezwan triple fried rice or noodles and momos.

There are many food trucks in Bangalore specialising in pizza, however, As On Fire stands apart for its generous toppings cooked in a wood-fired oven. Founders Nishanth Rajkumar and Vindya Murthy were inspired during their visit to Cambodia, where they spotted a street-side vendor serving pizza prepared in an electric oven. Grab their acclaimed Barbecue Chicken Pizza or try the classic paneer tikka or chicken tikka pizza. The food truck also has a ‘Mine Mine Mine’ option that allows for customisations. Order their chicken wings and charcoal barbecue for some side options.

Le Casse Croûte

Food Truck, Restaurant, French

Started by the three French entrepreneurs Nicholas Mirguet, Nicholas Grossemy and Johanne Barbier, Le Casse Croûte, which translates to snack or light meal in French, is the first French food truck in the city. Try the Monsieur Le Goff, a sandwich made of fresh prawns and homemade aioli or the Monsieur Martin, which comes with bacon and béchamel. Complement the meal with delectable sides like French fries and gazpacho soup. Make sure to save some room for dessert since their crème de la crème (homemade caramel cream made with salted butter and biscuits) is absolutely divine.
