Vijayawada Mess Indian Cuisine food truck

This was near the Netflix House in Philly. Had aloo samosa and onion samosa, punugulu and vada sambhar, and benne masala dosa. Punugulu is made of same batter as vada so that backfired on us. At other joints like Amma's etc, the punugulu has different batter so I wasn't expecting this. Benne dosa was good. Masala was too spicy for my taste. What i loved about all the dishes was the ample amount of chutneys, sauces, sambhar, etc that was provided. And of needed anything else, the owners were eager to help. Overall a good joint, worth visiting.

I ordered the weekend Mandi special and it turned out amazing — rich taste, well-seasoned, and prepared really well. I stop by here quite a bit and usually go for whatever special they feature, and it’s always a solid choice. Service is quick, my food arrives without much delay, and the quality stays reliable every time. It’s also a convenient place to swing by for a light bite. Definitely worth trying!

We tried Chicken mandi, chittimutyala chicken biryani and panner biryani, all were good.

I recently ordered pickup from the Vijayawada Mess food truck, and the food was excellent. The truck itself is tucked in a gas station parking lot, so there’s not much atmosphere to comment on, but it’s cute, clean, and appears to be well run. I enjoy supporting small local businesses, and the owner/manager was genuinely friendly and appreciative. I arrived a little early for my pickup on a cold and chilly day, and they even walked the food to my car— a thoughtful gesture. My only suggestion is to make the menu a bit clearer, since the food items are foreign (southern Indian) and not fully described. Definitely give it a try!

Awesome place to grab a quick evening snack or full on dinner. Do try punugulu and onion samosa😋
