Food Van in Cochin - Fries on Wheels @ Panampilly Nagar

We spotted a food van in Panampilly Nagar last week, probably one among the first in Cochin. Inside the van, a young charming lady was preparing burgers and fries for people who were peeping through the side window and placing orders. She is Alpha, a fashion designer who went to UK for higher education and came back with the dream of starting a restaurant.

Alpha and her brother, who was also studying in UK back then, had the idea of starting a western model food joint in India. Initially, they thought of a restaurant selling fried chicken but was not very confident about the location. They were also skeptical on whether people will accept it. Then came the idea of starting a mobile restaurant selling fries and burgers. Along with their dad and mom, they started 'Fries on Wheels'. Their initial location was Fort Kochi but later, they shifted to Panampilly Nagar and made it their permanent location.

This one month old food van is open from 6:00 pm to 9:30 pm on all days. The menu includes fries, burgers and rolls, both veg and non-veg. You can find the van near South Indian Bank, Panampilly Nagar.

In future, they are planning to add Sri Lankan dishes to their menu. After they get permanent customers and a good place, they are looking forward to opening a restaurant next year. A place to park fries on wheels!
