About Desi's Food Van

Oversized 16-inch stuffed parathas bring serious Punjabi roadside soul to Springvale well past midnight. Patrons head here for the piping hot aloo parantha—massive, hearty, and blistered right on the griddle. The food truck stays active into the early morning hours, turning out light-battered paneer pakodey, crisp fish fry, and cups of hot chai.

  • 16-Inch Stuffed Parathas: Massive, hearty Punjabi flatbreads stuffed with spiced potatoes and griddled to order.
  • Late-Night Food Van: Serving takeaway comfort fare until 1:00 AM or 2:00 AM most nights of the week.
