About Dosa Mates

Tucked beside a Camp Road petrol station in Broadmeadows, this trailer delivers fiery Madurai-style street food cooked fresh to order. Expect a proper thattukada experience with zero shortcuts. The kitchen fires crisp dosas, soft ghee podi idlis, and flaky Kerala parottas paired with aromatic, slow-simmered chicken and lamb gravies well past dark.

  • Cooked to Order: Orders are prepared directly from scratch inside the trailer kitchen rather than held in warmers.
  • Late-Night Street Fare: Dishes out thattukada-style parottas, kothu roti, and dosas well into the night next to the petrol station.
  • Parottas and Meat Gravies: Flaky Kerala parottas paired with richly spiced chicken, goat, or lamb gravies simmered with whole spices.

  • Late-Night Takeaway Near Midnight

    Operating near midnight next to a petrol station, the food truck serves freshly prepared hot meals during late hours when most kitchens are closed.

  • Convenient Petrol Station Location

    Tucked beside an Arrow fuel station and car wash in Broadmeadows, the unassuming setup offers easy roadside access and quick vehicle takeaway.

    It’s inside and next to the Arrow fuel station in a food truck in case you miss it!

  • Masala Dosa

    We saw all the good reviews but with some doubt and expectations we ordered masala dosa and paratha with lamb curry. Both of the food meet and exceeded our expectation and we end up ordering more.

  • Chicken Kothu Roti

    We had chicken kothu roti and it reminded us of the street food stalls in South India. A very special thattukada experience.

  • Sheltered Marquee Dining Setup

    The operators set up an on-site marquee and tent area so roadside takeaway patrons have sheltered outdoor seating next to the truck.

  • Madurai Native Hospitality

    Operated by natives of Madurai, Tamil Nadu, providing warm, personal engagement and sharing authentic regional culinary traditions directly from the truck window.
