Owners: Mike & Nawar Hage
In 2021 Mike and Nawar saw the need for a restaurant and as there was no space to have another permanent structure, they bought a truck and turned it into a food service vehicle, providing something different in the Township. Having gourmet pizza, bagel sandwiches they expanded to vegetable samosas and ice cream is available for those with a sweet tooth. They also can brew all the specialty coffees for those wanting a taste of the big city and have other cold beverages available too. They wanted something different for their lodgers, passing tourists and the local population. Delivery is also available depending on the order. Being a “Food Truck” there is the opportunity to cater for special events throughout the area. There are 3 employees looking after this seasonal business as it is not open every day. To find out when they are open call, or visit their website or Facebook page.
