Miksa Food Truck

I am starting my EatMap adventure. I actually had many options in mind for my first place, but I chose to begin with one of my favourites: Miksa Food Truck. You can call Miksa Food Truck a true street-food spot. It opens at 6:00 pm on Thursday and serves in the evenings only, four days a week, including Sunday. The name “Miksa” comes from reading “Aşkım” backwards, and “Aşkım” in Turkish means “My Love”. The owner clearly does this job with love and genuinely gives customers a real flavour festival. When quality minced meat, charcoal fire, and salad come together, the result is a standout taste. You should definitely try it. One note though: on cold nights, dress warmly or choose a less chilly day. Even though the top is covered, the sides are open and it can feel cold. I have tried kebab in many places across Melbourne, but this one has a different taste and experience. As I said, Miksa Food Truck is open from Thursday to Sunday (4 days), starting service at 6:00 pm and finishing at 10:00 pm. If you want to try it, aim for that time window, but do not arrive too late. On some days they can close early because items sell out. They also actively use Instagram at @miksafoodtruck, so you can follow them there. When it comes to pricing, there are many places in Melbourne that serve kebab, and while Miksa Food Truck is unique in taste, the prices are slightly above the usual standard. Still, it definitely does not fall into the “expensive” category, and I think the flavour is worth it. In the bread roll serve, the salad and meat work really well together. The bread is lightly toasted, never overdone, and that perfect toast level adds even more flavour. The oil brushed on top of the bread gives a completely different kind of enjoyment. Cooking the meat over charcoal is also a big plus. I shared the price details in the photo: it is usually AUD 18–19, and drinks are AUD 4.50. Payment options include cash (pay upfront) and card. Also, the single bread roll serve comes with two kofta pieces. Even though the menu is not very large, I have tried several items, and Adana Kebab is my favourite. The cooking level is excellent: not undercooked, not overcooked. The meat stays juicy, which is ideal for anyone chasing flavour. You will definitely taste the quality. The important thing to remember is that this is not a full restaurant, it is a food truck. The staff are friendly, and it is clear they enjoy what they do. There is not much back-and-forth: you line up, place your order, sit at any free table, and when your food is ready they call your name. You collect it, eat with enjoyment, and that is it. I noted the location as well: it is around Campbellfield. As you get closer on the map, the charcoal smoke will basically guide you straight to the spot. If you feel like dessert after your meal, you also have the chance to try a great künefe under the “Cuppa Tucca” brand. Dessert lovers should definitely give it a go. This was our first place on EatMap. Maybe I did not take the best photos, but they are all original and taken by me. I know I need to improve my photography, and I will be more careful from now on. I would love your comments below so I can improve. Please critique me and tell me what I should pay more attention to. Of course, comments from people who have tried Miksa Food Truck are also very important. I would love you to go and try this flavour too, and share your own experience.
