Among the featured food trucks is Amma’s Curry in a Hurry, a new entrant in the Historic Triangle that specializes in authentic Indian cuisine. This food truck is an extension of the family-owned Spice Palace, which has been a staple in Williamsburg since 2017. With its mission to introduce authentic Indian food flavors to the community, Amma’s Curry in a Hurry offers menu items such as curry combos with rice, naan, salad, vegetable curry, and desserts. Popular dishes include Butter Masala, Korma, and vegan-friendly Mango Curry, appealing to a wide range of dietary preferences.

In James City County, operators need to apply for a mobile food vending permit and adhere to health and fire safety regulations. York County requires permits from health and zoning departments but does not mandate fire department inspections. Meanwhile, the City of Williamsburg mandates that food truck operators maintain health permits and business licenses while also obtaining approval for each location they serve.
This community-wide event, highlighting local culinary talent and bringing together food lovers, showcases the vibrant food truck culture in the Historic Triangle. Residents and visitors are encouraged to explore the unique flavors and dishes offered, further enriching the local dining experience.
