The masala dosa and punugulu from this food truck were absolutely incredible! Both dishes were perfectly crispy and packed with flavor, and the dips they came with were amazing. While the portions were on the smaller side, the reasonable prices and quick service made it worth. If you're a dosa lover, this spot is a must-try! Highly recommend

Tucked away in the heart of Belconnen, the Amrutham Food Truck is a true hidden gem for anyone craving authentic South Indian cuisine. This unassuming cart delivers flavors so vibrant and genuine that it feels like a culinary journey to the streets of South India. As a fan of Indian food, I can confidently say Amrutham stands out for its exceptional dosa, idly sambhar, aloo puri, and chai, making it a must-visit for foodies in Canberra.
The dosa at Amrutham is nothing short of spectacular. Each dosa is perfectly crispy, golden, and thin, with just the right amount of crunch. The masala dosa, in particular, is a standout, stuffed with a spiced potato filling that’s flavorful without being overwhelming. Paired with their fresh coconut chutney and tangy sambhar, every bite is a delightful balance of textures and tastes. It’s clear they take pride in their batter, likely fermented to perfection, as the dosas have that authentic South Indian soul you’d expect from a top-tier eatery.
The idly/vada sambhar is another highlight. The idlis are soft, fluffy, and melt-in-your-mouth, served steaming hot with a bowl of sambhar that’s rich, spicy, and packed with depth. The sambhar here isn’t an afterthought—it’s a star in its own right, with a robust blend of spices and vegetables that complements the delicate idlis perfectly. Whether you’re dipping or dunking, this dish is comfort food at its finest.
Then there’s the aloo puri, a dish that’s both hearty and satisfying. The puris are fried to golden perfection, puffed up and crispy, paired with a spiced potato curry that’s bursting with flavor. The aloo is well-seasoned, with just the right kick of spice, making it an ideal companion to the puri’s subtle richness. It’s a dish that feels like a warm hug, perfect for any time of day.
And let’s not forget the chai. Amrutham’s chai is a revelation—aromatic, perfectly spiced, and brewed with care. It’s the kind of chai that warms you from the inside out, with a balance of sweetness and spice that makes you want to linger over every sip. It’s the perfect way to cap off a meal or enjoy as a quick pick-me-up.
What makes Amrutham truly special is its authenticity and attention to detail. The food truck may be small, but the flavors are bold and uncompromising. The staff are friendly, and the service is quick, with a focus on hygiene that’s reassuring in a food truck setting. Online reviews echo my sentiments, with many praising Amrutham’s dosas.
For anyone in Belconnen or beyond, Amrutham Food Truck is a South Indian treasure that deserves more spotlight. Whether you’re a dosa devotee, an idly enthusiast, or just someone looking for a soul-warming chai, this place delivers every time. Do yourself a favor and seek out this gem—you won’t be disappointed!

I recently visited Amrutham, and I was genuinely impressed by the authenticity and flavour of the food. The masala dosa was perfectly crispy with a generous and tasty potato filling, while the idlis were soft, fluffy, and freshly made. The sambhar and chutneys were bursting with traditional South Indian flavours and balanced spice.

The staff were warm and welcoming, and the service was fast despite the busy crowd. If you're looking for quality South Indian street food in Canberra, Amrutham is definitely worth a stop. A must-try for dosa and idli lovers!

You must try their GheePodi Idlis! They’re super soft and the podi is bursting with flavour.

- Mysore Bonda: Not oily at all, you can really taste the freshness of the batter.

- Punugulu: Crispy bites that are a must-try.

Overall, I had an amazing time with the food!

The street food like Mysore Bonda, mirchi bhajji and punugulu are pretty good. The chutneys are average. Sambar lacks zing and I could eat very less - almost like the daal you get in hospitals in India.

Food is pretty good - the people running the place seem like they were beaten up to run the food truck. They actually seem sad that they have a customer.

Can't fault most of the vegetarian food (would be nicer if they have separation of food preparation area from non-veg) but I have never seen someone as straight/sad faced and possibly unhappy to be there than the people running the joint. Uttapam size was too small - perhaps the owners wishing you wont come back and bother them for more food .. lol
