The Pakalachian is a food truck based out of Abingdon, Virginia, that strives to creatively blend the culinary elements of both Southwest Virginia and South Asia to produce unique, vibrant dishes. The Pakalachian offers menu items such as Curry Me Down South, tomato-based Pakistani chicken curry piled on mashed potatoes. Samosa Pot Pie & I Shut My Mouth, another favorite, is a vegetarian option with a savory helping of pot pie goodness “wallered” in a crispy samosa shell served with imli, dill ranch, or spicy chutney for dipping. There’s also Tikka My Senses, Uncle Keema Joe, and more. The menu changes regularly and each dish is curated to combine the comforting elements of the foods the owners grew up with as kids and combined in marriage. The truck does not have a formal parking spot but is often set up at events in town, for live music around the area, and at local businesses for lunch or dinner.
