Vola Foods Food Truck & Catering

Tucked away in Brunswick just steps from Ona Coffee—look for the open shack popping with graffiti art—Vola Foods is slinging some of the most electric West African soul food in Melbourne. Those chasing authentic, unapologetic flavor point straight to founder Ashley’s Cameroonian-inspired lineup. The ultimate play? A plate of deeply smoky Jollof with the lot, drenched in rich tomato stew and loaded with charred BBQ meat. The city's spice chasers are obsessed with the expertly roasted Borniang fish and the sticky hot-and-sweet wings. Whatever you do, do not skip the plantains—crispy, caramelized, and dangerously good. They even do a brilliant plantain-based HSP that flips the iconic Aussie street food on its head. Finish with a round of golden Puff Puff. Street parking on Ovens Street is notoriously tight, but one bite of this vibrant, fragrant cooking makes the hassle instantly vanish.
