Mama Voula’s

Mama Voula’s is a family-owned and operated food truck serving Greek Mediterranean food, with stops around Raleigh, Durham, Chapel Hill and Morrisville. The menu is built on authentic Greek dishes brought over from the family’s homeland.

The truck is named for Mama, who raised four children on her own with help from her brothers after her husband left the country without warning. She had been at home with the children for 12 years and spoke no English when she went back to work. One customer wrote that they would track the truck down to order again.
