About Chef Samir Truck

Chef Samir Truck Authentic Moroccan Mediterranean Homestyle Cuisine Chef Samir Truck brings the authentic flavors of Morocco and the Mediterranean to NYC, combining traditional homestyle cooking with the convenience and energy of a modern food truck and catering experience. Born and raised in Casablanca, Morocco, Chef Samir grew up learning the art of Moroccan cooking from his mother, especially the use of fresh herbs, aromatic spices, preserved lemon, and traditional cooking techniques. After moving to the United States in 1999, his passion for food eventually grew from cooking for friends and family into a catering business — and later into Chef Samir Truck. For more than a decade, we have served NYC with flavorful, halal Moroccan Mediterranean dishes made with carefully selected ingredients and recipes inspired by home. Our menu includes favorites such as Moroccan lemon chicken with basmati rice, beef & lamb gyro shawarma, chicken kebabs, falafel, couscous, hummus, fresh Mediterranean salads, homemade sauces, and Moroccan-inspired specialties. Whether you're planning a corporate lunch, private party, wedding, school event, festival, community gathering, or large-scale celebration, Chef Samir Truck brings more than food — we bring the warmth, hospitality, and flavors of Morocco to your event.

When to Book

Recommended lead time
15–30 days before your event

That said, shorter timelines work too—we book events just days out all the time. You'll just have fewer options to choose from.

Busy seasons: Spring and Fall are our most popular times in New York, so booking early gives you the best selection.

How far in advance should I book Chef Samir Truck?
Fifteen to thirty days gives you the best shot at your first-choice date, and shorter timelines work too. Food trucks in New York book up fastest in spring and fall, and events with 100+ guests benefit from a little extra notice for menu planning and staffing.
What types of events does Chef Samir Truck cater?
Chef Samir Truck is new to Food Truck Club, so there are no platform bookings to show yet. Corporate lunches, employee appreciation days, community festivals, school and university events, and private celebrations around New York are all bookable from this page.
