Fauzia's Heavenly Delights, a cherished Bronx food truck known for its Jamaican cuisine, will close its doors on March 7 after 30 years of service. Co-owner Fauzia Aminah-Rasheed noted inflation, staffing issues, and the challenge of finding a successor for her 76-year-old father as contributing factors to this tough decision. The truck, which has served popular halal Jamaican dishes, will still have a seasonal presence on Governors Island and maintain its catering and retail operations, marking a strategic pivot rather than a complete closure.
Fauzia's Heavenly Delights, a beloved food truck in the Bronx, is closing its main location on March 7 after 30 years, citing various challenges.
Co-owner Fauzia Aminah-Rasheed announced the decision was difficult and attributed it to rising ingredient costs, staffing challenges, and the need for a replacement for her father.
The food truck, founded in 1994, became popular for its halal Jamaican dishes with New York influences, including jerk chicken and vegan options.
Despite the closure, the family plans to continue its seasonal cart on Governors Island and will keep its catering business and retail seasoning sales ongoing.
