Mumbai's street food scene is legendary. From the iconic Vada Pav to the tangy Pani Puri, the city's streets offer a gastronomic adventure that reflects its diverse culture and fast-paced lifestyle.
The Iconic Vada Pav
Often called Mumbai's burger, Vada Pav is a spicy potato fritter sandwiched in a soft bun. Created in the 1960s, it has become the quintessential Mumbai snack, available at every street corner for just a few rupees.
Pav Bhaji: A Complete Meal
This buttery, spicy vegetable mash served with soft bread rolls is a Mumbai invention. The dish was created by street vendors to provide a quick, filling meal to textile mill workers. Today, it's enjoyed by millions across the city.
"Mumbai's street food is not just about eating; it's about experiencing the soul of the city." - Vir Sanghvi
Other must-try items include Bhel Puri, Sev Puri, Pani Puri, Misal Pav, and the late-night favorite, Bun Maska with Chai. Each dish tells a story of Mumbai's multicultural heritage and innovative spirit.
