5 Best Street Foods In Mumbai

Street Foods – Just Go For It!!!

Street foods are something which is common all over India, but varies according to regional tastes and traditions. It’s rightly said “There is no love sincere than love for food and no greater exploration than exploring street food”

Mumbai is home to population of different religions, castes, creeds and also nationalities, which has given rise to mix of street foods from all cultures.And I must say that street vendors here come up with unusual and crazy innovations every time, which never fails in terms of taste. Although, Mumbai boasts of some of the best restaurants that offer you world class cuisines from all across the globe, it’s the street food here that the city craves for.

In fact, restaurants in various parts of the world have incorporated Mumbai’s street food into their menu cards. Ours is a metropolis that knows no boundaries and never sleeps, so it’s no surprise that Mumbai is the Indian city most associated with street food, where other cities have a few selected favorites. Some of the famous road side food stalls are located at Girgaum, Juhu, Chowpatty, Nariman Point, Mohammed Ali road etc and I must say that it would be a real sin to come down here and miss out the street foods.

It’s equally enjoyed by both rich and poor. In fact it’s the lunch and the dinner for most of the poor crowd here, since its exceptionally cheap and filling. Even the thought of having them gives us a feeling of joy and contentment. I think list of best street foods in Mumbai would be just endless, so I have picked some of my all-time favorites which I really relish.

So, for all foodies, down goes the list of some mouth-watering street foods in Mumbai which I love:

1. Vada Pav: Local to Mumbai, known as the Indian Burger, it is one the famous street foods in Mumbai. This simple vegetarian dish is made of deep fried mashed potato balls sandwiched between slices of Pav (small Indian bun) with green chillies and chutney for accompaniment. Now days there are many variants of vadas available.
