Comfort food: Mumbai Vada Pav

Street Food Addict's
Vada Pav; our very own comfort food and famous all over the world. This cheap affordable local dish garnered worldwide recognition and become a staple food of Mumbai.  Fried spicy potato patty served between soft bread (Pav) with dry ‘n spicy garlic chutney is the simplest form of our very own Indian Burger.  

You may find multiple varieties of Vada Pav all over the Mumbai and Thane, though there are multiple folklore about the invention of this roadside delicacy, however it is believed that it was invented as affordable snack for the mill workers in early 70’s.

Since then Vada Pav has come a long way. Many companies tried to revamp our good old Vada Pav by redressing it as a Burger. But you won’t be able to enjoy the authenticity and earthiness of a simple roadside Vada Pav. Many of us have fond memories of eating this treat while we were kids. So if you have a craving for a hot vada pav with you spicy chutney don’t hold back your taste buds just go and enjoy the food bon appetite!
