Best mouthwatering street foods to try in Mumbai

Mumbai is a heaven for culinary connoisseurs as it is a mashup of many cultures. A significant part of Mumbai’s culinary genius is found in its street cuisine, despite the city being flanked with upscale eateries, unique cafés, and 5-star hotels. The bustling daytime and nighttime economies of Mumbai both include street food. In light of this, it should come as no surprise that you can find street vendors selling delectable treats everywhere you turn in the city.

• Pav bhaji @ Sardar’s

Sardar’s Refreshments, a five-minute stroll from Mumbai Central station, focuses in finger-licking pav bhaji that is made using ingredients that are straight from the street. White walls conceal it, but if you mumble “Pav bhaji?” to any onlookers, they will guide you to it. Within a short period of time, two metal plates are delivered, one with fluffy buns and the other with rich vegetable masala that is smeared with a large slab of butter. At the look, your arteries will constrict, but your tummy will like it. Insert your fingers and pour some more lemon juice on top.

Accessible from afternoon till 2AM in the morning

• Girgaum Chowpatty

Visitors and residents alike enjoy eating street cuisine along the city beach, which gives a taste of the famous “sand, sea, and lip-smacking chaat experience.” For the health-conscious, there is bhel puri prepared with boiled potatoes, tender mango, and chutneys. The hot pani puri is an option for the daring. While the majority of the food sellers queuing up on the beach assert that they serve the greatest version of their menu items, we suggest going to Stall No. 11- Badshah’s to rekindle your taste senses.

• Kailash Parbat for pani puri

Have you gone to Mumbai if you have not had pani puri yet? At neighborhood shops in every nook and cranny, you can buy these sour, crunchy balls. However, Kailash Parbat is among the top locations to sample pani puri. You may sample variations of it here, such as spicy water or khatta meetha. These delicious delicacies are so irresistible that you cannot eat just one dish.

• Kebabs @ Sarvi

Skewered kebabs, which dangle from burning vendors like sizzling curtains, have made Mohammed Ali Road their standard. But go to Sarvi by turning left onto Dimtimkar Road towards the northern end. The most delicate beef seekh kebabs inside the city are grilled at this 90-year-old establishment that has no sign and appears to have been ravaged by fire. There is a rumour that the meat is ground papaya, which accounts for the flesh’s melting interior and crisp exterior. As they quickly sell out, arrive early in the evening 9:30 am to 11:30 pm.

• Raju Sandwich Stall for the famous Bombay Sandwich

Without including the Bombay sandwich, we hardly conclude our list of Mumbai street foods. The must while in the city is the Bombay sandwich at the Raju Sandwich Stall, which has a fusion of different ingredients and a blast of flavors. Fresh vegetables (cucumbers, onion rings, beets, and cooked potatoes) and salty mint chutney are spread between 3 slices of buttered bread. Each bite would melt in your tongue easily, leaving you wishing for more, trust us. Another well-known street snack to try is their cheesy chili toast.

• Badshah for falooda

After a plethora of acidic and savory foods, let us discuss about the greatest dessert in the area. You should visit Badshah and sample their delectable falooda if you want to satisfy your sweet taste. Milk, ice cream, and the fruits of your choosing make up this cold treat. After that, vermicelli noodles, jellies, rose syrup, & sweet basil seeds are added to the top. You will be satisfied after eating this rich dessert but will want more.
