Sometimes, when you are broke or find it difficult to manage your expense, but at the same time, you want to hang out with your friends, then street food is the answer to your problems, not only it is affordable, but also totally worth it. Mumbai, best known for its street food, is the melting pot of India. Here you shall find fusions of different cuisines making it a unique and distinct place.

Vada Pav


The humble vada pav has stolen our hearts since childhood. This western style snack is made up of potato and spices dipped in chickpea flour. The vada is then eaten while putting it in a bread bun. Vada pav is eaten by young and old alike.

Regular or cheeseeeeeeeeeeeee . . Don't worry, they both come with a HUGE DOLLOP of Amul butter . . Tried these Pav bhajis at Cannon, opposite CST station . . I was blown away by the generosity with respect to the butter, however the woman who was taking orders and serving us was rude and I've definitely had way better pav bhaji elsewhere . . #foodmaniacindia #cannonpavbhaji #binge #mumbai #streetfood #festiveseason #happytimes #happygirls #foodiegirl #foodieforlife #eatingaway #happygirlsaretheprettiest #thingstodoinmumbai #themumbaicult #pavbhaji #paobhaji #foodaddict #foodholic #foodoftheday #foodblog #foodblogmumbai #eatloads #glutton #ekplate #letsblogsomefood #lensplated #mumbaifoodie #foodofmumbai #eatingout #kitchensaroundme
