Mumbai is a
haven for foodies. It offers a wide array of gastronomical delights, which
everyone can afford. Mumbai street food is normally hygienic (ok I know u may
mention the pani puri vendor from Thane…but he is an exception rather than the
norm) and lip smackingly tasty.
1.Gola: Kala khatta, Rose, Khus
etc the list is long and the golas are amazing especially on a hot summer day
when you want to beat the heat. Hit any of Mumbai’s many beaches and its hard
to miss a golawala standing with his handcart, well stocked with colourful
bottles of syrups ready to serve you

2.Vada Pav: Vada pav is the
staple food of Maharastrians and they can eat it for any meal… Some people have
it for breakfast, or as a mid day snack or even as their dinner… This versatile snack is reasonably priced and
easily available all over Mumbai. Hot and spicy served with chillies and
chutneys, vada pavs are Mumbaikar’s all time favourite snack.
3. Chaat : Chatpata chaat is
another hot favourite with Mumbaikars. Bhel puri, sev puri, paani puri, paapdi
chaat etc the list is long. Spicy, tangy, sweet.. There is always something to
suit your palate,, why my friendly chaat wala even serves diet chaat.
4.Bombay sandwich: Bombay sandwich is another specialty with usually a fixed set of veggies that go into it – cucumber, tomato, potato (very important),
onion, beetroot, capsicum. And the bread is always soft and white. Some sandwichwals add their own twist to the sandwich. The
ones in town top up their sandwiches with sev and dollops of butter. Others serve magi cheese, mysore masala
toast and chocolate toasts as well. But the diehard sandwich lovers need’nt
worry for the original remains and is easily available all over the city.
5.Pav Bhaji: Hot buttered pav served with spicy and tangy bhaji garnished with coriander leaves and served with lemon wedge is another favourite of Mumnbaikars. Top it with cheese or extra butter, its mouth wateringly delicious !!
