There is no doubt about Vada Pav being Mumbai’s most popular street food. For your average Mumbaikar, Vada Pav is more than the ultimate snack it is an emotion. The first Vada Pav Stall in Mumbai is said to have come up in 1966 in Dadar and now it’s hard to go a few kilometres in Mumbai without spotting small vada pav stalls serving this pocket-friendly treat to hungry Mumbaikars! This humble Indian snack has also come a long way and moved beyond the street stalls to pubs, restaurants and even fine dining establishments. Things2do explores the 5 best restaurants in Mumbai that have been inspired by the delicious flavours of a classic Vada Pav and added it to their menu with a delicious twist!
1When Vada Pav went Fine dinning at Farzi Cafe
If you want to try classic Indian food with an unimaginable, gourmet twist, there is no doubt that Farzi Cafe is the best fine dining restaurant in Mumbai for you. Their rendition of the humble vada will turn your world upside down, quite literally. The vada pav at Farzi Cafe has the pav hidden inside the vada and comes with a variety of chutneys and salted fried chillies. This is of course in a typical Farzi Cafe food styling that makes sure you eat with your eyes first!
2Vada pav Sizzler at BSE
The Bar Stock Exchange did make people reimagine their drinking experience in Mumbai. Besides the exciting stock system ordering format for drinks, they also have some exciting innovations on their food menu – Vada Pav sizzler is one of them. It consists of hot, spicy vadas served with a bed of veggies, sauteed rice and a curried sauce – one sizzling twist to the vada pav that Things2do recommends you must try.
3Vada pav Bao at Socials
In this version of Vada Pav, the good old pav is replaced by a moist, soft oriental style Bao. While the essence of the Vada remains the same, the lehsun chutney mayo and green chilli pickle it is served with definitely makes this one noteworthy! You can always trust socials, to take an excellent ol’ Indian classic and put an interesting spin on it.
4Deconstructed Vada Pav at the Spice Klub
Rich potato mousse, a spicy green chutney replicates flavours of Mumbai’s favourite Vada Pav quite well in this deconstructed version. The show stopper, however, is the dry garlic chutney which is served in an edible plastic bag – Yes, you read that right, an edible plastic bag. The visual of Spice Klubs Vada pav is not exactly what you might imagine when you think of eating Vada Pav in Mumbai, but the flavours definitely hit home!
