I have realised that the Mumbai Wada Pav has travelled outside Mumbai now not just to reach people but in fact become a staple food to the people there. I was at the one of the Junctions outside mumbai when I saw this small joint selling Wada Paav, Fritter( Bhaji), Bread pakoda and a nearby stall selling cutting chai. The crowd never stopped coming in and the stall owner told me that he sells over 4000 wada alone in a single day. Here are some clicks..

UK – imagine having vada pav at Dilli Haat! I had fun 🙂 man, am I madly in love with vada pav or what… :p
Btw – would love to get your feedback on my posts… 🙂 thanks!
Yes Archana, I keep reading yours. I am sure you will be winning some contests in the near future..Great style of writing you have..:)
That chai cutting picture with vada pav…omg….nostalgic. nothing beats a mumbai vada pav 🙂
Yes Shweta, be it Winter or Summer, the Wada pav and Chai are inseparable from Mumbai..:)
I think Mumbai is pioneer city for Vada Pav. Almost working people eating vada pav . Nice information with pictures. Raining and vada pav better combination !!!
Yes Ritesh.. Heavy Mumbai Rains and Wadapav with chai is a deadly combo.. 🙂
My Fav. Whenever I go to Mumbai, I never forget Vada Pav 😀
BTW, Hearty congratulations for the win… 🙂
Thanks Mani…so much delay had happened on the results that I had almost given up…and then the surprise came. 🙂
Next time you are in Mumbai, we will have a Wada paav and cutting chai together.
In every season mumbai people have to eat vada pav…………
Yes, Its a staple food of Mumbai..Mumbai ki lifeline . 🙂
I was in Mumbai for an internship last year and for the entire 1.5 months I had vada pao for breakfast at the station while going for work. Loved it!
I was surprised to find vada paos on sale at the 24×7 outlets here in Delhi. They are priced four times more than their Mumbai station outlets though! 😀
Yes Antarik, only Mumbai sells Wada pav at Rs.10-Rs.12 as of now in India.. 🙂
I love wada pavs, and the ones that are sold outside railway stations are the best!
🙂 Yes Ragini. Now there are few brands which have emerged like chain joints with over 50-60 outlets all over mumbai.
I had been to Mumbai once, and seriously, I didn’t like this Wada Paav stuff. It was just a bread stuffed with some sabji or you can blame that vendor for the experience.
I really struggled to get some good food in Mumbai. During my visit to Siddhi Vinayak, I ordered grilled sandwitches in one of the shops right besides the temple, and after it get served, I swear to my ownself to not eat anything else.
The Pooriwala nearby to CST and the food joints that are there in Juhu, were awesome. Apart from that, I ordered food at Fort, Churchgate and many other places and promised myself to not visit that shop in this lifetime.
Next time you come to Mumbai, I will tell you where to hog. I am sure you will not want to leave mumbai after that.. 🙂
Where did you see this Stall?
This was somewhere in Dadar Lalbaugh area last year, Neha…I guess. I click randomly what attracts my attention. 🙂
Yes, Vadapav is something that outsiders generally ask me. While I was put in Noida, my boss would ask me about Vada Pav and asked me to bring it for him when I get back from Mumbai to Office. Weird! But they were fond of it and cutting chai is something that is also available elsewhere!
Thank you..:)
