The Ultimate Vada Pav Trail: 8 Mumbai Spots That Locals Swear By

11 June 2025

1) Bhau Vada Pav, Ghatkopar Massive, fiery, and packed with flavour. Think perfectly spiced vada, onions, ghati masala, and fresh chutneys — all coming together in one unforgettable bite.

2) Ashok Vada Pav, Dadar Not your regular vadapav — this one’s got crunchy chura inside the pav, along with spicy green chutney and gunpowder. Expect an hour-long wait… it’s that good.

3) Anand Vada Pav, Vile Parle Their butter-grilled Vada Pav is a legend. Crispy outside, soft inside — best enjoyed with a cutting chai in hand.

4) Aaram Vada Pav, CST Serving since 1939! Big, fluffy pavs, and the only place in Mumbai that skips turmeric in their vada — resulting in a rare, white bhaji. A true OG.

5) Gupta Vada Pav, Andheri East Here’s a surprise — they stuff a whole garlic clove inside the vada! Add in fiery red and green chutneys plus a fried green chilli, and you’ve got a flavour bomb.

6) Famous Vada Pav, Mulund  Slathered in hot, spicy masala and served piping hot. This one brings the heat, quite literally.

7) Kavita Vada Pav, Chinchpokli  It looks ordinary — but one bite and you’ll know why locals keep coming back. Simple, soulful, and super tasty.

8) Shree Vittal Vada Pav, Sewri  Cooked in a traditional bhatti (clay oven), this one's got a smoky aroma you won’t forget. Comes with fried dal vada, garlic chutney, green chutney, and a mirchi on the side.

So, which one are you going to try first?
