There’s always a reason to be out and about, scouring flea markets, admiring the sea view, or simply hanging out with friends.

Vada Pav
The vada pav is the dish most associated with Mumbai. It’s simple to make, tasty, and satisfying.

Vada pav is commonly found at railway stations, food stalls, and even in premium restaurants! This Mumbai street food is easily accessible and is essential for your food tour in Mumbai.
Chaat
Chaat is a broad term that includes various snacks like Sev puri, Pani puri, and Bhel puri. The best chaat has a variety of textures and flavors and should be eaten quickly to avoid becoming soggy. All types of chaat are crunchy, sour, sweet, and salty as it’s made with flavourful green and tamarind chutney, chili powder, lentils, and soothing yogurt. Because they can be found all over the city, there is no perfect definition of the “best chaat”. However, our guides always find mouth-watering and Hygenic chaat carts for your Mumbai food tour.
Pav bhaji
Another Mumbai culinary tour highlight is the pav bhaji, a thick vegetable curry made with vegetables and served with soft bread (locally called pav) on the side. A slick of melted butter topping the curry should give the sauce a sheen. This street food was a popular meal for mill workers as it was made from reused leftovers. The best pav bhaji has a rich red color from the tomatoes, but you can find multiple fusions with special recipes.
Chicken tikka roll
The chicken tikka roll, a well-known Mumbai street food, has a burst of flavors. Chicken tikka roll is so popular among Mumbaikars that they swear by it to prove they are foodies. It’s made with thin and soft Roomali roti (refined flour flat bread) wrapped in juicy chicken and stuffed with various sauces and veggies.
Brun Maska
Even the best Mumbai street food tour is complete without Brun Maska and tea. There is no better combination of bread and butter in India than the iconic Brun Maska. It is made from brun (bread), and has a crispy-hard and crumbly texture on the outside but is deliciously soft inside. The Brun is sliced, and butter is liberally applied, which is why this dish is so well-known. There is a slightly sugary taste in some places and is consumed with chai (tea).
