About Pav Bhaji

Pav bhaji is a thick, buttery mash of vegetables cooked on a big flat griddle, served with soft pav rolls toasted in more butter. It began in Mumbai in the 1800s as a quick, cheap meal for textile mill workers.

Regional versions

The bhaji is mostly potato, tomato, peas, capsicum and cauliflower, seasoned with a special pav bhaji masala. Cheese pav bhaji and Jain pav bhaji, made without onion, garlic or potato, are common variations.

What to order with it

Squeeze lemon over the bhaji and add raw onion. A lassi or a falooda goes well with it, and many places also sell masala pav, the same buns tossed in the spiced butter.

How this list is made

We started from public records, OpenStreetMap and Overture Maps, searched town by town for places those records miss, and read each restaurant's menu from its website or online ordering page. Places whose opening hours we could not confirm recently say so, and we check them again every month. Dishes marked "on the menu" come from the restaurant's own website or ordering page. "Usually served" is our best guess from the style of the place, so call ahead if you have your heart set on it.
