About Vada Pav
Vada pav is Mumbai's everyday snack: a spiced potato fritter, fried in chickpea batter, tucked into a soft square bun called pav. Office workers and students eat it standing at roadside stalls, often for breakfast or on the way home.
Regional versions
Most stalls spread the pav with green chili and coriander chutney, sweet tamarind chutney and a dry red garlic chutney. Some fry a green chili alongside, and newer places add cheese or toast the bun in butter.
What to order with it
Order a cutting chai or a masala chai with it. If you are hungry, add a plate of pav bhaji or misal pav from the same counter.

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.
