Mumbai is India’s second-largest city and one of the best street food destinations in the country. Mumbai is also a city of great culinary innovation and a city where street food means something more than just filling your tummy. People from all walks of life can be seen eating street food delicacies on the roadside at all hours of the day because locals live and breathe street food. This makes Mumbai one of the best street food destinations in the world and in this article, we’ll introduce you to everything there is to know about street food in Mumbai.
Let’s start from the beginning…
Is It Safe To East Street Food In Mumbai?
Many people are skeptical when it comes to Indian street food and some even avoid it, and as much as I love street food, I can understand why. Many of the street food joints in Mumbai have questionable hygiene and some scandals in the past (like a panipuri vendor in Thane urinating in a container used to serve customers) have made people even more skeptical of street food in Mumbai. However, not even this is enough to crush Mumbai’s street food culture.
Like I said in the beginning, the majority of the population in Mumbai, regardless of their socioeconomic status, enjoys street food. Restaurants and hotels have recognized this trend and now even many of them offer street food to their customers.
Moreover, to be fair, there have been attempts by the local authorities to regulate this part of the local economy. In 2007, the Supreme Court ordered the municipality to identify 230 legal hawking zones in the city, a number that later increased to 1700. Most street food stalls in Mumbai are located in these zones and the hawkers who sell their food illegally without the required permits from the local authorities are often charged with fines. Perhaps this will give you some peace of mind and encourage you to try more street food in Mumbai.

As we mentioned in the previous section, there are many hawkers zone in Mumbai but for the best of the best, we suggest heading to some of these areas.

Helpful Tips For Eating Street Food In Mumbai
To ensure the safety of the street food you consume in Mumbai, it’s important to keep a few things in mind.
Firstly, ensure that the food is freshly made and avoid stalls that sell stale food. Opt for street food joints that prepare the food in front of you and not selling stale food.
Secondly, always carry a pocket-sized hand sanitizer as most street food joints don’t have washrooms and public bathrooms in India are often unhygienic.
Thirdly, if you’re new to Mumbai, it’s best to stick to vegetarian food as meat-based street food may not be fresh.
During the rainy season, be extra careful because insects can contaminate the food that’s kept out in the open.
Avoid tap water and products that may have tap water- like side chutneys/ side sauces.
Finally, be careful not to overeat as Indian food can be spicy and difficult for your stomach to adjust to.

Now, let’s get to the most important part of this article and focus on different kinds of street food in Mumbai. Let’s begin with…
Pavs
Pavs are soft and fluffy breads used to make a variety of delicious sandwich like dishes and here are some of the most popular ones.
Vada Pav
Vada Pav is a popular street food in Mumbai that consists of a potato fritter (Vada) placed between two buttered and toasted slices of bread (Pav) typically served with a side of chutney and fresh green chili peppers.
The origins of Vada Pav are traced back to the 1960s when street vendors in Mumbai began selling this street food innovation that with time, not only became a beloved staple of Mumbai’s street food scene and the city’s signature dish but also gained popularity in many other regions of India
Pav Bhaji
Pav Bhaji is a popular street food in Mumbai that consists of a vegetable curry made with mashed vegetables such as potatoes, tomatoes, peas, and onions, cooked with spices, and served with a soft buttered and toasted bread roll called pav. This dish is believed to have originated in the 1850s as a quick lunch option for textile mill workers in Mumbai and has since become a beloved food item among locals and tourists alike. Pav Bhaji is often served with chopped onions, lemon wedges, and coriander leaves on the side.
Anda Bhurji Pav
Anda Bhurji Pav consists of spiced scrambled eggs served with pav (soft bread roll). The dish is made by frying onions, tomatoes, green chilies, and spices in a pan, then adding eggs and scrambling them until cooked. Often accompanied by some ketchup or green chutney, this snack is one of the favorite local breakfast options and can be found at street food stalls across the city.
Misal Pav
Misal Pav is another popular Maharashtrian breakfast dish, consisting of spicy sprouted lentil curry, called Misal, served with Pav bread and topped with crunchy sev, chopped onions, and lemon wedges. There are many variations of Misal Pav, depending on the spice level and ingredients used with the most popular variations being Kolhapuri Misal, Puneri Misal, and Khandeshi Misal.
Kheema Pav
Kheema Pav is a delicious street food delight that consists of spicy minced meat (kheema) served with pav. The minced meat is cooked with a variety of aromatic spices, onions, tomatoes, and sometimes green peas, and is usually served with a wedge of lemon and chopped onions on top. It can be enjoyed as a quick snack or a filling meal.
Dabeli
Dabeli is a popular street food dish that originated in the Kutch region of Gujarat. It is a type of sandwich made with a pav stuffed with a spiced potato mixture, pomegranate seeds, roasted peanuts, and sev (a crunchy, fried noodle-like snack), topped with a special dabeli masala, tamarind chutney, and spicy garlic chutney. The pav is then toasted with butter and served hot.
Puris & Chaats
Puri is another popular variety of street food in Mumbai that consists of deep-fried puffed bread made from wheat flour stuffed with a spicy potato-based curry known as “aloo sabzi,” along with various chutneys and pickles. Puris are typically eaten by breaking the puri and scooping up the curry with it. Here are some of the most popular variations you’ll find in Mumbai.
Panipuri
Pani puri is a popular snack that consists of three parts- crispy puris, a mixture of boiled potatoes, chickpeas, onions, and spices, and a tangy/spicy dipping sauce which is basically water mixed with tamarind, mint, and other spices. Some popular places to try pani puri in Mumbai include Elco Market, Juhu Beach, and Ghatkopar Khau Galli.
Bhelpuri
Bhelpuri, another popular puri snack made with puffed rice (similar to jhal muri), sev (thin fried noodles), peanuts, diced onions, tomatoes, and tangy tamarind chutney. Bhelpuri is a light and refreshing dish that is commonly eaten as a mid-day snack or as an appetizer before the main course. Some of the best places to try bhelpuri in Mumbai include Juhu Beach, Girgaon Chowpatty, and Chembur Market.
Sevpuri
Sevpuri is another popular snack that looks like an open version of pani puri mixed with bhelpuri. This snack comprises crispy puris filled with diced boiled potatoes, onions, tomatoes, and a variety of chutneys, topped with sev and coriander leaves.
Dahi Puri
Dahipuri is a beloved street food snack in Mumbai, made with small crispy puris filled with mashed potatoes, onions, and a blend of spices, topped with sweetened curd (yogurt), tamarind chutney, and sev (thin fried noodles). It looks like a split open pane puri mixed with sweet, tangy, and spicy flavors.
Sev Batata Puri
Sev Batata Puri is just like Sevpuri but with an additional layer of mashed boiled potatoes. It is made with crispy puris filled with mashed potatoes, onions, and chutneys, topped with sev (thin fried noodles), diced tomatoes, and coriander leaves.
Deep-Fried Snacks
Now, we’ve gotten to the favorite part of the city’s street food scene for most Mumbai locals, the deep-fried street food snacks.
Batata Vada
Batata Vada is a popular street food snack in Mumbai, consisting of mashed boiled potatoes mixed with spices and dipped in a flour batter before being deep-fried until golden brown- it’s actually the very same potatoes used in the previously discussed vada pav but it can also be eaten on its own (it’s Mumbai’s version of aloo tikki). The crispy potato balls are then served with green chutney and sometimes sandwiched between a pav.
Samosa
Samosa is one of the most popular Indian pastries (well actually not only Indian, many countries fight for who has the best samosa but that’s a story for a different time) and a snack that doesn’t require any introduction. It’s a crispy fried pastry filled with spicy potatoes, peas, onions, and sometimes other vegetables or meat (even though in India, the meat version is not very common).
Kachori
Kachori is a popular deep-fried snack that originates from Rajasthan but is popular across the country, and Mumbai is no exception. It’s a crispy pastry filled with a mixture of spiced lentils, peas, or potatoes, and is often served with tamarind or green chutney.
Pakoda
is one of the most popular fritters on the Indian subcontinent. It has many names, including pikora, pakora, pakodi, bhaji, bora, chop, and ponako. It consists of a mixture of vegetables (but mainly onions and potatoes) coasted in gram flour batter and deep fried.
Aloo Tikki
Aloo tikki is another popular street food snack from North India that became very popular in Mumbai. It’s made by shallow-frying a mixture of mashed potatoes, spices, and sometimes peas or lentils, until golden brown and crispy on the outside. Just like all other deep fried snacks, this one also usually comes with its faithful companion- the tamarind/mint chutney, and a sprinkle of chaat masala.
Sandwiches
Sandwiches are a popular snack worldwide in countries with a street food scene and that’s the case in Mumbai too. They’re a bit different of the sandwiches you might be used to as they heavily use local spices in ingredients, though.
Bombay Sandwich
The Bombay sandwich is a snack that is very popular among the city’s Parsi community made by layering sliced vegetables, such as tomatoes, onions, and cucumbers, between crispy slices of bread that are spread with chutney.
Akuri On Toast
Akuri on toast is one of Mumbaikars’ favorite breakfast. It’s a simple dish- it consists of scrambled eggs cooked with a bunch of Indian spices and served on toast. The eggs also are mixed with veggies like onions, tomatoes, green chilies, and coriander.
Baida Roti
Although not really a sandwich, in a lack of better categorization, we chose to include Baida Roti here. This hearty dish is basically a flattened egg-filled pastry that once assembled is deep-fried until crispy and golden brown. The most common filling is spiced ground meat (and some vegetables) and served with a side of – you guessed it mint or coriander chutney (when I look at it now, it actually slightly resembles a spicier version of burek).
Maggi Sandwich
Well, it’s not exactly a classic culinary pairing, I understand why it became a big hit- because it includes two of India’s favorite staples- Maggi noodles and bread. Yes, you read that right. It’s basically a sandwich filled with Maggi noodles and cheese. Some even say it’s the ultimate hangover cure. Either way, if you’re feeling adventurous or craving some extra carbs, give it a try. It might just change your life. Or, at least your taste buds.
Rolls & Pizzas
Street food in Mumbai has taken classic dishes like rolls and pizzas and gave them a unique Mumbai twist. I’m talking a crispy pizza with toppings like spicy paneer, tandoori chicken, and the always present chutney instead of tomato sauce. And that’s just the beginning…
Frankie Rolls
Listen up, foodies! If you’re in Mumbai, you simply can’t miss out on the iconic Frankie rolls, a warm, buttery naan stuffed with juicy chunks of chicken or paneer, tangy sauces, and spicy veggies. They’re hearty, tasty, fulfilling, and easy to eat on the go – perfect for the busy streets of Mumbai. You can find these Frankie stalls in many different parts of the city (it’s not a specific store or a chain).
Chicken Tikka Roll
Chicken tikka roll is one of India’s most popular snacks and that’s the case in Mumbai too. I feel it doesn’t need special introduction but in case you’re not familiar with it, it’s a soft, warm naan bread, stuffed with juicy chunks of marinated chicken tikka, and topped off with crunchy onions, fresh coriander, and a lot of spices. The perfect combination of sweet, sour, and spicy flavors, this roll is guaranteed to leave you wanting more.
Pizza Sev
Now, it’s time to try you’ve never tried before, one of Mumbai’s unique street food creation – Pizza Sev, an exciting snack that combines the crispy goodness of sev with traditional pizza toppings. It’s not everyone’s cup of tea I get it, and some Italians might even get a little bit angry, but it’s actually surprisingly tasty. Maybe because I just love sev too much!
Pizza Dosa
If the pizza sev didn’t anger the Italians, I’m sure the pizza dosa will. This is exactly what it sounds- a pizza made using dosa as a base. It’s light, it’s crispy, it looks like a pizza but when you take a bite you realise that it’s not. However, it’s mouthwatering enough to make you keep eating until you finish the whole thing. So why settle for plain old dosa when you can have the best of both worlds with Pizza Dosa?
Matka Pizza Dadar
Ok, Italians, don’t take this personal, I promise it’s the last one. Matka Pizza is a unique dish that originates from Mumbai’s Dadar neighborhood. This pizzeria, if we can call it that took the concept of Italian pizza and gave it a desi makeover by baking it in a clay pot, or “matka”. So, it’s kind of like a pizza (this one tastes more like pizza than the other two, to be fair), you just eat it from a pot (or a big muffin maker if it makes you feel better that way).
South Indian & Dosa Variations
Geographically, Mumbai might not be in South India but that doesn’t mean you can’t find South Indian food here…
Idli
Idli, is one of South India’s most popular snacks and as such must be included in Mumbai’s street food with all the love Mumbaikars have for street food. It’s basically a steamed rice cake with a thick almost crispy consistency, it’s healthy, gluten free, and light, making it a perfect snack. It’s made with a fermented batter of rice and lentils and served with a variety of chutneys and sambar, a flavorful lentil soup because the cake is pretty flavorless on its own.
Dosa
Dosa, a quintessential South Indian dish, no scratch that, the most South Indian dish has become a beloved street food everywhere in India, including Mumbai as well. This kind of a pancake/crepe (in lack of a better description) is made of fermented batter of rice and lentils, it has very crispy texture, it’s low-fat, gluten-free, and rich in nutrients. You can also find modern takes on this traditional dish like cheese dosa, paneer dosa, and masala dosa.
Mysore Masala Dosa
Mysore Masala Dosa, a popular variant of the traditional dosa. It’s also crispy, savory, uses the same ingredients, and has all the elements of a normal dosa. The only difference is that this dosa is smeared with a fiery red chutney (you can see the red dots on the photo) and filled with a spiced potato and onion mixture.
Cheese Burst Dosa
We briefly touched on this when discussing dosa and this is a uniquely Mumbai invention and dare I say this twist of flavors with the melted cheese and flavorful spices is actually better than the original dosa. The creamy and savory filling pairs perfectly with the tangy tomato and coconut chutney served alongside it.
Medu Vada
Medu vada, also known as urad dal vada, is a popular South Indian street food snack made with a batter of urad dal (type of lentils), seasoned with curry leaves, cumin, and other spices, hand-shaped into a doughnut-like form, and deep-fried until crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. This protein-packed snack is often served with coconut chutney or sambar and is a great way to start your day.
Upma
Upma is a popular South Indian dish that has become a staple breakfast item in Mumbai. It is a savory porridge-like dish made from semolina, enriched with mustard seeds, curry leaves, and often garnished with crumbled peanuts or other nuts like cashews, and grated coconut. It is served, of course, with chutney or sambar (I feel like I don’t even have to say this anymore as most dishes are).
Meat/Fish-Based
This guide to street food in Mumbai couldn’t be complete without covering some of the city’s most popular meat and fish-based delights…
Kebab
Kebabs in Mumbai are made by marinating (with Indian spices) and grilling chunks of meat, typically chicken, mutton, or beef, on skewers over charcoal. So, they are a bit different than the Turkish/Balkan/Central Asian versions. These kebabs have a much stronger smell, are spicy, and are served with mint chutney and sliced onions.
Tandoori Delicacies
Tandoori snacks are some of the most beloved street food delicacies in Mumbai that. They’re rich in aromatic spices and have a distinguished smoky flavors. Some of the most common tandoori snack include tandoori chicken, tandoori kebabs, chicken tikka, tandoori fish, and other types of meat prepared in a traditional clay oven (tandoor).
Momos
Momos are the dumplings that stole everyone’s hearts in a bite and quickly became one of the most popular street food snacks in India (even though they don’t originate from here) ! Mumbai’s streets (like most other cities in India) are home to many street vendors dishing out hot and juicy momos from their steaming baskets. You can find veg momos, chicken momos, paneer momos, potato momos, less commonly, pork momos or beef momos, and even sweet momos.
Bombay Duck Fry
This one is a bit confusing because despite the name, the Bombay Duck isn’t a duck at all, but a type of fish found in the Arabian Sea coated in a spicy batter and then deep-fried until crispy and golden. It’s usually topped with a red spicy sauce and small chunks of garlic.
Fish Koliwada
Fish Koliwada is another popular Mumbai fish-based street food. Similar to the Bombay duck it’s marinated (in spicy batter) and deep-fried until crunchy. The dish was first spotted in Mumbai’s Koli, hence the name Koliwada.
Fish Tikka
Looking for a tasty and healthy seafood snack? Try Mumbai’s famous fish tikka! Made with succulent pieces of fish marinated cooked to perfection over a hot grill, this dish is sure to leave your taste buds craving for more.
Fish Pakoda
If you’re a fish lover, you cannot miss the lip-smacking fish pakodas in Mumbai! As the name suggests, this is basically the same pakoda we previously discussed except it uses fish instead of vegetables but everything else, including the batter, marinade, and preparation, and even serving method (with chutney, of course) is the same.
Crab Masala
Crab masala is a popular coastal delicacy made with fresh crabs cooked in a spicy tomato gravy, coriander, cumin, and chili powder. I know that crab meat and a bunch of masala doesn’t sound like the best combo in the world but trust me it tastes better than it sounds and it’s a must for seafood lovers.
Other Dishes/Uncategorized
We’ve come to that part of our guide to street food in Mumbai where we cover street food delights that are just as tasty as the ones we already mentioned but don’t fall under any other category.
White Biryani
White Biryani is a unique and flavorful dish that includes making biryani with fragrant basmati rice, tender meat or vegetables, and a blend of aromatic spices. And no, it’s not normal biryani with less spices they actually use milk, cream or yogurt to give the biryani its white colour that sets it apart.
Kanda Poha
Kanda Poha is a popular Maharashtrian breakfast dish that doesn’t really fit in any of the other categories. It’s a simple dish made of flattened rice flakes, onions, and spices. It’s served with freshly squeezed lemon and green chillies. A little bit spicy for breakfast if you ask me but a tasty treat nevertheless.
Khichdi
Khichdi is one of India’s favorite comfort dishes, enjoyed across the country. Mumbai’s twist on this culinary darling is a unique one; Khichdi is usually made with rice, lentils, and a variety of vegetables and spices. It’s a wholesome, simple and yet nutritious meal. Mumbai’s Khichdi is the perfect meal for when you’re feeling under the weather or just need a little pick-me-up.
Chinese Bhel
Chinese Bhel is a quintessential Mumbai street food that brilliantly fuses Chinese flavors with Indian-style snacking. With crispy fried noodles, fresh veggies, and tangy sauces, it’s a perfect munchie to satisfy your cravings.

It’s like a party in your mouth, and everyone’s invited – the crunchy, the zesty, and the oh-so-tasty!
Ragda-Pattice
Ragda Pattice is another dish that features crispy potato patties topped with a flavorful ragda (dried peas curry), tamarind chutney, chopped onions, coriander, and sev- a little bit liquid and messy but extremely tasty.
Chinese Thali
The Chinese Tali is a culinary delight that can be found in many street food stalls and restaurants across Mumbai. It is like the Indian tali except it combines pocket size portions of different Chinese dishes (instead of Indian ones), including noodles, fried rice, Manchurian, chilly chicken, and more.
Bhutta
Bhutta is a simple dish, basically a roasted corn on the cob, no different than the one you get in many other places, except for some places that infuse it with masala and other spices (but I still prefer the normal version).
Aloo Handi
Aloo Handi is a mouth-watering street food that originates from the streets of Mumbai that closely resembles Delhi’s beloved aloo chaat but it also feels to me like an Indian vegetarian version of tacos. It is essentially a mixture of potato and onion cooked in a traditional clay pot or handi garnished with a variety of spices and served with very nice crunchy buns. The name “handi” comes from the clay pot in which the dish is cooked.
Desserts

This delicious dessert is made by layering vermicelli noodles, sweet basil seeds, and flavored syrup over cold milk or ice cream. The dish is often topped with nuts and rose petals, making it even more refreshing.
Paan
Paan is technically not a dessert but a popular after-meal digestive in India but we include it here because it’s mildly sweet and you eat it after main course. It is made by wrapping betel leaf around a mixture of areca nut, tobacco, and spices. But that’s the traditional paan. In Mumbai, you can find paan in many different flavors and styles, from chocolate to strawberry to mango. There’s even a fire paan that is lit on fire before it’s served (by served I mean shoved in your mouth by the vendor)!
Kulfi
Kulfi is an Indian frozen dessert made with creamy, rich milk and a variety of flavors such as pistachio, mango, and rose. The best part? It’s available in a variety of forms, from the traditional kulfi stick to kulfi falooda and even kulfi milkshakes.
