Mumbai Street Food — Vada Pav, Pani Puri, Irani Cafés & Bombay Cuisine

Mumbai street food is one of the world's great street food cultures — the city's position as the primary destination for economic migrants from across India for 150 years has created a food culture that synthesizes the culinary traditions of Maharashtra (the local state), Gujarat, Goa, Karnataka, South India, and the Muslim communities of the city, alongside the distinctive 'Bombay' fusions that emerged from this mixing; the vada pav (the Mumbai-invented spicy potato fritter in a bread roll, the city's unofficial staple food) and the pani puri (the hollow fried wheat shell filled with spiced water and tamarind chutney) are the defining street foods of the city.
