Paan is always a highly debatable topic in India. On one hand, you don’t want to eat supari and on the other, you can’t resist that mitha paan. Don’t lie to yourself because who hasn’t queued up at the paan counter after eating a sumptuous buffet at every Indian wedding ever. It’s minty, it’s fresh and it most definitely is yummy. Amitabh Bachchan agrees, so who are we to say no? So, we rounded up a list of the best paan shops in Mumbai.
1. Gourmet Chocolate Paan At Le Paan, Multiple Outlets
Never thought we’d see paan getting a “gourmet” twist but that is exactly what you get at Le Paan. Their Chocolate Gourmet Paan is a mitha paan with a generous coating of high-quality chocolate truffle on the outside. Besides this contemporary creation, they also have a Benarasi Paan and Premium Nutty Paan on the menu which is stuffed with dry fruits.
Address – Multiple outlets
We recommend – Gourmet Chocolate Paan, Price on request
2. Sugar-Free Paan At The Paan Story, Mahim 70
It is difficult to eat a Sadha Paan because it has a lot of betel nuts (supari) in it. So, the easier alternative is the mitha paan but if you are diabetic and are upset that you can’t indulge in it then don’t worry because The Paan Story has come up with a sugar-free paan which is perfect for people who don’t want an overload of sugar.
Address – The Paan Story, Shop 4, Ground Floor, Terrace Building, CHSL 30, LJ Road, Mahim, Mumbai
Contact – +91 8926200300
We recommend – Sugar-free Paan, ₹70 (Exclusive of taxes)

3. Mitha Paan At CPAAN, Multiple Outlets
How can we fail to mention the classic mitha paan? CPAAN with its various outlets makes a great version of it. Stuffed with dry fruits, gulkand, saunf and more, this one is a mouthful.

4. Chocolate Paan At Jagdish Chaurasia Pan Bhandar, Multiple Outlets
Chocolate paans are all the rage these days because what is better than a mitha paan? A paan coated in chocolate, of course. And that’s not all, they also have a Kala Khatta Paan and a Rasmalai Paan on their menu. Go figure!

7. Ganga Jamuna Paan At Mucchad Pan Wala, Multiple Outlets
Mucchad Pan Wala got its unique name because of the family who runs this place. The men in the family have pretty well-groomed moustaches, hence the name. And their paans get the same amount of love and care as their moustaches do.

8. Mango Paan At Paan World Cafe, Multiple Outlets
Another paan shop with a weirdly whacky name, Paan World Cafe is home to a variety of fruity paans. Out of these, our favourite is the mango paan which has a sticky and sweet coating of mango on the outside.
Address – Multiple outlets
We recommend – Mango Paan, ₹55 (Exclusive of taxes
9. Strawberry Mitha Paan At Tiwari Pan Wala, Multiple Outlets
We really have a thing for fruit paans and therefore the Strawberry Paan at Tiwari’s gets our vote. But if you want to try something extremely unique, try their Sexy Ladies Paan. We haven’t had it but if you have, do let us know what you think about it.
