It’s hard not to reminisce the days when hopping across the street to our favourite chaat-wale bhaiya was completely a usual thing to do! Do you remember the luxury of stepping out of college to eat your favorite chocolate sandwich or catching on some piping hot vada pav with tapri ka chai after a hard day at work! All of that just seems like a distant dream now!
So while we’re not sure when the lockdown will end and if we’ll ever be able to gather around our favourite food stalls like we used to, we decided to pay a little tribute to these street foods that made our life so much more fulfilling! Top 5 Cities Of India Offering The Best Street Food Ever
Street Foods Of Mumbai We Are Missing
Here are 12 street foods from Mumbai that we are craving right now!
1. Vada Pav
What is Mumbai without its ever-so-loved yet ever-so-humble vada pav right? From the rich to the poor, this piece of art satisfied everyone’s hunger pangs. Freshly fried vadas slipped into the pavs slathered with chutney and the flavorsome garlic chutney! Aah, we can’t wait to get our hands on them SOON!
2. Pav Bhaji
There is nothing that a good plate of pav bhaji can’t cure. The light and delicious bhaji, topped with dollops of Amul butter, finely diced onions and a sprinkle of coriander with a dash of lime. Only to be eaten again with fried buttered pav. Major cravings, right now! 5 Pav Bhaji Places Of Mumbai That Will Deliver At Your Doorstep
3. Misal Pav
Another a proud member of the pav-based street food in Mumbai, we totally miss eating the Misal for breakfast! The crunchiness of the chiwda and sev sprinkled on top of that flavorful and spicy Misal is so heavenly!
4. Momos
Momos, tiny dumplings filled with goodness of our favourite fillings! And the amazing chutney to go along with it! It’s honestly so difficult to live without them now!

Yes, we’ve all tried this at home too. But, the huge double-decker sandwiches, dipped in cheese with our favorite fillings between the two slices of bread is literally comfort food!

Our all-time favourite is the rich, glistening and fulfilling jalebi. A good plate of jalebi is like euphoria for the soul! Especially the mava ones! Gorge On Mumbai’s Biggest Jalebi At Satu’s In Chembur

It’s the season of mangoes and nothing beats a good ol’ Mango Milkshake from the street. Or any milkshake to be honest! The joy of sipping our milkshake in the sweltering heat of the sun is what we miss the most!
10. Pasta
Another dish we’ve tried at home, but there’s something about raste ka pasta that it so delicious, no? Creamy, cheesy and topped with fresh herbs and chilly flakes. That’s how we love our pasta. How do you like yours? Studies Say Eating Pasta Three Times A Week Won’t Make You Fat
