Vada pav is a staple food in Mumbai. Most Mumbaikars have vada pav along with cutting chai almost every day. This savoury street food tastes even better when eaten in the evening after a tiring day at work. For many, it is also a snack to relish while commuting back home from work.
This fried goodness has now become one of the best sandwiches in the world. Taste Atlas, a worldwide food guide famous for its food knowledge recently released a list of the top 50 best tasting sandwiches in the world. Our beloved vada pav secured the 19th position on the list making every Mumbaikar’s chest beam with pride.
