We tried a sample from a new breakfast-oriented joint in Bandra that serves local fare. Our verdict: fun, but not fantastic

Yeh Bombay mein sab vada pav kyun kha te hain? For a non-Mumbaikar, at first glance, this may not seem like a wholly misplaced stereotype. The streets, the railway station platforms and the city, in general, are replete with thelawalas serving the popular snack. But, a few months into your stay in the maximum city and you'll surely discover an expanse of Mumbai's foodscape that extends far beyond the peripheries of vada pav. Interestingly, in 2015, at the FoodieHub Awards in London, misal pav was recognised as the world's tastiest vegetarian dish. The accolade was consigned to Dadar's iconic Maharashtrian joint, Aaswad, where the misal is truly deserving of praise.
