1) Vada Pav
Vada Pav, a popular Mumbai dish if there anytime was one, depends on only two central parts - the Vada and the pav, close by the supporting positions of the chutney and masala clearly. It was Ashok Vaidya who was the Vada Pav pioneer, but it was the Shiv Sena's undertakings to expand it as the snack of the greater part that genuinely dispatch it to its superstar status. Endeavor Ashok Thakur's at Kirti College, Dadar.
2) Bombay Sandwich
This has Bombay in its actual name. The Bombay sandwich consolidates potatoes, cucumbers, tomatoes, beetroot, onions, capsicum, chutney, and cheddar between two richly buttered cuts of white bread, in a Dagwood-commendable bite. For the individuals who are somewhat more specific, the sandwich can be modified whichever way they like: no beetroot? Don't sweat it! Toasted or plain? It's completely fine. Attempt the sandwichwala outside Xavier's school, Dhobi Talao.
3) Pav Bhaji
As per Aakar Patel, the Pao Bhaji was apparently the creation of shrewd road slows down proprietors who were attempting to satisfy the late-night cravings for food of Gujarati merchants in Dalal road, who were exchanging cotton with America and Europe in the nineteenth century. While this could conceivably be the right clarification of its introduction to the world, there isn't anything more Mumbai than this tasty dish - crushed vegetables in a tomato sauce, swimming in a pool of butter, all cleaned up with portions of buttered bread. These days, similar to all the other things, the dish can be altered to your diverse preferences - Jain, paneer, cheddar, and even Cheese Jain adaptations are accessible. Attempt it at Sardar Refreshments, Tardeo.
4) Dahi Sev Puri and Bhel Puri
There are numerous varieties of chaat yet just two that were apparently brought into the world in Mumbai. The first is Bhelpuri, a delicious pish pash of sev, puris, sweet, tart, and fiery chutneys, onions, crude mango, and about six different fixings. Apparently, it was concocted by Vithal Bhelwala (presently shut down, despite the fact that Vithal Family Restaurant is subsidiary to it). The second is Dahi Batata Puri, one of my most loved things on the planet. We underestimate it today, yet whoever was quick to put together mung, channa, potato, chutneys, curd, and sev in a fresh pani puri shell was clearly a type of culinary virtuoso. Try them both at Swati Snacks, Tardeo.
5) Kheema Ghotala
Here's another Irani cafe treasure with a somewhat suggestive name - Kheema Ghotala, a flavorful wreck of mince and eggs. The Parsis and Iranis, consistently devoted to their undying affection for egg and meat, have tracked down a flavorful method for wedding the two. Try it at Cafe Military, Fort.
6) Gobi or Chicken Manchurian
We all know the popular story of how restaurateur Nelson Wang developed the now universal Chicken Manchurian in line with an eager burger joint, way, harking back to the 1970s. Whether or not you trust the story, doubtlessly that Chicken Manchurian (or Gobi Manchurian for vegans) is a Mumbai creation, something incomprehensible in China. Whatever its starting point, Wang has absolutely hit upon a triumphant equation - broiled chicken, blended into a red sauce that is tart with soy and vinegar. Try it at Kamling in Churchgate.
