Assembling a Vada Pav - Bun (pav ), Butter, Green Chutney, Masala powder, Potato patty ( vada ) takes less than 10 seconds ...
"Vada Pav" is the street food Mumbai survives on ... and "Anand Vada Pav" opposite Mithibhai College, near Narsee Monjee is definitely the best I've had.
Bombay Times official annual Vada Pao ranking gives it the runner's up position ... which is not bad considering there are over 5,000 Vada Pav street stalls in Mumbai !!!
There's even been an attempt to McDonaldize the humble Vada Pav with the launch of Jumbo King ... should be an interesting case study on how to sustain a business with razor thin margins competing with street vendors who have almost no overhead costs. While they may have scale ... their product lacks the necessary zing which titillates the taste buds ... street vendors like Anand know how to pack in that punch !!!
There are some other places, located in the hidden corners of Mumbai that serves some amazing street side delicacies. . If tasting food is your thing, you can check out these lesser known places - http://www.mumbaikar.com/en/ -here!

I can take it it as a snack once or twice a year. I always wondered what people in Mumbai finds in it to have it so many times a day. After all, Pav is made of bread and potato.
