Best Food in Mumbai

The City of Dreams serves street food dreams — from Chowpatty's legendary pav bhaji to K. Rustom's ice cream sandwiches near Marine Drive.

  • ✦18 curated food spots near Marine Drive, Juhu Beach & Bandra
  • ✦Legendary pav bhaji, ice cream sandwiches & bhel near Chowpatty
  • ✦From Zaveri Bazaar khau galli snacks to Bandra café culture

Mumbai doesn't have a food culture — it has several, running parallel and never quite merging. Street food in Mumbai means Girgaon Chowpatty pav bhaji at 10 PM with butter pooling on the tawa, or a K. Rustom ice cream sandwich on the Marine Drive promenade after dinner. Zaveri Bazaar has its own food world entirely — khamni at Agrawal, bread pudla at Mohan Pudlawala, thick lassi at Bhagat Tarachand that's been there since 1895. This Mumbai food guide covers both the iconic and the overlooked. Dadar West's Khau Galli runs a different circuit from Bandra's cafe streets, and Juhu Beach's pav bhaji stalls are a different experience from Chowpatty's. The city feeds everyone, all the time, without making a fuss about it.
