What is the Vada Pav?
Omnipresent on the streets of Mumbai, Vada Pav comprises a fat spiced potato patty within a tender “pav” bun. Different chutneys – sweet or spicy – might accompany the vada pav depending on what’s being offered at the stall, and many vendors put their own special twist to this beloved Bombay Burger.
A few spots to try this treat in Dubai include:
- Chai Pani Cafe in Ghubaiba
- Rangoli in Meena Bazaar and their branch, Rangoli Lite in Oud Metha
- Puranmal (multiple branches)
- Bombay Se in Meena Bazaar
- Vaibhav in Meena Bazaar
