Useful Tips

If you have more time, check out other Mumbai street food favorites such as Vada Pav and Pav Bhaji at Juhu Beach, or seek out local food tours in different neighborhoods. If you have less time, consider skipping Bandra or Parsi Colony and exploring more street food in South Mumbai. Make sure to bring cash, as many local street food vendors do not accept cards. Also, stay hydrated and carry hand sanitizer.
