Vada Pav, also known as the Bombay Burger, is a popular street food in Mumbai, India. This iconic snack consists of a spicy potato fritter (vada) sandwiched between a soft bun (pav) and served with a fiery red chutney. The history of Vada Pav dates back to the 1960s when it was created by Ashok Vaidya, a street food vendor in Dadar, Mumbai. The dish quickly gained popularity and became a staple in the city's culinary scene. Today, the best Vada Pav can be found in the bustling streets of Mumbai, where vendors compete to perfect the balance of flavors in the spicy chutney and the potato vada.
