1) Ashok Vada Pav

This stall, located near Dadar’s Kirti College, has been attracting customers for over 35 years. They have been serving only one type of vada pav over the years but have kept the quality just the same and the demand is absolutely overwhelming. From Madhuri Dixit, Jackie Shroff to Sonu Nigam and Sushmita Sen, all have come to this stall and eaten. Open between 11 am to 9:30 pm, they serve their vada pav at `15.

3) Graduate Vada Pav

Located outside Byculla station, for around 20 years this stall has never been seen empty.

5) Gajanan Vada Pav

Started in 1978, this is one of the most famous joints in Thane. It personifies the phrase ‘Simple, yet special’.

The hot vada pav with this chutney just makes it a different experience.
