I remember I was back in town from the hostel, and when my brother and I spotted a wedding function, I decided to do something daring and fun, inspired by my favorite scene from 3 idiots.

Yes, you’re right - eating free ka khana! So, I crashed a function, ate food, and cut.

And then I was like, who doesn’t like free ka khana? Okay, I agree that nothing is free in this cruel world, but it can be amazing at reasonable prices, no?

One thing that I am insanely fond of is eating street food. So, whenever I am in a new town/city, I set out to explore famous food places near me. Mumbai was one such place.

It’s no news that Mumbai is home to foodies like me. But knowing famous food places in Mumbai is a task in itself.

From basic Maharashtrian food to continental and Mughlai, the city that never sleeps has everything you’re seeking.

So, allow me to list the most amazing and famous food places in Mumbai.

Gulshan-e-Iran, Crawford Market

Uff... What amazing Mughal specialties they serve and that too amazingly low prices. The best dishes to try out at this place are Kheema Pav, Garlic Naan, Chicken tikka masala, rabdi kulfi, and firni. Gulshan-e-Iran is one of the most famous food places in Mumbai.

Mervan’s Grant Road

Go to this place for mouth-watering eateries like cookies, pastries, and tea cakes to pamper yourself with these sweet dishes. People come to this famous place after work for a soothing cup of tea and freshly baked cookies.

Sahibaan

Visit this amazing place in Worli to eat amazing Chinese food in great quantities. You should not miss out on its dumplings and soups at any cost. This place is armed with fried rice, Manchurian, ice tea, and everything that you love at a price that would leave you in shock.

Amar Juice Center, Vile Parle

You won’t believe this, but when I was 9, I visited Bombay for the first time, and I had Pav Bhaji. Twelve years later, even thinking of that dish gets me drooling. It is that good. They have 15 varieties of Pav Bhaji, so you know it’s basically everything that you are looking for.

All the Vada Pav Vendors in Mumbai

Mumbai aaye aur vada pav nahi khaaya toh kya khaak Mumbai aaye. You literally can’t call it a trip to the city that never sleeps unless you eat vada pav from a vendor.
