Street food of Mumbai is a significant aspect of the culture and lifestyle of Mumbai, a city located in the western part of India. The city is renowned for its diverse and vibrant street food scene, which offers a variety of dishes that are influenced by the city's multicultural history.

Overview[edit]

Street food in Mumbai is a blend of traditional Maharashtrian cuisine, with influences from other parts of India and abroad. The city's street food culture is characterized by its accessibility, affordability, and variety. It is common to find food stalls and vendors in almost every corner of the city, serving a wide range of dishes throughout the day and night.
