Order Two vada pavs with red garlic chutney and a fried green chilli.
The Vaidya family stall outside Dadar Station has sold vada pav at the same platform since Ashok Vaidya invented the format in 1966. Narendra now runs it.
Order Cheese pav bhaji with extra butter and a glass of solkadhi.
Sardar at the Tardeo bus depot has been the Mumbai pav bhaji benchmark for decades. Butter swims on the griddle; the masala is hot and the pav is buttered.
Order Mutton seekh in a baida roti and a chicken tikka roll for the road.
The original Bademiya street stall on Tulloch Road has cooked seekh kebabs over charcoal since 1946. Open until 03:00; the after-club queue runs deep most.

Order Ragda pattice and a round of dahi puri.
