History of the Popular Mumbai Snack

When you say Mumbai snacks immediately you think of the mouth watering delicious Vada Pav!!

The credit for inventing the rustic and mouth-watering Vada Pav goes to Ashok Vaidya. In the 1960s, Balasaheb Thackeray appealed to Maharashtrians to become entrepreneurs the way South Indians had by setting up Udupi restaurants. This inspired Vaidya to set up a stall outside Dadar Station (1966) through which hundreds and thousands of workers passed every day on their way to the textile mills in suburban areas such as Parel and Worli. He began selling Vada and Poha alongside a stall that sold Omelet Pav.

Once, he experimented and placed a Vada between Pav along with some chutney to add more flavor. The result of the experiment-Vada Pav-became an instant hit in no time.
