Quick and easy to eat on the go, the vada pav is an indispensable part of street food culture in Bombay. Vendors are found at almost every street corner dishing out this popular snack. It is found typically in Maharashtra and nowhere else.
Vada Pav (also spelled Wada Pav) is an Indian vegetarian fast food commonly eaten in Maharashtra, India. Vada pavs form a breakfast for many of the local people of Maharashtra. It is a snack sold nearly everywhere in Maharashtra. The snack is often served at breakfast and at tea time in many of the region’s small eateries. The Karjat railway station is famed across India for the vada pavs available from vendors on the platforms.
The vada pav was first made when Ashok Vaidya, a snack seller outside Dadar railway station, decided to experiment. The combination of batata vada and split pav continues to be Mumbai’s sledgehammer answer to the burger. Several chains of fast food outlets in India specialise in vada pav including a rapidly growing chain called Jumbo King Vada Pav.
Jumboking Vada Pav is a chain of fast food STEAMPOTRESTAURANTs.
The early phase of liberalization in 2000 saw many western entrants into main stream Indian market. Quality and standards was the norm but the common Indian man was still far to reach out to this attractive but costly product.
