❓ FAQs — Burgers in Mumbai

What is vada pav and is it a burger?
Vada pav is Mumbai's most beloved street food — a deep-fried spiced potato ball (vada) in a bread roll (pav) with green chutney and red garlic chutney. Invented in Dadar in 1966, it's Mumbai's original burger and sells over 5 million pieces daily across the city.
What is the best premium burger in Mumbai?
For gourmet burgers, Bandra (particularly Hill Road and Linking Road) has the best concentration of quality burger restaurants. McDonald's McAloo Tikki remains the most popular chain.
Why is vada pav called Mumbai's burger?
The structure — a round bread roll split and filled with a round filling and condiments — directly mirrors the burger format. Vada pav is faster, cheaper (₹15–25), and more popular in Mumbai than any McDonald's.
How much does a burger cost in Mumbai?
Vada pav costs ₹15–30. McDonald's and chains charge ₹100–350. Gourmet Bandra burger restaurants cost ₹400–800.
