SNDT to Cross Maiden Khao Gali

Mumbai (Bombay)


A heaven for food lovers, Mumbai’s famous khau galis (literally 'eat lanes') pack in some tantalising street treats, serving up a potpourri of cuisines and historic influences. Students and office workers are lured to the khau galli running from SNDT to Cross Maidan by the popular Bombay Sandwich (a toastie made with cheese, chutney and masala spices) and Frankie (a roti rolled with vegetables).

Stalls such as Hans Ras Mandir and Lenin Pav Bhaji Centre are good bets.
