Street food is
a big hit among the masses in Mumbai.
A foodie’s paradise,
Mumbai’s Khau Gallis offer some of the most lip-smacking street food in the
city. For the uninitiated, in Marathi, khau means treat and galli means
a small lane.
A melting pot of cultures
and refreshingly diverse influences, street food in Mumbai offers a unique
potpourri of flavors that is incredibly satisfying. And Khau Gullies are where
one can feel the pulse of Mumbai’s culinary culture.
One
such place to make you drool is at Kharghar Navi Mumbai. The street near
Utsav Chowk in Kharghar turns
into a fully functional and chaotic Khau Galli in the evenings.
Cost: ₹300-500 for two people
(approx.)
