Why the Vada Pav Is Mumbai’s Best Sandwich

Mumbai is famous for a tasty sandwich that literally no can resist. It’s called vada pav, and it’s full of potato goodness. Imagine a ball of mashed potato deep-fried to golden perfection and served on a pillowy soft bun with a dollop of chutney. It’s the kind of comfort food you can eat for breakfast, for dinner, really any time of the day. Join us as we sample vada pav all over the city—from street stalls to a chain restaurant that has their own twist on the dish.

I like how everyone who watched this video has for some reason grouped together like a medieval army and formed a rebellion against the corporate guy.

I like how this comment section has decided to collectively hate the corporate guy

For those who don't understand why people hate jumboking
It's like buying Domino's Pizza in Italy

You know a sandwich is good when McDonalds tries to make a cheap imitation of it

0:29 "spicy, but not too spicy". Thats probably the first time I've heard a foreigner say that about indian food

"Two vada pavs is as good as one dinner."
You underestimate my stomach. XD

Just love this comment section 😂
1) 10% comments are about how good Vada pavs are
2) 10% on Marathi language being spoken in the video
3) 80% hammering Jumbo King left, right and centre

The McAloo Tikki is no failure. It tastes nothing like a Vada Pav but it's pretty nice on its own.

[rewantk]

Jumbo king is that worst
it's like an illegitimate kid of vada pav

“We have committed that sin so many times.”

This line is straight up chaotic evil.

The Jumboking man looks like the villan in Bollywood movies, they guy that owns a big company and eats paan all day 🤣
