Best places for Vada Pav in Pune

Vada pav, the tangy, tasty India’s own burger is a delicious snack of bread with fried potato and chutney. This most loved street snack of the Puneites and the Mumbaikers has some political significance too, much to our surprise. It is said that the political party Shiv Sena worked hard on pushing this dish to deal with the influx of South Indian restaurants in Maharashtra. So vada pav stalls were started outside the factories so that workmen could have this local and inexpensive delicacy without looking for any alternatives. Best inexpensive option for the students coming from outside the state and the office goers, Vada pav when served with hot and spicy garlic chutney can replace a meal all together, especially when you are running out of money.

 

Here is a guide to the Best places for Vada Pav in Pune:
  • Priyadarshan Snacks
Located between Marathwada College and BMCC Colleg, it ensures its popularity among collegians. Served with green chutney and chilies vada pav is simply awesome here.
