What Ashok Vada Pav is
A legendary stall widely rated among Mumbai's best vada pav, run by Ashok Thakur on the lane by Kirti College since the late 1970s. It is a pure-veg stall. This sits at the easy end of the scale, with most orders landing around ₹15–60.
🥘 The order to make
The signature is the chura pav - crisp fried-batter droplets stuffed into the soft pav along with the potato vada, dry garlic chutney and a fried green chilli on the side.
The counter turns over thousands of pavs a day, and it is a standing stall by design: order at the counter, eat, move on.
🕒 When to come
The posted hours run 11:00 AM to 9:30 PM. Mid-afternoon, between the lunch and evening rushes, the line is shortest.
🧭 Finding it
Ashok Vada Pav is on Kashinath Dhuru Marg, just down from Kirti College, Dadar - Mumbai, Maharashtra.
✅ The short version
Come for one pav with chura, stay for a second. It is a five-minute stop, not a sit-down meal.
