Have You Tried Mumbai’s Most Unique Street Sandwiches?

For instance, if you look closely at sandwich stalls on the street, you’ll notice that many creative street vendors have put their own unique twists on traditional sandwich ingredients. The result? Bizarre sounding sandwiches that are completely and undeniably addictive. Take a look at some of our favourites.

The Chocolate Sandwich

No, it’s not the same as spreading Nutella on toast. These sandwiches consist of heaps of shaved chocolate topped with chocolate syrup enfolded in two slices of bread. It’s heaven in a bite.

Paneer Masala Toast

The traditional sandwich gets a desi twist when the makers replace cheese with paneer. It’s soft, crumbly and deliciously decadent.
