A Mumbai street side icon, now telling its story at Kahaani.
Our Pav Bhaji is slow cooked with spiced vegetables, finished with butter, and served with soft toasted pav messy, bold, nostalgic, and made to be shared.
It’s the kind of dish that doesn’t need cutlery, just good company.
Now on the new menu at Kahaani.
