Mumbai The Gate of India With over 20 million people is the largest city in India. A city that never sleeps Full of colours, vibrancy, and energy In this first Mumbai video, I will take you on a street food adventure from the iconic Vada pav, the biggest scrambled eggs I've ever seen to the insane dosa-making show.

a lot of crazy delicious street food Andiamo! To start our day, we're going for breakfast.

Let me stuff it with more crisps It's time to eat it Buon appetito! Oh Oh! Oh my goodness! Mamma mia! So good! Spicy!
