Shreeji Stall & Borivali West Khau Galli
The lanes around Borivali West railway station transform at dusk into one of Mumbai's most exuberant street-food corridors. At the heart of it is Shreeji Stall — a legendary spot opposite Prabodhankar Theatre that has been pulling crowds for its inventive takes on Mumbai chaat for decades.
What to eat and where
Shreeji is the anchor of the Borivali West food crawl, famous for its Sev Puri Sandwich — a grilled sandwich stuffed with papdi, sev, multiple chutneys, onion rings, and chopped chillies that fuses two Mumbai street-food classics into one glorious, messy mouthful. The stall is a 5–10 minute walk from Borivali Station, opposite the Prabodhankar Theatre.
Nearby, Harbole Dabeli serves Borivali's most-talked-about dabeli — the Kutchi snack gets a fruit-forward twist here, with pomegranate, grapes, and apple adding a crunchy, sweet punch to the spiced potato filling. For something more substantial, the pav bhaji stalls near the station dish up Special Tawa Pulao and cheese masala pav that locals queue for well into the night.
For the adventurous, Foodie Bites in the Shimpoli area of Borivali West serves a pizza dosa — a crispy dosa base topped with sauces, colourful vegetables, cheese, and mayonnaise — that sounds absurd and tastes magnificent.
When to go and how to graze
The khau galli really comes alive from around 6 PM onwards, when office workers and families pour out of the station and the stalls fire up their tavas. Arrive hungry and graze slowly — the etiquette is to eat standing, pay immediately, and move on to the next stall.
Prices are very affordable; a full chaat crawl covering four or five items rarely costs more than ₹200–300 per person. Cash is king at most stalls, though larger joints increasingly accept UPI payments.
