Best for: Authentic Indian street food
If you want a snack that packs a punch, The Tava Shop on the High Street is unparalleled. Specializing in Mumbai-style street food, this spot has earned a cult following for its Vada Pav, which is a spicy potato fritter nestled in a soft bun that tastes like a direct flight to India.
The Pav Bhaji (a buttery vegetable mash) is another highlight, served with toasted rolls that are perfect for mopping up every last drop of spice. It’s affordable, fast, and intensely flavorful. It’s not just a meal; it’s an immersive experience in authentic herbs and chutneys that puts standard takeaway curry to shame.
