    Where
    Pavement stall on Mahatma Gandhi Road at Kala Ghoda, near Jehangir Art Gallery, Fort, Mumbai 400001

    A pavement cart rather than a shop. Ask for the veg toast done over coal, not the untoasted one, and go easy on the cheese. Allow ten minutes at lunchtime, and carry small notes.

    Where
    Shop 12, Kala Darshan, M G Cross Road No. 3, near Saraswat Bank, Kandivali West, Mumbai 400067

    The far suburbs do the sandwich as a cheese monument rather than a footpath snack. Order the aloo masala toast and leave the chocolate ones alone. One sandwich feeds two, and waits run long.
