Mumbai is a city which is truly cosmopolitan and these influences can also be seen in the street food of Mumbai. As Mumbai attracted migrants during its growth, the migrants brought along their cuisine. The people from Southern India brought along the Dosa which comfortably made a presence felt in the Mumbai street food scene. Dosa is a very versatile dish as the essentials remain the same but it can produce a lot of variety by what is put on top of it.
