Add tangy Falafel Chaat and masala-spiced Tacos, and you’ve got a foodie adventure that combines the best of both worlds — familiar comfort with daring, global twists. Perfect for food lovers who crave excitement, these fusion delights prove that India’s streets are more creative, playful, and mouth-watering than ever.
Chilli Cheese Vada Pav

Vada Pav, the most beloved snack in Maharashtra, now sells across India, dressed in Italian flavours. The classic potato fritter in a bun is now mixed with chilli and cheese to give it a warm and spicy flavor. The cheese blended with Indian chutney and green chillies creates the perfect balance. This one’s a must-try for spice lovers looking for some levelled-up street food.
Pizza Samosa

Samosa is one of India’s most loved snacks. Available at every other corner, samosas now come with a twist in new flavours. Instead of the regular potato stuffed samosa, the cheesy vegetable stuffing samosa is becoming a crowd favourite. It combines the Indian deep-fried outer crust with Italian pizza-style stuffing that just melts in your mouth. Each bite surprises you with gooey cheese and Italian seasonings inside.
Kulhad Pizza

A must-try Indian twist on pizza, this one took the internet by storm. A kulhad pizza, as the name suggests, is pizza served in a Kulhad (clay cup). It has layers of bread, cheese, and veggies to give you the perfect ‘pizza in a cup’ experience. This gained popularity widely through social media and is now available at every other street stall. If going for safer options while experimenting, this one’s a no-brainer.
Falafel Chat

Falafel, very popular in the Middle East, has eventually gained popularity in India and already has a desi makeover. Instead of going the traditional way, a falafel chaat is topped with tangy chutneys and yogurt, alongside chopped vegetables like onions and tomatoes. To give it that perfect desi chaat flavor, you can also add sev. This is a wholesome yet fun snack that feels familiar but brings something new to the plate.
Masala Tacos

A Mexican classic, tacos have their own fanbase in India too, and as we love experimenting with flavours, we’ve flavoured tacos like our own. Stuffed with masala-spiced paneer and spicy mint chutney, the Indianized version of tacos will leave you craving for more. For even better flavor, top it off with a squeeze of lemon and enjoy the Indian street-style spice and Mexican crunch.
