Mumbai's most iconic street food, made fresh on the tawa every single day at Chef Paaji. Spiced mashed vegetable bhaji is served alongside soft buttered pav buns, fresh onions, and a wedge of lime.
Pav Bhaji is the dish that defines Mumbai's late-night food scene, and our version honours that tradition. Boiled potatoes, cauliflower, peas, bell peppers, tomatoes and onions are mashed and slow-cooked on a flat tawa with house-made pav bhaji masala until rich, buttery and deeply spiced.
We serve the bhaji piping hot with soft pav buns griddled in butter, a sprinkle of finely chopped onions, fresh cilantro and a wedge of lime. It is the kind of dish that turns a quick stop into a full meal — and a regular Chef Paaji habit for Winnipeg's vegetarian crowd.

"Came in for late-night eats and was blown away. The pav bhaji is rich without being heavy, and the portion is huge. Chutney on the side is a great touch."
