They could be from Delhi as well, or any other metropolitan city in the country. Doesn't necessarily have to be Mumbai. My point would still apply.
The original commenter's place of origin wouldn't really change the substance of what I said - has Delhi not renamed an entire host of places/roads that fall within its territory?
As I said, a bit odd that people (most likely belonging to Tier I cities) only take examples from certain states in such threads, acting as if the politics behind renaming older institutions/roads/cities hasn't caused the greatest violence in their own cities.
Lucknow chaats are so bad, they shouldn't be included in the discussion even. In Lucknow, they just put colourful bhujiya, sweet chutney and be happy about it.
We can actually add Agra, Kolkata and Jodhpur to this discussion. Varanasi too, not for anything fancy but just because of the crustness of their kachoris.
That's a bit rich coming from someone who lives in a city whose politicians have rioted for Bombay's name to be changed to Mumbai - multiple times and have done the same also if someone mentions their city by its older name in a movie.
Wasn't Victoria Terminus changed to Chhatrapati Shivaji?
It's always interesting how such charges of chauvinism are kept reserved for certain northern states.
Kebab's of Matiamahal (Jama Masjid) are overrated. Most of the famous eateries serve just one kind of it- Seekh Kebabs. It's hard to find good Kakori, Shami, Galawati and Majlisi kebab there.
Lul Banglur has negligible street food scene. I couldn't find anything open at 11pm in MG Road - Brigade Road, I shudder to think about less sparser areas.
Actually more than bread the pao is Mumbai's favourite, which is the influence of the Portugese who held much of Bombay before the British. The white bread may have been the British influence.
While I prefer Mumbai as a city - primarily because of the people, the liveliness and the sea - I really find Mumbai's street food overrated. If I had to eat bread and vegetarian - why would I even go out? Ghar pe hi khaa lun
Also, out of general curiosity - white bread as a part of local food - is it a British legacy? Because I've personally never seen white bread being a part of any other local Indian cuisine (we have our Indian variants of roti, kulcha, luchi, naan etc. usually).
In the world of Delhi versus Bombay, be a Lucknowite. The modern version of chaat originated from Uttar Pradesh. Try Lucknow chaat and you will forget everything else.

Kolkata has the cheapest and best fastfood I've ever had - and I'm from Gujarat. Takes a lot for a Gujarat to accept that.
Pub scene and tiffin scene is excellent though.
DP - Delhi
