The Dabbawala System

How tiffin lunches move across the city, and why it works.

In short

Mumbai eats standing up. The city's own food is street food — vada pav, bhel, frankies, kebabs on Mohammed Ali Road — layered over the Koli fishing kitchens that came first, and the Parsi and Irani cafes that shaped how the city has eaten for a century.
