Guy comes for just a couple of hours during the afternoon/evening.
If coming from town, take a left at mela, U turn park your cark at the corner & walk inside the one way. He is next to the pani puri wallah, who i understand does good business from the overflow as does the sandwichwalla.
But to the basics, he has vada, soft crunchy put in the soft pau with red chilli powder & handed over hot & sizzling. If you need another & do not want to wait, have the bhajjiya which are just as good.

Having heard that the vadapav guy beside the petrol pump was the best in town, I actually made two trips to the hath gadi just to find that in the morning this spot is occupied by the paani puri wallah. Finally I figured that this guy comes in at around four in the evening and within a space of two hours is all cleaned out.
I must say I find the idea of Vada pav quite revolting. According to me, the most beautiful batata wada has unwittingly become this bastardised iconic dish of Mumbai. So in all fairness, let me confess that I have never had the vada pav - only the pav. Of course the wada did live upto its reputation spicy but not deadly with a crisp outer covering (but having the opportunity of making wadas at home, I cannot say that this is one wada I would go a hundred miles for.) fried right in front of you.
But I must vouch for the man's level of hygiene. At no time have any of my friends gone down with a bad tummy which is a lot to be said for a road side stall. And also the fact that he has no left overs speaks volumes for his popularity. So while vadapave is not my favourite dish, this guys vadas are definitely worth a bite.
