" My experience at POPpadum was delightful! I went there on a whim, enticed by the inviting decor and delicious smells. The samosa puff was crispy and packed with flavors, easily one of the best I've had! The vada pav was equally impressive, reminding me of the street food back home. Friendly service and a cozy atmosphere make it a great spot. I will definitely return to try more items from their menu! " (*Curated Review*)

" My recent visit to POPpadum was quite fulfilling! The ambience reminded me of Mumbai, bustling yet welcoming. The vada pav was authentic, a perfect blend of spices accompanied by their homemade chutneys. The masala fries had the right amount of kick, and I also tried their special gulab jamun tiramisu, which was a unique take on a classic dessert. The staff's service was excellent, attentive without being intrusive. Definitely, my new go-to spot for Indian snacks in Toronto! " (*Curated Review*)

" Having tried many Indian restaurants in Toronto, POPpadum stands out for its authentic take on traditional dishes. Their vada pav is one of the best I’ve had outside of India—spicy, crispy, and the chutney brought everything together perfectly. The atmosphere is casual yet lively. The service was a bit slower than I would have liked, but I believe it's due to the lunchtime rush. I would definitely return for the flavors! " (*Curated Review*)

" Discovering POPpadum was a delightful surprise! This small eatery captures the essence of authentic Maharashtra street food. Their vada pav is the highlight, perfectly spicy with a soft, fresh pav that melts in your mouth. The atmosphere is cozy, yet bustling, reminiscent of street vendors back home. I also tried the samosa puff which was crispy and full of flavor. The staff were friendly, making us feel right at home. I can't wait to return and explore more of their menu! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had an amazing time at POPpadum! The misal pav was divine—spicy and flavorful with freshly made pav that was soft as a cloud. I also tried their samosa puff, and it was packed with a delicious mix of potatoes and spices. The staff were very helpful with suggestions on what to order. My only complaint is that the place is a bit small, so it can get crowded quickly. Still, absolutely worth a visit for anyone craving authentic Indian food. " (*Curated Review*)

" I enjoyed my meal at POPpadum much more than I anticipated! The vada pav was fantastically spicy, and the pav was soft and fluffy. I also loved their unique offering of gulab jamun tiramisu.
