From Nepal to Mumbai: Four Friends Spark Ramen Craze in Versova

In a city renowned for its street food culture, Mumbai’s culinary scene has witnessed a surprising twist. Ramen, the Japanese noodle dish, has captured the taste buds of Mumbaikars, overshadowing traditional favourites like Vada Pav. What started as a venture among friends has now blossomed into a sensation at Harry Pan Asian Corner. Located amidst Mumbai’s bustling street food hubs, Harry Pan Asian Corner has introduced locals to the flavours of Japan with its delectable Ramen offerings. The stall, founded by four friends, has quickly become a hotspot for those seeking a departure from the usual spicy and tangy fare Mumbai is known for.

Ramen, renowned for its colourful variety, combines noodles and savoury broth with an array of unique ingredients. At this bustling stall, priced starting at Rs 160, ramen enthusiasts can savour bowls brimming with vegetables like egg, chicken, cabbage, capsicum, and mushroom. In addition to traditional offerings, the stall features a tantalising twist: momos ramen. Despite being launched just days ago, the stall has already become a nightly hotspot, open from 4 pm to 11 pm, drawing eager crowds eager to indulge in these flavourful creations.

The stall earned a special place in patrons’ hearts for its delightful flavours, bringing joy to every palate. If you’re craving something distinctive and satisfying, ramen promises to be an excellent choice for your culinary adventure.

Four friends hailing from Nepal ignited a Ramen sensation in Mumbai’s Versova neighborhood with their handcrafted delicacies. After arriving in Mumbai, they initially worked various jobs before launching their own venture due to financial constraints, delighting locals with authentic Japanese fast food.

“We wanted to bring something different to the table,” says one of the founders, reflecting on their journey from friends with a passion for food to entrepreneurs offering a taste of Asia in Mumbai. The response has been overwhelming, with patrons praising the authenticity and freshness of the Ramen served.

While Mumbai’s love affair with Vada Pav remains strong, the emergence of Ramen as a favoured street food highlights the city’s diverse palate and its openness to global culinary influences. As Harry Pan Asian Corner continues to draw crowds eager to savour its unique offerings, it underscores Mumbai’s status as a melting pot of flavours from around the world.
