The City Vadapav Story

It all started by Prabhu Shankarji Prajapati in 2016 with a simple dream – to bring the authentic taste of street-style vadapav to every corner of Gujarat. What began as a small stall in Ahmedabad has now transformed into a beloved brand with loyal customers across the city.

Our founder, driven by passion for authentic flavors and entrepreneurial spirit, experimented with traditional recipes and created the perfect blend of spices that makes our vadapav unique. The secret? Fresh ingredients, perfect timing, and a lot of heart.

The overwhelming response from customers encouraged us to expand. Each outlet opened with the same commitment to quality and taste that made our first stall successful. Today, we're not just serving vadapav – we're creating opportunities for entrepreneurs who share our passion.

Our franchise model is built on the foundation of shared success. We believe in empowering our partners with the knowledge, support, and systems that helped us grow. When you join City Vadapav, you're not just starting a business – you're joining a family.
