If you're a fan of authentic Indian street food, you have to check out Jay Bhavani in Pineville. I was thrilled when I heard they were opening a location, and it definitely lives up to the hype!
For those who haven't tried vada pav before, it’s often referred to as the "Indian burger" – a spiced potato fritter served in a bun, paired with chutneys and fried green chili. Jay Bhavani's version hits all the right notes, with a crispy outer layer and a perfectly spiced potato filling. The vada is made fresh, and you can taste the quality of the ingredients in every bite.
The flavors here are bold but well-balanced – the chutneys (both the sweet and spicy) add an extra layer of taste that really elevates the dish. The pav (bread) is soft and warm, making each bite a delightful experience. If you’re a fan of spicy food, make sure to try it with the fried green chili – it’s the real deal!
Aside from the vada pav, Jay Bhavani offers a variety of other street food options, but it’s their vada pav that steals the show. Best Fried rice ever and South Indian food is amazing!!
The new location has a vibrant, welcoming vibe, and the staff is super friendly. The place is perfect for grabbing a quick, satisfying bite with family or friends.
Bonus points for being so conveniently located – it's the perfect spot for when you're craving street food in the suburbs. Whether you’re a first-timer or a vada pav aficionado, Jay Bhavani won’t disappoint....

I visited on their grand opening day (November 1st) and the experience was fantastic from start to finish. It truly felt like a genuine taste of Indian street food, just like being back in Ahmedabad or Mumbai. The restaurant has a vibrant, clean, and welcoming atmosphere with comfortable seating and fun decor. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful, especially for a first-timer to Indian street food, offering great recommendations with a smile. Here’s what I tried: Butter Vada Pav: Absolutely the best I've had in the US! The pav (bun) was soft and fluffy, the vada was perfectly spiced, and the butter added an extra layer of deliciousness.
