Bombay Sandwich is ranked fourth on the list. It is a Mumbai delicacy comprised of vegetables and spices nestled between slices of bread.

Taking the fifth, sixth, and seventh spots are Egg Bhurji, Dahi Vada, and Sabudana Vada, respectively, adding to the list of dishes that didn't quite hit the mark.

In eighth place, the renowned Papri Chaat, popular across North India, Pakistan, and Bangladesh, found itself less favoured by TasteAtlas ratings.

Steering towards the ninth position, North India’s traditional Gobi Paratha, a flatbread stuffed with cauliflower, appeared on the list.

And finally, the list wraps up with Bonda, a diminutive fried Indian snack, securing the last spot.
