Shawarma Named World's Best Sandwich, Indian Vada Pav Ranks At...
Popular food and travel guide TasteAtlas has unveiled the 100 best sandwiches in the world, updated as of July 2025. The rankings are based on 16,551 ratings submitted by the TasteAtlas audience. Shawarma, which originates from the Middle East, has been ranked the best sandwich in the world. It is followed by two other popular options - Banh Mi from Vietnam and Tombik Doner from Turkiye - at the second and third spots, respectively. India's Vada Pav also features on the list, ranked 26th globally. Although categorised as a sandwich, shawarma is often seen as a juicy and meaty wrap. This popular street food is filled with thinly sliced, tender meat. It can be made using lamb, turkey, chicken, beef, or a mix of meats, all of which are slow-cooked for hours and basted in their own juices and fat. While Banh Mi takes the second position, Vietnam stands out for having the most entries in the top 10 - a total of three sandwiches. India's Vada Pav has seen a steady rise in popularity and ratings, moving up from the 39th position in the January rankings to 26th in the latest list. View this post on Instagram A post shared by TasteAtlas (@tasteatlas) Here Are The Top 10 Sandwiches In The World, As Per TasteAtlas: Shawarma (Lebanon and more regions) Banh mi (Vietnam) Tombik Doner (Turkiye) Meat and Cold Cuts Banh Mi (Banh mi thit) (Vietnam) Roasted Pork Belly Banh Mi (Banh mi heo quay) (Vietnam) Panino col polpo (Bari, Italy) Tortas (Puebla De Zaragoza, Mexico) Lobster Roll (Maine, USA) Butifarra (Lima, Peru) Sandwich de lomo (Cordoba Province, Argentina) Which is your favourite sandwich in the world?

The Weekly Special: Truffles take over Freo, and have we found Perth's cheapest jug of beer?
The Weekly Special Eating out What's on Truffle brioche burgers. Bratwurst sausages with truffled mustard. Banh mi filled with roast duck and truffle. These are just three of the dishes on offer at The Truffle Extravaganza: a three-day truffle festival being held this weekend at the Fremantle Markets from Friday July 11 to Sunday July 13. In addition to truffle-enriched dishes from the market's food vendors, the free, family-friendly event also features tastings of truffle products, demonstrations and a chance to learn from mycologist and truffle expert Federico Paci. More details are available online. A sake dinner unifying east and west For more than a decade, Sydney-based importer Black Market Sake has been supplying restaurants around Australia with intriguing expressions of nihonshu (the Japanese word for sake) made by small producers using natural, low-intervention methods. On Thursday, July 24, team Black Market head west to host an intimate six-course dinner at Northbridge's one-hat dining room Ah Um showcasing the diversity and versatility of Japan's most famous alcohol export. Tickets are $200 (inclusive of matched sakes) and seats – as those that have eaten at the Astral Weeks crew's bijou eatery will tell you – are limited. Is this Perth's cheapest jug of beer? '$10 Jugs' proclaims a banner outside Vic Park sports bar Franklins Tavern. '3-6pm every Wednesday. Alehouse Full Strength 4.2%.' While anointing anything as the best, tallest, fastest or cheapest in class is fraught with risk, being able to score a jug for a tenner – even if it's just for three hours once a week – certainly counts as a deal. Has anyone found a place doing jugs for less? Big flavours, big value From utterly classic French charcuterie to curried fries, revivalist Freo wine bar Nieuw Ruin makes no effort to hide its love of the old school. There's something similarly yesteryear – and very appealing – about the pricing of its new Cold Nights Warm Plates winter meal deal for two. On Wednesday and Thursday nights, $95 gets you a shared feast for two including pate en croute, airy Comte gougères and a choice of mains (truffled pork choux farci, a cooked filled cabbage, or the bar's famous cauliflower pie) before finishing with crème caramel. Savings on dinner means extra dollars to invest towards exploring a really snappy drinks list. The irresistible allure of bottomless gnocchi Until the end of August, The Peninsula in Mandurah is offering bottomless gnocchi on Thursday evenings. From 6pm to 8pm, $35 gets you all the gnocchi you can handle – choose from three varieties including pulled pork ragu; basil pesto cream with green oil and parmesan; and roast pumpkin with sage, feta and pepita dukkah – plus garlic bread. (You know, just in case you were worried you weren't going to consume enough carbs at an all-you-can-eat gnocchi dinner.) Reservations are available online.

Cheap eats: Where to get a feed in Perth for $10 or less
It seems like costs are going up in all aspects of life at the moment, whether it's bills, housing or groceries. So when it's time to treat yourself to a culinary outing and breaking the bank is not an option, you need a guide for where you can get a cheap but tasty feed. There is still plenty of value for money to be found in the Perth metro area and PerthNow has compiled a list to keep your stomachs heavy but your bank accounts full. Here are our top places where you can get a delicious foodie fare for $10 or under. Toasted cheddar cheese sandwich and a coffee - $10 Tucked away in the Perth CBD and as discovered by a British content creator (you can read about it here ) is one of the longer lasting CBD hot spots around, Toastface Grillah. Named in homage to American rapper Ghostface Killah of Wu-Tang Clan fame you can get a crunchy on the outside and oh-so-gooey on the inside toasted sandwich with cheddar cheese for $10, plus you get a coffee too. It's a winner! Small katsu of teriyaki chicken - $9.50 Another CBD stalwart, Taka Japanese kitchen, offers a small katsu and teriyaki chicken both served with rice for under ten dollars. You can also get a hearty warming miso soup or a couple of skewers for the loose change in your pocket. Popular with regular city-goers who are after a budget-friendly feast, this gem is worth a drop in. Interchanging specials each lunchtime - $10 Offering lunchtime specials of interchanging dishes (sometimes the roast ducks you can see hanging in the window) for $10 available in their Northbridge and East Victoria Park stores. You won't regret it if you end up with the mouth-watering tender duck with perfectly crispy skin as you soak up the kitsch interior and bustling ambience of both restaurants. Vietnamese salad or banh mi - $10 If you haven't made a stop past the Coventry Village food court for some seriously good, seriously fresh food, you've been missing out and need to get there, quickly. High on the list of must-trys in one of Morley's favourite eating destinations is Roll vs Bowl where you can get a bowl of hearty, delicious Vietnamese salad or a banh mi roll for ten dollars and both are seriously good and seriously good value. Most pretzel's on the menu - $7-9 With few items on the menu over ten dollars and most sitting between $7-$9 PerthNow had to include Pretzel in our list. Cheese is a big fixture on the savoury options and you can snag a deliciously topped pretzel with cheese and garlic ($7.5), cheese and pepperoni ($8.5) or cheese and bacon ($9). Lovers of the gooey godsend will be in their element. You can also grab some sweet varieties for under ten dollars too, including one covered in nutella. Yum! Banh Mi - $8.50-$9 When Katy Perry was recently in town, her and her staff went crazy for one particular CBD banh mi joint (you can read more about it here ) but we think it's not the only must try spot in town. Serving up the fresh and tasty buns for a decent price is Bite My Banh Mi in Morley. The delicious Vietnamese baguettes have a large selection all available for under ten dollars, they also have a nice selection of other offerings including noodle and rice bowls (for a bit more than ten dollars) as well as some Vietnamese sweet drinks. Burger and a drink - $5 Five dollars hardly buys you a decent cup of coffee these days but at The Mustang Bar in Northbridge on a Wednesday night, you can get a burger and a drink for just that! It's aimed at the backpacker contingent in the area as well as students but that's not essential to take up the deal and when you purchase one of the burgers you get entry to the pool competition for the night as well as some live music! There are limited spots for the pool competition so get down early if you want to partake. Dumplings - Ten for $10 A fancy cocktail bar in the CBD is not a place you would suspect to find cheap eats, but Goody Two's in Hibernian Place offer $1 dollar dumplings on a Wednesday night. So you get 10 for $10 and with the money saved you can splurge on some sexy sounding cocktails including the 'passenger princess' which features pavlova vodka or the 'red moon' which includes red fruit sherbet. It's got everything a cocktail bar should have, low lighting, delightful drinks and now, cheap eats! Bratwurst in a bun - $10.50 For an extra fifty cents we have a bonus cheap eats for you, just over budget at $10.50. Serving up sausages (or more specifically, bratwursts) to hungry visitors at Fremantle Markets since 2004 is the Bratwurst Bar. Slightly over budget at $10.50, they're worth the extra coin as they have no preservatives are low in fat but high in flavour and come in pork, beef and currywurst flavours. The business is run by the incredibly friendly and enthusiastic Tony so head on down to the port city and get a decent feed at a very decent price.
