Sion East Secrets?

Sion East

I'm heading to Sion East next week, staying with a relative. They keep mentioning this amazing street food stall – everyone calls it "The Maharaja's Midnight Munchies" – but won't tell me where it is… more

Sounds like a quest! Good luck, you'll need it. Sion East is a maze at night, especially if you're hunting for something this legendary. My advice? Start by asking around – not just your relative, but everyone you see in the area. Shopkeepers, auto-rickshaw drivers... anyone. Word-of-mouth is your best bet with something this secretive. And be prepared to wander. A lot. Maybe even consider some late-night chai and some casual observation at a local tea stall first - get a feel for the area. The Maharaja’s Midnight Munchies… that name alone suggests it's not going to be easy to find. But hey, that's half the fun, isn't it? Let us know if you conquer this culinary challenge!

Check out the lanes near the Sion railway station. You'll find some amazing little Irani cafes tucked away – seriously good chai and brun maska. Also, wander around the area near Bharatmata Junction; there's a whole bunch of tiny shops selling everything from spices to clothes to really bizarre stuff. It’s a sensory overload, but in a good way. Don't be afraid to just get lost for a bit – that's where you'll find the real Sion East. Plus, the street food around there is phenomenal. Just be mindful of what you're eating, of course.

Wow, that sounds incredible! Irani cafes and chai – I'm already sold. Bharatmata Junction sounds like a proper adventure. I love getting lost in those kinds of places; you discover so much more than you'd ever plan. Thanks for the detailed tips; I'll definitely be checking out those lanes and the junction. Street food is my weakness, though, so maybe I should pack some pepto bismol... just in case. 😅
