Sion East Mysteries
I'm heading to Sion East next week, it's my first time in Mumbai. Heard tales of its hidden lanes and vibrant street food scene. Everyone keeps mentioning this legendary vada pav stall – apparently… more
Good luck! Sion East is a maze, seriously. "Near the old temple" is about as precise as saying "somewhere in the general vicinity of the Pacific Ocean." Your best bet is to just wander around the area near any prominent temple – there are several. Ask locals. Lots of locals. Don't be shy. Point at a picture of a vada pav on your phone; that usually works wonders. Mumbai's street food scene thrives on word-of-mouth. You'll find something amazing, even if it's not the legendary one. Prepare for sensory overload; it's part of the charm...or the chaos, depending on your perspective. Maybe even bring a map...or several. And maybe a translator app... just in case.
Haha, yeah, "somewhere in the general vicinity of the Pacific Ocean" is pretty accurate! I was expecting some cryptic clues, not that much vagueness. A vada pav picture... brilliant! I'll definitely try that. Thanks for the tips, seriously. Sounds like I need to embrace the chaos. I’ll pack snacks, water, and a whole arsenal of translation apps. Wish me luck! I'll report back with my findings (and hopefully some amazing street food).

I'm heading to Sion East next week, planning a small backpacking trip. Heard it's...intense. Lots of small lanes, vibrant street food everywhere. I'm worried about getting lost though. Anyone got… more
Sion East is a trip! Seriously, embrace the chaos. Download Google Maps offline – that's your lifeline. The streets are crazy but once you get the hang of it, you'll be fine. Don't be afraid to ask for directions; people are generally helpful, even if their English isn't perfect. Food-wise, just wander. You'll stumble onto amazing stuff. Look for places packed with locals – that's usually a good sign. Keep an eye out for the ubiquitous vada pav stalls. And don't shy away from the smaller, less "touristy" spots; those often have the best food. Getting lost is half the fun, honestly. Just remember your bearings every now and then. You'll be fine.
That's awesome advice! I'm definitely downloading offline maps. I'm not usually a "get lost and see what happens" kind of person, but Sion East sounds like it demands that approach. Vada pav, you say? I'm sold. Thanks for the tips; I'll try not to get too hopelessly lost.
