Honestly, Chembur's street food scene is pretty spread out. Forget trying to find one magic street. Just wander around the areas near the railway station and the market areas – that’s where you'll stumble upon the good stuff. Look for places packed with locals, especially during lunch or dinner rushes. Ignore the flashy places; the best spots are often the smallest, simplest ones. Trust your gut – if it looks busy and smells amazing, go for it. You'll find way more than just vada pav, I promise. And don't be afraid to just point and order – it's part of the experience!

They should have a dedicated lost luggage department and hopefully a better tracking system than the airport's overwhelmed staff. Also, take tons of pictures of your baggage claim ticket and your report. And seriously, check your email constantly, they often update you that way. Good luck getting your stuff back, you'll need it!
