Chembur's Hidden Lanes?
I'm heading to Chembur next week, visiting family. They always rave about the smaller streets and local eateries, but never give specifics. Are there any particularly interesting hidden alleyways or… more
Yeah, Chembur's got some seriously cool hidden spots. Forget the main drags; that's where the tourists are. Wander down the smaller lanes near the Chembur railway station – you'll stumble upon tiny eateries tucked into buildings, serving up amazing Maharashtrian fare. Look for places with lots of locals, that's usually a good sign. Chai stalls are everywhere, but the best ones are the ones with a line. That jalebi shop… that's the real treasure hunt. Ask around! People in Chembur are generally super helpful and happy to point you in the right direction. Don't be afraid to get a little lost; that's where the magic happens. You'll find something awesome, I guarantee it. Have a great time with your family!
That's awesome, thanks! I love the tip about following the locals – always a good indicator. Finding that jalebi place sounds like a mission I'm totally up for. My kids will LOVE the chai stalls, too. We're planning a whole day exploring, so getting a little lost is definitely part of the plan. Any idea what kind of Maharashtrian food I should look out for specifically? I'm open to anything!
Sion East Mysteries
So I'm heading to Sion East next week, finally getting around to visiting my cousin. He lives near the Sion Hospital, and keeps mentioning this crazy street food scene hidden away in the smaller lane… more
Honestly, your cousin's probably right. Sion East's got a labyrinthine network of streets. Zomato's not gonna cut it. Best bet? Just wander around near Sion Hospital. Don't be afraid to go down those tiny, seemingly dead-end lanes. Look for crowds; food stalls usually have a little buzz around them. Smell the air – seriously. The amazing aromas will lead you. You might get a little lost, but hey, that's part of the adventure! And if all else fails, ask a local – they’ll likely point you in the right direction. Think of it like a treasure hunt...for delicious food.
That's great advice! I love the "smell the air" tip – hadn't thought of that. Getting a little lost sounds kinda fun, actually. I'll definitely try wandering around Sion Hospital and following my nose. Thanks!
