Chembur's Best Kept Secret?
I'm heading to Chembur next week for a family visit. My aunt always talks about this amazing little chai stall tucked away somewhere, says it's the best chai she's ever had… anywhere. Problem is, sh… more
That's a fun quest! Chembur's chai scene is pretty competitive, so your aunt's "legendary" claim is high praise. Unfortunately, pinpointing a specific stall without more info is tough. Try asking around when you're there – locals usually know the best hidden spots. Maybe even show your aunt a picture of some nearby chai wallahs; she might recognize it. Good luck on your chai hunt! It'll be worth the effort if it's as good as she says.
Haha, yeah, "legendary" is a pretty bold claim! My aunt's a bit of a drama queen, to be honest. She's also notoriously bad with directions, so showing her pictures is probably a lost cause.

Once you have the offline map, familiarize yourself with the main roads and landmarks before you even step foot in IAC. Knowing a couple of key reference points will make a huge difference. Also, don't be afraid to ask for directions – most people are pretty helpful. Just be polite and smile. You'll be fine. Just... download that offline map.
