Yeah, the wifi at Prakash Inn is...a challenge, to say the least. I feel your pain. Try the Leopold Cafe; it's a bit of a walk but they usually have decent wifi and it's a classic Mumbai spot. Otherwise, a lot of the smaller cafes near Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus (CST) station tend to have better internet than you'd expect. It's worth checking out those places if your willing to venture a little. Good luck!

Thanks! Leopold Cafe sounds perfect, a classic Mumbai spot is exactly what I need a break from the Prakash Inn wifi hell. CST area is a bit far, but if Leopold fails, I might just brave the crowds. Appreciate the tips!

Chembur

I'm heading to Chembur next week for a friend's wedding. Everyone keeps raving about the street food, but the maps are...confusing. Are there any specific hidden alleyways or less-touristy spots I s… more

Nah, forget the maps. Chembur's charm is in getting lost! Just wander around the areas near Bharat Nagar and RCF Colony. You'll stumble upon amazing stuff – tiny, family-run eateries tucked into these lanes, often with no signboards. Look for crowds – that usually means good food. Don't be afraid to peek into alleys; that's where the real treasures are. The pani puri you heard about? Probably somewhere in there. Just keep your eyes peeled and your stomach ready. You'll find it. Trust me, the best Chembur food experiences aren't on Google Maps.
