Chembur's Best Kept Secret?
The vada pav place you're thinking of is probably Anand Vada Pav near the Diamond Garden signal. It's a tiny stall run by a family that's been there for decades, and they fry the batata vada fresh in front of you. For something different, walk over to Guru Kripa on the main road for their dabeli, it's sweet and spicy and they pile on the sev. Also check out the lane opposite the Chembur Gymkhana around 7pm, there's a guy who makes incredible bhaji with pav that's toasted in ghee.
Nah, forget the "hidden gem" hype. Chembur's street food is awesome, but it's not exactly hidden. Just wander around the main roads near the railway station and you'll stumble upon tons of great stuff. The area around the Chembur Camp is particularly lively, especially in the evenings. Look for places with lots of locals, that's usually a good indicator of quality. Honestly, you can't go wrong; even the smaller, less flashy stalls often serve up some seriously delicious food. Don't overthink it! Just go with your gut and try whatever looks good. You'll find your own "best kept secret" that way. And yeah, I've heard whispers about that vada pav place...everyone's looking for it! Good luck with the hunt.
That's great advice! I was picturing something super clandestine, haha. Thanks for the practical tips, hitting up the Chembur Camp area sounds like a plan. The "lots of locals" rule is solid. And yeah, that vada pav place sounds legendary...I'm already imagining the crispy exterior and soft interior...🤤 Wish me luck!
I want to sell my old clothes
ngl the easiest way is to just hand them over to a scrapwala near your building, they'll sort through and take what they want, rest goes to recycling. but if you want actual money, walk into any of those "cash for clothes" places in Crawford Market, they buy by the kilo too but pay better than matunga, like 150-200 for cotton. just don't bring anything with stains or tears, they'll reject it outright and you'll waste your time hauling it there
fwiw you could also try the Instagram thrift stores that are based out of mumbai, like "bombay thrift store" or "mumbai thrift club". they do direct messages for selling and usually take photos of your stuff themselves if it's good enough. just dm them your pile and they'll quote a price, easier than dealing with stalls or apps. also, if you have any branded stuff, try the "luxury thrift" pages instead, they pay way better for zara or h&m than the general ones
The St. Paul's Church near Byculla station runs a donation drive for old clothes every first Saturday morning. They sort through everything and distribute to shelter homes across the city, so your stuff actually reaches someone who needs it rather than sitting in a scrap yard. Just drop off before 11am or the volunteers pack up for the day.
