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
have u tried the chor bazaar route? not for selling to shops but the friday morning flea guys near mumbadevi, some of them buy vintage/retro pieces outright and pay better than the bale walas if ur stuff has any character. got 800 for a bunch of old levi's and band tees there. thing is u gotta go early like 6am and know how to hold ur ground, they smell desperation instantly
one thing nobody mentioned, watch out for the weight vs piece thing. kabadiwalas and bale buyers pay by kilo so heavy stuff like denim and woolens actually earn more than fancy light stuff. i cleared a whole bag of old jeans to a guy in Malad for way better than what my branded shirts fetched. also wash everything before u show it, sounds obvious but dusty clothes get lowballed on sight.
honestly the timing matters more than the platform. end of month is when people get salary and actually buy, so list ur stuff around the 1st or 2nd. also post pics in natural light near a window, not on ur bed with flash, makes a huge difference on OLX and insta thrift pages. i've flipped a lot of my old stuff this way and the same kurta that got ignored at 300 sold for 500 when i relisted it properly.
