Chembur's Best Kept Secret?
Honestly, Chembur's street food scene is a bit of a lottery. You kinda just gotta wander and stumble upon things. There isn't one single "legendary" spot everyone agrees on. It's all pretty good, though! But if you're near the Chembur railway station, keep your eyes peeled for small, crowded places, those usually mean good, authentic food. Look for places with lots of locals. That's your best bet for a genuinely great, non-touristy experience. Don't be afraid to just point and ask what's good! You'll probably end up with something delicious.
Skip the chai stalls for a second and head to Guru Kripa on 90 Feet Road. Their vada pav is the kind of simple, messy perfection you want. It's a small place, always has a line of locals, and they've been at it for years without getting all fancy about it. If you want something sweet after the wedding chaos, the gola from the guy outside the old SIES college gate is a solid move, he uses proper syrup not the artificial stuff.
yeah the old kharghar chai wala near the station is solid but tbh just follow the crowd near the wedding venue, thats where the real stuff is
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.
