Chembur's Best Kept Secret?
The real move in Chembur is the egg bhurji pav at the stall outside the old R.K. Studio gate on Sion-Trombay Road. He sets up around 7:30 PM, a metal cart with a single yellow bulb, and he's been there for over a decade. The bhurji is cooked with finely chopped onions, green chilies, and a pinch of chaat masala that cuts through the richness, and he toasts the pav in the same pan so it soaks up all the butter. It's about 40 rupees for a plate, no seating, just eat standing on the footpath like everyone else.
honestly skip the vada pav scene for a second and go to the kulfi guy near Chembur Naka, opposite the old Golden Tobacco sign. He sets up around 8pm, tiny cart with a red umbrella, and his malai kulfi is the real deal - thick, creamy, not too sweet. Costs like 30 rupees a stick and he's been there for 15 years, no one cares about the touristy stuff
Okay so ngl you HAVE to hit up the stall near Ambedkar Garden, it's called something like "Raju's Bhaji Pav" or similar. The guy has this secret masala mix for his batata bhaji that's honestly better than any vada pav you'll find, and the pav is buttered and toasted perfectly. It's just a cart, near the entrance, around 6pm. Don't expect a sign, just look for the crowd.
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.
