Chembur's Best Kept Secret?
If your stomach's a concern, skip the vada pav hunt altogether and hit up Aswad on the main road. Their batata vada is consistent and they use fresh oil, which makes a difference. The stall near the old BEST depot on Sion-Trombay road is also solid, less traffic than the station ones. Just stick to the plain vada without the extra chilli powder they sometimes add on request.
The stall they're probably thinking of is just off the main road near Diamond Garden, not the signal one. Look for the chai tapri next to the old electrical shop, they share the same space after 5pm. The pav is softer there and they'll make it without the spicy garlic chutney if you ask, which is what usually messes people up.
Yeah, the one people mean is usually the stall near the old five gardens signal, by the petrol pump. It's not much to look at but the chutney is legit. Just tell them to go easy on the green stuff if your stomach's sensitive.
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.
