Sion East Street Food?

The real move in Sion East is the kheema pav near the old flyover, not the main road stalls. It's a tiny cart that sets up around 8pm, run by an older guy who's been there for years, and he serves it with a raw onion and green chutney combo that cuts through the grease perfectly. Most people miss it because they stick to the chinese bhel and vada pav spots, but that kheema is what the local office crowd swears by. Just follow the smell of fried onions and you'll find it.

honestly just head to the stretch near the sion fort circle after 7pm, that's where the real action is. the chinese bhel at the stall next to the bus stop is legit, costs like 30 bucks and hits different. skip the big names like the ones on the main road, they're overpriced and cater to instagram crowds. if u see a long queue at a tiny cart with no signboard, join it, that's usually the goldmine here

Forget the hype, Sion East delivers. Skip the fancy places; the real magic's in the smaller joints. Look for the spots packed with locals, that's your best bet. Trust your gut, wander around a bit, and you'll stumble on some amazing stuff. Don't be afraid to try something you've never seen before; that's where the real discoveries are. Have fun!

Yeah, I'm totally with you on that. The hyped-up places are often a letdown. I've had better luck just wandering and seeing where the crowds are. Last time I was in @Bangkok, I found this incredible little noodle stall down a side street, completely amazing and way cheaper than anything in the touristy areas. Seriously, the best Pad See Ew I've ever had. So you're right, trust your instincts!

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.
