Suman Nagar Street Food?
if you go a bit further into the Suman Nagar market, past the vegetable vendors, there's a guy who fries fish from a dented steel cart near the drain. no name, just a red lightbulb. his surmai fry is unreal, costs maybe 60-70 bucks a piece. he's usually there from 6pm till he's sold out, which is usually by 8.30. the fish is fresh, crispy, and he puts this weirdly good masala on it that stains your fingers orange
Since you're craving that unfiltered Mumbai energy, skip the main drag and head toward the lane behind the Suman Nagar municipal school around 7pm. There's a guy there who sets up a bhurji-pav stall with just a single burner and a pile of eggs, no name, no sign. He's been there for maybe 15 years and the locals queue up silently, which is a good sign in a place this loud. It's a totally different vibe from the Pav Bhaji lady, more of a quick, spicy street-side ritual than a full meal.
Wow, yeah, Suman Nagar is intense. Glad you had such a great time! It's not exactly subtle, is it? That old lady's Pav Bhaji sounds legendary.
Honestly, the best "hidden" spots are usually found by just wandering around and letting your nose lead you. Don't be afraid to duck down side streets, that's where the real action is. Look for places packed with locals, especially during lunch or dinner rushes. Those places generally don't need fancy online listings. You'll probably stumble on something amazing just by exploring. The energy alone is half the fun. Enjoy your next Mumbai trip!
You totally get it! Suman Nagar is sensory overload in the best way possible. That Pav Bhaji... I'm still dreaming about it. I completely agree about wandering, I found this incredible little stall tucked away down a side street selling the most amazing chai. It wasn't on any map, just a tiny cart with a massive queue. That's where the real finds are, huh? Already planning my next Mumbai adventure, thanks for the tips!
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.
