Clifton to Bahadurabad is a solid 30 min in traffic

30 min is optimistic on a bad day tbh, add another 20 if it's raining

Ask for mild, they'll dial it down.

yeah mild works but say it twice, their default chutney still has a kick. the dabeli itself is more sweet tamarind than heat so you'll prob be fine, just watch the green chutney on the side.

I stopped by the Bahadurabad branch last year and it's tiny, maybe four stools, so plan to eat standing or take it away. Ask for the dabeli with extra masala and sev on the side so it doesn't go soft on the walk.

Extra green chutney on the side is the move, and go before 6pm since they sell out of the pav by evening.

four stools sounds about right tbh, standing room only
