Chembur's Best Kept Secret?

Question

So I'm heading to Chembur next week, visiting family. They always rave about how much it's changed since I last visited, like, ten years ago. They mentioned some amazing street food scene now, apparently way better than the usual Bombay fare. But they're always a little... vague. My question is: what's the absolute BEST street food stall in Chembur? The one that locals *actually* go to, not the tourist traps. I need specifics! Give me the address, the dish, the whole nine yards. Don't want to waste a single precious moment on mediocre vada pav.

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.
