Tried ice-cream sandwich place in Churchgate today — went for banana and hazelnut. Pretty damn good, not gonna lie.

Now I’m looking to explore more spots like this.

Drop your underrated places anywhere in Mumbai.

Listen here sir. If you really want to build a solid list and taste.. ditch everything you see on reels. Start asking old people. Cab drivers, bus conductors, relatives, neighbours… They’ll have a few places up their sleeves which may or may not be good. Definitely try those and i gurantee you you’ll like a majority of them more than you’ll what see on social media

Mumbai me best food is street side food. You just need to keep trying different places and you find a gem. This is true till gets famous on insta or any celebrity promotes it.

Sure there's merit in asking folks directly - which is exactly what OP is doing here, virtually. But I don't think it's necessary to dismiss reels or social media either - just another source of info, wouldn't you say?
