I asked the waiter to make it specially for me, and he did. It wasn't the typical bean-grind one, but it was bearable and better than nothing.
My setup is 6000km away from me, and I'm in Deoria for the next 2 weeks. Is there any way I can get a good iced Americano here?
I've realised I've eaten a ridiculous amount of
chicken in this city and still don't have an answer to this.
There are obviously the usual names everyone throws around, but I want to know the place you'd actually send a friend who's visiting Mumbai and says they want good chicken.
Preferred location: Anywhere in Mumbai
No. of people: 2
Budget per person: ₹500-1000
Preferred cuisines: Any
Dietary preference: Non-vegetarian
Time of day: Any
Could be anything. Fried chicken, kebab, burger, shawarma, biryani, whatever. Drop your favourite.
Not looking for the most expensive place or the fanciest restaurant.
Just someplace which serves the best flavors. Could be fried chicken, chicken burger, shawarma, kebab, whatever.
I'm trying to make a proper Mumbai chicken bucket list, so drop your one non-negotiable recommendation below.
And please don't say "depends on the area" 😭
Everywhere I go, I see this meme, and now I can't unsee it. But she used to look very different from this. What happened to her?
Earlier, I'd just open one app and order because there was almost always a decent discount. Now I end up checking multiple apps for the exact same restaurant since the prices, fees, and offers are different everywhere.
Feels like ordering food has become less about what I want to eat and more about which app is charging me the least. Is anyone else doing this?
I've always been the person who pays the bill first without making it awkward. If someone sends me their share later, great. If they don't, I usually don't chase them.
But lately I've started noticing a pattern. Whenever we're grabbing something inexpensive, one of my friends happily pays for everyone. But the moment we go somewhere expensive, somehow all eyes turn to me. Nobody says it outright, but it's almost expected that I'll cover it.
Then later they'll pay for a ₹400-500 meal and act like we're even.
It's not even about the money anymore. I can afford to pay more if I want to. What bothers me is the mindset behind it. It feels less like generosity and more like people quietly taking advantage of a habit they know I have.
Has anyone else dealt with this? How do you stop being "the one who always pays" without making things awkward?
I've noticed I enjoy watching founders explain how they actually built a business more than watching fictional dramas.
The logistics, the mistakes, the moments where things almost failed, those parts are somehow way more interesting than the polished success stories.
Anyone else into this? What are some genuinely good Indian business stories or documentaries you've watched?
Aesthetic matters, but for me taste matters too, so I would love to explore some good-tasting options which won't break my bank.
There are so many famous s stories, but I feel the most interesting ones are usually about businesses that quietly kept growing without much media attention.
I'd love recommendations about companies or founders that built something incredible without becoming internet celebrities. Can be from any industry.
I'm between jobs right now, and it's honestly surprising how quickly your mindset changes when every expense starts feeling important. I've stopped taking cabs unless I absolutely have to, walk almost everywhere now, cancelled a few subscriptions I wasn't really using, and I spend way too much time comparing prices before buying anything.
To make things worse, my kitchen ceiling started leaking because of the rains, so cooking is off the table until the landlord gets it sorted. 🥲 That means I've been relying on food delivery, but only when I can find decent discounts.
Yesterday my usual app wasn't working for a while, so I ordered somewhere else and ended up paying way more than I normally would. Funny how you don't realize how much those savings add up until they're suddenly gone. Anyway... just needed to vent a bit.
If you've ever been unemployed or had to live on savings for a while, what were the little habits that genuinely helped you make your money last?
I'm a big kulfi lover, and I love to try different kulfi places. I really want to know what the best kulfi place across NCR is.
Whenever I pay at group dinners, I've noticed how nobody pays me back, and I don't even ask because it's not a big deal for me. But whenever somebody else pays, they most definitely ask me for my share. At first, I didn't care, but now they have made this a habit. I don't want to ask for money from anyone because it's awkward. What should I do?
I'm just 30 and suffering from baldness, and it's pretty serious. Nothing seems to work, and my confidence is literally zero. Please suggest something. I was thinking about a hair transplant lately, but I am not very sure about it due to many fraud cases in India. Please let me know if I can get help from somewhere.
I have seen clinics charging huge amounts for hair transplants, and I genuinely don't know if it's worth the money. Do the results actually last long-term, or do people regret it later?
I want to get a hair transplant, but traveling to Turkey is not possible for me. Does Mumbai have any good alternatives?
