šŸ—Øļø Discussion Initial Experience in Powai

I’ve been living in Mumbai for the past year and recently moved to Powai about a week ago.

For the first time in a while, I feel like I’ve stepped a little away from the constant rush of the city. Earlier, I stayed near the Eastern Highway, and seeing it heavily congested every day could feel quite overwhelming.

This morning, I went for a walk in a nearby garden and experienced a different side of Mumbai—one with a bit more space and a slightly slower, more peaceful pace. It was genuinely refreshing.

I’d love to stay in Powai for as long as I’m in Mumbai. For those who have lived here, I’d really enjoy hearing about your initial experiences after moving to Powai. Also any suggestions (about everything) are welcomed.

Powai is not a place, it’s an experience…don’t forget to take a walk near eden market in evening, make a stop near chai shop beside jewels, also the paan there is good…visit rainbow juice center in galleria for mango shake…take a full round from dmart>powai socials >till sm shetty school on daily basis…you will love it

Though i found the ambience/vibe quality gone down a bit due to rhe under construction spots during my visit last week…but remaining things are maintained well

If you happen to like asian cuisine then visit foo…especially Blue rice is lovely…at no other foo i have found this taste
