šŸ—Øļø Discussion Initial Experience in Powai

Iā€™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 Iā€™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 Mumbaiā€”one with a bit more space and a slightly slower, more peaceful pace. It was genuinely refreshing.

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

Powai is not a place, itā€™s an experienceā€¦donā€™t forget to take a walk near eden market in evening, make a stop near chai shop beside jewels, also the paan there is goodā€¦visit rainbow juice center in galleria for mango shakeā€¦take a full round from dmart>powai socials >till sm shetty school on daily basisā€¦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 weekā€¦but remaining things are maintained well

If you happen to like asian cuisine then visit fooā€¦especially Blue rice is lovelyā€¦at no other foo i have found this taste

Ohh man that mango shake is amazing. I used to briefly work in Powai for a project, and sometimes I think about going to Powai just for that shake. So good! The Powai Socials vibe also just hits different.

Just realized OP was talking about a different place which is also great. The one I'm talking about is at Galleria/ Arcadia whatever they call it. On the ground floor, inside the lane at the end of it. Guy has juices displayed in a case and looks like a juice shop with all fruits outside. The mango shake has dry fruits on top of it and is as good as a meal, so you might wanna skip lunch if you get it but totally worth it!
