STORES/ SHOPPING CENTRES: Best book shop in Mumbai!!!
  • Tip Rating:
  • One of the most famous and reader oriented book shops in Mumbai started by the defatiguable Mr. Shanbag who started with an actually small stall in the erstwhile Strand movie theatre near Colaba, now shifted to the more spacious (still small) premises at Sir PM Road. All kinds of books and magazines are available on order at the greatest discounts possible in this field!!! The staff are very helpful and go about doing business but are more like a friend rather than shop owners!!!

    Their once in a year sale of books is a geat bargain for here you will get books at upto 80% discounts and well worth the effort of going through all the books at your own free time!!! No questions asked and no strange looks or staring eyes!!! So go pick up lots of bargain books and enjoy the lost art of reading (books) in this internet age!!!

    BOOOOOOOOKS!!!!! What else!!! Well alright, you may find some music CD's as well at discount prices!!! And the best collection of travel guides too!!!

    Most books are at discounted prices and are also available by post!!!

    STORES/ SHOPPING CENTRES: The best gift shop in Mumbai!!!
  • Tip Rating:
  • The Bombay Store is one of the best places you can gift yourself or someone dear and special a lovely gift that they will cherish all their lives!!! It has a wide range of gifts and a lot more than just gifts too for everybody, no matter how old or young they may be!!! Drop in for a huge collection of art and handicrafts as well as clothes, jewellery, carpets, wall hangings, exquisite tea in gift packs, leather products, candles, writing instruments and accessories, wooden and stone carvings, etc. all for a very reasonable price and a wide range to select from!!! Come and take your pick for you will be left asking for more space to put all your purchases and your baggage allowances will not be sufficient for all that you buy here!!! HAHAHA!!!

    Tea, handicrafts, carpets, wall hangings, stone sculptures, wooden sculptures, jewellery, writing accessories, clothes, leather goods, gifts of all kinds!!!

    Comparatively reasonable prices and good bargains for a lovely selection of gifts, all under one roof!!!

    STORES/ SHOPPING CENTRES: Crossroad-where the world comes together.
  • Tip Rating:

  • Mumbai has many shopping places.Usally India we say Mumbais is Mecca of fashion.
    That may be correct,anything new in fashion it comes to Mumbai,then goes to other places .
    I asked whts hottest place to shop,aha all said "Crossroad"shopping mall,
    thats its South Mumbai,so need of going out of way.Yah from cloths to jewels too all shpos at one place.

    The entrance can see left side McDonald's Restaurent.But i dint eat anything there,next there was one Reastaurant "Subway",funny name,nah,at Cross road you will behaving Subway only ;))).they give lunch package.I had lunch from there.It was nice food,you can take the food,can sit in the open hall,
    can watch TV at big screen :).It was week day,still the place was packed .

    Tell you onething i,dint buy anything there,but just had window shopping.
    I find price are high comparing to Delhi,the same thing here its less,so No buying there.
    Window shopping is cool,had look of latest designer shops :)). But if anyone is not shopping any other places (i mean India),then you can shop here.

    there is this chain of shops across mumbai, the one i know is located in Matunga (central) near the station (east) and one at chembur near diamond garden

    they have these designer brands which gets exported from india .eg: tommy hilfiger, gucci, hugo boss, ck etc.
    the best thing about it is that they all are sold under 10us$ price. NO it is not fake goods, its just the sample piece which are supposed to be exported. they do accept credit cards. They have everything from jeans, pants, shirts and tshirts. a lot of range for ladies too.

    i find it a very cheap deal. and plus i get to wear branded cloths everyday.

    everything from mens wear to undergarments. they have it all
    none are fake. all are original which are samples to be exported. so you will find only one piece of the same design.
    most of my pics you will find the ***s and the tshirts which i buy from here

    within 30us$ you can shop a lot

    STORES/ SHOPPING CENTRES: Artistic gifts and crafts shop.
  • Tip Rating:
  • Lots of local and Indian gifts for souvenirs made by local craftsmen and artists for the tourism industry at cheap prices for good artworks!!! Very helpful staff and courteous service!!! Small shop with big bargain prices!!!

    Hand painted artwork on wood, silk, cloth or paper. Wooden handicrafts, pillboxes, jewellery boxes and souvenirs handcrafted and designed by village craftsmen from all over India!!! Palm leaf paintings / etchings with carvings too!!! Filigree work. Handwoven materials for dresses, shawls, etc. Postcards and all kinds of small and big souvenirs available at good prices for the tourist!!! Not like most other shops where they fleece the tourists!!!

    From as low as Rs30 for a handpainted silk cloth painting (well worth that price) to anything like Rs300 to 500 for many big and excellent souvenir / gift items that you would not get for that price anywhere else!!!

    STORES/ SHOPPING CENTRES: Tantric Shopping
  • Tip Rating:
  • If what your looking for is ethnic Indian stuff, The Bombay Store is the only place to go. It has everything from Rugs to Leather Goods, all made in India at very reasonable prices.
    I've always liked the wood statues and ornaments, they even carry ethnic Indian clothing is your heart so desires.
    This is a Govt. / co-operative owned store and by buying here you are encouraging and empowering cottage industry in India.

    The Hand Crafted Ornaments and curios make prefect gifts for those back home as well as great memories and symbols of your trip to India.

    Mostly everything here is well priced. You'll see almost all of the same stuff you'd find at the hotel stores but at half the price. It's where the locals go for ethnic handicrafts.

    STORES/ SHOPPING CENTRES: The Bombay Store
  • Tip Rating:
  • We really enjoyed our visit to The Bombay Store. The shop has such a nice appearance inside; it is very smart but still has a traditional look too. The people working there were very helpful but allowed us plenty of time to browse without interrupting, so it was a relaxing place to wander round too. We bought some lovely stationery including note cards and writing paper, some with printed patterns and others with embossed designs, mostly with Indian themes and some stationery folders too.

    We loved the look of all the colourful household items, such as cushions and curtains and the carved wooden items were beautiful too but, with so many opportunities for shopping in the city, we had already filled or cases and had to limit ourselves to some incense stick holders and napkins!

    To be honest, I did find the prices rather higher than at some of the other places we had visited in Mumbai but everything was of such good quality and we were shopping only for small items so we didn't mind paying a little more for the items we liked there.

    STORES/ SHOPPING CENTRES: Gifts/Souvenirs
  • Tip Rating:
  • Grocery stores have sprung up all over Mumbai and its suburbs. Stores include Foodland, Spinach, and Food Bazaar and Big Bazaar (one of which is usually in every mall). One of the biggest and my favorite is Hypercity (next to Inorbit mall in Oshiwara/Malad). For those staying in the city for an extended length of time and craving food from home, these are the places to go. (Smaller, local shops may also have imported food but the turnover is not so high, therefore the food probably not the freshest.)

    Grocery stores are a great place to shop for gifts to bring home - or a reminder of your trip. You can pick up mango jams, teas, papads, all kinds of masalas, chicken/veg mixes, etc. (For the freshest spices, head to a local market though.)

    Air-conditioned place with numerous shoes tagged with fixed price.

    What striked me most about this shop is, the hole in the ceiling. Look at the photo. The hole is the means for shoes stocked in the second floor to be tossed to the shopfloor! I spent some minutes awing the tossing activities ; )

    Sandals & Indian-style embroidered shoes. Personally I fancy these, especially since Mumbai has more variety than my hometown, only thing is, the embroidered shoes might not last my robust lifestyle in equatorial-weather Singapore.

    I bought a pair of sandals myself, but let me tell you the price is no less than what I would pay in Singapore, so it wasn't a saving for me to buy in India ; )
