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!!!

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.

What to buy: 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.

What to pay: 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.

this is one of many enclosed markets that have little aisles jam packed with clothes and handicrafts. Be prepared to haggle...you can get beautiful lenghas, salwars (ready made and stiched to order). I liked it cause it was across the street from my family's apartment building!

Philosophy : Modernity that draws inspiration from the past

What to buy: crockery, cutlery, candlestands, lamps, ashtrays, vases, etc...

What to pay: RS200-RS6000

I needed to buy films for my camera and someone who likes photography and is a good photographer too addressed me at the FotoCentre - digital imaging products

Shoppers'Stop is located in the northern suburbs but it's the city largest department store, and no doubt the shape of things to come.
