Mumbai: A city of high-rises, cine stars, studios, plush markets and the Taj Mahal Hotel facing Gateway Of India. This is how we normally construe the seven island city. However, there are places that are less visited, even lesser known yet romantic.
There is a reason why Mumbai is said to be the 'city of dreams'. Let's re-discover some such offbeat places in the pulsating metro.
1. MID NIGHT CHAI AT WORLI SEAFACE
In India, people say chai even before they say hi. Be it early morning or late night, cutting or full, there's something magical about a cup of hot tea by the bay. Far from the maddening rush coexists a certain tranquility along the shores of the city which is best enjoyed sipping a cup of hot chai.
2. SHOPPING AT 'DHARAVI KACHARPATTI'
Dharavi, as we all know, houses the largest slums in Asia. Well, what we don’t know is, Dharavi market in Mumbai is the perfect place to shop. From leather jackets to bags, accessories to jewellery, Dharavi market has it all.
3. THE SO-BO BRITANNIA
Britannia and Company Restaurant , where age is just a number. An Irani Café at Ballard Estate where you are served by a young man of 93, with finger-licious delicacies that has an exclusive Persian flavour. At this age, Boman Kohinoor is no less than a charming and dynamic restaurateur the city is proud of.
4. TEASE YOUR TASTEBUDS AT BACHELORRS
After a day long struggle with the hustle and bustle of the megapolis, there can be nothing more relaxing than taking the family for a long drive on the Queens Necklace and pampering yourself with personalised service at Bachelorrs. Dip yourself into a delightful strawberry shake and rejuvenate your senses into a true Mumbai mania ishtyle.
5. GRUB AT HEARSCH BAKERY
Welcome to Hearsch Bakery, Bandra! Here an unmistakable Goan charm awaits you in a typical cottage nestled amidst shady trees in the most happening western suburbs of Mumbai. Their burgers, wraps, confectioneries and chilled Ninbu Pani is a total treat to the famished soul. Rumour has it that Salman Khan himself frequents this place rather often.
Yeh nahi dekha toh kya dekha!
