This centuries old temple is one of the most popular, and most significant places of worship. Built back in 1801, the "Siddhivinayak" translates literally to "Ganesha who grants your wish."

It’s hard to get a table at this iconic restaurant, praised among India’s best. Paying homage to the Parsi cafés made famous in the city – a bit like a certain chain that’s done rather well across London, and the UK – the food here puts a modern twist on stone-cold Bombay classics, including purple tikki chaat, raan pot pies and a blinding coffee rasgulla sundae. Go with a big group – and an elasticated waistband.

Whether you come to pick up the souvenir of the trip or come in looking for a special gift, Induri Saree Centre is the ideal place to buy a superb, local saree. Perfect to elevate a day to day outfit. 

Aaswad Upahar & Mithai Gruh is a staple and a beloved culinary institution known for its authentic take on Maharashtrian home cooking. This hidden gem is rich in flavour and tradition, and offers standout dishes like the spicy misal pav and the heart-warming sabudana khichdi—both perfect for a late lunch filling meal after wandering around the city. For dessert: try their iconic puran poli and shrikhand. Whether you're a loyal local or a tourist, this spot is a must-visit for a true taste of Maharashtra’s vegetarian cuisine.
