Useful for your trip
- Food
- Indian cuisine (idli, tosa, poha) can be eaten without any problems. The only time when the food was bad was Subway. The local cuisine is amazing.
- Save money
- Good cheese (cheddar, gouda, camembert) at Nature's Basket is very expensive - it is designed for wealthy expats, not for everyday diet.
- Tip
- In India, it is not pleasant to thank guests for food and do not help with dishes after dinner - this is considered a hint that the hostess does not cope well.
- Avoid
- In the Bandra area, housing is very expensive despite the old buildings. It is a popular area where Bollywood stars live.
- Avoid
- A big problem with dirt and garbage in the city. People throw garbage anywhere, even on highways from car windows, despite the presence of garbage cans.
- Timing
- Indians live in the moment and are often late - this is the norm. If an Indian says 'in 5 minutes', it means 'Indian 5 minutes'.
- Tip
- Sunday is a good day to visit popular areas like Bandra as they are usually packed on weekdays.
