7 Flea & Street Markets in South Mumbai That You Shouldn't Miss
Though Mumbai can feel chaotic and crowded, there are peaceful moments to be found here. Nibble a paper cone of bhelpuri while you stroll the sands of Chowpatty Beach. Then, take a short walk to Mani Bhavan, where Mahatma Gandhi once lived, strategized, and was ultimately arrested. The markets are spirited places to bargain for spices or souvenirs. Take a guided tour of Dharavi – made famous by "Slumdog Millionaire" – for an eye-opening glimpse into what Mumbai life is like for nearly a million people.

Step into Chor Bazaar ( Mutton St for retro/ antiques) - the number of small shops has unique and vintage Raj, brass and mid century collectibles , great tins, Air India, Bollywood posters. There is literally something for every collector that your not going to find elsewhere. Prices are cheaper than Australia and negotiable but traders understand the unique nature of their stock. In saying that I did find an old Seiko Pepsi Chronograph $500 AUD cheaper than online. Some traders are a bit reserved, but I had a great experience with Mustafa st Antique Paradise ( trustworthy and fair). The Bazaar is an intense sensory experience and make sure you know where your wallet is located. Hotel drivers don’t like the Bazaar as there is no commission for them. Take a punt - you’ll love it if your a genuine collector

A few months ago, before this outbreak of coronavirus was just a blur on the horizon, my friend and I were on the look out for decent lamps for our outdoor patio project. A friend of us suggested a place called the "Chor Bazar". While not unheard of by me, I was taken aback by the assurance of this friend of mine that I will find what I need over there. Me and Vivek (the project buddy) took a long drive from Andheri to South Mumbai, and finally reached the hallowed ground - the Crawford Market area (which is a lively fruit wholesale market by the wee hours of morning, and a front for the Chor Bazar, by the afternoon). Vivek and me parked at one of the many pay-n-parks around the location, and began our adventure on foot. While we eventually found our way to the many lamp dealers in the market, we were also greeted my honestly fascinating odds and ends all over the place. Home decor, electronics and dinner-sets galore - everything was unique to say the least. We could've wrapped the whole affair in an hours time, but somehow, three and a half hours proved insufficient. It was a hoot. A definite MUST visit for thrift shopping. ~Sanjeev Nanda

Nice place to buy artificial Jewellery and also a good place to visit. This market is itself a heritage. One should be expert in the bargain the price even though some shops have a fixed price list. Great range of ornaments is available here with the latest fashion.

Went to this amazingly colourful place which is just 10 mins walk from Dadar Railway Station in Mumbai. Though flowers are why this place is so popular, we went there to fulfill one of our photographic goals- to do flower photography in one of the largest flower markets in the country. You can find flowers of a variety of shapes and colours all over the market. The best time to reach there is early morning at around 6-7 AM when the market takes the form of a colourful canvas. Add to that the magnificent smell of the flowers. Magical! From flower-buying point of view, you can find all varieties of flowers, even in bulk at a very cheap rate, if you have excellent bargaining skills! From cleanliness point of view, this market is bit congested and not super clean. Tips: Talk to the vendors, they are super friendly. They will allow you to take pictures of flowers. Just be careful about one thing. Don’t take their photos without their permission. If you love photography and are staying in Mumbai, don’t ever forget to include this awesome market in your bucket list!
