Where the Elite Reside
Bandra west has a constant buzz about it with the seashore, bollywood
stars, landmark infrastructure projects and posh suburban malls
Bandra has traditionally been referred to as the 'Queen of Suburbs', a sobriquet that inspired others to position Mulund as the 'Prince of the Suburbs' when the new millennium began.
It not only marks the beginning of suburbs along the western line but is better known for the celebrities that reside here, particularly the bollywood actors.
Bandra’s clubs and lounges are a great place to do some star spotting. The G7 multiplex (formerly known as Gaiety-Galaxy) near Bandra station is a good place to catch movie stars on screen if you don't get to see them in the flesh.
In terms of lifestyle, Bandra west is synonymous with great shopping, best bargains, renowned brand stores and entertainment options.
It is also the preferred destination for restaurants and thus it attracts crowds from all over the city and as well as foreigners.
When it comes to shopping, Hill Road is again a well-known and preferred location with Globus being the favoured mall. Spread across 3 large floors Globus showcases a wide collection of apparel, jewellery, gadgets like cell phones, watches, stylish eyewear. And much more.
Bandra west also has its share of 'fashion street' replicas offering everything from t-shirts featuring your favourite artistes and musicians. Try your bargaining skills and pick some tops, jeans, footwear and accessories. Shopping at Bandra fits every pocket and budget.
Bandra west is also famous for its beautiful churches and educational institutions like St Andrews College. Band Stand is where the lovely sea and greenery beckons. Here you can spend some quality time with your friends and family.
If you want to enjoy a leisurely evening-out with luscious greenery, a seafront and soothing zephyrs complementing your mood then Bandra Bandstand is the place to be. The growing number of couples frequenting the place and indulging in PDA (public display of affection) is almost taken for granted here.
The Taj Lands End hotel provides the luxurious setting this prime suburb needs and the Bandra Worli Sea Link highlights its position as the link between Mumbai city and its suburbs.
