India GOCrawford Market & Zaveri Bazaar
The Bazaar Quarter
A Victorian market under a clock tower: mountains of fruit and spice, with the gold of Zaveri Bazaar and the fabric street of Mangaldas behind. One hour of haggling = all of India.
The old city's bazaar belt: Crawford Market under its Victorian roof (fruit, spices, everything), the gold rows of Zaveri Bazaar, the textiles of Mangaldas Market and the meaty street food of Bhendi Bazaar. Dense, loud, real: Mumbai trading the way it did a century ago. Bag in front, and bargain.
Who it suits

Staying here
Nowhere and no reason to stay: a day expedition from Fort or Colaba.
In the evening
The bazaars wind down by evening; in Ramadan the food lanes of Mohammed Ali Road run all night.
