About Lower Parel
A hundred cotton mills stood here, and when they closed the compounds became offices, galleries, malls and restaurants without the street plan ever catching up. It is the densest eating and drinking district in the city and the most congested, often at the same time.
- Getting there
- Lower Parel on the Western line, or Prabhadevi, formerly Elphinstone Road. Both are a short walk from the mill compounds.
- When to go
- Evening and late. Weekday lunch is the office rush, which is worth avoiding unless you have booked.
Known for
- Kamala Mills and Todi Mills for restaurants and bars
- Palladium and the surrounding malls
- Rooftops looking towards the sea link
- Galleries and design studios in converted mill buildings
Tip. The compounds look close together on a map and are not. Confirm which mill your restaurant is in before you set off.
