Chor Bazaar, which literally translates to “Thief Market” (!), is located at the Grant Road station on the Western Line and features street vendors selling a wide array of items for very cheap. Colaba Causeway is anther great tourist shop, located close to the Gateway of India. You can find authentic Indian souvenirs, antiques, carpets, and chandeliers.
