Must-Do in Mutton Street (Chor Bazaar): A Walkable checklist
Rows of antique and curio shops stacked with furniture, gramophones, glassware, coins, maps, and vintage Bollywood posters.
The street itself is an experience — narrow lanes with a bazaar-like feel, where shopkeepers are happy to chat and bargain.

Lucky Tea House & small Irani cafés – Great for a cup of cutting chai or bun maska.
Surti 12 Handi – Iconic Bohri joint serving slow-cooked meats.
