Juhu beach is one among the main tourist spots in Mumbai.Like Chowpatty Beach, it is a popular place to spend time in the evenings and enjoy the appetizing local snacks of Mumbai.You should definitely taste Paanipuri and Pav Bhaji here.We stayed for a week in Mumbai and everyday I ate paanipuri and Bhelpuri.Chats were very tasty here compared to what we get in Bangalore and people eat paanipuri everywhere roadside,busstop,shopping place. Usually all taxi drivers eat 2 VadaPav [6Rs/- each] and a chai which makes their breakfast..I understood why my northy friends feel dried here in South!! :)
I will try to post the chats recipes in my cooking section soon.
Juhu area is also one of the posh areas in Mumbai where you can see all the branded show rooms,luxury hotels and resorts as well as most of the Bollywood actors bunglaws.You can find Mocha,Coffeeday and some roof garden restaurants.We enjoyed our dinner in a nice Italian Restaurant here..

Mumbai has some nice places to see and explore but they dont know how to promote tourism.You go to beach you will find garbage everywhere!. You stand for sometime , a local photographer will come and bug you for a photo click, a mehendi lady offering mehendi for hands [ which is basically chemical ] , baloonwala,chanawala,paanwala…like this.There is nothing good about this.They need to do their business but they dont understand that they are annoying tourists with their behavior!!.

As I was trying different snacks in the Juhu Beach my husband tried his hands on silhouette photography.. uploaded are some of his pics..the sun was setting and you can see the colour of the sky…shades changing from orange to blue then to grey… beauty of nature!!
