On food, be practical
Bandra is a mixed-eating suburb, and plenty of what is sold along and around this seafront includes egg, meat or seafood, so the most useful habit here is to read the board and ask before ordering. Pure-vegetarian eating is still easy once you know where to look. The lanes around Hill Road and the Bandra market area, roughly 2 km inland, hold long-running Udupi-style tiffin rooms serving idli, medu vada, sambar and filter coffee from breakfast until late — look for a counter that states "pure vegetarian" on its signage rather than assuming. Gujarati and Jain-style thali kitchens near Linking Road do unlimited lunch thalis, and the suburb's mithai and farsan shops are a dependable stop for dhokla, khakhra and fresh sweets. On the promenade itself, carts selling roasted corn, tender coconut water, cut fruit, bhelpuri and vada pav are vegetarian by nature, but a quick word with the vendor is worth it if the same cart handles anything else.
