Ballon Carnival

A loud, joyful corner of costumes, balloons and party hardware for the city's small celebrations.

Walked and verified in person by The Lower Parel Project. Nobody pays to appear in this guide. Something out of date? .

More shops in Curry Road end

A pocket-sized cafe with churros, hot chocolate and a window seat that watches the whole lane wake up.

Old-school eye exams, new-school frames. A father-and-son shop where they remember your prescription.

The neighbourhood's worst-kept wholesale secret — staples, snacks and bulk pantry stock at honest prices.

Stationery, school supplies and printer cartridges — the small shop that quietly powers half the offices on the block.

Rolling papers, lighters, and the late-night essentials. Tucked behind the main road.

A florist and gift shop where bouquets, hampers and hand written cards get put together while you wait.
