Though the holy month of Ramadan is all about fasting and prayers but if you love food, all roads lead to Mohammad Ali Road in Mumbai!
Sweet fragrance in the air, prayers in the background, a beautifully illuminated mosque and a huge crowd of people sharing the commonness for delectable food is what truly defines Mohammad Ali Road. This street comes alive during the holy month of Ramadan and showcases thousands of small time eateries and restaurants spoiling you for choice!
This is the first time in 250 years that this iconic bazaar is left deserted (due to Covid-19). Last year, our visit to Mohammad Ali Road was one of our most memorable experiences, not only did we come across the humongous blissful spread during Ramadan but were immensely blessed to have witnessed some eyes that were looking for us to capture them! They say everything falls into place when you really want to do it... this night, we got some of our most magical captures & couldn’t believe the energy that we experienced! Here are some of our most memorable shots!
Be ready to get lost here, known to be active till the wee hours of morning, Mohammad Ali Road is every foodie’s heaven
