Travel Essentials

Other items include a medicine kit, adaptors and scissors. My favourite is a roll-up pillow that I insert into a pillow cover at any hotel in the world to get the best sleep. Always.”

Mumbai Favs

“I love the vibe of Mumbai - from the evening breeze at Marine Drive to the plush environs of Bandra. I have loved walking through Dhobhi Ghat and Dharavi as well, both of which are equally intrinsic to the city. I also enjoy signing up for walking tours whenever I get the time.”

Owing to his profession, Mehigan has chef friends at some of the finest restaurants in Mumbai. Among his favourites are the Bombay Canteen, Masque, O Pedro and Joshi House.

Indian snacks like pani puri, papdi chaat, bhel puri, keema pav, pav bhaji, vada pav, malpua, jalebi – name it and Mehigan loves it! “While nothing beats street food on the street, you can also head to Swati Snacks to get your fill.”
