Red & Yellow Lines: The Refreshment Route
The Red and Yellow lines are relatively newer, with similar chains available at every station. Stop by Monginis for their famous Chicken Pattice, or their Choco Lava Cake, that will satisfy the sugar rush you’ve been craving. If you’re a tea lover, you’re spoiled for choice: there’s Girnar Tea, Society Tea and Maha Chai. We personally recommend the Lemon Tea from Girnar Tea

Blue Line: A Shopper’s paradise
The Blue Line does not just connect the eastern and western suburbs, it is 12 mini malls disguised as active stations. Since it is the first Metro line in Mumbai, it has had ample opportunity to evolve with time and offer a greater spectrum of amenities

If you’re a bibliophile on a budget, Metro Books (on almost every station on this line) is a goldmine, with fiction and non-fiction titles starting at just Rs 100. 

Similarly, Metro Toys at Andheri is your local Toys-R-Us with its numerous games and toys. There is also a range of clothing stores, phone accessories and jewellery shops for those impulsive shopping urges

Want a quick bite? Check out Faredoons, a beloved bakery chain at Andheri Metro station. We recommend the Salli Chicken Bun (Pav Bhaji Bun for vegetarians) and the Cruffins, followed by a Raspberry Soda to wash it all down

Don’t miss unique experiences like The Scan and Shop at DN Nagar, X5 Market at Ghatkopar, the chicken potato chops are a must try at Rustam Irani Bros at Gundavali, and Ozkool Coffee Vending Machine at Versova station

The regulars on the Blue line are McDonald’s, KFC, Jumboking, South Indian Tiffin House, Tibb’s Frankie, and 7/11
