Hakimi Unani Dawakhana

You can find us at Shop No 11 in the Bindeshwari Building. We are located in the Dharavi T Block area, specifically near the Midc Indrayani Nagar side. It’s right by the Century Enka Chowk, not far from the S P M Medical center. Dharavi is a place that never really stops moving, and our shop is right in the middle of all that energy. We focus on Unani medicines, which involves a lot of traditional herbs, minerals, and natural extracts. The shop isn’t very big, so every inch of the wall is covered with small drawers and containers. Each one has something different inside—seeds, barks, or oils. It takes a long time to learn where everything is kept. People walk in asking for all sorts of remedies, and we spend time measuring things out on a small scale. It’s hands-on work. The air here always smells like spices and dried plants. We don't have any shiny signs or big glass windows. It’s a practical shop meant for people who know what they are looking for. The traffic at the chowk can be quite a headache during the evening rush, but we stay open to make sure people can get their supplies after they finish work. It is a humble place, and we do things the old-fashioned way. There’s no fancy computer system here; we mostly rely on what we know and the notes we’ve kept over the years.
