Mashhoor Dawakhana

Mashhoor Dawakhana is at Number 1 in Masjid Bunder West. We are right opposite the Swaminarayan Mandir. If you can find the temple, you can find us. It’s a very busy part of the city. There’s always music or bells or people talking outside. We’ve been at this spot for a very long time. The building is old but it works for what we need. Inside, it smells like herbs and different medicines. We have shelves lined with all sorts of things. It’s not like a modern pharmacy with bright lights and glass. It’s more traditional and simple. People come to us from all over because they know the name Mashhoor Dawakhana. We don't do any big promotions. We just open the doors and help whoever comes in. Sometimes the line gets a bit long because we like to take our time with everyone. Masjid Bunder West is a place where everyone is in a hurry, but inside here, things are a bit slower. We’ve seen generations of families come through these doors. It’s a small shop but it has a lot of history. We just keep doing what we’ve always done. The Swaminarayan Mandir across the street is a beautiful sight every morning when we open up. We are just a local place trying to do right by our neighbors. It gets really crowded on festival days but we don't mind the noise much. We just keep the shop open and keep working through it all.
