This is an interesting thread for me cause for decade i have been thinking of visit Mumbai but it just hasnt happened. Would be nice if people could list places (with days and time) to visit assuming it was pre covid time.

On food, you must try out stuff that you won’t get elsewhere in India. 
 

Malvani thali and sea food as others have mentioned. 
Pav bhaji, misal pav, sabudana wada and other maharashtrian snacks. There are many restaurant in Parle, Dadar and Thane that are par excellence. 
Parsi food.

Finally My Maharashtra trip ended today . Visited Mumbai , Mahabaleshwar, Lavasa , Alibag. Also went in Pune Lonawala for brief time. Stupid lockdowns created lots of problems especially when one district is open and other is closed

You went all the way to Mumbai and did not meet @Mariyam. That is a wasted trip right there.

I traveled in Mumbai around Saki Naka marol Ghatkopar.did not travel much because of tourist places shutdown.

The place is like Delhi of 90s . Buses in bad condition , taxi's in bad condition. Food is ok . Street food is good but did not like sweet Sambhar. While in Mahabaleshwar food was good people very friendly . One thing surprised me that Samosa very small one in roadside eateries is Rs.15 while Vada pav is also same rate .  Roads in Maharashtra even on hills are quite good. though at some places I found it small  but my brother who is very good driver and even drove on roads of Shimla and Uttarakhand said that these roads are nothing dangerous as compared to those. Overall it was beautiful experience and will definitely want to visit again once lockdown completely over

I was in Lonavala a few days back and the view is simply breath taking.

Old Pune highway?

Isn't the expressway on the opposite side, ie towards Fariyas? 

 

I could be wrong. I'm bad at this. And those roads all mesh together at Lonavala.

I an equally bad in directions but remember some resort staff telling me it's expressway. 

 

This resort and a long drive all over Konkan are in my bucket list, whenever I visit India next.
