Kitab Khana in Mumbai has made its mark in the 'Most brilliant bookshops in the world.' In an article published by the 'Financial Times,' Mumbai's Kitab Khana is placed in the 7th position.

Kitab Khana (a home for books) is a wood-paneled bookshop in a colonial-era building located in Mumbai's southern Fort neighborhood. Once you enter the spacious two-storey library/bookstore, you will find books from various authors of different languages. They have books from multiple languages such as English, Hindi, Marathi, Gujarati written by Indian and International authors. 

There are cozy nooks to read books and little sticky notes wherein there are book recommendations written. The bookstore also holds regular talks and readings for kids. On the second floor, there is an extensive section consisting of Penguin Classics. 

Meanwhile, downstairs there are different categories such as fiction, non-fiction, history, politics, etc., where books are neatly arranged. There are a variety of books written by Indian and International authors. 

As you walk ahead, there is a cute coffee shop for all of you book lovers to sip coffee and read the book, and it's like a whole different world. 

The bookstore has recently made a comeback after a fire devastated its interior and destroyed tens of thousands of books last year. For all you bibliophiles out there, this place is no less than heaven where you can spend hours reading books and then eventually end up buying a few of them!
