Juhu sits on the western coast of Salsette Island, with Versova to the north, Vile Parle to the east and Santacruz to the south. Its beach runs about 5 km along the Arabian Sea, and the Juhu aerodrome, home of the Bombay Flying Club from the late 1920s, was the city's main airport until the end of the Second World War.1 So many film people live here that it is called the "Beverly Hills of Bollywood".1

The cafés divide between the beach side, along Juhu Road and Juhu Tara Road, and the residential streets of Vile Parle further east.

Local tip: Prithvi Café opens at 10:30, hours before the evening shows: come in the afternoon for an Irish coffee, and in November check the Prithvi Theatre Festival programme, 1–17 November.23
