Malls in Andheri East: Full List with Distances and Timings (2026)
Dasadia Editorial Team · Updated August 2026
The 30-Second Answer
Here is the honest version most lists will not tell you: Andheri East does not have a large full-format shopping mall of its own. What it has is retail strips, standalone stores and business-park podium shopping along Andheri-Kurla Road and the Western Express Highway. Every big mall commonly listed under “Andheri East” is actually in Andheri West, Goregaon East, Kurla or Ghatkopar. The good news is that four of them sit within eight kilometres, and the metro reaches three of them without a road leg. This guide lists each one, says plainly which suburb it is really in, and gives the distance and timings.

What Andheri East Actually Has
Andheri East grew as an industrial and corporate district rather than a retail one. SEEPZ, the MIDC estate and the office belt along Andheri-Kurla Road absorbed the land that in other suburbs went to malls, and the result is a shopping landscape built around convenience rather than destination retail.
In practice that means three things. First, podium and ground-floor retail inside commercial complexes — Business Square in Chakala, opposite Kanakia Wall Street, is a good example, anchored by a large electronics store. Second, street retail, concentrated around Chakala, Marol Naka and the lanes off J.B. Nagar, plus Barnard Market for everyday goods. Third, standalone big-box outlets for groceries, electronics and furniture along the highway and Andheri-Kurla Road.
For a weekly grocery run, a phone repair or a quick wardrobe top-up, none of this is a disadvantage — it is often faster than a mall. What Andheri East does not offer is the single-roof experience: a multiplex, a food court, an anchor department store and sixty brands in one air-conditioned building. For that, you travel. The rest of this guide is about where.
It is worth understanding why the listings are so confused. Search engines treat “Andheri” as one place, so a mall on Oshiwara Link Road — firmly on the western side of the railway line — gets tagged to Andheri East as readily as to Andheri West. Aggregator pages then compound the error by ranking results within a radius rather than within a boundary. The upshot is a genre of article that promises malls in Andheri East and delivers a list in which not one entry is actually there. Knowing which side of the tracks each mall sits on matters more than the kilometre figure, because crossing between Andheri East and West is its own journey.

Full List: Malls Near Andheri East
Distances are approximate road distances measured from the Chakala and J.B. Nagar area of Andheri East, and vary by several kilometres depending on your exact starting point. Cinema and restaurant hours usually run later than mall hours.
The Four Worth Knowing Properly
Oberoi Mall, Goregaon East. Sitting directly on the Western Express Highway at Yashodham, this is the default choice for most Andheri East residents — it is the closest full-format mall and the easiest to reach by road. It houses more than 140 international and premium brands across fashion, beauty, electronics and jewellery, with a PVR Icon multiplex and a substantial food court. Roughly 700,000 sq ft. Individual store and restaurant hours vary from the mall’s own.
Infiniti Mall, Andheri West. Built in 2004 on Oshiwara Link Road, this is the third-oldest mall in Mumbai and the second-oldest in the suburbs. It spans about 310,000 sq ft with roughly 65 stores, a six-screen PVR Icon, a food court and a family entertainment centre. Smaller and more compact than the Malad property, which makes it quicker to get through if you know what you want.
Phoenix Marketcity, Kurla. Opened in November 2011 and the largest in this cluster by a distance — around 2.1 million sq ft of retail across four floors, with a PVR multiplex running 14 screens, a bowling alley, an indoor snow park and the Dublin Square events area. It also opens earlier and closes later than the others, which makes it the practical option for a late evening.
R City, Ghatkopar West. About 1.2 million sq ft on LBS Marg with an INOX multiplex. Its single biggest advantage for an Andheri East resident is transit: Metro Line 1 runs from Chakala, Marol Naka or Saki Naka straight through to Ghatkopar, so the entire trip can be done without a car on a weekend when the highway is a car park.
Getting There Without a Car
This is where Andheri East’s transit depth pays off. Three of the malls above are reachable on the metro with no road leg at all, which on a Saturday evening is worth more than the distance saved.
Two practical notes. Metro Line 1 runs roughly 05:30 to 23:50, so a late film is fine on the Ghatkopar route. The Aqua Line, which serves Marol Naka, closes earlier at around 22:30 — useful for reaching BKC and South Mumbai, less so for a mall run that ends after ten.
A Word on Timings and Store Counts
Mall data online is unusually unreliable, and it is worth knowing why before you plan a trip around it. Phoenix Marketcity alone is variously listed as opening at 10:00 and closing at 22:30, and as running 11:00 to midnight. Its store count appears as “over 600” on some pages and 311 on others; restaurant counts range from 70 to over 100. Oberoi Mall is described as housing 117 stores in one place and 140-plus brands in another.
Distances are equally slippery. Andheri East runs from the Vile Parle border in the south to Jogeshwari in the north and from the railway line east to Powai, so a resident of Sakinaka and a resident of Chakala can be six kilometres apart before either leaves the suburb. Any single distance figure for “Andheri East to Oberoi Mall” is therefore a midpoint, not a measurement. Treat the numbers in the table above as a ranking rather than a satnav reading.
None of these sources is necessarily wrong. Counts drift as tenancies change, “stores” and “brands” are counted differently, and mall hours flex with multiplex schedules, festive seasons and civic advisories. The reliable rule is that most malls in this cluster open at 11:00 and shut at 22:00, that cinemas and restaurants stay open later than the retail floors, and that anything time-critical — a specific store, a late show, a festive extension — should be confirmed on the mall’s own website or phone line the same day.

Andheri West. It sits on Oshiwara Link Road, on the western side of the railway line, despite frequently appearing in lists titled “malls in Andheri East”.
Everyday needs are well covered — groceries, electronics, furniture and clothing through street retail around Chakala, Marol and J.B. Nagar, Barnard Market, and standalone stores along Andheri-Kurla Road.
Phoenix Marketcity, for the breadth of entertainment — snow park, bowling, arcade and a 14-screen multiplex alongside the retail.
Yes, all of them operate seven days a week, and weekends are their busiest period. Hours can extend during festive seasons, so check the mall’s own site.
Because hours flex with multiplex schedules, festive periods and civic advisories, and aggregator pages are often not updated. Treat 11:00 to 22:00 as the working assumption and confirm anything time-critical directly.

Not materially. Buyers in this belt prioritise commute, employment access and metro proximity over retail, and the suburb’s price performance reflects that. Retail access is a convenience factor rather than a pricing driver here.
Conclusion and Next Steps
Andheri East is a suburb built around work rather than weekend retail, and no amount of listicle padding changes that. What it does have is position — four full-format malls inside ten kilometres, three of them on the metro, and enough street and big-box retail that most weeks you will never need any of them.
The practical advice is to pick by route rather than by distance. On a weekday evening, Oberoi Mall is the fastest by road. On a Saturday, when the Western Express Highway and Andheri-Kurla Road are at their worst, the metro run to R City will beat it comfortably. Check the mall’s own website for hours before you leave, especially around festivals, and remember that cinema and restaurant timings do not match the retail floors.
