Trilogy Curated Bookshop and Library

What a wonderful place. One of my clients recommended this place and I had to check it out. It’s not too big and the collections are limited but you will find some nice surprises. I’m trying to get back to reading, so accustomed to audiobooks and I’m trying to break that habit. The owner is really sweet and helpful. Must visit for book lovers.

Oh my, if this isn’t a special little place in all of Mumbai. Amazing curated selection of books (and some stationary) and the most welcoming team. Loved everything about it - including asking for a shop stamp on my purchases! Truly recommend.

First time visitor. Came to the store on the recommendation of a friend. The staff, namely Mithil and Ahalya, are very sweet, welcoming and patiently answered all questions I had. I purchased Rahul Bhattacharya 's Railsong and when I got home, I realized it's a signed copy! This was a very happy surprise! The store may appear to be small but has a great collection going beyond the usual bestsellers we see at most larger book chains. If you're looking to explore new, less read titles, this is the place to go. Also, the upstairs lending library has a large and diverse collection. If you live in Bandra/Khar and a serious reader, I reckon it's well worth becoming a susbscribing member. One cool thing is that members can also sit in the cosy upstairs library and read.

One of my favorite things to do while traveling is visit bookshops and this one did not disappoint! The books were well organized and the collection curated. I wondered upstairs and was happy to find that the lending library also has fantastic titles. I ended up buying three books but if my bag had more space I would have gotten more. I enjoyed perusing and spent lots of time picking up books reading about them and putting them down. I didn’t feel rushed in anyway. The shop itself is down a very short ally and has a bright yellow sign making it easy to spot if you are looking for it.

Without a doubt the best book store in Bombay at this time. As a first time buyer, with no connections to the owners, we wandered in to Trilogy one afternoon with low expectations given our other experiences at book stores in Bombay (mostly mall stores, filled with pop sci, buisness books, religious books, or the same set of comics). However, we were pleasantly surprised! We left with too many books, some in Hindi (I'm working on improving my hindi, so thanks for that!), several indie comic books, and a delightful cross section of speculative fiction that I find myself returning to re-read often. We even found the perfect gift for my mom, a calendar fundraising for stray dogs and cats with the cutest pictures of indies and their doting humans in them. And yes, the owners are wonderful, and despite not knowing them before, we had a wonderful chat filled with useful recommendations curated to our tastes. Book shops are for browsing, it's odd to see reviews criticising a book store encouraging buyers to physically engage with their books. I guess the amazon age makes people buy books only based on their covers, I hope the poor souls scared of touching books get over it and experience the joy of holding a book, turning it's pages and even relishing the smell of new books!

Well this bookstore has everything anyone could ask, the vibe itself is curated by owners they deeply understand the vibe of a comfortable space to only read but to expand, thrive and delve into different realms.

Possibly my favourite bookstore in all of Bombay. Run by a lovely lady who is always willing to share her valuable insights and answer silly questions. A really good collection, I’m always able to leave with a book that feels exactly right. Also, it has the perfect book smell through the rooms which is arguably the best part!

Not worth the visit. The place is tucked away in a remote interior location, making it hard to find. The surrounding lane is narrow and unclean, adding to the unpleasant experience right from the start. Once inside, the management is unwelcoming and overly intrusive—constantly urging visitors to pick up a book and browse through, which feels more pushy than inviting. The collection itself is quite limited, and honestly, there’s not much to explore. As for the five-star reviews, they appear to come mostly from people who know the owner personally. First-time visitors are treated poorly, with a judgmental attitude from both the owner and staff. The overall experience was disappointing and uncomfortable. If you're expecting a warm, friendly space to enjoy books, this is not it. Avoid.
