Amboli is an affluent neighbourhood of Mumbai in the Indian state of Maharashtra, in the Andheri (West) area. Amboli was earlier known as Ambolim. It is located very close to Andheri Station and Jogeshwari.

Landmarks

Amboli was primarily inhibited by East Indians and Tribal people called waarlis. There were but a handful of houses in and around the village and almost everyone knew the other. Amboli was laden with green fields and numerous Mango and coconut trees. The name Amboli also stemmed from the fact that there was a massive mango orchard(Aam = Mango). The most notable landmark in Andheri is the St. Blaise Church. A Bollywood film studio "Filmalaya" (owned by Mukherjee-Samarth family )is located on Ceaser Road in Amboli. The outdoor area of the studio was sold and a new building "Mayfair Meridian" has come up in its place. The indoor studio exists. Other notable landmarks are the shiv-sena shaka and the Joe n Helen Playground.

Educational institutions

Notable schools in Amboli include:

Restaurants

  • Amboli Bar & Kitchen[3] (now closed)
  • The Golden Twig[4]
  • Cafe Arfa[5]

Significant events

On 20 October 2011, Keenan Santos and Reuben Fernandes were murdered outside Amboli Bar and Restaurant at Mayfair Meridian.[6]
