Shopping & Entertainment Near Nashik Road – Where Locals Actually Go (2026)
Last updated: August 2026
When people ask about shopping and entertainment near Nashik Road, Nashik, what they really want to know is: if I live here, will my weekends be any good, or will I be driving to College Road every time?
Honest answer: Nashik Road covers your daily and weekly life comfortably, and it has improved a lot. For a big premium mall day out, you will still head 12–14 km west once or twice a month. Most residents find that trade-off entirely reasonable — and one local review puts it well, noting that Star Plus Mall broke the habit of going into Nashik city for every small thing.
Here is the complete picture.
Shopping Near Nashik Road
Star Zone Mall — the Nashik Road anchor
Location: Viraj Corner Road, near Yes Bank, Dawkhar Wadi, Nashik Road
Hours: 10:00 am – 9:30 pm daily · Rating: ~4.1/5 across 4,000+ reviews
The main organised retail destination inside Nashik Road, and the one most residents mean when they say “the mall”. Brand presence includes Reliance Trends, Puma, Skechers, Metro and RedTape, alongside an electronics showroom, a gym, and banking including Yes Bank and HDFC home loans.
Also useful to know: the Passport Seva Kendra is located here, roughly 2 km from Nashik Road railway station — which is why the mall gets steady weekday footfall from across the district.
(Aditya Developers’ own office is in this building — S3, E Wing, 4th Floor.)
Star Plus Mall
Location: Anand Nagar, Deolali Gaon, near Muktidham
Hours: 10:00 am – 9:00 pm · Rating: ~4.4/5
A well-built commercial complex with generous parking, mixing retail, offices, showrooms and healthcare — Jeevanjyot Hospital operates from the 4th floor. Locals credit it with reducing the need to travel into the city for routine needs.
CITI Arcade, Jail Road
Location: Jail Road, Krishna Colony · Hours: 8:00 am – 9:00 pm
A three-storey neighbourhood commercial arcade serving the Jail Road belt — grocery, clothing, a gym, coaching classes, home furnishing, decoration and event material, hardware, and printing. It is functional rather than polished, and reviewers note the common areas could be better maintained, but it covers most everyday errands without leaving the locality.
The traditional markets — where the value actually is
Nashik Road’s real shopping strength is not the malls; it is the street markets and neighbourhood bazaars around Bytco Point, the Nashik-Pune highway stretch, Datta Mandir, Nandur Naka, Upnagar and Dasak.
Here you get:
– Daily vegetables and fruit at genuinely local prices
– Kirana and provisions with home delivery
– Tailoring, alterations, footwear repair
– Electrical, hardware, plumbing supplies
– Gold and jewellery shops with established local reputations
– Sweet shops, bakeries and namkeen stores
Residents consistently list markets at walkable distance among the top reasons they rate this locality highly.
For a bigger shopping day — 12–14 km west
Destination | Location | What it offers |
Nashik City Centre Mall | Untwadi Road, Parijat Nagar (~13 km) | The city’s flagship mall — national brands, large food court, PVR Cinemax, festive events. Rated ~4.3/5 across 41,000+ reviews |
Shraddha Mall | College Road (~14 km) | Star Bazaar for groceries and Zudio for value fashion under one roof |
Muhurat Shopping Mall | Lavate Nagar, Parijat Nagar (~13 km) | Ethnic and wedding shopping across three floors, in-house tailoring |
Entertainment & Cinemas Near Nashik Road
Mukta A2 Cinemas, Regimental Plaza Mall
Location: Regimental Plaza Mall, near Bytco Point, Gayakhe Colony, Nashik Road
The closest multiplex to most of Nashik Road, formerly PVR Cinemax and since refurbished. Reviewers highlight recliner seating at reasonable prices, a genuinely large Screen 1, good sound and more sensibly priced food after the renovation. Screen 2 is noticeably smaller — book Screen 1 if you have a choice. Parking is the main complaint; the complex has no dedicated cinema parking.
Vijay Mamta Cinemas
Location: Old Nashik-Pune Highway, opposite Prasad Chambers, Shivaji Nagar, Nashik Road
Rating: ~3.8/5 across 11,000+ reviews
A long-standing, very high-footfall cinema on the highway with a large screen and ample paid parking. Reviews are mixed — some praise the screen size and sound, others find the auditorium-to-screen proportion and pricing inconsistent. Convenient, and busy for a reason.
For a premium screen
PVR Cinemax at Nashik City Centre Mall (~13 km, rated ~4.2/5) and MovieMax at The Zone, College Road (~14 km) offer the best picture and sound in the city. Worth the drive for a big release.
Places to Visit and Unwind Near Nashik Road
Muktidham Temple
Roughly 2–3 km from Nashik Road station. A white-marble temple complex housing replicas of the twelve Jyotirlingas, with the Bhagavad Gita inscribed on its walls. It is a genuine landmark and a calm place to spend an evening — and it is the reference point locals use for the entire Anand Nagar area.
Shrine of the Infant Jesus
Within a few kilometres of most Nashik Road addresses, this is one of Nashik’s most visited pilgrimage sites and draws large crowds on Thursdays.
Deolali Camp
A short drive south. One of India’s oldest cantonments, with wide tree-lined roads, colonial-era architecture, a cooler microclimate and a genuinely different pace. A standard Sunday morning drive for Nashik Road families.
Local parks and open spaces
Jail Road specifically is known for well-maintained municipal parks, and the locality’s relatively low pollution and semi-village calm are frequently cited by residents. Durga Garden near Anand Nagar is a common evening spot.
