Honestly i always loved Landmark more, but for the last few months, I've been bowled over by the collection of books that Crossword has! From anime to literature to mass paperback to comics to thrillers to biographies to learning to non-fiction and almost every genre, its there. The displays are wonderful and eye-catching, but the only problem is that their topmost shelves are so high it's difficult for book lovers to be able to see what's on those shelves. I also haven't seen much discount in store so there are times when i have left out on a book as it was quite expensive and the same book was available at a better deal online. The staff is alright but not that knowledgeable about the books and cannot give much recommendation about books, at least that is what i have seen in their Vashi Inorbit store. For those who already know their books, they won't need recommendations anyway, but personally i have discovered many interesting books at Landmark whose staff was way knowledgeable. They also keep interesting games and stationary items, so all in all its a good place to go to.

  • Charley Peace

Entering Crossword Bookstores felt like stepping into a portal that transported me into a world of literary wonders. From the moment I crossed the threshold, I was greeted with a warm smile from the friendly staff, setting the tone for what turned out to be a delightful and enchanting experience. The bookstore was a bibliophile's dream come true – shelves upon shelves, adorned with books of every genre, beckoning me to explore and get lost in their pages. The smell of freshly printed pages and old tomes combined to create an intoxicating scent that any book lover would instantly recognize and cherish. As I roamed through the well-organized aisles, I marveled at the diverse collection of books. Classics from the past stood shoulder-to-shoulder with contemporary bestsellers, while niche genres were given ample space to shine. It was clear that Crossword had curated its selection with care and passion for literature.

  • AceRoadie

A Crossword book store at Inorbit, Vashi (located on level 2, nothing special about it). I think they should focus on selling books instead of distracting customers to buy perfume etc. I was with family and kids to buy books for myself and kids. I got irritated when sales girl came to ask to test some perfume etc. Customers visit to read new books and see what's latest to read but push sell more and extra stuff irritates. Be mindful on such kind of behavior to loyal customers. Guy who did billing wasn't efficient and took time to complete the process.

  • Yash Purohit

A remarkable place for all book lovers. It has a wide collection of of books for all the popular genre, and if you are into the popular books, this store, I believe, will not disappoint you. But if your taste is too literary, then probably this is not the place for you. For instance it has (at least when I visited the place) Joyce's "portrait of artist" but not "Ulysses", Rushdie's "Victory city" and "quichotte" but not "Midnight's Children" and "Language of truth". PS: It also has Manga collection such as "Death note" and "Naruto".

  • Vedhas Vinjamuri

Crossword, as always, has the GREATEST collection of books in a physical bookstore. Ambience is something you don't get when you shop online, and Crossword manages to pull you in with exactly that. A calm ,open place with books galore, Crossword knows what brings the readers in, and they respect it. I always love browsing for books here, even if I'm carrying the burden of my backlog! Definitely my hangout, Crossword is a place I'd visit over any other bookstore time and again. And hey, the Free Authority shirts do help!

  • Nikita “Ar.nS” Sheth

They ruin the entire reading and buying experience by overloading your senses in all ways possible. They had atleast 2 different kinds of music playing and had overloafed the ambience with loud lights. The store manager didn't bother stopping either of the music even upon request. Also the vast range and category of books is no longer an attraction as most of the store space is designated to children's toys and clothes and other sorts of items. Landmark on the 1st floor is a much better option to purchase books.

  • Deepa Makkad

Crossword was once my favourite book shop. The other day when I visited was the outlet at Inorbit ,sadly found the place so quiet. Unfortunately the book store hardly had customers though the books were on discount. The books collection I felt had reduced but the staff were very helpful. So many interesting books at 50 percent offers. The bookshop has a good stock but I feel people have stop reading. It still is my favourite place for books though I found it a bit deserted. Something missing.

  • Kiran Gavhane

Crossword is always a amazing book store. But, when it comes to marathi book, I never find single marathi book from marathi author. What you can found here in marathi is only Amish Tripathi's translated books. Of course they are good, but really there are no good marathi author so you don't keep their books. Or does people really stopped reading marathi books? I'm not sure for the last statement as I always come here in the hope of find single good Marathi book.

  • Vincent Sony J K

It no longer exudes the allure and glory of years past... Because in August 2021, Shoppers Stop Ltd, a chain of department stores, transferred control of Crossword Bookstores to the owners of Agarwal Business House (ABH) for about 41.6 crores. After that, they function exactly like any other bookstore, with a small staff, a little familiarity with the writers, etc. That was my encounter at InOrbit's Vashi Mall.

  • Vishal Panjwani

I was lucky that I visited here to search a particular book that I needed. I was having difficulties finding it as it was nowhere else, but crossword!! When asked about the book they had single copy of it, which was my share of luck. You won't believe the name of that book "Zen and the art of happiness", finding it was such a joyful event and the book just complements that event.

  • Gaurav Koshe

This is a book store located inside raghuleela mall in vashi. The mall is almost closed yet some shops are open, crossword is one of them. There are a lot of books available there. And also sometimes there is sale going on. So you can get some deals. Having said that, you can get cheaper rates at the stalls near side of the road. As Some books at the store seems like a 1st copy.

  • Priyanka Arora

I usually come here to read and yes to buy my painting stuffs and novels. The employees over here are cooperating . About the ambience as it has the organized way of keeping their stuffs. Being a photographer too I am more fascinated by the lightings. It Does not hurt your eyes when you read. The mild music and the smell of books it feels really something different.

  • Mithran Jayan

Useless shop! Useless staff! Dusting in front of my babys face. Useless piece of s#!+ staff. These idiots try to fool customers by cheating. Sarfaraz and Gajanand. Cleaners name is Surdev. Requesting crossword to do do quality check on staff because of bad service your loosing sales, customers moving from big stores to tiny shops and it will get worse.

  • Chandan Salvi

It's always so soothing to visit Crossword. All those books around you takes you down the memory lane. Total nostalgia. This particular store is comparatively small but filled with books from brim to brim. I got what I wanted and also found something which I was not expecting to find. Worth the visit. Go on, you won't be disappointed. Happy reading!!

  • Shubham Borchate

Im regular customer of specially this store.staff here is very polite and humble and they are always there for help.I personally started going to crossword because they had original books of publishers.I was got scamed by amazon two times before because the books that i used to buy online used to be duplicate copies.CROSSWORD IS TRUST WORTHY.

  • Shashank Kadam

Books for all. All kind of books available in this store. All kind of stationary items. Different types of Learning games, skill developing games, games for developing motor skills for children. Helpful staff, they can help understand what's in the box and you can also ask for trial. Amazing shopping experience ️ …

  • Shyamdas S Mallya

Great place to pick up books and stationery. There top 20 section is my favourite place to find out what's interesting. Toys section is curtailed a lot and clothing also gone out. So it's dedicated to books and gifts now ..my kids started reading from here. Kids collection is amazing and spacious enough to sit down and read.

  • Uddhav Kulkarni

Located in Inorbit mall Vashi. All kinds of books are available here. They have arranged some space to seat and quickly get a reading insight of a book. Amazon Kindle is also available here. Good variety of children's books. They have some gift articles also for sell. Quote printed T-shirts, Mugs, etc are also available.

  • Rishi Kalapi

Crossword sets a really great ambience for book lovers. There's a culture of browsing books and sitting down on the floor to read through the first few pages. They also help out with fetching you any book that you want and can't find it in that particular store. I deeply enjoy the Crossword stores every time I visit.

  • Raghav Malhotra

Staff is too lazy to call you back. I called three times, visited 1 time to check a book. They don't care about sales. They just want to spend time 9 to 5 or what so ever. I suggest try landmark in Inorbit mall vashi. Atleast they attend customers and try to check what customer is asking for.

  • Shreeram Petkar

Has become a dull shadow of it's former self. The lighting is quite dull, there are no seats now for you to just sit and read. The staff doesn't greet you nor is their outlook enthusiastic. A complete turn off of an experience compared to the glory days of Crossword and Inorbit mall as such.

  • Ashwini Vispute

Many of the books aren't available in the store. There are majority of English books but Regional language books are very less. Found hardly two books in Marathi language. Very disappointing. Also staff was less. Even if it's Sunday they should keep at least 1 person in the books section.

  • Zahraa Basta

Do check out the store the staff is really friendly. I have written a young adult fiction 'Supernatural Secret' - Zahraa Basta. The placement of my book was not that great but as discussed with the staff my book placement was given justice. Do visit the store and give my book a try.

  • A Mathew

Basic bestsellers like Ikigai and 101 Essays, etc. weren't available...neither were bullet journals or Hauser pens. Actually, apart from the basic stationery and related stuff, they didn't have anything more than a decent stationery shop would stock. Quite disappointed.

  • Abbas Dhinojwala

They have a good and friendly staff to begin with. However their stocks seems to be slow moving to me. Because most of the times I just see same stuff for a long period of time but then it happens with a lot of business and this outlet is no exception.

  • Ritesh Rokade

You can sit & explore those pages of book. Has all sort of categories Books are up to date Staff is Good I stepped inside & the environment was lovely Even has the Mahabharata & Fiftyshades series as well...Should give it a try. All in one!

  • Siddhant Rana

One of my preferred locations for getting new sellers and best fiction outlets. There are wide variety of books from psychology, competitive exam references to children reads. Loved the silent and soothing ambience of this book corner.

  • S. H. Salunke

Good place to spend an hour or two in the company of books. Good variety. I think they should make the prices of the books little competitive to retain the purchases. By the way, this is my most favorite corner in the entire mall.

  • Animesh Singh

Books books and more books Generally most of the books are one which sells more, maybe they work that way because of limited space Staff is helpful and have through knowledge about there store and availability of books

  • Radhika Bhandari

I would have loved if people instead of pdf reading should have gone to bookstores like these to spend some quality time with their children, reading and buying books. Books are best friends forever - atleast for me.

  • Saurabh Tripathi

It's a pretty good place to know about the best/trending books in different categories. I like it mostly because you can also read there books without purchasing it. The environment is quite decent for a book store.
