Brushing teeth with tap water is perfectly fine, especially in any of the hotels you're staying in, which have additional filtration. I have accidentally drank the tap water at my house too and have been ok so brushing is not gonna be an issue.

I honestly would not spend time in either the Dharavi or Dhobi Ghat, it's genuinely not something that anyone from here particularly cares for, and honestly there's way more art and culture to see in the city than spend time here.



Some other place recommendations (don't miss Bombay Canteen though, their cocktails and the tartare are incredible):

1. Bombay Daak, Bandra: interesting experimental food with good drinks
2. Toto's, Bandra: old local dive bar, very crowded but fun (don't expect cocktails here)
3. Pali Village Cafe/Pali Bhavan, Bandra: co-located restaurants with great food
4. Sixteen 33, Bandra: solid cocktail bar, sometimes crowded
5. Eau Bar, at the Oberoi: great for a sunset cocktail
6. Harbour Bar, at the Taj Mahal Palace: India's first licensed bar
7. Olive Bar and Kithcen, Bandra: celeb-spotting spot with incredible food
