Shopping in Delhi

 This is a generic piece which talks about shopping experience all over Delhi. If Delhites love one thing, it is shopping, shopping and more. And yes, my blog has paid ode to that by writing quite a few pieces on it.

Every colony has its particular shopping arcade, known for atleast a couple of wonderful things. Like markets of Chittaranjan Park which stock excellent Bengali cottons, vegetables and fish. The veritable shopping nooks include – Lajpat Nagar for its fantastic array of fabrics, dress materials, stitched kurtis, dupattas, trimmings, lace, footwear….what sets it apart is that it caters to almost all pockets. From the boutique wear to the bargain basement ones. Uppity Khan Market is excellent for branded wear what with Amrapali, Neemrana Shop, Anokhi, Biotique….and a host of well known names. G K I M block market if one can find place to park is filled with clothes, silverware, footwear and bags. The A block has Fab India. Quaint Hauz Khas village offers an interesting mélange of products – candles, handmade paper, antique furniture, one of a kind bookshops, cafes, silver jewellery, chic cottons, wicker furniture, old books….Shahpur Jat is where designers and one of a kind stores can be found. Meandering around the bylanes is a process of discovery with some interesting store cropping up at every corner.  Sarojini Nagar and Janpath top in bargainable products of the affordable variety. Nothing infra dig but excellent to scour around. The list is never ending – Santushti Complex, Qutab on the Crescent, Meher Chand Market, Connaught Place and not to forget the overflowing Karol Bagh which is a be all and end all of shopping.

Then there are the malls – the best of it – Select City Walk in Saket. There is DLF Place and MGF Metropolitan mall. The malls in Vasant Kunj include Ambience, DLF Emporio, DLF Promenade. These are the posh malls in South Delhi. There are plenty of malls in East, West and North Delhi.

 The following posts on this blog pertain to shopping in Delhi, which you may find useful. These are on the timings and the days market are closed in Delhi, the art of bargaining and more.
