Located in Lodhi Colony, this market is usually just given a fleeting look but as they rightly say “beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder”. One must explore this place to enjoy it to the utmost. This place boasts of both big & small retailers as well as some upcoming restaurants. Touted as the next upcoming Hauz Khas Village, you can’t afford to miss this place.

So what if you haven’t been to the Eiffel Tower, drop by at Chez Nini for some lip-smacking French Cuisine. The Bagels Café is a hot-spot for its quirky & different bagels on offer & is a must visit.

Shopping

For the shopaholics, take your pick from the handicraft stores, cutlery stores, furnishings or traditional Indian cultural souvenirs. Visit Karigari for its assortment of contemporary & vintage looking furniture; Soma for its unique hand block-printed clothes; and Appna which is run by the famous Indian personality Nafisa Ali, redefining your idea of style & clothing. Crazy Daisy will make your loved ones go crazy when you gift them with one of its handcrafted, colourful gifts.

The market has a lazy vibe to it making it a perfect getaway for those Sunday afternoons as you stroll around on the wide walkways after having safely parked your conveyance in an uncluttered parking spot.

The market’s clean look is a far cry from Delhi’s other shabbier neighbours. Take your loved ones for a walk around this emerging place in Delhi.
