Lonely Planet review for Connaught Place

The heart of New Delhi is the vast traffic circle of Connaught Place and the seven streets that radiate from it, which are divided into blocks. It has an architecturally uniform series of colonnaded buildings devoted to shops, banks, restaurants, hotels and offices.

Often creating confusion, the outer circle is technically called 'Connaught Circus' (divided into blocks from G to N) and the inner circle 'Connaught Place' (divided into blocks from A to F). There's also a 'Middle Circle'. In 1995 the inner and outer circles were renamed Rajiv Chowk and Indira Chowk respectively, but these names are rarely used. Touts are especially rampant in Connaught Place.

    Reminiscent of British colonial rule in India, one of the most prominent markets and place to hang out! Watch movies at PVR Rivoli - (single screen).Big cinemas (multiplex).

    Eat at McDonals, Subway, KFC and Pizza hut. Cafe Coffee day, Costa Cofee and Barista are can loosely be termed as Indian equivalents of Starbucks! Check out Sarvana Bhawan for south Indian food at dirt cheap prices. Check out these eateries - Nizam's Kathi Kabab - north Indian-Non veg., United Cofee House - Indian cuisine, Pind Balucchi -north indian ,Berco's Express and Bengali Sweet House.Not to forget TAO - for chinese and thai. Restaurants offer Chinese, Thai, Continental, Indian,American, Mexican and Italian cuisines.

    All major international brands that you can think of in apparel , electronics , watches , footwear, opticals are available here. Visit Khadi Gram Udyog near PVR Rivoli for buying traditonal Indian Kurta Pyjama.Buy T-SHIRTS at Tantra! Do bargain shopping at Janpath! Book lovers visit Jain book Depot . Mahtaa and Co. in outer circle is the photographers' paradise! Vist for accesories

    Feast your tastebuds if you love street food. Street shopping fans can choose from hand woven fabrics, handicrafts , old books and novels for resale, fancy handmade jewellery and much more.

    In short , a mini Delhi in itself. Cant afford to miss this one out!

    Delve into the madness called Delhi here at connaught place. Live the Delhi culture. Experience the vivacity of this metropolis!!
