Khan Market

Top choice in Delhi

LoginSave

Khan Market is Delhi's most-upmarket shopping enclave, the most expensive place to rent a shop in India, and is favoured by the elite and expats. Its boutiques focus on fashion, books and homewares, and it's also a good place to eat and drink.

For handmade paper, check out Anand Stationers, or try Mehra Bros for cool papier-mâché ornaments. Literature lovers should head to Full Circle Bookstore and Bahrisons. For Indian clothes and homewares, hit Fabindia, Anokhi, or Good Earth, and for elegantly packaged ayurvedic remedies, browse Kama.
