A bit of everything at Meherchand Market

Today was one of the days when despite of the heat or the rain, I pick up my bag and get out of my house to explore a new part of Delhi and the destination was Meherchand market.

A website calls this market the new Khan market, another calls it Hauz Khas. Reviews were overwhelming and almost everybody called it a ‘rich mommy’ market.

I had seen a bit of this market while crossing the Lodhi Colony at times. It is right behind the India Habitat Center. (I guess many have noticed the CCD at the corner)

The lane isn’t very long, also there aren’t too many shops. It isn’t as big as Khan Market or as overwhelming as Hauz Khas. Shops aligned in a clean row along the pavement can easily be missed.

No hustling bustling of ladies, no cars struggling for parking, this place is quiet and fun to shop.

Like I said, there is a bit of everything – stores that you would identify from Khan Market or Hauz Khas or Shahpur Jat. Actually, I’d say I found the stores that I like in these places at one market. There are a few boutiques selling fashion, others selling accessories, there are a few of home décor and few with the cool stuff that we like to keep. There are a few café and restaurants, a coffee shop and a desert corner.

Drop in there on a Saturday morning (at least I did) and you will get the shop attendant’s complete attention. Be it for gift or for personal use, an occasion or just like that, explore this market and then maybe end up with a lunch at All American Diner at IHC.
