What To Expect At Lal Quarter Market?

Lal Quarter Market is East Delhi’s entry to the city’s most teeming marketplaces. It is spread across a large area, with wide roads on both sides. This means you’ll have enough space to walk and shop even if you find the market to be a tad bit crowded. 

It’s a shopping delight, especially for women who love to get their hands on a variety of beautiful and affordable clothing and accessories. One of the lanes here is solely dedicated to jewellers selling an impressive collection of bangles, rings, chains, earrings, and necklaces. Additionally, you will also walk through a lane where you will only find shops offering stylish dresses including palazzo sets, gowns, and party dresses, as well as traditional wear like kurtis, suits, lehengas, and dupattas. There are even a few shops that deal in ethnic footwear and offer colourful chappals at good prices.

Well, all that doesn’t mean men can’t shop from here. From casual tees and formal shirts to trousers, jeans, shorts, and lowers, there’s something for everyone up for grabs. You can also buy some sportswear or sports accessories to level up your game.

There are food and beverage shops at every nook and cranny of the market, so don’t forget to pamper your bellies with some street food while you’re channelizing your inner shopping freak.

What’s more? You will also come across multiple shops that offer kitchen appliances, utensils, and toys for kids. The area is also home to quite a lot of street hawkers who offer everything from snacks and balloons to combs, clothing, accessories, and other knick-knacks at dirt cheap prices. 

For your home sweet home, you can purchase some trendy and adorable showpieces, vases, paintings, artificial flowers, framed art, lamps, and clocks to spruce up your interiors. 

As the sun goes down, the market becomes more crowded, so we recommend you visit it during its initial hours of opening (between 12 noon to 4 pm). Also, here’s a pro tip: do not forget to bargain for everything!
