An upscale market for bookstores, cafés, restaurants and branded shopping.
Khan Market is one of the most expensive and upscale retail destinations in India, and among the highest-rent commercial areas in Asia. Located in Lutyens' Delhi near India Gate, this compact but chic market is a favourite of diplomats, politicians, expats, and Delhi's elite.
Despite its reputation as an elite market, Khan Market is genuinely fun to explore — known for its excellent bookshops, specialty cafes, gourmet food stores, designer boutiques, and vibrant street-side dining.
Khan Market was originally built in the 1950s to rehabilitate Punjabi refugees who came to Delhi after Partition. Named after Khan Abdul Jabbar Khan, a leader of the Partition-era refugee resettlement movement, the market has transformed dramatically over the decades into one of Delhi's most fashionable addresses.
Today Khan Market is known as the hub of Delhi's intellectual and creative class. It's not just shopping — it's a cultural experience. The market has a strong book culture, with Bahri Sons being one of Delhi's most beloved bookshops.
