Pallika Bazaar

Is Pallika Bazaar in Delhi like Hyderabad Central (a Western air-conditioned market selling expensive Western goods)?

Or is it a comfy n quaint place to shop for Indian stuff?

Did you try to taste it?

I remember that day HAHA. Pallika Bazaar had to be the most humid hot sweaty spot in all of Delhi. That place was NOT comfy. It did rock though, in a C grade movie sort of filmi way..................

Hyderabad Central Vs Palika BAzar? not even close. Hyd Central is a mall. Palilka is a collection of shops built underground.. In hyderabad go to Chenoy tRade center and do a round of its underground computer shops and you get an idea..

Neither, I have to say. It's a dimly lit, dingy, cavernous underground market with cheap knockoffs of Western goods and aggressive mobs of salesmen playing "smother the white person!"

I found it loads of fun and very memorable, but not comfy in either the Western or Indian sense.

Very hot and humid down there, mainly electronics and DVD shops and a few each of clothing, souvenirs and bookshops. I'm a big shopper and didn't buy anything from the second bunch, the quality and range isn't fantastic.

If you're looking for a pleasant place to buy western goods I'd suggest Connaught Place instead - you'll have to go outside to get between shops but most of the high-end stores have AC anyway, and the quality's generally better (but the prices are also higher).

They got me three times before I caught an old man in the act of applying it on my new Sneaks last year. As he was running away I wiped the Doo-Doo on the back of his Dhoti . Sure smelled like the real McCoy to me Moral: Always have your head on a swivel when you approach the Palika

Congratulations PeakXV! I think you've set a new record!

I'm only a two-timer!

What slightly puzzles me is why you kept going back for more!

The equivalent of Hyderabad Central in Delhi would be Ansal Plaza, definitely not Palika Bazaar.
