Over the last decade or so we’ve seen a large number of malls coming up in different parts of the city. We’re listing our favourite malls in Delhi NCR that have it all—the best retail outlets, great food options, as well as some kickass entertainment.
Disclaimer: Do remember to wear a mask and continue practicing social distancing if you choose to head out.
We find ourselves coming back to Select Citywalk quite often. From high street brands and make-up brands to eating joints and theka options, there’s really not much we’d change about this place. Plus, the outdoor area (with pretty fountains) makes for good respite from the indoors, if you want to take a break.
Recommended For: Zara, Good Earth, La Senza, Modern Bazaar, Krispy Kreme, Pita Pit, Aldo, Sephora, Bobbi Brown, H&M.
PS: While the Zara at Select Citywalk is definitely the best in the city, check out these 10 online homegrown brands that are just like Zara!
From high-street brands to nice restaurants and cafes, there’s quite a bit at DLF Promenade that gives you a well-rounded day of shopping, eating, and chilling at the mall.
Recommended For: Forever 21, Innisfree, Charles & Keith, Mocha Arthouse, Pure Home And Living.
Looking for IKEA-esque decor? Here are some brands that'll remind you of this brand's aesthetics.
Adjacent to Select Citywalk, DLF Place has changed its avatar to DLF Avenue. It offers everything that its neighbour doesn’t, which is why we think they’re the perfect pair, working to give us shoppers everything we could possibly need. You will get everything from athleisure, ethnic fusion, footwear, home decor to salons, a books store and also a co-working space.
Recommended For: Uniqlo, Desigual, Sibang Bakery.
