The Ultimate Champa Gali Guide: Where To Shop, Eat At, Things To Do Nearby

One of the coolest hoods in Delhi, Champa Gali has some unique stores and cafes, and a very aesthetic vibe, especially in the evening, perfect for chilling around with friends, getting some insta-worthy pictures, and delicious bites. Just when you step in, you will see that every store has cute, friendly pets all ready to greet you with wagging tails. 

What I was a tad disappointed with is that people have started calling you to come to their cafe, like how it usually happens in the HKV market. The parking can also be a lot better. It's near a cowshed and they charge INR 50 per hour for that. Although, everything else still seems the same! 

How To Reach: Champa Gali is around a 5-minute walk away from the Saket Metro Station. You can also take an auto, they will (should) charge INR 40 or less.

Jugmug Thela

Jugmug Thela is probably the picture that comes to mind when you think of Champa Gali. The fairy lights, pretty ambience, indoor and outdoor seating, and the amazing Vietnamese Coffee! We recommend the cheesy mushroom alfredo pasta, peri-peri fries, and a refreshing glass of lime soda. The food portions were quite adequate and the bill didn't hurt the wallet at all. This is yet another café where you can pick up a book and just relax.

Bella Vie

Bella Vie stood out the most among everything in Champa Gali because of its extravagant decor. It offers a myriad of cuisines from Continental and Chinese to Italian, perfect for a big group that can't come to a consensus. Bella Vie also has rooftop dining options and several spots to get the perfect Instagram moment. The entire theme of the restaurant is blue and white, with a pretty birdcage right at the entrance, so we would recommend dressing up to get that perfect snap!

Red Bricks Cafe

If you want a cute cat to greet you right before you step into a cafe, head to this place right away. Red Bricks Cafe is distinguished by its huge mural of a cat wearing headphones. Yup, it's safe to say that they are cat lovers. They also have a rooftop dining option which looks immensely beautiful in the evening with fairy lights on. We highly recommend having their BBQ chicken salad and gravy momos.

Yamato-ya

Yamato-ya is a Japanese convenience store that stocks meats, fish, condiments, kitchenware and toiletries. From snacks such as Jinju Crackers, Jackpot Fiery, And Crunchy Sticks to an assortment of Ramen, and even beverages such as Pokka Coffee and Yakult. They also stocked crispy seaweed and chicken Maggi masala, all the stuff you'd rarely find in other parts of the city, so we'd make the trip just for that.

Bulluka

Bulluka is a jewellery store in Champa Gali that, as the name suggests, is blue at its best. All the jewellery here is made of stainless steel and brass and has an element of blue in it.
