Wear spectacles yet don’t feel like selling your house for the new pair you actually want? Head to Nice Spectacles in Ballimaran, who’d be more than willing to help you choose the perfect frame and hand it to you within half an hour.

Not For The Weak-Hearted

Mostly everyone knows that there’s a cheaper version of whatever they’re buying available somewhere in Old Delhi, but very few actually make the long journey there. It was when I realized that my glasses are almost as old as glasses in general that I decided that I should do so.

Nice Opticals is a small shop located on the left side in Ballimaran {about 500 metres after you take the left from the main Chandni Chowk road}; if you’re walking, it takes about twenty minutes from the metro station. We’re only hoping you don’t take your car for obvious reasons.

How Was Your Experience?

The staff at the shop is pretty friendly and would patiently wade you through their assorted collection. Whether it’s a new frame or specialised lenses, they’re likely to have it, and at about 30% of the cost you’d get it for at a regular spectacle shop {this is likely where they source it from in the first place}.

The best part is that they take about half an hour to give you the finished product, compared to the about one day on average taken by online vendors and other shops. No actually, the best part is their prices. I got round frames with anti-glare lenses for about INR 650, something I’d have to shed at least INR 3,000 anywhere else.

So, We're Saying...

If you need a new pair of spectacles or just want to add to your collection, we’d suggest giving these guys a visit. Have some amazing food nearby while you’re at it; there’s no losing here.
