As the name goes, Chor Bazaar literally translates to ‘thieves market’. Find old, new and ahem, borrowed stuff here for a real steal deal. Starting off from mutton street where there are more than 100 shops, it’s a fantastic place to get your house furniture sourced from. You've gotta make sure you speak to the shopkeeper in depth before going in for the purchase. Though most of them are quite honest about the quality of the pieces they sell, it’s good to bargain and make sure you’re getting your penny’s worth. 

What To Expect: This market has all sorts of antique, old colonial furniture, in addition to decor items like gorgeous chandeliers, sofas, armchairs, and even OTT big decor pieces like fountains and elephants. We have found wooden chairs and beds here too (secondhand obviously.)  

Shops To Visit: Hadi & Co, The Grand Trunk Furniture, Shree Om Timber Mart

Shell Out: The wooden chairs start at a nominal rate of INR 800, while the beds will cost you nothing more than INR 1,500. Make sure you bargain well though. 

Pro-Tip:  It’s open on all days except Fridays. We also recommend stepping out in the mornings on weekdays to avoid the massive weekend crowd.
