http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/ Welcome to Been there. Your tips on the places you know - that you love, live in or have just visited - are what make this guide. http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/31169 Chandni Chowk was once the finest market in India. It forms a maze of busy lanes and noisy alleyways surrounding the main street of the walled city of Old Delhi. It is one of the best places to buy just about everything, and to do so while experiencing the authentic chaos and colour of India.
Avoid the heat of the day and visit in the evening, when the electrical shops flash brightly with strings of garish lights, and the streets become a swirl of bangles, sandals and spices.  Visit silversmiths, textile emporia crammed with jewel-coloured fabrics, and tiny shops selling handmade marbled paper.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/31169 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/21018
It serves Mediterranean food (mezze, pizza, salads) as well as brilliant desserts and breads. I love the hot chocolate and the paninis!

Its in posh Khan Market, but much cheaper than the rest and it is so calm and relaxing - a great place to recharge yourself before heading out into the madness of Delhi.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/21018 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/9085 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/9085 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/9028 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/9028 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/9027
Rest of the market is great for shopping where Indians do (silver, gold jewellery, designer wear) and at the same time also cheaper stores with belts, shoes, Indian cosmetics, etc.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/9027 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/3403 A microcosm of Indian crafts and tastes.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/3403
