  • Amazing place, know as heart of delhi, its a very classical place, designed in such a manner that shopper with a view could enjoy alots with its classical environment, walked this place alots, with some one, and then without someone now, but still its all in here, still I do go there, no matter even if I dont have to shop, still go to those places, old coffee houses, kfc, mac, wengers, blues and refresh those memories, wearing the same yellow shirt..
