Must haves momos and fruit beer, in Delhi Haat! Delhi haat is an open-air food and handmade crafts bazaar located in New Delhi. One can find authentic food from all the different regions/states of India in. But my favourite are steamed momos with fruit beer 🍻

Whenever I'm in the mindset for some serious shopping, I head directly to Sarojini Nagar market. Just bounce on the metro and you're dropped right at the market's entry – it couldn't be easier. This place is a goldmine for budget-friendly shopping with everything from genuine branded items to high-quality copies. Now, here's my insider tip: start your bargaining at half the mentioned price. It works wonders! But, keep your belongings close; the crowds here can get pretty thick.
