    All states comes to one place
    Dilli Haat is an open air craft bazar cum food court by Delhi Tourism. It has paid entry with Rs.30/- for adult. Inside the haat handicraft of almost all states and the foods from these states are on sale. Along with these at places folk songs and dance of specific states are going on. Though the foods are not very high price but the handicrafts are very high price.

    Amazing place - a must visit
    I live in Delhi and I have always loved going to Dilli Haat which I do often. Whenever I go abroad and I want to bring some gifts for my foreign friends, Dilli Haat is the place to go. These days the Dastkari Haat Samiti exhibition is going on with the Craftsmen displaying their wares. This place is complete with lot of eateries as well therefore if you have stamina you can spend a whole day there. Winters are the best time to visit. In addition to handicrafts, ethnic wear and other items, there is always some cultural program is going on in the Haat. It is really worthwhile to visit the place especially when the entrance fee is so low.

    Eat, shop, roam around, relax!
    Adjacent to INA metro station, this is one of the oldest tourist place of Delhi. Being a Delhite, I've known people to just go around here with friends and have a good time before the concept of malls were even born. The place is divided in stalls from different states of India, marketing the speciality of their states. The diversity and versatility of this place is its biggest strength. Though, being more of a tourist place, the items comes with a high cost, more than that what you pay in local market, but the variety of products, their authenticity and everything under one roof (or rather no roof since its an open market) makes it a worthwhile experience. Same goes with the food. It has variety of food from different states, and though you might not get the exact same taste what you get in the native place, the recipe and cook being from there is a consolation of sorts. The prices of food may be higer than local market prices but its way less than the trendy food chains and high class restaurants. Also, it has a nominal entry fee (Rs 30 for an adult) before you can experience all the bliss. Must go place for a local and tourist alike (at least for once).

    A versatile experience but no good place to eat
    a good place full of life. i went there to check out the teej celebrations. its open on the weekends. lot of good shops where you can buy handicrafts, handloom apparel, marble and wooden show pcs for your home and many other such things. no doubt i enjoyed shopping here the vendors charge a bit high rates but the vibe is awesome on special occasions there are dance performances etc cultural programmes going on, tarot card readers, palmists etc but sadly there are no good restaurants at all. a handful of food stalls where the food is sub standard and hygiene doubtful so i guess after exploring this place its best to head somewhere else for a meal ! also i would add washroom facilities arent good so yeah thats another minus point. but connectivity is superb its right next to metro station. there is an entry ticket line and foreigners are charged rs 100 while indians are charged rs 10.

    Give it a skip- save your money and time.
    You pay $100IRN as a foreigner to enter. There’s nothing special- same shops as outside in other markets/bazaars. Save your money and shop elsewhere. Rug/carpet store located to the left of the entrance- when I first entered was quoted $4000INR for a rug (crazy $$$). Came back 1 hour later to the same shop lady and price shot up to $4500INR?! She said a story how she gave me “morning good luck price”. Good try- so rude.

    Great marker
    This is a lovely market to visit for shopping and eating in Delhi. The market is not super crowded like you’d find in the bazaars throughout the city. It’s great for buying leather bags, pashmina, Kashmir or jewellery. You can barter and can get some good steals.

    A market for all of India’s crafts and art
    Eclectic mix of handicrafts from each state in India. You must pay to get in and foreigners pay well over what Indians pay. Careful when you buy your ticket because last year I was given less change so best go prepared with correct amount. So much to buy. So many pieces of clothing providing you can bargain the prices down. I like the Himalayan clothing which is nice and warm. Good selection of native restaurants with state by state food. Have fined here previously without adverse outcome. Artwork and handicrafts are stunning and not so expensive if you bargain. Great market place within walls so no beggars etc.

    Pleasant shopping & windows shopping experience!
    You pay a small fee to enter and you have various booths and shops from different collectives and artisans. Prices are higher at many stalls but I think it’s worth it. Its an enclosed area so you’re not among street traffic and noise. It’s cool to be able to “meet the maker” and see people actively making the items to purchase. There are small businesses and artisans selling things from woolen hats, artsy purses, accessories, soaps, art, you name it. I bought a warm hat (it was freezing!), some hair pins, hair oil, books, and painted bookmarks. I enjoyed just looking at things too! If you go - do stop by the tribals store. They have shops all over India that sell handicrafts from different tribal groups fair trade. Beautiful items and they always have a sale! From here I bought some nice kurta tops and a black sand teapot set (that I saw at the airport for 4X the price). Salespeople are friendly and super helpful. Food stalls are all in one location selling cuisine from all over India. I enjoyed my momos but you can almost anything here.

    Excellent one stop shopping for souveniers - they have elephant pants!
    I wish we had stopped here the first day of our trip as they have every souvenir you could possibly look for in India at good prices. One store just inside the entrance, to the right, up some small steps, had every color elephant pants you could imagine. We had searched for those pants for my daughters friends every stop on our tour of N. India. A waste of time and stressful considering this place had it all. If you start and end in Dehli I would ask if the hotel could hold a small bag with the souvenirs you purchase so you can pick them up on the way back home.

    botched henna and expensive goods
    I knew it was a tourist trap but was willing to pay more for some good quality work. My only regret was to go to a lady who charged me 300rp for a botched henna which looked like a kid's drawing. The makeshift stands right outside Dilli Haat's entrance were selling prettier and cheaper accessories.

A ruin of its true self. This place which encouraged artisans is now a roadside market selling clothes and imitation jewellery at 5 times the market price. Just a farce.
Go if you like being swindled.
The food outlets are still ok.

Lots of great crafts and national fabrics and clothing available. However, the prices are at least double or triple of what you can find in other markets. Similar items can be found in Lajpat Nagar markets or Old Delhi area.

If you’re visiting Delhi and want to buy lovely souvenirs or gifts, don’t do it anywhere else but here at Delhi Haat. Beautiful handicrafts from true artisans in an enclosed, clean, safe and fun environment. The food stalls are terrific and the prices are very reasonable. Highly recommend spending half a day here - there’s something for everyone (locals and tourists alike).
