Getting there, parking and timing

  • Metro: Khan Market station on the Violet Line is a short walk from the market.
  • Parking: there is paid parking around the market, but it fills quickly on weekend afternoons and evenings.
  • Best time: weekday mornings for breakfast and a quiet table; weekend lunch is the busiest slot.
  • Stairs: most cafes are on upper floors reached by narrow staircases. If anyone in your group needs a lift, call ahead.
  • Booking: advisable for The Blue Door Cafe, Perch and The Big Chill on weekends.
Middle Lane runs between the front and back rows of shops, and many cafe entrances are there rather than on the main front. Look for the shop number before climbing stairs.

Nearby: Lodhi Colony, Chanakyapuri and Diggin

Khan Market is close to Lodhi Colony's Meharchand Market, where OT Eats flagged new openings such as FES cookies and Athyeka in July 2026. It is also a short drive from Santushti Shopping Complex, home to Diggin Chanakyapuri, the best-known branch of the fairy-lit garden cafe this site covers. If you want outdoor seating that Khan Market's upstairs cafes rarely offer, see the garden cafe guide.
