What Dilli Haat INA offers
Dilli Haat INA combines a market, food plaza and cultural facilities in a six-acre setting. Delhi Tourism describes its architecture as traditional North Indian in style, with brick latticework, stone roofs, small thatched-roof cottages and kiosks rather than concrete structures.
Inaugurated in March 1994, the complex was developed jointly by Delhi Tourism, NDMC, the offices of the Development Commissioners for Handicrafts and Handlooms, and the Union ministries of Textiles and Tourism.
Its mix of stalls and public spaces gives you more to do than shop: the complex has an exhibition hall, souvenir shop, open stage for cultural programmes and children’s play area.
Crafts and regional food stalls
Delhi Tourism says the craft stalls are allotted on a rotational basis to registered craftspeople for 15 days at a time. That means the selection can vary between visits, so browse the stalls on the day rather than expecting a fixed line-up.
Food is another reason to make time for a circuit of the complex. Regional choices include momos from Sikkim, bamboo-shoot hot chicken from Nagaland, kahwa and kebabs from Jammu, puran poli from Maharashtra, and dhokla from Gujarat. The food plaza has 25 stalls, and regional food festivals take place periodically without a fixed schedule.

Planning time for a market visit
