When it’s hot in Delhi, the only thing to wear is cool, “chikan” work clothing.
And the classic place to buy these light, summery clothes is at Lal Behari Tandon, an unassuming, low-key shop in Aurobindo Place market, to which shoppers have been beating a path for years.
Selling only Lucknowi chikan, and only classic designs, the prices are more than reasonable, the service unfailingly polite, as they open kurta after kurta after kurta for you to choose exactly which embroidered design you wish to buy.
Nothing fancy about the interior. Nor the prices, which suits most shoppers just fine.

I have never told the staff, over the years I have been shopping there, that I write and blog, and obviously I buy my own clothing.
Personally recommended.
