Majnu ka Tilla

What people say, in short
Majnu ka Tilla, the Tibetan colony in North Delhi, is where commenters send people for trendy and alternative clothes, winterwear, hoodies, jerseys and thrift finds from the stalls in its lanes; one shopper says hoodies bought there lasted two years and beat Sarojini for quality at slightly higher prices. Food is the other draw, with momos, thukpa, laphing and a cluster of Tibetan, Korean and cafe spots, though several people say the laphing here isn't good. The caveats: the narrow lanes get packed, especially on weekends, parking is hard, several feel the shops and cafes are overpriced or overhyped, and a few long-time visitors say it has lost its charm since it took off on social media.
