Delhi, India
One of Delhi's wealthiest residential areas with good cafes, restaurants, and boutique shopping. Very safe and sophisticated, but expensive and away from tourist zones. Shows you how upscale Delhi lives.
Greater Kailash (GK-I and GK-II) is one of Delhi's priciest neighborhoods - wealthy families and expats in tree-lined streets. The M-Block markets have upscale boutiques, cafes, and restaurants where you'll see businesswomen in meetings and people on laptops. Solo dining is normal. English is the default since the clientele is educated and international. Residential streets are quiet but safe with little foot traffic, market areas stay active until 9-10 PM with lighting and security. Police presence is consistent. The vibe is exclusive and sophisticated, not touristy - you're seeing how rich Delhi lives. Nearest metro requires an auto ride, so plan on Uber or app-based autos. Prices are high - expect premium rates for food and coffee, though quality is good and service is professional. Wealthy residential area with good cafes and restaurants - safe, polished, expensive.
