Hong-Kong Lane

The only major reason one would visit Hong Kong Lane is for street shopping. Because this is where, one can find products in all sizes ranging from tiny trinkets to chunky jewellery, clothing of all sorts – jeans, t-shirts, scarves, footwear, accessories etc. One can easily find a variety of prints and styles in clothing, several designs in accessories and jewellery, affordable footwear, glasses, purses, handbags etc. Most students head to Hong Kong Lane to buy backpacks, sling bags, stationary pouches etc. There are kiosks filled with keychains, earrings, bangles, bracelets, belts, mobile covers, beauty products and perfumes too. These are priced at an affordable range already but the buyers are free to bargain to get what they need at decently low rates.

The area around Hong Kong Lane is also famous for street food. Sections of the lane on Fergusson College Road and Jangali Maharaj Road are recognised as “Khau Gallis” where one can relish delicious chaats like Bhel Puri, Ragda Pattice, Pani Puri etc. Some vendors sell Dosas, Uttapams, Idlis and Vada with Sambar and Chatni, while some sell other famous Indian snacks like Samosas, Pakodas, Wada Pav, Daal Wade etc. There are meal options available too here which are suitable for those who do not or cannot spend much on food. They can go for Pav Bhaji, Tawa Pulao, Chinese, Tibetan dishes etc. For those who would want to dine properly, there are a number of good restaurants like Vaishali, Darshan, Café Goodluck, R Corner Mall, Kalinga, Sarovar Restaurant, Opera Restaurant, Panchavati etc.
