Tariq Road Shopping

Tariq Road provides a variety of goods, worthy of Saddar Bazaar. In addition to shops selling local goods there are shops which sell imported items as well. Tariq Road is frequented by people living in immediate vicinity, the surrounding cooperative housing societies as well as from other parts of the city.

There are notable individual shops and bigger shopping centers as well as the usual kerb-side stalls. The more well known shopping centers are listed below:

Shopping Centers

Rabi Center, situated at the northern-most end of Tariq Road, is made up of a host of stall shops selling all kinds of fabric. Yards of silks, satins, chiffon, organza and embroidered fabrics are to be found here. There is also a small shop called Bareeze, which sells excellent quality chikan (broderie anglaise) fabric. Rabi Center is to Tariq Road, what Paradise Market is to Saddar, and much more. In addition to the gold embroidered "shaadi" (wedding) fabrics, one can also get good quality cotton and lawn etc.

On the opposite side of the road is Glamour One which stocks a variety of fabric lengths. Dolmen Centre is another shopping mall, where one can expect to find a range of items. On the ground floor is the 'Virgin' music store, where you will find a good selection of albums. In addition to audio cassettes, they also sell CDs. Also on the ground floor at the corner is a shop that sells beautiful traditional khoosas (traditional embroidered shoes).

Other shopping centers located in the vicinity are Shalimar Centre, Tariq Centre, Mateen Centre and Chawla Centre which are full of hundreds of shops selling a variety of gift items, shoes, artificial jewelry, handbags and clothes etc.

Choori Gall

The name of this street is not really Choori Gali (Bangles Street). We are naming it so because of the countless shops and stalls there which sell colorful glass bangles. A paradise for women during pre Eid shopping days. Many other shopping centers in Clifton and Defense also set up stalls to offer a variety of glass bangles at the time of Eid festivals; bangles are a must for women and young girls during the festive Eid season.

Other Shops

Shalimar is known for its stock of western clothes, shoes, lingerie etc. Shabbi's, Baby Corner and Baby's Own deal in children's wear. Arte is among the first shops to stock imported items such as stuffed toys, frames, cards, posters and other gift items. In addition to these shops, there are many more shops in and around Tariq Road, which sell all kinds of stuff. Check them out!

Apart from these major shopping centers, there are smaller shopping areas around Bahadurabad and Societies' Area.
