The Dakshinapan Shopping Centre on Gariahat Road, right across from Dhakuria flyover, is an open-air shopping complex where different types of State emporiums from all over India dealing in handlooms, handicrafts, textiles, fancy goods, and imitation jewelry are some of the main attractions making it an excellent place to eyeball a wide range of styles.

The typical Bengali adda (gathering) is incomplete without a brewing cup of tea. So you would be finding a tea stall in every nook and corner of the city. But for those who wish to enjoy a cup of authentic Darjeeling tea then drive down to Dolly's Tea Shop at the Dakshinapan Shopping Complex in Dhakuria. Dolly’s with its thatched roofshades, low-lying, cushioned cane furniture and lots of greenery exudes a lot of warmth, attracting shoppers and college-goers in hordes.
