Most people who’ve lived in Dehradun would answer your question about the ‘best shopping mall near me’ with Pacific Mall. Probably cause it happens to be the biggest mall in Dehradun. Seriously, it’s got so many brands that you might have gone window shopping there but you may just end up spending half your salary. But then again, when has that ever been something to fear about for y’all, no?
The Times Square Mall is kinda hard to beat when it comes to the ambiance you experience there. It looks and feels super posh the moment you enter its gates. Sure, it might not be located in the actual NY Times Square. But walking through it will make you manifest that empire state of mind. Even if your pockets might not have the keys to an emperor’s treasury.
The Crossroad Mall on Old Survey road has got everything. Be it a spa centre, a fitness studio, or a stellar food court. Apart from a dope collection of brands expected out of every good shopping mall, of course. So yeah, the Crossroad Mall makes you feel exactly like it’s named. That is, on the crossroads with so many options of entertainment to choose from.
Located in Mohkampur, the Lavana Mall is almost always crowded for the number of homestays and hotels in the area. Plus, it’s got a very scenic backdrop to it. Basically, this is where you go when you’re looking for those hill station shopping vibes. The kind of window shopping that you actually end up capturing on your phone and putting up stories on Insta. Because we all know we really don’t do that when we’re in our hometown, no?
If you type ‘best malls near me in Dehradun’ on the Google search bar, then the Doon Square Mall will pop up for sure. Mostly because it’s one of the more upscale-ish ones in the city. Basically speaking, this is where the broke college kids go for the air-conditioning and some free feel-good vibes.
Another popular mall in Dehradun is the Parsvnath Eleganza mall. It’s home to the Silver City multiplex which is pretty affordable even for college students. But don’t think it’s like any of those cinema halls where they only show bad masala movies. Actually, they showcase all kinds of movies that young folks like you are usually excited about. So even though they fumbled on naming themselves by pairing a super desi word with a super bougie word. They’re actually pretty sure when it comes to identifying their target audience.
The Great Indian Place is one of those malls that’s bustling with a huge crowd all the time. And the number one reason for that is their humongous multi-cuisine food court. In fact, it’s apparently the first one to open in the city. To boil it down, the Great Indian Place is more like the Great Indian nightmare for our middle-class dads who take their kids to the mall. The kinda kids who end up making a scene if they don’t get to order everything on the menu.
Vikas Mall houses Carnival Cinemas which is pretty much the go-to cinema hall for most moviegoers in Dehradun. Sure, their name might sound like the name of a UPSC coaching centre, but they fill you up with a different kind of aspiration. To catch as many blockbusters as you can in a month, and getting your monthly dose of over-expensive popcorn (the norm for every cinema hall these days).
For folks who get dragged by their mums for monthly shopping, you must have gone to a Vishal Mega Mart at least once, haven’t you? Yep. And Dehradun’s outlet is popular for the same reason as in any other city. It’s got all your home essentials at throwaway prices. So students in Dehradun, think no more. Grab that friend who comes as close to a weight lifter and head to Vishal to carry a truckload of items back to your rented home.
City Junction Mall is located in, well, the city junction. And it happens to house a Carnival Cinemas movie theatre too. Also, the best thing about this mall is that you don’t have to care about feeling guilty for all the shopping that you do. Because even if you do end up feeling guilty, you can atone for your sins by taking a holy dive in Haridwar which is not very far from there. Jk. Jk.
Okay, this one’s a bonus addition to the list. Although Doon One has not even finished filling up all its shops yet, it’s set to become one of the premier malls in the city. Sure, it does sound like the wrong movie that got downloaded when you were torrenting for ‘Dune’. But the hype that’s built around this mall is no less than what this epic sci-fi movie got before its release.
Last but not least, we’ve got the Unison Mall on our list. Its interiors are elegant, the shops are handpicked and the architecture is just exquisite. So needless to say, it’s a good mall when you just want to close your excel sheets for the day and go out for a relaxing evening full of candlelight dinners and crossing daily transaction limits on your UPI wallet.
