Commercial
Street
Fondly called "Comm Street" — 2,000+ stores spanning silks, jewellery, home décor, footwear and more. If Bangalore shops anywhere, it shops here.
Everything Under One Street
From Kanjivaram silks and heritage diamonds to Gollar Lane shoes and handcrafted brass — Commercial Street runs between Kamraj Road and Juma Masjid Road, with Dispensary Road and Ibrahim Saheb Street flanking its bylanes. Every wedding trousseau starts here.
"Commercial Street is literally Bangalore's oldest and busiest shopping street. Everyone who's called Bangalore home has been here."
— Tariq Salaam, Travel Writer, 2026
Located in Tasker Town, Shivajinagar — Bangalore's Central Business District, close to MG Road and the heritage Russell Market (built in the 1920s).
The street stretches from Sri Krishna Diamonds & Jewellery to Eastern Stores. Key bylanes: Jeweller's Street, Gollar Lane, Narayan Pillai Street and Dispensary Road.
C. Krishniah Chetty & Co., founded in 1869 on Commercial Street, was jeweller to the Royal House of Mysore — one of India's oldest and most trusted jewellery names.
Namma Metro Purple Line → Trinity Station (1.2 km walk) is the recommended route. BMTC buses connect from Majestic, KR Market and MG Road.
Shops open 10:00 AM – 9:30 PM. Most establishments observe Monday as a rest day. Weekends are the most vibrant.
Where Legends Shop & Memories Begin
Commercial Street is one of Bangalore's oldest and most beloved institutions. Dating back to the early 19th century when it was first developed as a commercial hub during the British era, this iconic street evolved into the city's definitive shopping destination — one that has weathered malls, e-commerce and every retail wave since.
Known fondly as "Comm Street," it sprawls across Tasker Town with its main stretch flanked by character-filled bylanes. From the grandest silk showrooms to street-side stalls selling trinkets for ₹99, the sheer variety is unmatched. Whether you are a bride seeking Kanjivaram, a groom scouting sherwanis, or a family outfitting an entire wedding party — Commercial Street delivers.
50,000+ shoppers visit every day. It has been the go-to for Bangaloreans for generations. As one reviewer put it: "Even on days I have nothing to buy, I'd casually roam around the street."
