If AM and FM is what is required in Kitchen, then one should try some of the Philips radios that are getting sold online. My mother uses Philips RL118N and it works on internal DC battery or AA batteries. If we run radio fully charged internal DC battery, I can sometimes receive MW Akashvani Najibabad from North India all the way down to Central India 1400 km away.
If someone is coming from Dubai, try to order the Sony ICF-J40 radio. It seems to be good quality.
If you visit anytime to New Delhi side, try visiting the Chandni Chowk area or Old Lajpat Rai Market. There are many electronics shops which sell portable radios.
