If you are a die-hard foodie, come Sunday you could be at North Delhi’s campus area gorging on sumptuous preparations from any of the many food joints that the area is peppered with—that too without burning a hole in your pocket. Choose from local fares like chholey puri halwa at Bille di Hatti or the highly recommended gol gappe and aloo tikki from the age old Vaishnav Chaat Bhandaar. Or deep dive into spicy chhole bhature like a true blue dilli wala at the Chacha’s—for a sheet avalanche of taste for your palette. If you want to go Far East, try the pork fried momos and a variety of soups at the Momos Point. If this is not enough, hop over to Majnu ka Teela—Delhi’s Little Tibet. Lined with food joints, the gourmand in you will be spoilt for choice. Try a huge variety of thukpas (traditional Tibetan noodle soup), Tibetan and Bhutanese thalis or even the home-brewed non-alcoholic beverages. If you want to relive memories of college and student life, the mutton dosa at the Delhi School of Economics Canteen and cutlets at the St Stephen’s College Café are a must try.

Further down south, you can discover a variety of affordable delicacies from various Indian states at Jawaharlal Nehru University's numerous dhabas. Delhi University's South Campus has its share of superb eateries—try the kathi rolls at 34, Chowringhee Lane, the chaat at Mithas and the pastas at Wood Box Cafe. A foodie’s tour of Delhi's numerous campuses will definitely leave you asking for more.
