We’ve curated a list of options that you can make a beeline for when you’re hungry AF, and way behind on your PG rent, all under a hundred bucks; bon appétit! 

Chicken Momo Burger @ Wow! Momo

Give the chicken and paneer momos routine at your friendly neighbourhood thela a rest, and try this unique variant of Delhi’s go-to street snack. We’re itching to try these out! Their Chocolate Momos (Rs 40/piece) are also on our radar, so go give them a try next time you’re in Satya.

Spicy Tandoori Wrap @ Café 101

A cozy joint serving pastas, pizzas, burgers plus all the other usual suspects, Café 101 has been around in Satya for quite a while now, but is still considered an underdog in the bustling food alley. We suggest that you give it a shot but start small with their Spicy Tandoori Wrap, which looks super tempting!

We also love their authentic Vada Pav. Go check ‘em out on your next prowl for grub!

Equally popular in North Campus (they have a branch in GTB Nagar too), BYD’s shakes are definitely a class apart and their Wicked Chocolate is no exception.
