Rajma Rice, Chicken Biryani & More: Break For Lunch @ Snack Junction, Nehru Place

Situated in the middle of the Nehru Place office complex, this small shop, mostly filled with working people, has been serving people since 1979 (woah!). Dishing up absolutely yum and cheap food is the USP of this joint. Serving Indian and Chinese, the fare here is comparable to homely and tasty ghar-ka-khana! This place is without a doubt your go-to when it comes to office lunch breaks and those crazy hunger pangs. Here’s what we sampled here:

Kadhi Chawal

This piping hot plate full of homely food looked as delicious as it tastes! Served fully to the brim of a big plate, the quantity is amazing for the price. Smeared with green chatpati chutney and onion rings, this plate of Kadhi Chawal tastes as good as the one cooked at home. It’s more than sufficient for one person and will surely satiate all your hunger pangs!

Price | Rs 55

Rajma Rice 

This plate full of love and almost every Delhiites’ fave is their speciality and sells the most because of its delicious taste and smell which wafts over from a kilometre away. Perfect for a day when all you really is lip smacking home food (read rajma!). This one is also served with their patent green chutney and onions which made it even more delicious. A must, must have especially at this price and quantity!

Price | Rs 55

Biryani 

The name says it all for us. YUM! YUM! YUM! Although we’ve had our share of good and glorious biryanis, this one defo deserves a try. The quantity is absolutely perfect for one person, as it’s served with one big leg piece (YESS!) and a bowl full of masaledaar gravy which is such a treat to our desi tastes. It’s garnished with fresh coriander and onions and green and garlic chutney - you gotta have a taste of this!

Price | Rs 85 (Half Plate)

Non Veg. Platter

Now this one’s a plate full of five mini dishes which will never fail to impress you. A platter consisting of chicken lollipop, chilly chicken, chicken manchurian in gravy, chilly chicken gravy and a choice between fried rice and noodles. The quantity is perfect for one person and we absolutely enjoyed devouring this wholesome Chinjabi dish. A must try for people who want to taste a little bit of everything they have to offer!

Price | Rs 140

The best part about this joint is that you can eat so much with a little amount of money and enjoy it without burning a hole in your pocket. Their Rajma Chawal and Chicken Biryani is a must try for this price. If you ever forget to bring food from home, this the perfect place to go!
