Food Trip in Delhi ( And how much it costs! )

Must Try Affordable Restaurants in Delhi

Food is fairly cheap in India, as compared to other Cities Ive visited , including Metro Manila. For the tight budgeted , food allowance of 400 INR/day ( 7-8 USD ) is enough , but will most likely limit you with basic and street food. Below are most of the affordable restaurants I’ve tried, with its corresponding price range, to give you an idea how much food costs in Delhi ,( and similarly with other cities in India I ve visited ).

Odiya Hotel near New Delhi Railway Station . Main Bazaar . Price range 80 – 150 INR ( 1-3 usd )

Odiya Hotel is in fact an eatery, and not a hotel. Theres a lot of this in India. and I wonder why they always use "hotel" instead of Restaurant.

Street Side Food along Pajar Ganj, Delhi

For the Meat Lovers, I highly recommend trying Stewed Lamb at Bhape da Hotel, in Connaught Place , Delhi . Just google the walking direction from Rajiv Chowk Train Station . Not the cheapest option, with price ranging at 200 – 300 INR ( 4-5 usd) , but food is really good ! This restaurant is also recommended by migrationology.com as among his fave street food worthy of travel.

The Bhape da Hotel Restaurant , mentioned by Migrationology.com as on of his fave Indian Eatery. Stewed Lamb was super Delicious.

Just to give you an idea of the price range of food in India. This is not the cheapest Restaurant , but the place is OK.
