Being a student of any of the South campus colleges helps you realize how cool the life here is. We have Satya Niketan, which is a blessing for everyone. From momos to desserts, one can fulfill so many of their food cravings here. You can easily spend the 3 years of your Delhi University time trying different dishes from various food joints here. We give Satya Niketan extra brownie points for not being heavy on the pockets of the students, who are sometimes (i.e. always) broke.
In the course of years you spend here, you will have a lot of time to explore and try the various cafes. If you are confused about the ones you should start with, here is a list of 9 cafes that you just cannot miss:
