1. Moolchand Paranthewala
Well, technically, that’s not the name of the stall, but there won’t be a single Dilliwala who doesn’t know about it. The legendary Paranthewala of Delhi, located right outside the Moolchand metro station, provides you with arguably the best and the cheapest Paranthas in Delhi. Open 24×7, it never fails to attract people at any point of day because of the tasty Paranthas (especially Anda Parantha) and amazing veggies to add to the flavor.
OYOs located near this outlet can be found here.
2. Comesum
Located near Hazrat Nizamuddin Railway Station, this eatery is perhaps the only true all-night restaurant in the capital (which is sad, I know). Comesum is not the typical fine-dining restaurant and the ambience is perhaps that of an elaborate college canteen, which is not a bad thing if you are a bunch of friends casually hanging out or just hungry late at night and don’t have any other place to go. The prices are reasonable and the spread is pretty vast.
This outlet is a real saviour for hungry travellers using the Hazrat Nizamuddin Railway Station. Such travellers should also make it a point to book their stays at the OYOs nearby to cut down on the travel time and cost from the station as well as to stay right in the middle of the bustling localities of South Delhi. OYOs close to this place can be booked here.
3. Bun-Butter-Chai
This is a hot favourite among Delhi University’s North Campus students and residents. It is open till 5 in the morning. Located near Patel Chest, North Campus, this little stall lives up to its name and provides simple yet delicious bun-butter with mouth-watering omlettes and boiled eggs. Enjoy all of it with Chai, and say goodbye to the midnight munchies.
People travelling to the North Campus from other cities can enjoy a relaxing stay quite close to the campus. OYOs located close by can be found here.
4. Jama Masjid
No matter how late it is, you’ll always find one or the other restaurants open as you go towards the Meena Bazar side of Jama Masjid. Old Delhi is famous for its non-veg food, and these restaurants & dhabas very righteously follow that tradition. Due to the space-constraint, you rarely find a dine-in option available, but eating outside has its own perks. Biting on the juicy Chicken Tikka late at night gives you a crazy, happy feeling of joy.
This place is ideal for those staying close by. OYOs within a short distance from Jama Masjid can be booked here.
5. JNU Dhaba, 24*7
The Dhaba by the Jawaharlal Nehru University is one of the best when it comes to serving delectable food, at any time of day or night. The joint is a favorite among all the students and also a number of office goers who return after night shifts. The Dhaba is open for twenty-four hours and although they do not have home delivery, a meal for two can cost as less as INR 250 here.
6. IIFT Dhaba
The Dhabas are located around Qutub Institutional Area and it just opposite the Indian Institute of Foreign Trade. The Dhaba is open from 9 am and is open till 11 pm, though it stays open longer if there are guests. The best thing is that they also have a home delivery service and a meal for two can cost just about INR 300. All the standard Dhaba food like paneer masala, paratha, sandwiches, and lassi are found here.
7. Havenmore
Located at Pandara Road Market, this is a slightly pricier restaurant but if it is good food and great ambiance you are looking for, then you have to come here. The eatery remains open from 12 noon to 12 am and is a favorite haunt among a lot of Delhiites. A full meal for two can cost around INR 2000 but it is completely worth it. They also have home delivery service.
8. Maal Gadi
An eatery with an interesting name, Maal Gadi is located at Sushant Vyapar Kendra, en route to Gurgaon and has earned quite a reputation in a very less span of time. The restaurant stays open from 12 noon to 3 am in the morning and a meal for two will cost only about INR 800. They also have home delivery service.
