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.

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.

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
