Legendary place for snacks. Last time I visited 11 years back, surprised to see the same look and feel. Samosa, Kachori, Poha Jalebi, Milk etc. is worth a try here. Generally there is a queue to take coupon, as this is a place frequented by students. Food is served in newspaper cuttings. The best part is you get everything hot as whatever the shop makes gets consumed so fast that next new batch of food is always kept ready to be served hot. Cleanliness is a bit of an issue as people dump their used papers...
