The first thing we noticed about this cafe was the spacious rooftop, which is perfect for the upcoming winter months to hangout with friends. A rooftop cafe in Satyaniketan means it's safe to assume that people here love to have shisha so do make a note of that. Some of the popular dishes include crispy chilli potatoes, chilli mushrooms, and shakes.

If you are looking for delicious, kinda authentic and value for money Asian food then don't think twice and head to China Bowl. The restaurant is dimly lit with old furniture and Cantonese tunes playing in the background so don't expect a mind-blowing ambience but it is the food that takes centre stage. The delicious wontons, khao phad rice and kimchi salad are our go-to order.

Don't get it wrong but this isn't a cafe, it's more like a grab-and-go spot for maggi and food on-the-go. Being the quintessential campus maggi point, expect a few very funky maggi options like Punjabi tadka, spicy lemon and barbeque coupled with tried-and-tested options like Hong Kong style and cheese 'n' pepper. They also have momos, garlic bread and fries in case you wish to skip the maggi.

Another restaurant in Satya Niketan that's perfect for those hearty family dinners! Pukhtaan is a tribute to legendary Chef Padmashri Imtiaz Qureshi by his son – chef and founder, Ashfaque Qureshi.

KC Restaurant is your typical local spot for all things hearty and a tad bit unhealthy. Their momos are a hot favourite among students (with Venky bang opposite to it) and they have over 50 options to choose from, from the classic steamed and fried to tandoori, achari, gravy, pan fried to unheard combinations like manchurian momos, Singapuri momos and what not. Don't want to teste these waters? Stick to ordering a plate of their soya chaap.

Okay, we know this spot from our DU days and let's just say it's that typical post college momo spot where you decompress with a piping hot plate in one hand and an insanely chilled bottle of Thums Up in another. They do have seating inside which is great if you wanna have a proper meal with the usual desi Chinese options like noodles, fried rice ands others. The place is a little tricky to navigate since it's in one of those patla lanes but worth the visit if you wish to have simple steamed or fried momos.
