Ever imagined how would it feel if you could get a plate full of quality, flavourful, delicious food but at reasonable prices, in a lovely ambience and open-air outdoor seating? Well, that must sound to you like a far fetched dream in times when quantity, quality and reasonable prices just cannot go together, all three of them are almost inversely proportional to each other. But what if we tell you that in the times when getting good quantity and quality food sounds like a luxury, there still exists a place which believes in maintaining good quantity, quality and taste while serving you delights at very reasonable prices? Located amidst the hub of cultural activities, in central Delhi, is SRC canteen. This is the heavenly spot where you see quantity, taste and reasonable pricing amalgamating. We discovered this treasure spot recently and are absolutely in love with this place. The service of this place is quick, outdoor, indoor both kinds of seatings are available. They have a decent range of delights on their menu, the menu might seem to be too basic, but trust us the food isn't when compared to the price and quantity you get. We ordered our favourite chicken momo, both steam as well as fried. The sizes of the momos are perfect, not too small or too big. The taste is an absolute bliss and costing us only Rs. 70 for steam chicken momos and Rs. 80 for fried which is super reasonable. We also tried chicken spring rolls, the crispy covering and the balanced and moist flavouring of chicken spring rolls was just the kind of happiness we were seeking for, at that moment. Chicken noodles, well trust us you cannot imagine the quantity of noodles they serve, it cannot be finished by one person alone, you need at least 2 to 3 hungry humans to finish that plate. The flavours are lovely, balanced, not too oily which is also a big concern we all have while ordering street style noodles. Packed with chicken and smokey vegetables, one plate chicken noodles felt like food heaven to us. We also tried chicken chop suey and chilli chicken, chicken pieces are huge, well marinated and perfectly cooked to retain the moisture, and the vegetables served along are smokey and delicious, the kinds which you cannot really leave on plate as leftovers after gobbling down all the chicken pieces, trust us, the vegetables are equally flavourful. Coming to chop suey, the crunchy fried noodles were perfectly cooked to make sure they are crispy and doesn’t hurt while one is munching on it. However the chicken gravy wasn't too good to be honest, after the splendid performance of the chef we had high hopes from the chicken chop suey but it disappointed us, the taste was rather bland and to make it taste good we had to mix sauces and gravy was thickened using too much cornflour than required which gave it a jelly-like texture.  They also have this amazing and refreshing nimbu pani which they serve for Rs. 20, it is a glass full of freshness and just the right amount of sugar. Same with the coffee again priced rs. 20 had a perfectly balanced level of caffeine, milk to sugar ratio. We are in love with this place and hope that this place maintains their quality in future for broke foodies like us to have a place to munch on without having to feel broke. We super recommend this cool hangout canteen!

Shri ram centre canteen is a hidden gem and ever buzzing place. Famous for its art and culture it hosts a canteen serving the best chinese food. The place has seating area both inside and in outer open area overlooking the garden. You can have your own time there or chill with your friends in the open seating area and feast on yummy food. Their rolls are so crispy. The most fulfilling noodles and chilly paneer. All the food is available at the most affordable prices. The quantity is very sufficient. Their lemonade is also very refreshing. The serving people are very polite and quick. Must visit this place if you are around or looking for an affordable yet delicious meal.

Shri Ram Centre lying at the heart of Mandi house is an all time favourite of artists including theatre enthusiasts, fine art lovers, musicians and dancers etc. This canteen delivers quality fast food at extremely affordable prices and mind you their service is extremely quick. If you are lucky enough, you might even spot some actor or director dining at the next table. Suggestion: For Non vegetarians-Try the chicken chowmein and chicken momos For vegetarians- fried rice with manchurian and chilli potato Beverages- quench your summer thirst with their nimbu pani and lassi

This hidden gem in Mandi house is a wonderful place to hang out with friends, without burning a hole in your pockets. We ordered Veg Noodles and chilli paneer (dry) We don't regret a single penny The place offers a beautiful outdoor sitting and indoor one But it gets crowded after 12

It was my favourite college time haunt. The noodles and the momos they do are way better than what’s served in most restaurants. The food has this delicious fulfilling taste to it. They also serve a lemonade that has such a fizz to it that it perfectly quenches summertime itch in throat. The prices are so reasonable you would be bewildered. For brand of Indian Chinese this place is far better than restaurants. Try this over let-downs like Bercos.
