1 of 1
You can't really know the culinary essence of Delhi without trying these places that serve chaat under Rs 100!
When it comes to food and acing cuisines from across the globe, we all know how popular Delhi is. From its majestic Mughali preparations to something as basic as Ram Ladoos, the city covers a massive part of the food spectrum, making it the culinary capital of India. Now that we are talking about Delhi’s delicacies, it would be unfair to miss out on 'chaat' that has people travelling from all over the country (and abroad!), because it's just unbelievably delicious!
Be it creamy 'Dahi Bhalle' or tangy 'Gol Gappe', there is at least one iconic joint for each variety of chaat that makes people wait in queues, but compensates with authentic and delicious flavours! So, if you think you haven’t explored this aspect of the city, here’s a list of places where you can eat chaat for under Rs 100.
1. Bittoo Tikki Wala

It wouldn’t be unfair to say that coming from a place as small as Ayodhya, Bittoo Tikki Wala, also known as 'BTW' now, has managed to score an imminent place for itself in the city’s heart. With almost 15 functional outlets, BTW is nothing less than a brand name, delivering consistent quality and taste for years now. If you think that the legacy of the place is enough to make you want to visit it, here’s more- every item here is cooked in olive oil! So yes, your health is also taken care of at BTW. As the name suggests, this is the place where you can find the best aloo tikki in Delhi, and you know what we mean by the 'best' once you give it a try.

Giving cut-throat competition to all cafes and bars in the posh GK- 1, M Block Market, Prince Chaat Corner attracts a huge crowd from across South Delhi, and beyond. A decade of serving the most famous chaat in Delhi has made this stall the market’s highlight, with people stopping by for the giant-sized, delectable gol gappas, and relishing the taste that has stayed the same for years now. If you happen to hit this famous chaat spot in winters, don't miss out on the popular Palak Patta Chaat that makes it way to the menu only during this season.

3. Natraj Dahi Bhalle Wala

It’s not for nothing that a plate of Dahi Bhalla at Natraj is a ritual for people who visit Chandni Chowk regularly. This tiny shop has been around since 1940, with its popularity only growing by the day. Reason? The bhallas sold here are melt-in-your-mouth soft, and taste scrumptious! The curd, on the other hand, is thick and creamy, with the sonth adding a dash of sweetness and flavour to it. This street food is garnished with some red chilli powder and chaat masala, giving it another layer of deliciousness.
One of the best street foods in Delhi, this dahi bhalla is worth nudging your way through the Chandni Chowk crowd. If you can manage to save some space in your tummy after eating it, you should absolutely try their Aloo Tikki, which is pretty crunchy, and quite well-known too.
Where: 1396, Main Road Near Central Bank, Opposite Paranthe Wali Gali, Chandni Chowk

4. Hira Lal Chaat Corner

Indulge in some fresh and tasty Fruit Chaat at Hira Lal Chaat Corner, that happens to be the best you will find in the capital. Served in a huge cup of fruit skin, the chaat is lip-smacking good and healthy, and makes for a good evening or mid-morning snack. The fruits and yoghurt used in the preparation are sweet and delicious, while also being extremely fresh, which is exactly what elevates the taste of this best chaat in Delhi.

Another iconic eatery on our list of best places to eat chaat under Rs 100, Vaishno Chat Bhandar is Kamla Nagar’s pride. Almost always bustling with students, who can’t seem to get enough of everything on the menu, which by the way, also has Malai Chaap on it, this stall is the highlight of the area. From Papdi Chaat to Aloo Tikki, the options are diverse, and definitely worth trying.

One of the very few places that serve Kalmi Vada, a Rajasthani street-side delicacy, this quaint outlet will leave you surprised with its tangy chaat, served with dollops of sonth. The shop has been serving its loyal customers for almost 150 years now, and even that long a time has failed to change the taste of their spicy dishes. We’d recommend not missing out on their Bhalla Papdi Chaat.
Where: Shop 1462, Near Sheesh Ganj Sahib Gurudwara, Chandni Chowk
When: 12:00 PM - 10:00 PM
7. Bishan Swaroop Chaat Corner
Widely known for its sweet and tangy Fruit Chaat - which is a mix of tomato, star fruit, guava, watermelon, cucumber, beetroot, apple, orange, papaya, freshly fried potato and chickpeas - has been around since 1923. The chaat is served in a dona (leaf plate) and garnished with spices such as roasted cinnamon, black pepper and chaat masala, combined with lemon juice and tossed in coriander chutney. The freshness of fruits and the flavours of spices stay with you for a while. Bishan Swaroop Chaat Corner is definitely one of the best places to eat chaat for under Rs 100.
Where: 1421, near Mahavir Jain Library, Chandni Chowk
When: 10:00 AM - 9:00 PM
8. Roshan Di Kulfi

If you have been looking for the one place that can satiate your craving for Raj Kachori, then Roshan Di Kulfi is calling out to you. While you won’t be able to get over the Raj Kachori served here, we would really recommend trying their piping hot Pav Bhaji too!
Where: 2816, Ajmal Khan Road, Karol Bagh
When: 8:00 AM - 9:00 PM
9. Lala Babu Chaat Bhandar

Another place known for its Fruit Chaat, Lala Babu Chaat Bhandar will leave you wanting more, especially with its desi ghee-cooked food items. Unlike most fruit chaat joints in Delhi, Lala Babu Chaat Bhandar has a lot of options to pick from, and extremely delicious ones too.
Where: 77, Chandni Chowk, Old Delhi, opposite McDonalds
10. UPSC Chaat Wala

Named after its customers, the UPSC aspirants, this chaat stall starts serving only after noon, but has a long queue almost always waiting to hog on its tasty chaat. While the place aces almost everything on its menu, you wouldn’t want to miss out on the aloo tikki, which is served with sonth and mint chutney. Add to that, creamy Falooda Kulfi, and we bet you would come back smiling!
Where: Dholpur House, Shahjahan Road, Next to UPSC Building
11. Raju Chaat Bhandar

Don’t be deterred by the lack of seating facility at this tiny chaat stall, because the tender Kathi Kebab and chaat will totally make up for it. Apart from the scrumptious Dahi Bhalle, Gol Gappas and Papdi Chaat, you will be left drooling over the spicy Pav Bhaaji they serve, making it one of the best places to eat chaat under Rs 100 in Delhi.
Where: 76, Srinagar Colony, Bharat Nagar Road, Ashok Vihar Phase 2
When: 12:00 PM - 9:30 PM
12. Chote Lal Chaat Bhandar

If you are someone who really likes potato, and wouldn’t mind adding some to your chaat, then Chote Lal Chaat Bhandar is the place for you. Located in Sitaram Bazar, this stall is popular for its Aloo Chaat, Mixed Fruit Chaat and Dry Fruit Chaat, making it one of the most famous chaat in Delhi, and rightly so.
Where: 1028, Sitaram Bazar, Kucha, Sharif Beg, Sita Ram Bazar, Old Delhi
13. Ashok Chaat Corner

This is yet another must-visit eatery on our list of best places for chaat under Rs 100. Reason? Kalmi Vada! There are very few places in Delhi that serve this Rajasthani street food, and even fewer that do it right - Ashok Chaat Corner is definitely one of them. Apart from Kalmi Vada, you also shouldn't miss out on their Papdi Chaat, that has people commuting in metros from all over the city, just for a bite!
Where: Shop 3488, Chowk Hauz Qazi, Near Chawri Bazar
When: 10:00 AM - 11:00 PM
14. Padam Chaat Corner

Four kinds of gol gappas, amla water instead of imli water, and Dahi Papri Chaat - this is what makes Padam Chaat Corner one of the most sought-after chaat places in Delhi. While you might think that the pricing is slightly on the higher side, because of the variety of gol gappas and amla water; it’s really not. What we would, however, want to point out is how humble the man behind the counter is, and how he just makes the whole experience better with his modesty and customer service.
Where: Gali Barf Wali, Near Kinari Bazar, Chandni Chowk
When: 2:00 PM - 9:00 PM
15. Chaat Chowk

An extremely hygienic and well-maintained place, the Chaat Chowk in Galleria shouldn’t be missed. They offer a number of chaat options, while making sure everything tastes really good. We would recommend their Dahi Gol Gappas and Sev Puri - and you can thank us later!
Where: SF44 DLF Galleria Dlf Phase 4, Gurgaon
When: 11:00 AM - 9:30 PM
