All said and done, however what I feel is that i am lucky to be born and brought up in Delhi.
In Delhi you can easily get food from around the country and below Rs. 20, whether is Dhokla from Gujrat, Dosa from south, Chat from UP or bhature from north.
Just try and spend some time in the lanes of Old Delhi and in Rs.20 you can afford a kings meal.
There is a street by name of Gali Arya Samaj (Sita Ram bazar). There you can find couple of Shops selling Kachoris with Aaloo Subzi. Trust me its a treat, in Rs.5, you get two kachoris, Aaloo subzi, Kachaloo Subzi, gajar ka Achar, Mirchi ka Achar etc. What else can you ask for in 5 bucks.
The same shops serve Puri and bedmi in Mornings, again two of them at Rs.5 (includes all the usual stuff).
As far as the taste goes, well none of my visits is complete in that area without those kachoris.
Well since I am a food junkie and have enjoyed my food at lot of places, keep on checking this place for more details.
In kollam there is a small house called mamis house situated opposite Benziger Hospital where you get 6 idlis with chutney and molakapodi just for Rs.5.
Are you one of the poor Souls who are fuming over high prices for good and tasty food ? If so, then Madurai is the heaven for all of you. This is a city that never sleeps and one city where you can have food at anytime round the clock.
yeah folks,I've eaten foods from various parts of world right from Star hotels ,speciality restaurants and others. but none of them can match the food and quality provided by any roadside restaurant in Madurai.Meant for Money and quality worthiness.

tryout the Misal which is available near collector's office - Court naka in Thane. the area is small but clean and the food is tasty and you have variations like light,medium and strong. After having Misal, you can try their Masala Tak(buttermilk) all this for Rs.20/-
For best Chaats try them in Matunga (central).You have to come out of station and cross the road and Lo the Chaat shop is visible.They use mineral water/ aquafresh for pani puris. It's superb. Try once and you will want more.
How can I forget Tanku's !!! Right infront of IIFT. Though the place is a little costly in comparison to the regular tuck shops, it provided awesome chicken prantha's and chicken macaroni, served with Gun Powder !
Sassi.. A tuck shop , right outside IIT-Delhi Hostel gate. The awesome, Bun + Egg omlette with a steaming cup of Chai. Rs 4 Aloo Prantha, Rs 8 for Egg prantha, Rs 3 for Chai and that was life at IIT-Delhi. I would always miss that.. all through my life
Everybody talking abt food @Rs.20 and asking to eat only one dish, very unfair. Come down to Indore's ( MP) famous Sarafa Market to have a treat of Lifetime. Saraf is a Bullion market in the daytime and turns into a food place after 9 pm till 1 am.In Rs.20 u can enjoy SabudanaKhichdi@5,samosa/kachori@5,PaaniPuri@5 and Gulaab jamuns@5. Now come and beat this offer.
Nothing beats the Rajinder Da Dhabba...at SDA Market, South Delhi. The fried chicken and Seekh kebabs are awesome.. and you get 1/2 a kd of kebabs for Rs 60 !! a sumptuous meal for IIT-Delhi hostlers!!! and then the very famous. Parantha Shop at IIT Delhi Flyover. Any time of any night.. and you are sure to find the prantha shop's lamp burning and frying the prantha's in any almost any mix that you want!!! Absolutely amazing treat to people who wants to sneak out of the hostels and try some street Stuff.
