Yahan ka samosa
tumse zyada senior hai.
— Pandit Ji’s Canteen, Est. 1954
About us
In 1954 a small counter opened near Gwyer Hall on the North Campus of the University of Delhi. Tea, biscuits, a few snacks and an affordable place to sit - it soon became the adda where papers were planned, debates were argued and one more cutting chai was ordered.
Generations of students, professors, scholars and alumni have made the corner part of their daily route. Meetha Samosa arrived in 1975 and became the sweet ritual remembered across campus, and the menu has since grown to paranthas, chowmein, maggi, dosa and cold coffee.
Today Pandit Ji’s Canteen still runs on a familiar taste and a familiar face - open daily from morning until late evening.
Serving since 1954 - longer than most alumni have been alive
Student-priced meals - no bill shock ever
Meetha Samosa that started in 1975 - a campus legend
Open from early morning till late evening, every day
The adda where papers were planned, debates were argued
