For street food, try Paranthe Wali Gali near Chandni Chowk metro station. If you like Paani Puri/gol gappa, then go to CR park market, some of the best stuff there. If you like Chinese, then North Campus area has many stalls. Other than that you can try momos and roadside paranthas/bread omlette wherever you see them.

You eat meat. If yes, which of the below:

1. Chicken.
2. Mutton.
3. Pork.
4. Beef.

Then, we can take it forward.

I love chicken and and beef. mutton and pork i do eat but don't like it that much. First preference would be chicken as i would be traveling with are some don't like red meat.Mostly interested in the meaty stuff only chat and other things are secondary.

Then some good street / semi restaurant areas would be:

1. Market 1 of CR Park.
2. Jama Masjid area. Right behind it is the fabled Karims. Specializes in red, but can do good white stuff too.
3. Left of Minto Bridge (CP) -- nice Biryani shops.
Will add more as I think of them.

If you go to the Chandni Chowk area, go to the end where there is a clock tower, and take the free right inside to another market area. Any sweet shop there will do. Best sweets in the region. Their "gajar ka halwaa" is heavenly, they literally grate the "khoaaa" on top. Damn. I think that is the Kucha Ghasi Ram area.

Bro,

Delhi is a foodie city, I have been there a couple of times, eaten in posh restaurants as well as street. Chandni chowk is best for street food, Carol baugh and cannaught place there are many restaurants.

Also this time of the year is great to let in all the junky and tasty stuff in belly.
