Some convenors from yesteryears made so much money that they bought a Mac from it - something that would have taken them at least half a decade of working.
DSNLU has good snacks but everything else is the worst
Nlu delhi rajma chawal and dal makhni are among the best ive had in delhi. lemon chicken was so so delicious too. man how i miss that place
NLUO boys get decent food as per mess standards, but let's not discuss the corruption, lack of accountability/transparency, and fragile ego of the student-run mess committee.

already expecting a paid comment.
Let alone nlu, i wanna know which college mess serves alcohol??
That sounds quite lovely. I think I lost 10 kilos when I joined. The food was that bad.
That's because moot court contestants get better food. Those of us who live on campus have to eat food that's one step above dog food.
Studied there for 5 years, so this is legit. Food isn't bad, but yes the watering down of it is true. In any case, good food is available just outside the campus and excellent food is available a 30 min drive away

And still there is no organised protest? Some fine legal education is being dispensed there it seems.
yep, we don't know either, especially when all students pay the same mess fees, but one half gets subjected to poorer quality food and nutrition :')
GNLU mess food is pretty good, and we have a night mess which is open till 1 AM (3 AM for earlier batches I've heard) which had really good paratha, fried rice, frankie, toast and maggi of course - and not very expensive also. They were serving non-veg also for one semester.
If you're a guy, NLUO mess food is amazing. Boys' mess has some of the best food I've seen from among the law schools I've been to. If you're a girl, ehhhh - not so much. Food is always crappy and watery, not to mention inclusive of your local bugs and ants.
CNLU Patna serves a lot of exotic food, like chicken and cockroach curry, mango and grasshopper chutney, and rajma with lizard droppings.
NLUO mess serves pretty good food. The chicken stuffed paranthas are to die for. Also, shoutout to the cheese balls.
NLUD has the Vegas Mall at 150m away now. From Social, BBQ nation, Chilles, 12 screen PVR, you pretty much have all big food chains and restaurants now.
I’ve tried NLUD, JGLS, and NLS. JGLS had the most expansive menu, but didn’t really like the food. NLS had good campus food options but wasn’t a fan of the mess. NLUD mess was better than these two but not great.
I AM FROM GLC.
It does not offer food but I HAS THE BEST ANYWAY.
As someone from HNLU, I can say with utmost certainty that you need to get your taste buds checked.
Would be quite apt now to restart it. All the NLUs are quite a bit of a mess now, overall.
Bar & Bench used to do a series where the editor visited each NLU and reviewed the mess!
NLIU and HNLU also have pretty good food. I still miss the Poha Jalebi at HNLU which I had when I was there for a moot.
There are a few restaurants right behind the NLUD campus, not counting the huge mall 5 mins away and a food court 10 mins away.
I interned at CCL-NLS in 2018 and the food there so homely and affordable !.
Parathas were the best.
If you have to spend money separately to buy food, that does not count as university mess. Hence not really relevant to the current discussion.
I thought the JGLS campus is sprawled over such a huge area that it actually has got separate pincodes for different buildings? Surely you would require a limo to go to the mess from the hostel?
These are within campus. The restaurants in Delhi, Bengaluru and Kolkata are for from the NLUs and you need to take an auto.

You need to buy things separately from there, right? It's not part of your hostel/mess bill. By that logic, might as well make all the Delhi restaurants an extension of NLUD's mess, or the Kolkata restaurants that of NUJS.
Better to eat veg food in college messes, because the meat is often stale and infected.
JGLS is #1 because you have the option of a food court in addition to mess food: Subway, Domino's, Keventers, Moti Mahal, Burger Point, Punjab Grill, Bercos, Breakfast Round the Clock etc.
Have heard pretty good reviews of Patiala's mess. I'm confused who to believe
But NALSAR fails at general mess hygiene. People leave plates with food in them outside their rooms and hostels for days on end. Stray dogs and cats eat from the same plates until someone decides it's creating hygiene/ant issues and deposits them back in the mess pantry.
The fierce rivalry between chicken curry and paneer kofta remains the stuff of legends.
Did you go on a food trek across all NLU messes? Because one wonders how you could have made that call otherwise.
GNLU food is still good. I can tell you that it is the best among all NLUs.
What utter nonsense, politicisation of MessComm? Where you getting your info?
Patiala food has to be among the absolute worst. The dal, dahi and lassi were all indistinguishable and 90% water.
GNLU serves nonveg food. No NLU mess serves alcohol anyway, what is your point?

Did Sadhguru get served that radioactive paneer back when he visited? Would explain a lot.
NUJS food used to be good until the mess committee became politicised.
I went to Jindal for five years. Food was rubbish. In my view some NLUs have food 100X better than Jindal any day
NALSAR food is great... as a dog food substitute.
Yes dropping long young NLU graduates from above
Meanwhile JGLS sitting at the throne and laughing at y’all proletariats
Gnlu had real good. I really liked the food when I was there for a moot
Yes, any cockroach or lizard found in the food should be properly cooked according to the best oriental recipe, by cordon bleu chefs, and served hot, like it's done in Jindal.
