What is the mess menu of SVNIT, Surat?

The food quality is better for girls as compared to boys. Overall, the mess food is decent. You’ll adapt to mess food after some time.

The menu keeps on changing after a month or two. It is finalized after a discussion between the students and the hostel authorities. The students are also given the freedom to change their mess. The breakfast menu comprises items like Poha, Puri Bhaji, Idli, Medu Vada, Aloo Tikki, etc. The menu also contains corn flakes, bread butter/jam, milk, tea and coffee.

Lunch consists of dal, vegetables, rice, roti and curd. Dinner consists of items like Khichdi, Methi Malai Matar, Chole Puri, Aloo-Onion Paratha, Pav Bhaji, Biryani, Vegetables, Dal, Rice, Roti, Salad, etc. Ice cream is served for dinner, but not on a daily basis. 

The mess food tastes best during the initial days/weeks. As time passes by, it starts to feel boring and kind of repetitive. Non vegetarian food is not served in any mess, but eggs might be served if majority students require it. Ice creams, Nimbu Pani and Fruit Salads are included in the menu during summers. 

During festivals, once or twice every semester, special meals are served in the messes. This meal contains some special items like Jalebi-Rabri. From second year onwards for boys, and from first year itself for girls, there is a mess off day for dinner every alternate week, with prior notice. 

Enjoy your SVNIT journey to the fullest, and do not worry much about mess food as it is quite decent.
