How is the hostel food at SVNIT?

The hostel food at SVNIT, like the one at any other college, can be best described as boring and repetitive.

Each hostel is handled by a different mess contractor, which is why the food quality may vary with the hostel. But one thing is for sure that the private contractors try to extract as much profit as they can. The menu predominantly contains Gujarati dishes, which may not be to the liking of some people. The meals have limited options, and one has no choice but to eat whatever is available. The hostels do not serve non-veg meals, but some hostels serve eggs on a day of the week/ on Sundays.

On a particular day, every alternate week, the mess remains closed for dinner. This is the perfect time to explore some restaurants or street foods outside of the campus. The food in Surat is delicious and has a lot of variety. On weekends, many families gather on the footpaths of the Dumas road along the SVNIT walls. There, one gets food stalls with different kinds of veg and non veg options. These stalls serve very affordable dishes. You can also ask your seniors for their favorite restaurants in the city.

The hostel food of SVNIT is manageable, but a bit boring.
