We don't bundle food — we recommend the best
Most hostels in Osmanpura charge ₹5,000 with meals included. The food is institutional, bulk-cooked, and most girls don't eat it. We keep your rent low and point you to the best home-cooked options in the neighbourhood — so you actually enjoy what you eat.
Forced mess = wasted money
The bundled mess problem
Nearby hostels charge ₹4,500–5,500 with meals included. The food is cooked in bulk for 50–100 people, tastes the same every day, and most girls stop eating it within a month — but keep paying for it.
The Jyoti Girls PG way
We keep rent honest at ₹2,999–₹5,000 and let you choose where you eat. We have personally vetted the best local mess and tiffin options nearby — real home-cooked food from local families at ₹60–80 per meal.
Where Jyoti Girls PG residents eat
These are options we have personally tried and recommend to our residents. All are within 5 minutes' walk from the PG.

The most convenient option — located right next to Jyoti Girls PG. Serves quick meals including Maggi, omelettes, biryani, sandwiches, and chai. Open from morning until late evening.
Jyoti Mess

Home tiffin delivery
Delivered to PG gate
