Haldirams is a household name in India. They have a huge restaurant in Delhi near Chandni Chowk. They serve up good, clean, street snacks. Don't expect your average vindaloos and kormas, the food here is proper Indian fare. If you're unfamiliar with the food, a good dish to try is the "pav bhaji" which is a flavoursome snack of mixed vegetables served up on piping hot fried bread.
I don't know the street name, but I'm sure all the taxi drivers will know it. It's near Chandni Chowk, all the locals know it and it's hard to miss.
Updates
There is a new Haldiram's in Lajpat Nagar, in South Delhi, a good taxi driver can take you there. The same people whose savouries are sold in shops in India and all over the world. Great veg sweets and savouries and spotlessly clean, altho always crowded and you have to find your food, pay for it and then sit down.
