Best restaurants under $15 a head
All the places I head to when I'm feeling a bit tight but want a great value meal. Good with a group of 4 or more to share a greater variety of dishes. I've included some of my favourite dishes with each restaurant.
Some of these are take away shops, most of them are BYO, but I don't recommend BYO to Faheem's (halal), Superbowl or An (doesn't really make much sense to BYO to a Pho restaurant).
These get an honourable mention:
- The Yeeros Shop, Marrickville (lamb, beef & chicken)
- New Zealand Fish & Chips, Botany Rd, Mascot: quite possibly the best hamburgers in Sydney, none of that falling-apart dusted with flour gourmet nonsense.
- Ayam Goreng Jakarta, Anzac Pde, Kingsford: great Bakmi.

Mamak
Haymarket

At $5 a pop for the only real roti canai in Sydney this place is a winner. Noodles and satay are excellent as well. Highly recommended.

Sushi Suma
Surry Hills
|
Steer away from the set menu items and go for the sushi sashimi/tempura sets + katsu dishes. Udon noodle soup with egg for $8 is also great value. The sashimi salad at $12 can easily feed two.

Il Baretto
Surry Hills
|
To stay under $15 you'll have to be brutal and stay away from the salads, entrees etc. and go for one of the pasta + sauce dishes. My favourite is the spaghetti picanti or the carbonara.

An Restaurant
Bankstown
|
Not many options here, just the best chicken or beef pho in Sydney. My favourite is the beef soup with tendons.
