Eating Cheap in London?

If you fancy indian style kebabs, then you must try Raavi Kebab House on Drummond St (near Euston Station). Cheap as chips, yet serving arguably London's finest kebabs. Have a look at the reviews:

Eds for an American Diner, not expensive though neither what I would call cheap, and also not near the museums I'm afraid:

If you're there on a Monday, Slug and Lettuce have 50% off all food and are found all over the place.

If you are in Soho then there are a couple of really cheap places:

Maoz - Vegetarian - Gorgeous Falafel, as much salad as you can pile on inc sauces plus Home Made Pitta - eat in - less than a fiver. Very Healthy - drinks extra
http://www.maozusa.com/restaurants/locations/london

Moolis - Indian wraps - eat in - my favourite is the Goat with Pomegranate Salsa - around a fiver.

Benitos Hat - Mexican - (Covent Garden and Goodge Street) - Gorgeous Burrito's filled with Pork (or chicken, steak), Rice, Black Beans, Salad, Guacamole - Eat in - Around £6.00

Soho Joe - eat in Pizzas at £7.00 - always busy.

I would used Pizza Hut between 3-5pm the Happy Hour Adults each and soft drink for £5 each and under 12's eat free so family of 4 can eat for £10 including drinks

We were in London last month and had breakfast and lunch at Henrys Cafe Bar, Piccadily and it is really good value for money ( not London prices at all).They also have a place in Covent Garden.

Ah Ed's Diner. Is it a nice place. Not the cheapest place though, but they do have the nicest ever milkshakes! (1 is enough for 2 people, especially kids)

You can get a tastecard free trial for a month and use that at Planet Hollywood - the kids will love it. But it's not worth it for full price! And you have to phone in advance to book a table (I booked 2 hours in advanced). If you do get a Tastecard it's really good in London, they have an app for phones (if you have a smart phone anyway) but check on the terms and conditions before you use it.

The Stockpot just off Haymarket is great value for money if you are in the Piccadilly area. British/Italian style food, cheap and cheerful. There used to be one in Kings Road that I ate in regularly for lunch & this Haymarket one is great if you're going to the theatre. Also good for breakfast if you are staying at the LSE accommodation in Northumberland Avenue.
Ate 2 meals there when had a weekend in London with my friend earlier in the year- she couldn't believe how cheap it was right in the heart of the West End and its nice as well. Not fancy but welcoming & bustling.

Set menu lunch 2 courses £5.95, 3 courses £7.90
Set menu dinner 2 courses £7.95, 3 courses £9.90

English breakfast from £4.95. All day English breakfast including toast & tea or coffee £5.95.

They only take cash though, no cards.

The stockpot and Chelsea Kitchen are good.

This Indian veg restaurant in Chapel Market Islington offers all you can get for about £3.99

http://www.allinlondon.co.uk/restaurants/restaurant-1347.php

Brick lane has loads of Indian restaurants all plying for trade.

There's a Wagammas near the British Museum.

You can get Lamachun - Turkish style pizza for @ £1.50 in the Turkish restaurants - loads of them in Dalston, Stoke Newington and Green Lanes but maybe a bit far.

Then the chains that have been mentioned that you can get vouchers for.

Giraffe is a good one for kids.

Hey Vintner great minds think a like!

We were typing at the same time!:rotfl:

I had my first date with my son's Dad at the stockpot (or maybe it was the Chelsea Kitchen - it was nearly thirty years ago!:rotfl:)

No it was The Stockpot on the Kings Road - has it gone then?!

You don't say Central London though, maybe that's why?

I didnt say anywhere so maybe thats why.. Though with the OP saying they are willing to travel maybe people should about that rather then some dross regulaqr chain restaurant.
