Cheap places to eat out in London

Can someone put a BYOB text next to the appropriate ones?

GOODGE ST - Le Pain du Jour, big, well-filled baguettes from £1.80, cheap baked potatoes and soup as well

Heh, when I first started working in London 8 years ago I used to live off of their Falafal baguettes. So happy that place is still going, wonderful folks to boot.

Not happy with Ed adding East/West. That was my secret little haunt.

Am working near the delights of Whitcross Street market for the next fortnight, which means i'll be spunking a lot of cash at the food vans.

Having only worked in the vicinity briefly before, I only got to try the Hoxton falafel stall, which was ace. Any reccommendations peeps? I've heard the Burrito van is awesome.

yeah i worked just round the corner for a year and a half
the burrito van was the only one i visited down there as the company had a staff canteen
burrito was lovely though

eh Ive never been sold on the burritos

best value for your money in my humble opinion will always be the pasta stall. get a mix - the polenta/goatscheese is well chung, gnocchi's always good

there are about three curry stalls, but one of them is far better than the other two, the one on the right as you're walking north

happy eating

THe burrito van is awesome, but pretty expensive compared to the other offerings, I enjoyed the thai/chinese stand as its cheapy cheap.

The pasta also gets me recommendations, gnocci pleaseee

Can ayone recommend somewhere to eat a medium-fancy birthday lunch on King's Road? Meat or veggie all good with me.

EUSTON - RASA Express, Euston Road opposite Euston Tower - two curries, rice, bread, pickle and dessert for £4 (vegetarian) or £4.50 (meat) - really good quality food as well

Aha is that where it moved?!? I really dug it when on Rathbone Street. Too cheap in fact!

The one on Rathbone Street was basically an extension of RASA Samudra on Charlotte Street. The Express on Euston Road was always independent of those before they both closed.

two curries, rice, bread, pickle and dessert for £4 (vegetarian)

Woah. What

RASA has always been very good value for money. Try RASA N16 sometime. (The web-site is down so I can't link but it's at 55 Stoke Newington Church Street.) The price the other poster gave seems way too low, though.

Disclaimer: I'm a fan but it genuinely is very good.

Their cheap lunch box (rasa express Rathbone Street, not rasa Charlotte Street) was such good value. When they closed there was a sign saying where they moved to, but I never took it down. I assumed Euston Rd was it anew.

Am working near the delights of Whitcross Street market for the next fortnight, which means i'll be spunking a lot of cash at the food vans.

Having only worked in the vicinity briefly before, I only got to try the Hoxton falafel stall, which was ace. Any reccommendations peeps? I've heard the Burrito van is awesome.

The salad place for the best salad in the world! £3.50 with cheese and olives and everything under the sun!

RASA has always been very good value for money. Try RASA N16 sometime

I'm sure I've been a few years ago, don't remember it being stupidly cheap though. Might have to do a Rasa Express / Euston Tap jaunt sometime.

Cheap, but not stupidly cheap. The prices have barely risen in fifteen years and it was good value even then.

Went here last night

http://www.guanabanarestaurant.com

Wasn't dirt cheap but its BYOB, the burger i had was delicious and the mac and cheese was to die for.

Also recommend chicken wing starter and the milkshakes.

Macaroni cheese is children's food. But I love it.

What to eat around the King's Road? Is it just for rich twats?
