We asked chefs for their top cheap eats.
Roti King, London
"Roti King in Euston does a Roti Canai for £5 and you can easily order a couple of extra Roti and still stay under a tenner. I have been following this guy around town since he had a small section of a little Malaysian restaurant near Chinatown and seemed close to giving up; he has since been “discovered” in Euston and has queues out the door. He is a nice guy and deserves the success." Ross Shonhan, chef proprietor of Bone Daddies, Shackfuyu and Flesh & Buns
Bagel Boy, Bristol
"A nice and simple idea that is done to perfection. Imaginative fillings, amazingly fresh ingredients and amazing service. The salt beef bagel in particular is an absolute babe. So tasty." – Dan Beaumont and Andrew Evans, Voodoo Ray's and Ray's Bar
Bagel Boy
Diwana Bhel Poori House, London
"I go there for the Southern Indian veggie food. Order a couple of starters like a bhel poori or dahi bhalle chatt (both £3.80 a pop), a massive dosa (£5.10) with the trimmings and a lovely mango lassi (£2.25). Great spices and textures, super fresh and amazingly cheap." Chef Malachi O’Gallagher, from The Delaunay and The Delaunay Counter
Joy Luck, London
"Joy Luck in Chinatown. Hands down the best hand stretched noodles in beef broth known to man for under £10" – Carl Clarke, Exec Chef, Chick ‘n’ Sours
