Right in the heart of the West End you’ll find Abu Ali [map], George Street, W1, which specialises in Middle Eastern cuisine.

Surprisingly Polish food is also available on the cheap in north west London at Zamoyski [map]. Located close to Hampstead Heath this restaurant offers a range of inexpensive Polish culinary delights in decent sized portions – it’s no wonder this place is popular! Voted one of the top cheap restaurants in the country in the Observer Food Monthly the Afghan Kitchen [map] in North London should near the top of your list when it comes to eating out on a budget. If you’ve never tried it before, you’ll find the food Indian in style but with a Persian edge, which makes it just that bit different. The Limehouse area was London’s original East End Chinatown and although today there is little left of the area some budget oriental eats remain in this area namely Good Friends, Lennie’s and The Thai Hut. Brick Lane has been renamed “Bangla Town” as it is the home of London’s Bangladeshi community. Here you will find Preem [map] where you can have a starter and a main course for under £10! They also offer cooking lessons so you can attempt to repeat the experience with all your leftovers one Wednesday evening. However, traditional East London fayre is still pie, mash and liquor (thin parsley sauce) and fortunately this is one food fetish that you won’t be priced out of if you’re lacking in cash. French cuisine might be notoriously at the more expensive end of the market, but there are a few exceptions to the rule and one particularly reasonable restaurant can be found in South East London. Try The Lobster Pot [map], Kennington Lane, SE11. Enjoy a range of fish dishes such as grilled or poached lobster and salmon as well as delectable mussel dishes. The Borough Café [map], Park Street, SE1, has earned an excellent reputation for offering reasonably priced meals, and also for its exquisite bubble and squeak that makes the Borough an extremely busy café. If you manage to get a seat check out some of the specials on the menu board, definitely worth the wait. Axum [map], Wandsworth Road, SW8, offers an unusual dining experience in South West London based on the exotic and interesting Ethiopian cuisine. Try one of the dishes from the wide menu and enjoy the hospitality and friendliness of the staff. There’s plenty of vegetarian and vegan food to choose from. One of London’s oldest Russian restaurants Borshtch’n Tears [map], Beauchamp Place, SW3, has been around since the first half of the 20th century and offers diners prices that are certainly from a by-gone era. The décor and atmosphere, however, are bang up to date and a visit to the Borshtch’n proves something of a wild vodka-fuelled experience with lively music every night and diners invited to dance on the tables.
