In this economy, weโ€™re eating to survive! Since our hotness canโ€™t cover the bill, weโ€™re hunting the best bites on a budget. Forget sad salads and basic sandwiches - these are tasty eats with BIG flavour that just happen to be cheap ๐Ÿ’ธ

Ima Cuisine

CBD

More than just a restaurant, Ima offers a Deli where you can click and collect - making your lunch break easy and delicious. Known for its authentic Palestinian flavours and drool-worthy baked goods, every dish is a labour of love.


Grab the Georgian 4-Cheese Khachapuri - a dreamy bread boat filled with cheese and egg for just $8.50. But hurry, they only bake a few daily! If you miss out, their Proscuitto Croissant and Pork Sausage Rolls are equally worth the hype.

Oji Sushi

Commercial Bay

A downtown favourite thatโ€™s mastered more than just sushi. Oji Sushi does amazing sandos with perfectly crispy fillings hugged by pillowy-soft bread.


Choose between the 2-pack (Egg Mayo, Crispy Prawn, or Katsu Chicken) or go all in with the 4-pack - loaded with combos like Chicken Katsu & Crispy Prawn or Egg Mayo &ย Crispy Prawn. Trust us, youโ€™ll want more than two.

Sunrise Hong Kong Cafe

Newmarket

If value is what youโ€™re after, look no further than Sunrise Hong Kong Cafe. You know this place is going to be bussinโ€™ when they have their 16 lunch specials scribbled in chalk outside. Dishes range from $4.50 - $10.50, the ultimate bang for your buck.


The portions are hearty, and the prices are unbeatable. Go rogue and build your own combo - like $5.50 Hot Sauce Thick Noodles and $7.50 Pan Fried Dumplings. This is flavour town!!

Newtons Cafe & Noodle Bar

Newton

Sometimes, you just need something warm in your belly. Newtons Cafe & Noodle Bar dishes up hearty Malaysian staples thatโ€™ll have you dreaming about them until your next lunch!


The menu has been broken down into 6 easy sections so you can find your next go-to meal easily. Sneak away from work and treat yourself to comfort done right!

Good food doesnโ€™t always have to break the bank. Whether youโ€™re craving cheesy carbs, crispy sandos, dumpling feasts or soul-warming laksa, Aucklandโ€™s got plenty of spots serving BIG flavour for small prices!


Feast on, Beauties x
