Delicious: 50 under $50: Sydney's Best-Value Eats Revealed

Get your South Indian street food fix at this bustling eatery in Harris Park. The menu includes more than 200 snack foods, all of them vegetarian and many you’re unlikely to find anywhere else in Sydney. Expect all the roadside specials, from vada pav – a hot buttered roll filled with spicy fried potato balls – to the paper-thin dosa stuffed with chilli and cheese.

The lively diner has been decked out in mismatched tiles and bright poster art that matches the colours and vibrancy of the food. Finish on a (sugar) high with the tooth-achingly sweet jalebi spirals or gulab jamun balls in syrup.
