this is my *favourite* place to eat anytime I'm needing a quick, healthy, good-value meal and going through Sydney domestic airport.
for $9.50 i get a small salad that gives me 2 choices from their vast range of salads, the friendly staff are always helpful in deciding which dressing goes best with which salads, to make the choice easy :)

Approximate cost: $9

my good bro's absolutely LOVED this place since moving into the area, and it gets packed out, especially on weekends, so it my pay to book ahead.
the fruit shakes are truly lovely!!
loved the lamb cutlets & big fish dish! grilled king prawn & mango salad was a winner too!
charge 50c for a takeaway box ..
on the slightly pricier side, and one time i was there the noise from the adjoining restaurant was very annoying. killed the ambience. but otherwise, I'm sure the majority will have a great dining experience here! i look forward to returning & sampling more of their extensive menu!!

Approximate cost: $18

my good bro introduced me to this cafe, warning me that apparently they charge if we sit down to eat?! it must be *that* popular!!
well, the offerings were nice & healthy - a good range of salads, roasted vege etc, however, i wouldn't recommend the grilled fish if you're needing a quick bite as it takes quite awhile to do .. the already grilled fish behind the counter is good .. as are the pastries. yummy, healthy & filling lunch for $11.90. hard to beat!

Approximate cost: $12

secretly hidden from street view, this place gets PACKED!!
with more items on the menu than you'd know what to do with, I give it points for creativity .. highly recommend the lamb roti & wasabi prawn. let don was the price ... but I suppose it was worth it ..

Approximate cost: $18

if you love "Indian street food" as the shop name suggests, this is the place to go! coming in after 6pm, the place filled not long after with South Asians, indicating this place was totally legit when it came to Indian food!
note: the menu is vegetarian, so while i was in the mood for something meaty, i definitely was NOT disappointed! flavours, textures were a delightful adventure with every mouth full!!

having trouble deciding what to order? just ask the friendly staff they'll give you helpful pointers ;)
I'd recommend the chol bhatura (chickpea curry with 2 huge balloon-shaped bread things ($12.95) + a rasmalai kesar faloodi drink ($8.95) that was a nice sweet drink / dessert to finish the meal with!

Approximate cost: $10

this beautiful little cafe features a wide variety of patrsies & cakes, with an extended outdoor garden setting out the back for extra room as the inside can get quite cramped quite quickly on a Saturday lunchtime! they apparently specialise in 'cronuts' = fusion of a croissant & a donut.
friendly staff in a quaint setting makes every visit here a pleasure!
I had the leek quiche + pistachio tart for $13.50 on my first visit ... pricier than i thought, but surprisingly filling!

Approximate cost: $7

came here for a catchup with 2 bros upon their recommendation, i found that on a Thuraday night, there was a 2-for-1 special on meals!! :D ordered the walnut veal ravioli for $24, though the serving wasn't huge, eaten a a healthy slow pace, i was satiafied by the end of it ;)
Upstairs is the best area for dining as it's nice & quiet when we fot there ~ 6pm but but it gets busier & noisier
I was surprised that they .. DONT SERVE DESSERT?!]

Approximate cost: $20

beautiful quaint spot for yummy organic wholefood eats with friendly, quick service, and dishes that *always* satisfy! I've been 3x in as mny weeks! I'd highly recommend the Tajin lamb cooked in a moroccan Tajin & The Shooka brekky special ;)

Approximate cost: $20

I tried the seafood risotto for $22 at this busy cafe on York St ..the serving was HUGE! [enough for 2 meals!!]
great service & nice food - only i was eating outside for a meetup & there were plenty of smokers around for me to passively smoke, despite all the 'no smoking' signs, which absolutely RUINED the meal for me .. [which is why i only gave it 2 stars for quality .. food was fine, just the atmosphere of smokers was horrid]

Approximate cost: $20

been wanting to try out this local restaurant since I moved here 8 months ago, my friend loved the pork belly with honey he ordered for $21, and my beef short rib caserole (which was much more of a beautiful beef bone broth with noodles than what I thought a 'caserole' would be ;) was deliciously healthy for $25.
they gave us the widest assortment of side dishes I've ever had at any Korean restaurant I've been to [8!!!!!!!!)
.. they had a few interesting *ahem* items on the menu, might possibly be worth a try another time ? ;)

indoor spacious seating is a big plus, serice is good, quite attentive.
look fwd to future visits! :)

Approximate cost: $15
