Budget-Friendly Restaurants

#1 Cafe Antico Greco — Shop G157 1099-1169 Pascoe Vale Road, Broadmeadows

Greek | Outdoor seating

What makes it great: The queue outside Cafe Antico Greco tells you everything before you walk in. Greek food in Melbourne has a 70-year head start on most cuisines. This kitchen carries that history without being weighed down by it. The kind of restaurant that makes you eat slower because you want it to last.

In summer, the courtyard is the whole point. In winter, the inside is better than you expect.

#1 King Street Pizza

Pizza | Outdoor seating

What makes it great: King Street Pizza opened quietly and got loud fast. The dough is everything. Fermentation time, hydration level, oven temperature — get any of them wrong and it is just bread with stuff on it. This place gets them right. You will not Instagram it. You will remember it.

Hours: Tu-Su 15:00-23:00 | Phone: +61 3 9359 3636

#1 Moudy Vegetarian Falafel

Falafel | Takeaway

What makes it great: The queue outside Moudy Vegetarian Falafel tells you everything before you walk in. This is the kind of place that a neighbourhood builds around. Not a destination — a reason to stay local. This is not destination dining. This is your neighbourhood doing what it should.

#1 Ziyka

Indian

What makes it great: Nobody goes to Ziyka for the decor. They go for the feeling that you have been here before, even if you have not. Spice is not heat. Spice is complexity. This kitchen builds layers — each bite reveals something the last one hid. A restaurant that respects the ingredients, respects your time, and respects your wallet.

Hours: Mo-Th 17:30-23:30, Fr 17:30-24:00, Sa 10:00-14:00,17:30-24:00, Su 11:00-14:00,17:30-23:30
