Hole-in-the-Wall Curry aka The Curry Bowl

I've been frequenting this fantastic cheap lunch spot for years. Hiding in the Mainstreet Arcade between Lake and Grafton Streets, it is one of several good cheap eateries in this arcade. A friend introduced me about 10 years ago and I've been getting my curry fixes here ever since. You can get a medium sized plate of mixed curry (with popodom) and a bottle of water for $10. The curry is fresh, spicy and consistent. The chilli potatoes are divine and you can top up the heat with freshly chopped chilli pieces when you order. I go for the 'meat eaters' plate that includes a generous spoon of beef curry but a vegetarian option is available for a slightly reduced price. There is also curried pumpkin, dahl, curried mixed vegetables and rice all available and usually I mix the lot (with a slightly bigger spoon of the chilli potatoes - they are my favourite after all - there's nothing better than slightly numb lips after a good curry!)
