Perfect for the days you just don’t feel like meal prepping, these lunch deals in the city will help you get through the workday.
And the best part? They also won’t put a dent in your bank account.
Delicious, filling and much better than running into Woolies for a salad (we’ve all been there), gather your work gang or head in solo – these deals promise plenty of bang for your buck.

With both a banquet or express option, lunchtimes at Amara can be leisurely or speedy – depending on what you’d prefer. Priced under $30, the banquet option includes pappadums and mint sauce, mini masala dosai and your choice of a main course served with rice and naan.
Need something fast so you can make your meeting? For under $22, the express lunch option is your choice of a main course (think: butter chicken, palak paneer and more) served with rice and naan. Can’t stay? They even have a takeaway tiffin express lunch box so you can eat on the go!
