FIND THE BEST CHEAP EATS IN AUCKLAND AROUND THE UNIVERSITY CAMPUSES! FRIED CHICKEN TO PASTA, OPTIONS ARE ENDLESS.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whether you just moved to Auckland, are sick of university food, or running low on funds. Here is my curated list of the best food to buy on a budget.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kebab on Queens<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

45 Custom St, 4 Fort St, 300 Queen St (Auckland CBD)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A franchise with 7 locations in Auckland alone, you can grab a $5 Kebab or add $4.50 for a combo. Perfect when you’re in a rush to get to class or catch a bus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Joyce’s Choice: Chicken Kebab Combo ($9.50<\/em>)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Got Pasta<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

21 Elliot St, Auckland CBD<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hello food truck heaven, for $5 this a quick & easy fix of your favourite Italian carb. Apart from the ability to choose your pasta type, sauce, and cheese. Portion size is also incredibly decent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Joyce’s Choice: Small Pasta w\/ Rigatoni, Tomato Sauce and Parmesan ($5<\/em>)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

*Discount available on the Niesh app<\/p>\n\n\n\n

No.1 Pancake<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Corner of Lorne St & Wellesley St, Auckland CBD<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This was my go-to food in 1st year. Influenced by Korean street food, this small store serves savoury & sweet pancakes priced at $4.50 or below. However, beware of the lines during lunch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Joyce’s Choice: Chicken n Cheese Pancake ($4.50<\/em>)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Revive Cafe<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

33 Lorne St or 24 Wyndham St, Auckland CBD<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The cheap but health conscious champion on this list belongs to Revive. With a 10+ year history of serving student meals around $10 (with Revive student discount). They have a revolving menu of salads, smoothies, hot pots, and desserts. Would not be one to miss if your 2018 resolutions include “getting fit”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Joyce’s Choice: Regular box w\/ Hot Pot & Salad ($8.50 w\/ Revive student discount<\/em>)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sensational Chicken<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

11A Mount St, Auckland CBD<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Were you even at university if you haven’t tried Sensational Chicken? Open from 10AM-4AM, it is perfect for breakfast, lunch, dinner and post-town drunk food. Apart from fried chicken, they are famous for their halal snack packs. Priced at $10 or below (individual portion).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Joyce’s Choice: Lunch box w\/ 1 Thigh, any other piece + Chips ($8<\/em>)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Heat Pizza<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

8 Mount St, Auckland CBD<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Right across from Sensational Chicken lies my favourite pizza joint. From classic flavours such as Hawaiian to my personal go-to Butter Chicken. You can also get a free drink or add a Small Garlic Pizza for $1.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Joyce’s Choice: 9″ Butter Chicken Pizza + Small Garlic Pizza ($12<\/em>)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

*Discount available on the Niesh app<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lord of the Fries<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

1 Queen Street & 183 K’Rd, Auckland CBD<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here is one for my vegan friends. With meals priced at around $10, you can get an animal friendly burger or hot dog. Add $1 and you can also get fries using the Niesh deal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Joyce’s Choice: Chicago Hot Dog + Fries ($10.90<\/em>)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

*Discount available on the Niesh App<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bentto<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

290 Queen St, Auckland CBD (Shop 8)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recommended by the Niesh team, Bentto serves donburi for as cheap as $9. Personal reviews from the team include the fact that Bentto serves yummy meals in big portions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Joyce’s Choice: Crispy Chicken Donburi ($9<\/em>)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Subway<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Auckland CBD<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bread was my first word, and this is why I love ‘Sub of The Day’. Available at any Subway, you can grab a 6″ sub for just $4.90.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Joyce’s Choice: 6″ Pork Riblet Sub, Thursday ($4.90<\/em>)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Japanese Dining You<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

223 Queen St, Auckland CBD (The Strand Arcade)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last but not least, a city hidden gem more commonly known by students as ‘You Curry’. You can get your chosen curry for as cheap as $5. A must visit if you’re in town between 11AM-7PM.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Joyce’s Choice: YOU Curry on Rice, medium ($5<\/em>)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
