Vancouver foodie recomendations

Looking for a good place to grab some grub in Vancouver outside downtown?
For fairly priced eats around Vancouver that I have come to love,
Read bellow about a few spots I've come upon over the years...

BONS OFF BROADWAY - 2451 Nanaimo Street Vancouver, BC
Standard greasy spoon breakfast special spot. I prefer to go to this spot with Bons veterans. Only order the breakfast, and possibly beer depending on the situation. Vegetarians who eat eggs can add mushrooms and/or garlic and onions to the hash browns as I do.. you can also add fried tomatoes instead of eggs or just extra hash.. Great for hangovers but beware it is a get on the list line-up Saturdays and Sundays. 2.95$ man, So cheap!!!

HEIDI’S CAFÉ - 5945 Fraser street (44th Ave) Vancouver, BC
Cute little spot to hide out; Wifi, coffee, and good food. Whatever I order is always good and the staff are friendly. Not as cheap as Bon’s but they serve a good breakfast or coffee break snack. This café is new on the block but seems to be getting a good customer base already. If you are in the area, definitely check it out.

ALL INDIAN SWEETS - 6507 Main Street Vancouver, BC
Excellent all-you-can-eat buffet for 9$ anytime. I would suggest you go on the weekend or any busy time when they tend to have the Malai Kofta and Paneer dishes, may favorites! But they only seem to serve those during the busy times.. otherwise a great spot to grab take-out if you don’t wanna hang around and take in the great Bollywood movies constantly playing. Delicious!

BUDGIES BURRITOS - 44 Kingsway, Vancouver, BC
Everything they make is good, but my poison of choice is always the Burrito and I get it to go. Any of the burritos are scrumptious and awesome at any sauce heat. Lots of options, I generally go for the poser: Veggie ground round, veggies, sour cream, cheese and salsa wrapped in wholewheat tortilla and gift-wrapped in shiny tinfoil for you to bring with you, unless you want to eat in the odd setup of the interior, self-serve water and basket style.. But I love to leave with that silver football, YUM!!! Another vegetarian spot that meatosauruses will enjoy too.

NAAN - 2724 West 4th Avenue Vancouver, BC
Awesome spot on the west side open 24/7!! All vegetarian and everything is delicious. I love the house salad, its full of carrot and beet and sprouts, great. The Asian dishes are great and the veggie burger is amazing, made with in-house fresh patties, love it! This place is not my cheapest spot but is a great healthy choice after a day at the beach! If I could eat there for every meal for the rest of my life, I would die happy! Staunch carnivores attest that it is delicious, I swear!
