Cheap Eats in Glasgow's City Centre

Now when it comes to Asian food, you often have a harsh choice to make, you either opt for a cheap, below average, takeaway or find yourself in an Indian with your friends and before you know it, you're paying for curry, sides, naan breads, starters ... you get the picture.  Here are a few key places within Glasgow which fall between these two extremes, and hopefully wont rip you off in the process!
