[quote=Anonymous]Halal Guys. A regular size platter with seasoned rice, a lettuce salad, and your choice of protein is about $13/14 — and is easily enough for two good sized meals. Everything that I’ve tried there has been delicious.

Not what you asked, but don’t forget about Trader Joe’s. Get a bag of salad mix and add protein (I use mandarin chicken without the sauce or the fresh salmon with their salmon seasoning) for a quick dinner. I also like the spanakopita — with veggies and/or protein.

I’m not sure if Maggianno’s still has this, but they used to have a section of the menu where you could get 2 entrees for the price of one — and each entree was a good sized serving. So while the overall price isn’t low, it’s reasonable for what could be 4 servings of a main course. Add a bag of salad mix or heat up some frozen vegetables and add fruit or sorbet for dessert.

I also do things like add veggies to a protein rich entree from my nearby Chinese restaurant — which quickly turns one entree into 2-3 servings.  So the entree might not be cheap, but one entree, including rice, plus veggies for 2 servings works out to a cost per serving that’s less than fast food options.
