With its bi-fold windows opened wide to the hum of Crown Street, this is a great place to fuel up on your way home or before a night out. A cut above most chicken shops, it also offers aromatic curries, braises and a chalkboard full of tempting burgers. Ravenous? Grab 'the tradie', a re-worked Aussie burger piled high with beetroot and fried egg. For the gourmets, the 'little lambie' offers luscious slow-cooked meat slathered with garlicky aioli. There are also plenty of healthy salads such as quinoa with eggplant, the perfect accompaniment to juicy free-range roast chooks, which come as whole birds or halves, with or without stuffing.
