If you're a vegetarian, this is the place to be. Even if you're not, it's a great place to check out! There's a range of curries available, as well as desert. It's a great place to hang with locals, and people are generally quite chatty. There are 5 Lentil as Anything locations in Australia, but the one at the Abbotsford Convent is the largest.
Rumor has it that the average paid is $2 per person, so if you can afford it, be generous. What you pay might help someone in need eat that night.
