Where do you get a meal for under $20 in Somerville?

"Food costs are up, so is rent, and the cost of doing practically any business is more expensive. When it comes to dining out in Greater Boston, it's harder than ever to find a meal that doesn't break the bank. But we at Boston.com accept the challenge to locate budget bites. Our new project aims to help readers find high-quality, inexpensive meals in Boston's suburbs, publishing new guides to one town or city over the course of a year."

"Can you still get a decent meal for under $20 in Somerville? It should be a meal that one would consider filling, either a single entree, a collection of appetizers or small plates that make a meal, or a combo or meal deal. When sending in your recommendation, please include the restaurant, menu item, price, specify if it's for lunch or dinner, and tell us why it's a genuinely delicious budget meal."

Food and operating costs have risen, making inexpensive dining harder to find across Greater Boston. A project will compile suburban guides to identify high-quality meals priced under $20. Somerville is the first city targeted, noted for a growing, once-more-affordable restaurant scene that now often costs as much as neighboring Boston and Cambridge. Readers are invited to submit specific recommendations for filling budget meals under $20 — a single entree, several small plates, or combo deals — including restaurant name, menu item, price, lunch or dinner designation, and a brief explanation of why the item qualifies as a genuinely delicious budget meal.
