After a busy morning at work, the last thing you want to do is wonder what you’re going to have for lunch. Luckily, our favourite foodie finds at Central Shopping Centre have something for all tastes – from spicy chicken wraps, through to delectable grilled burgers and healthy salads. The best part? You can grab them for under a $15!
Red Beetle Cafe
Known for their easy grab-and-go meals, Red Beetle Cafe has some amazing options for under $15!
