  The original student cafe of Liverpool - well probably not but it has been here for ages and continues to provide all the residents and students of this top end of town with very good and extremely cheap scran.
  
  I'm not sure what Kimos specialise in except being able to provide a mix of very good food on the cheap.  Its all very healthy too with kebabs - not the late night stripped of e donkeys leg kind - salads, coucous, pastas and pizzas.  It does get very busy though between 12 - 2 but you can often come in and just enjoy a coffee either side of this rush.
  
  Kimo's prove you don't have to eat badly to eat on the cheap - at least that's something the students have learned.

  Got a really good and large falafel (nice and crispy) in pitta bread with proper salad, tahini and chilli sauce for £2.50. Price to taste ratio, one of the best lunches in the UK at this point. Plus Dr Pepper in a can, so it is perfect to me.

  It's usually pretty busy in here, for one it's tiny! And more impressively, two because it's right around the corner from the Uni campus and serves as a great snack stop; healthy, cheap and tasty with a range of jackets and sandwiches.
  
  They also have a mouthwatering selection of mains if you're super hungry, I ordered a chicken kebab which came with rice salad and pitta, and boy was I full! It was also exceptionally spicy, and took me a while to figure out why I was almost crying but it was the special relish they'd put on the side. (I'll know for next time!)
  The pizzas are really good but extra extra cheesy and they serve a range of fruit teas and soft drinks.
  
  All this set in a relaxing mediteranean setting with bright hanging fabrics, rustic bare-bricked walls, wooden furnishings and twinkling overhead lights, it's like eating under the stars!

  Kimos is a great place for a snack, but, like Tea Gather, isn't very spacious and if you wanted to go with a large group of friends you'd be better going to the one on Mount Pleasant.
  
  This is a halal cafe, so the only problem is you won't be getting bacon and sausages with your full English breakfast, although the alternatives are just as nice. There are various types of breakfast which always seem popular, plus a widely varied menu of other dishes. Again, for more choice and main meals it is better to head down to the larger Kimos.
  
  With its location on Myrtle Street, Kimos is popular with students and young professionals alike, and it would be interesting to see if they stayed open later whether they'd still get the same good business.

  This is the older and original Kimo's restaurant, big brother to its sister restaurant based on Mount Pleasant further into the city centre. There appears to be a refurbishment going on here at the moment, so the restaurant is temporarily closed. However, it's a fantastic place for a quick and easy meal that isn't going to leave you skint!
  It's a very popular eatery for the University of Liverpool Students as their campus and some of their halls of residence are just around the corner from here! They serve a range of snacks including Pizza's, burgers, salads, and also some authentic Moroccan dishes and kebabs, just as they do in their Mount Pleasant branch!
  Well worth a wander if you're fed up with the usual suspects on Hardman Street for a meal, places such as Hannah's and Bistro Jacques!
