You could rotate
Tayyab's, then Vietnamese (Kingsland Rd), then Turkish (Dalston), each time get a meal that shits on their small-town regional equivalents from a great height and each night spend no more than £15.

Sure.
Viet Hoa Cafe just up from where Old St meets Shoreditch High Street (so v bottom of Kingsland Rd) is absolutely excellent, as is the Vietnamese Cultural Centre on Englefield Rd (slightly more annoying to get to but really, really great) - that one I've not done for a couple of years, mind, as Viet Hoa do such a great job.
