Which takeaway?

I forgot to bring my reasonably healthy chickpea curry to work. I have three takeaways opposite my building, Indian, Chinese and Turkish. The Chinese is just ok but there is a nicer one a 5 minute walk away. There's also a Caribbean food van but I think that closes soon. Anyone care to suggest what I should get? :)

(Smells don't matter because I'm in on my own)

Indian. The best takeaway by far.

ThisIsTheEndgame · 01/06/2019 15:55

What is your Indian takeaway order?

Whichever one you are least likely to have any other time/make similar recipes at home.

Indian takeaway. Peshwari naan, chicken korma and pilau rice. With poppadoms and mango chutney. Takeaway of dreams.

I live in the sticks. There's a fish and chip van once a week, that's it for takeaways. So I wouldn't be getting any of them at another time. I am leaning away from Indian though, because I now have 2 portions of chickpea curry to eat, and the salad I got in Tesco was lentil and onion bhaji. Hmm.

For me an Indian meal needs all the accompanying bits and pieces like naan, rice etc. I don't enjoy just curry and rice so could be expense, although if it's a takeaway I do like a nice bbq chicken breast kebab with plenty of salad and chilli sauce which would be reasonably healthly.

If not I would have a walk and get something from the nice Chinese.

I would definitely try and make the Caribbean van. There's nothing like that close to where we live though so every takeaway we have is Indian orr Chinese and I wish there was another option sometimes.

Turkish. No question.

EnidButton · 01/06/2019 16:10

I've never had Caribbean food so I'd go for that if I could. I'm not even sure what a takeaway Caribbean van would sell.

They do a lovely jerk chicken, brown rice and peas with oxtail gravy and spicy gravy mmmmmm yum

Had a look on Just Eat and the Caribbean food would definitely be what I'd go for. It's all sounds so good.

Thesearmsofmine · 01/06/2019 16:13

Turkish or Caribbean.

EnidButton · 01/06/2019 16:13

Cross posted! Yes, go for that!

Enid, that's so sweet! Like a dessert to me.

Crunchymum · 01/06/2019 16:37

I'd have a chicken shish from the Turkish.

EnidButton · 01/06/2019 16:50

nc It is quite sweet isn't it? Not one for very spicy food so it's perfect for me. Not too often though!

Turkish, definitely. Love the kebabs and huge fluffy pittas.

Chinese would be second choice, there’s a really excellent one near me, but they have problems with their deliveries, don’t think I have ever received a correct order! Often get a random extra meal chucked in, sadly mostly seafood based which is annoying as I can’t eat most seafood.

I am often disappointed with Indian takeaways, and they work out expensive one you add on all the accompaniments.

BarbaraofSevillle · 01/06/2019 17:48

Definitely Turkish.

ThisIsTheEndgame · 01/06/2019 18:48

Went for the jerk chicken in the end. SO good.

Turkish

Jerk chicken with oxtail gravy isn't a thing.
