Takeaway Dishes You’ve Never Heard of But Need to Try

If you don’t feel like cooking and fancy a night in, then a takeaway is often the first thing to spring to mind. When you’re deciding which takeaway to order from the majority of people turn straight to the classics choices, whether that is an Indian, kebab, fish and chips or Chinese, they are always the safe options.

Across the takeaway market, there are so many other amazing choices that are available to you – not just from the same, typical cuisines. Therefore, ChefOnline has put together a list of all of the hidden gems you will find on their food ordering website. Try something new next time you order food online and never look back.

Japanese Tempura

Along with sushi, tempura is one of the most common Japanese dishes served outside of Japan. You can get different types of tempura including vegetable, sweet potato, various meats and probably the most well-known, prawn. This dish consists of these ingredients being battered and deep-fried before they are served over rice or noodles. It is a great alternative to any rice or noodle meals you would usually order.

Persian Sultani Kabob

This Persian dish is incredibly popular in Iran, these savoury strips of grilled meat are sold everywhere, from upscale restaurants to late-night street vendors. The vast amount of different varieties of kabob is incredible too. As the name suggests, this is a meal that is made for a sultan (similar to a king). It is a combination of a kabob koobideh, lamb, and kabob barg, beef, and it is served with rice and Lavash bread.

Thai Kaeng pa

You may hear this dish referred to as jungle curry as it is from the forested areas of Thailand. The majority of Thai curries are known for being made with coconut milk but, the Kaeng pa is different. Coconuts are not naturally found in the jungles so this dish is traditionally made without them. This is a very spicy, watery curry that is commonly made with pork or chicken. Next time you order a curry why not mix things up and try a Kaeng pa?

Spanish Tapas

Many people have heard of tapas and may have even had it in Spain on holiday, however, they don’t realise that you can get it as a takeaway too. Tapas takeaway menus are packed with all of the incredible Spanish meats, seafood, vegetables, cheeses, breads and other delicacies you would expect to find in a Spanish restaurant. There is something for everyone when you order this takeaway and it is also a great option when you’re not sure what you fancy to eat. Order one of every dish and dig in.

Mexican Burrito

People forget about Mexican food when they are thinking about a takeaway, but it is one of the best cuisines to order. A burrito is essentially a large tortilla filled with lots of traditional Mexican ingredients, including a range of meats and things such as rice, cooked beans and vegetables. You have probably seen or heard of a dry burrito before that you eat with your hands, however, they can also be served ‘wet’ covered in a savoury spicy sauce. This is one takeaway dish that is guaranteed to fill you up.

Arabic Shawarma

If you have had Turkish gyros before then you will know what to expect from Arabic shawarma, as they are very similar dishes. The main difference is the meat, a shawarma meat cone is made from packed-down slices of marinated meat, often chicken but sometimes lamb. This meat is then topped with an array of toppings including tahini, tabbouleh, fattoush, cucumber and hummus before being wrapped in large pita bread. It really is delicious.

Ordering your takeaway dishes

There are so many dishes out there that you may have heard of, but never tried, or that you’ve avoided because you’re not sure whether you will like them.

If you are open to trying something new this time and like the sound of any of the dishes that we have mentioned above, then you need to visit ChefOnline. This food ordering website can show you a range of local takeaway deliveries all offering different cuisine. You will be able to see all of the different restaurants along with their menus and pricing before you decide who to order with.
