Old Stand-bys
Papitos on Pandosy
driving time - 6 minutes
Yes, it's a takeout pizza joint and they're supposed to travel well, but not all pizzerias manage to pull it off. Consistenly good through the years and the current situation hasn't had any negative impact.
J-Wok on Gordon
driving time - 2 minutes
J-Wok is in easy walking distance for me, so unless they're insanely busy it usually means placing the order, putting my shoes and jacket on, and strolling over. The quality along with the size of the meals are both very good for the price.
They offer a number of combos as well as individual dishes to mix and match. I've taken to splitting a combo rather than trying to eat the whole thing in one go on my own.
Bamboo Chopsticks on Carrington
driving time - 2 minutes
Have dined in many times, but taken things to go at least as often. My go-to meals here are their 3 Colour Vermicelli Bowl and their Salad Rolls. I don't make it out to the west side much anymore, but boy if I did....!
New Discoveries
Made In India on KLO Rd.
driving time - 5 minutes
Had eaten from here once before, but hadn't in awhile. We ordered their Butter Chicken along with some Naan bread. It was still piping hot when I got it home and tasted great. The tomato sauce was perfect, not too creamy and
not too thin, and the chicken was cooked perfectly.
C-Lovers on Highway 97
driving time - 12 minutes
I had been aware of this place for years but had never tried it before. Boy am I glad I did. Not only did it become my favorite fish & chips place on the first try, but these people really know how to wrap it up so it is still
steaming hot when you get it home. Somehow they manage to keep it from leaving even a trace of smell in your vehicle but still provide an explosion of aroma when you unwrap it at home or wherever you're taking it. Have ordered
from them again many times since then and never been disappointed.
